Description

Around 130 kilometres south-west of Townsville lies the town of Ravenswood. The old gold mining settlement, tucked away amongst the rolling hills, is a living tribute to the history and heritage of western Queensland. Mullock heaps, tall chimneys, poppet heads and discarded mine machinery pepper the countryside, reminiscent of the town's century-old glory.

Beautifully restored hotels and public buildings will give you a glimpses of what the town was once like. Take the time to stop and explore because there's more to this historic town of Ravenswood than you would expect.
