Charters Towers

This friendly town once boast having 65 pubs during the height of a gold mining boom. Many lovely historic buildings have survived including the Stock Exchange Arcade. There really was a stock exchange here until 1916 when it closed following the decline in gold mining.

The old department store is now a Target store but the original stained glass windows are all intact.
