Charters Towers Bucket List

Charters Towers

Step back in time and discover the authentic charm and elegance of Charters Towers, a living montage of the rich Australian gold mining history and heritage.

When gold was first discovered here in 1871, Charters Towers became a gold rush town and quickly grew to become the second largest town in the state.

Today, Charters Towers and the heritage-listed township of Ravenswood stand as living evidence of the wealth and grandeur of the historical gold rush era.
