Logo with gold, upward-pointing geometric lines forming a tower shape above the text

Goldtower Central in Charters Towers is the newest must-visit destination for drive tourists seeking a unique blend of history, culture, and outback charm.

Immerse yourself in award-winning street art experiences that celebrate the region’s rich, gold rush heritage including the Charters Towers Wall of History – Australia’s largest hand-made mosaic with over 5 million tiles; The World – a commemorative landmark celebrating 150 years since the declaration of the goldfields; life-size statues of fascinating historical figures; and much more.

All this, set amongst a thriving retail precinct, home to national and local brands, as well as the monthly Poppet Head Plaza Rotary Markets held February – December.

Drive Queensland acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we work and live. We pay our respects to Elders both past, present and emerging; and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
