Goldfield Ashes

The Charters Towers Goldfield Ashes is an amateur cricket carnival that has been conducted over the long week-end in January since 1948.

This Carnival is conducted by the Charters Towers Cricket Association Incorporated (CTCA), and it is now the largest event of this type in the southern hemisphere.

2008 was the 60th anniversary for the carnival and the event was recently given the status of being a Queensland Iconic Event.

The Goldfield Ashes Objective:
‘The object of the carnival is to bring together from near and far our fellow cricketers to participate with good sportsmanship and friendly rivalry in the King of Games. We welcome you and hope that your stay is a very enjoyable one.’
