What to expect
Charters Towers was built during the gold rush in the late 1800s. This event attracted thousands of miners from near and far seeking their fortune, and catapulted Charters Towers into becoming Queensland's second-largest town. Gold mining continues to play a crucial role in sustaining the local economy and community with three mines still in operation today. Three Gold Nuggets pay homage to these mines and the region's rich gold rush history.
