Charters Towers Regional

Charters Towers Regional occupies an inland stretch of northern Queensland, Australia. Centred on the historic mining town of Charters Towers, it is dry tropical country of open savanna, grazing land and seasonal waterways. Gold was discovered here in 1871, beginning a rush that made Charters Towers one of Queensland’s leading nineteenth-century goldfields; the town’s heritage streetscape still recalls that period. The region is also part of the Burdekin River catchment, an immense inland drainage system whose waters ultimately reach the Coral Sea. Long distances between settlements and a warm wet-and-dry climate give the area a distinctly north Australian, outback-facing character.
