Charters Towers, gold town
We're now travelling inland on the Overlanders Highway from Townsville west to the Northern Territories. In the late 19th century Charters Towers was the wealthiest of the Queensland gold rush towns and even had its own stock exchange and many handsome civic buildings. After 30 years or so the bonanza was over and it's now a sleepy outback town of 8,500.
