Charters Towers Tourist Information Centre is situated just 90 minutes south-west of Townsville, North Queensland, nestled in a scenic gold mining city that is big on history and character.
From a chance discovery of gold in 1871, Charters Towers was soon turned into a bustling metropolis, which in its heyday, boasted being the second largest city in Queensland.
Today, the pace is a little less hectic, with locals able to take advantage of the rich heritage of Charters Towers, whilst enjoying a modern, affordable lifestyle through housing, health, education, sport and recreation.
