Wulguru QLD 4811 · about 8 km from the Townsville CBD
Wulguru sits beside the Bruce Highway south of the city, about 8 km from the CBD, with Mount Stuart rising behind it. Around 4,390 people lived here at the 2021 Census, and its location makes it one of the most convenient suburbs for Lavarack Barracks, about 3 km away.
Most homes are low-set family houses from the 1970s and 1980s, with elevated homes on the hillside streets and some duplexes. Prices tend to suit first-home buyers, defence families and investors, and the older homes attract renovators. Wulguru State School covers the primary years, and Wulguru Park and the local parks, plus the Mount Stuart walking tracks nearby, provide outdoor space.
Annandale Central and Fairfield Central are close for shopping, and the hospital is about 6 km away. Wulguru's hillside streets sit above most flood risk, but lower areas near creeks should be checked on the council's flood maps, and older homes against current cyclone standards.
