I did boarding school in Charters Towers. 82-86. Some of the nest times of my life were spent there.

Hi G (Sol)
Will arrange some pics as soon as the place dries out . Hopefully this won't be too long ...rain is starting to ease after 409mm in past 4days. Nola is beginning to wonder if T is actually the wettest place in australia.
Cheers

  409mm in 4 days!!! Wow mate you might have to get a giant gumboot up there too ;D

Forget the gumboots. I think a snorkel, fins and webbed fingers might be the go. How impressive must some of those magnificent falls look though!

Hi UIZ7 There are about six spectacular mountain waterfalls around our area at the moment including a couple on the famous "Pyramid" mountain near Gordonvale.

Hi Barrabart. Yes a lot of history attached to Charters Towers. Had friends out there who like me worked in Local Government and they thoroughly enjoyed the place. Also had school mates who after primary school went to Thornborough college...I went off to Townsville and Brisbane. Did some army cadet training at Sellheim on the Burdekin River when at Townsville Grammar.
Probably stay in one of the tourist parks in the Towers for 2 nights and perhaps the camping area on the Burdekin Dam Rd. We are into fishing so might throw in the rods and a few fresh water lures and try the weir wall. Not expecting to be away too long so will see how we go.
Cheers
