Is Townsville Safe for Solo Female Travelers?
Townsville is generally considered safe for solo female travelers. Like any other city, precautions should be taken especially during the night and in less crowded areas. However, locals are usually friendly. Serious crimes are relatively low but petty crimes like pickpocketing or bag snatching can occur. Public places are well-lit and well-patrolled by police.

Pretty safe. I wouldn't walk at night around though. Mainly kids stealing cars. Lock your doors and hide you car keys at night. Also lock your car doors when driving. Other than that, Australia is pretty safe
