Heritage on the Great Tropical Drive
Did you know that over 200 tonnes of gold was produced in Charters Towers from 1871-1917? Or that at one stage it was Australia’s largest gold producing field with an average grade of 34 grams per tonne? Download the Great Tropical Drive Heritage Pod Guide and find out!
The Great Tropical Drive history spans thousands of miles across land and seas beginning at Australia’s discovery by Captain James Cook, the Gold Rush and World War II.
In the Heritage Pod Guide we take you to five locations and talk to local experts about some of the interesting history in these parts; including Townsville, Ravenswood, Dalrymple National Park and Fletcher Creek, Charters Towers and Herveys Range.
You can download single tracks for your audio player (MP3 format) or watch video on screen. Watch them on your computer or load them onto your media player and listen to the commentary while you cruise along the Great Tropical Drive.
