History

Castle Hill is situated in the traditional Wulgurukaba Aboriginal country.[7] The origin of the suburb name is taken from the geographical feature Castle Hill, thought to be named by an early pastoralist Andrew Ball. The Aboriginal name Cudtheringa was recorded by Lieutenant George Poynter Heath, on advice from castaway James Morrill during a survey of Cleveland Bay in 1864.[8]

Attractions

Castle Hill Lookout is at the top of the hill on Castle Hill Road (19°15′31″S 146°48′09″E / 19.2586°S 146.8024°E / -19.2586; 146.8024 (Castle Hill Lookout)).[13] There is an obelisk at the top commemorating Robert Towns as the founder of Townsville. It had originally stood on his grave in Balmain Cemetery in Sydney until that cemetery was closed and converted to parkland in 1941 and arrangements had to be made to remove any memorials. As a result, the memorial stone from Robert Towns' grave was relocated to Castle Hill.[14][15]
