Townview (previously written as Town View) is a suburb of Mount Isa in the City of Mount Isa, Queensland, Australia.[2]
Geography[]
The Leichhardt River flows north-south through the town of Mount Isa, dividing the suburbs of the town into "mineside" (west of the Leichhardt River) and "townside" (east of the Leichhardt River).[3][4] Townview is a "townside" suburb.[5]
Townview is bounded to the north by the Barkly Highway.[6]
At 380 metres above sea level, Townview is slightly more elevated than other parts of Mount Isa, giving the suburb some views of the town and presumably its name.[6]
