It was a wet and muddy weekend, but that didn’t stop the music or the community spirit at this year’s Charters Towers Country Music Festival.

It was a wet but rewarding day on the fairways as the Charters Towers Junior Open teed off on Saturday. The competition drew 34 young golfers from across the North, all battling it out despite the soggy conditions.

The viewing platform at the Miners Memorial has officially reopened following extensive repairs after being closed for nearly a year due to vandalism.

The caravans are rolling into town, gumtrees are lining the streets, and there’s a hum in the air—it’s that unmistakable feeling that only one thing can bring: the Charters Towers Country Music Festival.

Charters Towers came together on Friday to mark the 110th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings, honouring all Australians who have served in times of war and peace. A highlight of this year’s events was the attendance of a World War II veteran, who laid a wreath in tribute to fallen mates.

The annual ICPA Swim Clinic is currently underway at the Kennedy Regiment Memorial Pool in Charters Towers, bringing together 100 children from remote properties across Queensland for two days of essential water safety training and social connection.

At just 14 years old, Phoebe Moffat is already making waves on the junior golf circuit. Last week, she took out the title of Girls Champion at the Townsville Junior Golf Classic — a major milestone in what’s already been an impressive journey. https://youtu.be/m0sxhi-bE-o
