I spent this week in Charters Towers. As I drove down the Flinders Highway, I was caught up in my childhood memories of living in this great town that I remember so fondly. Country Music Festivals, street parades, Goldfield Ashes, Mingela Rodeo, Christmas Carols, Anzac Day March and of course living in the country where all you buy from the shops is flour and sugar. Everything else is grown.
