15/12 - Charters Towers

The rush gold founded this wonderful town, during the 19th century an Aboriginal kid found little pieces of gold in the river while he was drinking, obviously the European somehow got the glory for it, and since then, many people came to try their luck in finding some gold, some of them got really really reach.

The city itself as for today looks like a country town, like at the old times while the wild west was in the news. We didn't do much there beside soaking in the relaxing atmosphere.
This is the last city prior Townsville where we headed, and we arrived there after such a long mileage.

Have fun,
Efrat & Yoni.
