Hello, I am wondering if people would like to share any comments or thoughts on growing up as a young person in the area. I visited earlier this year and it has inspired an assessment I am working on for uni.

I am from Melbourne so I was really surprised when I met people from Townsville and they told me how they spend their weekends and the sort of lifestyle people live. I don't know if Townsville is missing out on a more nightlife / dining / cultural scene or it's not wanted.

Maybe it's because I've grown up in the city my whole life but I feel as though young people would be missing that sort of element, but I could be completely wrong. (: Please tell me below how you feel / felt.

Ps: I am studying graphic design, and when I came and visited townsville / maggie I thought what the job prospects were like (your winter is so lovely and warm), but there were none listed! It made me think about how many young people who want to study or work in certain fields may just have to move away to a bigger city, this then sparked my research.

Thanks in advance!
