Ravenswood
A once-prosperous gold mining boomtown now almost a ghost town. Located 1459 km northwest of
Brisbane and 89 km east of Charters Towers, Ravenswood was once a thriving gold mining town. Today it is almost a ghost town with a
population of around 100 who service the surrounding area and cater for the growing tourism.
Many original buildings in Ravenswood still operate today, including the
general store, a church with its own special ghost story, private miners’ cottages and the school buildings, to name a few. There are a number of short distance walking
trails with interpretive signs throughout the township. Make sure you collect a copy of the
trails’ map from the Courthouse or Thorp’s building and discover some amazing sites and stories this region holds, both natural and man-made, as
well as stories of the life and times around this incredible
heritage-listed township. Both pubs, caravan park and the Ravenswood Reserve (Showground) offer wonderful accommodation facilities - you'd be crazy not to spend more time exploring this unique town!
