Mason and Ashleigh Franks at the 2023 Charters Towers Show
This year’s Charters Towers Show supported by The Towers Pastoral, Agriculture and Mining Association was a massive success with tourists.
The 2023 Charters Towers Show was held from July 30 to August 1 and was thoroughly enjoyed by many visiting the town.
A tourist from Townsville who attended the event, Ashleigh Franks, said she was excited to return in 2024.
“We had such a great time at the show,” she said.
“My son Mason had so much fun and even won some prizes.
“We came in from out of town this year and we will definitely be back next year.”
Founder of the Charters Towers Newspaper, Daniel Sumpton said many tourists approached him at the show with admiration for the affair.
“This year, Sumpton’s Gold Rush Gazette had a booth to hand out past copies of the paper and people were filled with praise,” he said.
“I met people from Townsville, Mackay, Ingham, and many other places.
“They all praised the event and how much there was to do.”
Mr Sumpton also said locals he spoke to were of the same opinion.
“Many close friends of mine who live here loved it, especially the food.”
