Exercise heaven

Palm trees line the foreshore in Townsville, far north Queensland, Australia

If you’re a fitness enthusiast then this part of the world really is especially made for you. With warm, tropical weather all year round and a plethora of sunshine there really is no excuse not to get out and about in the great outdoors.

Nowhere is this easier to see than on the foreshores of our far northern cities. This particular shot was taken in Townsville but could just as easily have been photographed in Cairns.

Head down to the foreshores of either city at dawn and you will be witness to  a visual cacophony of active wear-clad ‘serious’ fitness freaks walking, running, jogging and cycling besides the not so fashionably attired just enjoying their daily fitness ritual.
