About Richmond Hill (Qld)
Richmond Hill is a residential suburb of Charters Towers in the Charters Towers Region of Queensland, located two kilometres north of the Charters Towers central business district and 136 kilometres south-west of Townsville. Unlike many townships in the Charters Towers area that developed around goldfields, Richmond Hill was intended to be a residential area. St Columba's Primary School for girls was opened in 1876 by the Sisters of Mercy and Thornburgh College opened as a boys boarding school on 1 June 1919. Heritage-listed sites include Thornburgh House at 57-59 King Street.
