Charters Towers Cemetery, located along Lynd Highway in Queensland, becomes the setting for a chilling nighttime ghost tour that explores the region’s unsettling and mysterious past.

Customer Reviews
What a lovely experience, my husband and I were very impressed with our Ghost Tour in Charters Towers! Tracey was our guide, she was fabulous! Tracey is very friendly, accommodating and extremely informative! She displays a lot of passion in what does which makes the tour all the more interesting and special! Thanks Tracey, keep,up the great work, well done!
Tracey our ghost tour guide was an incredible good story teller. I did the town ghost tour and the cemetery ghost tour. I would have enjoyed more detailed and more stories on the town tour. It gave an overall background on the buildings and some characters that lived in Charters towers. It was interesting and informative. Without Tracey's incredible talent in making stories come to life and giving customers goosebumps during the stories it would not have been as entertaining. The town was a little to bright and it took a little away from the atmosphere, and the loud cars up and down main street also broke the spell at times. The town looked lovely in the evening and it was the perfect setting. I did like the cemetery tour, it was lovely and dark, again Tracey was amazing in setting the atmosphere. I did the town tour one day earlier and the stories did overlap and some repeated. I think I would have enjoyed visiting first the cemetery tour. Overall I am glad I did both ghost tours.
Easy to book online, even last minute. Clear instructions for the meeting point. Our guide was fantastic – super friendly, enthusiastic, and respectful throughout. She shared interesting stories and made the tour engaging and fun. She took great care of the group and showed genuine respect for the cemetery and its residents. Great value for money – highly recommended!
