About Southern Cross (Qld)
Southern Cross is a rural locality in the Charters Towers Region of Queensland, situated approximately 3.8 kilometres west of the Charters Towers CBD and 140 kilometres south-west of Townsville. The locality is predominantly rural except for a small rural-residential area in the south-east adjoining Charters Towers, with the former Southern Cross railway station on the Great Northern railway line located just across the boundary in Black Jack. The area reflects the broad, sparsely settled character of the northern Queensland outback.
