Charters Towers, Queensland
Charters Towers is a town in northern Queensland, Australia. It is 134 kilometres inland from Townsville on the Flinders Highway. In 2016 the population was 8,120 people. During the last quarter of the 19th century the town boomed as the rich gold deposits under the city were developed.
Take a step back in time and discover the enchanting outback town of Charters Towers, just an hour and a half west of Townsville. Driving through the streets of Charters Towers is like viewing a living montage of Australian history and heritage. When gold was first discovered in Charters Towers in 1871, Charters Towers became a gold rush town and quickly grew to become the second largest town in Queensland. Today, the magnificent heritage buildings are testament to the prosperity of years past. Visit the iconic drive-in cinema for flicks under the stars, pan for gold at the Miners Cottage, take in the views from Towers Hill lookout or enjoy a true outback encounter at Texas Longhorn Wagon Tours. #charters towers #townsville #Nebo, Central Queensland #dorrigo #Uralla #Dangars Gorge #gostwyck chapel #Glen Innes #Dalby Region, Darling Downs, Queensland #lake broadwater #The Entrance NSW #Lane Cove Sydney, NSW #Childers festival, Queensland #Bathurst, New South Wales #Tenterfield NSW #Springbrook National Park #Palm Beach.
