Driving down the wide streets of Charters Towers is like viewing a montage of Australian
heritage. Once the second largest city in Queensland, Charters Towers is as rich in
history as it is in gold.
The main street offers a unique shopping experience where bargain hunters can uncover
hidden treasures amongst the arts, crafts, antiques and second hand stores. So leave the
traffi c lights and the hustle and bustle behind for a few days and take the short journey
along the Flinders Highway from Townsville to Charters Towers – a must-see!
