Townsville is North Queensland's largest city and a major regional service hub for a catchment that extends from Ingham in the north to Ayr and Charters Towers inland. The flat Strand waterfront is one of the city's signature features and one of the best long, sealed foreshore paths in tropical Australia for scooter and power-chair use.
The climate is hot and dry compared with Cairns, with a shorter but more intense wet season. Battery care in high summer heat matters more here than salt exposure, though the coastal strip does still see salty air.
Because our closest full-service base is in Melbourne, all North Queensland work is a delivered, in-home service - a technician brings the equipment, assembles it at your home, runs the handover on your own paths and takes the packaging away.
