There are some pretty dodgy houses in Townsville, but it is quite cheap. Sydney is many times the price in terms of housing than Townsville, i was quite surprised how cheap it is when i first arrived. A good 3 bedroom place in a nice suburb (like riverside gardens) is about $300 per week to rent. Look at Riverside if you need a place to live, it's quite nice.
Anyway, the reef is the real attraction.
My tanks are going to have a HUGE overhaul when i get back to uni in mid February. I'll put some pics up when the surge tanks are settled, and the corals are all in place.
