Charters Towers is a town in northern Queensland, Australia. It is 134 kilometres (83 mi) inland (south-west) 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. After becoming uneconomic in the 20th century, profitable mining operations have commenced once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We passed through on our way to Townsville, but came back as Fanny Lumsden one of our favourite singers was bringing her Country Halls sidehow tour to the Big 4 Aussie Outback Oasis Caravan Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got to see three acts altogeather for free and thee rwere tasty $15 pizzas on offer, Yummo. Helped soak up the Hop Thief a treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
