Cudtheringa Track takes the direct and very sweaty way up Castle Hill, climbing through dry, rocky scrub as the views across Townsville and Magnetic Island gradually open behind you. The first and final sections are particularly steep, with around 1,400 steps altogether, although the middle briefly gives your legs a break. Carry plenty of water and avoid the hottest part of the day.
