Our Location

Charters Towers is located 130 kilometres southwest of Townsville in North Queensland at the junction of the Flinders Highway Townsville to Tennant Creek via Mt Isa), the Lynd Highway (from Undarra Lava Tubes to Charters Towers) and the Gregory Developmental Road (from Emerald to Lynd Junction via Belyando Crossing). With an altitude of 336 metres we enjoy an excellent climate with comfortably cool nights and less humidity than the coastal regions. Charters Towers is renowned for its World heritage listed buildings and mining history but today it's main industries are gold mining, beef and education (with five world recognised boarding schools).

See our "Charters Towers" page for details on all we have to offer.

All facilities are available in town including hospital, banks, shops, mechanics, theatres, clubs, cinemas, drive-in theatre, sporting venues, tourist attractions and parks.

The Dalrymple Tourist Van Park is easy to find whichever way you are travelling from.

If you are driving from the north, we are on the right, next to the Golf Course as you first come into town, on the Lynd Highway. From the east (Townsville- Flinders Highway), continue straight ahead rather than take the bypass road to the west. You will come to a crossroads at Dalrymple Road (or the Lynd Highway), turn right (heading north) and you will find us on the left 800 metres up the road.

From the south or west (Belyando or Hughenden- Gregory Developmental Road or Flinders Highway), follow the signs to the city (Gill Street). At the top end of Gill Street turn right (at the Information Centre), continue north on Mosman Street 1.8 kilometres. You will find us on the left.
