Shoredrive Motel? -
North Ward 117 The Strand,
Townsville QLD 4810? - (07) 4771 6851?
We stayed here last July. The front rooms top and bottom next to
the pool are the best we had the whole place as our finish for a rally. Over the road is the
rock pool and great prawns eat in or take away.
I would stay there again.

Try these guys
We've booked a house through them for the V8 race weekend in early July and they've been terrific...

I take it you are going to the V8 SuperCars.
Read in the paper the other day how accommodation prices during this event have been jacked up THREE times the normal. Tourism industry was trying to defend the tag of "exploitation" saying it is simply a case of supply and demand.
Last year a "tent city" was setup at one of the schools and proved to be a great success.

Must be a boon for
Townsville Malcolm.
We went to the races last year and the closest decent accommodation we could find at short notice was
Mission Beach. 230km away!!!
