📝 Useful Information
The Townsville Gem & Mineral Show 2026 has moved from its previous North Ward location to a new venue in Annandale to provide more space. While some older event listings still mention the North Ward sports precinct, official club updates from early 2026 confirm the change.
The show is the major annual fundraiser for the Townsville Gem and Mineral Club and features over 100 vendor sites.
