To experience the rich history of Charters Towers, to navigate the empty streets, to study the architectural languages of yesteryear, and to appreciate the tragedy of a small gold-rush town central Queensland, one can only look at the Venus Battery building with a sense of wonderment as a lasting remnant and memory of the history of place. Traveling to these corners of our vast county and exploring our threads of history is Living Australian. I present the Venus Battery as an iconographical architectural emblem, a building of time, of place, and a building truly Australian.
