Hi again Richard & List, My GGrandgfather arrived "On the Towers" around Feb 1872 and obtained a "Miners Right" in April/May of that year. By 1884 he had given up prospecting and had turned his hand to Pastoralism. I have a few different bits & pieces that might interest you including some very early mine photo's that I'll send in a few days once I get them together.

Dear Ray, Just love Charters Towers History. Would appreciate a copy of the mining photographs as well. Thanks. Margaret Bird.
