Idalia is a rapidly expanding suburb of Townsville,
Queensland, Australia. Idalia has been at one
stage, a light-industrial suburb of the city, but in
recent years, with the initiation of the Fairfield
Waters subdivision development, the suburb has
rapidly expanded (in terms of establishments) and
nearly tripled in size. Idalia is situated between the
suburbs of Annandale, Oonoonba, Cluden
and Wulguru.
