A “must-do” experience for visitors to the Towers. The 150 years old Venus Gold Battery (Mill) crushed ore from the underground mines to extract the valuable gold. Through an amazing audio-visual experience and guided tour, discover how gold was processed during the colourful North Queensland goldrush. On the outskirts of Charters Towers is the oldest and largest surviving Battery in Queensland – the Venus Gold Battery. Built in 1872, this crushing mill provided gold extraction facilities to miners for over a century. The huge “stampers” pounded day and night extracting the precious gold from quartz up until 1973. Suitable for all ages. A great experience for groups, visitors and those who love history…

The tour guide was excellent and knew his stuff. It was a shame that it no longer operates as a demo. Well worth the effort.

Terrible, says it was supposed to be open so we went out there and it was shut on Friday. Charters towers has a lot going for it however there tourism certainly isn't one of them

It was a very interesting insight into how the gold was extracted from the rock and ore. It was a long and very noisy process that really was a very onerous job. John the guide was excellent and a wealth of knowledge of the processes involved and of local history. Take the tour it is well worth it.
