A scenic coastal park close to Townsville, Cape Pallarenda is the site of a former quarantine station dating from 1915. Buildings are typical 'Queenslander style' with high ceilings and wide verandahs. The park features World War Two ruins, part of Queensland's east coast defences.
Stroll through the old quarantine station and imagine life in a bygone era. Visit the small museum and gain an historical insight into the area. Walk along the beaches and over the rugged headland to take in sweeping views of Townsville and Magnetic Island. Inspect the World War Two gun emplacements and searchlight positions. Enjoy a picnic or barbecue on the foreshore.
