FRIDAY 16.9.2011: Stayed the night at Charters Towers Tourist Park. 'The World' as it is known, is a scenic gold mining city. From a chance discovery of gold in 1872 by a young Aboriginal horse boy, Charters Towers soon turned into a bustling metropolis. At the height of the gold rush the town included 11 crushing mills, 65 hotels and one of the very first regional Stock Exchanges in Australia. The 'One Square Mile' takes in the city's heritage listed World Theatre, City Hall and the Post Office.

Once a significant allied military base in WW11, Towers Hill pays testament to this with some 30 concrete bunkers dotted throughout the surrounding hills.
