Gulliver QLD 4812 · about 5 km from the Townsville CBD
Gulliver is a central, education-focused suburb about 5 km from the CBD. Two schools and a TAFE campus sit within its boundaries: Currajong State School, Pimlico State High School (both named after neighbouring suburbs, but located in Gulliver) and TAFE Queensland Townsville's Pimlico campus. For families, that means primary and secondary schooling within walking distance.

Most homes are low-set and elevated houses from the 1960s and 1970s, alongside small unit blocks, flats and duplexes. Buyers include first-home buyers after an affordable central address, renovators, and investors attracted by nearby TAFE, schools and the Mater hospitals in Pimlico.
Castletown and Warrina shopping centres are close by, and Gill Park and Sargent Park provide local green space. RAAF Base Townsville and Lavarack Barracks are both around 5 km away. When selling a Gulliver home, showing what's been updated, such as kitchens, bathrooms and air-conditioning, helps it stand out from similar houses nearby.
