Day 151 – Charters PO 1898.


 

Charters Towers lies 130km west of Townsville and was the centre of gold rush in that area in the late 1800’s.  At the height of the gold rush era it was Queensland’s second biggest town.  It still has a lot of the old buildings left over from an era gone by, and it is great to see them in such good condition.    I’m sure if the walls could talk at the local PO and pub there would be a few ‘interesting’ tales spinning around.
