South Townsville sits on the northern tip of Ross Island, bounded by the Coral Sea, Ross Creek and the Ross River. The suburb is predominantly residential but also forms a key commercial and industrial hub, home to the Port of Townsville and the redeveloped Queensland Country Bank Stadium. Major arterials such as North Townsville Road, North Ward Road and Townsville Port Road provide direct links to the city centre, while Palmer Street offers a lively mix of restaurants, hotels and nightlife that reflects the area’s working‑class roots and its tradition of boarding houses for single workers.

The heritage‑listed Victoria Park Hotel and St John’s Anglican Church sit alongside the Civic Theatre, which hosts national and international performances. Townsville South State School serves local families, and secondary students travel to nearby Railway Estate.
