CHARTERS TOWERS Gudjal country

Step back in time and discover the authentic country charm and elegance of Charters Towers, a living montage to the rich Australian gold mining history. Pair this with unexplored waterways, remote bush camping, and hearty meals at local cafes and eateries - your laidback visit is sure to unearth some surprises along the way.

This outback town, 130km west of Townsville along the Overlander’s Way, was once the largest goldfield in Australia and affectionately became known as ‘The World’. Now home to 10,000 local residents, the legacy of the early gold rush era lives on through architectural streetscapes, and a pub on every corner.

Surrounded by quintessentially Outback landscapes which recently became the set of the ever-popular Australian Survivor TV series, the Towers is also home of one of the largest herds of Texas Longhorns outside of Texas. From horse-drawn carriages to safari ATVs, this authentic Cowboy experience is one of a kind.
