Lost fo questions! There's some info here (http://www.jcu.edu.au/student/moving/JCUPRD_031188.html) and some useful info on an expat forum (http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=412544). Good luck!

Townsville , Although it has nice beachfront areas such as the strand there is quite a big problem at the moment with youths running rampant stealing cars , breaking into houses , if you have to move to Townsvile look at an area called Riverside Gardens in Douglas , it's quite upmarket compared to everywhere else about , rents averaging from $340 for a 3 bedroom house with single garage up to between $370-$470 for a 4 bedroom house with double garage
