25.01.2022 Away from city lights, the night sky at the #VenusBattery in #ChartersTowers is unforgettable. At almost 150 years of age, with its great gold stamping machinery now at rest, the Venus is a truly magical sight under the North Queensland stars. #GetOutbackToChartersTowers #TownsvilleShines #ThisIsQueensland #SeeAustralia
