Hermit Park

Hermit Park, a residential suburb, is two km south-west of central Townsville and positioned between the Charters Towers Road and Ross Creek. When the area was subdivided in the 1880s it was considered to be remote from the main areas of activity, central Townsville and Ross Island (now South Townsville). Its remoteness led to it being dubbed Hermit Park.
