Day 52, Saturday, March 4, 2006 West of Townsville is a nice viewpoint from where you can see the surrounding land and the mountains to the west. Charters Towers is 130 kilometers west of Townsville. It boomed when gold was discovered in the 1870’s and many of the old buildings erected in the 19th century still exist. We toured the Venus Battery, a gold extraction plant which operated continuously from 1872 to 1973.
