Charters Towers is arguably the most beautiful inland city in Queensland. It may not have the range of domestic architecture that makes Ipswich so distinctive but in terms of public architecture it is unrivalled. Like Kalgoorlie, Cue and Coolgardie in Western Australia it is a city built from the proceeds of goldmining and, as such, the city fathers (a quixotic band of nouveau riche miners) were determined to flaunt their wealth.
