Townsville, a city on the Queensland coast, features access to the Great Barrier Reef and beautiful beaches. Several aboriginal peoples used to inhabit the land that is now Townsville, including Wulgurukaba, Bindal, Nawagi and Warakamai. Captain Phillip Parker King and botanist Alan Cunningham rediscovered the land in 1819. James Morrill was on a shipwreck near the area in 1846 and lived with Bindals for 17 years before returning to English society. Townsville was founded in 1864 as a port to serve the grazing and mining industries in North Queensland.
