INTERNATIONAL FEMINIST SUMMIT

“Women of Ideas: Feminist Thinking for a New Era”

17 - 20 July 2007 - Townsville Australia

* * ABOUT TOWNSVILLE * *

 

The City of Townsville, situated on the north-eastern coast of Australia, is considered to be the 'Capital' of North Queensland. While Brisbane is the actual capital of the State of Queensland, its location in the far south east corner of the state means that Townsville has become the hub of activities in the North.

With a population of 160,000, Townsville is one of the larger regional cities in Australia. After Brisbane and the Gold Coast, it is the third largest city in Queensland.

Situated in the tropics, Townsville has hot, humid summers and unbelievably beautiful tropical winters. Temperatures in July typically range from 12 to 27 degrees C (53 to 80 degrees F). While there is no absolute guarantee of sunshine during the summit, we can say that Townsville has over 300 days of sunshine on average each year - and it almost never rains in July.
