Cape York Trip – Post 3

Charters Towers

 

 

So we made it to "the Towers". We checked  into the Top tourist van park - we have a discovery parks membership card and get a discount 🙂

At first I couldn't find the dump point. Turns out it is camouflaged beind this door. Would have to be the flashest dump point I have used so far.

 

We did have a bit of a look around.

Had a look at Blackheath - Thornburgh school, primarily  because Ann's Dad boarded there.

Went for a drive out to the weir. I was surprised at the amount of water going over. Particularly as there were signs all around the van park explaining that it was dry and the town was on water restrictions, so short showers and no washing cars or vans.

Went up to Towers Hill. It was very interesting with lots of information boards etc for we tourists. Views of the town and beyond. Ruins from gold processing plants. Audio visual displays in old ammunition storage bunkers.
