TOWN OF RAVENSWOOD

The first thing you notice when you enter the town of Ravenswood are the many tall chimney stacks six in total around the town.
Ravenswood is about 89 kilometres (55 mi) from Charters Towers

Once a thriving  gold mining town, it is now almost a ghost town with two pubs at either end of the main street, a post office and general store combined, and the court house which is now a museum, the original school building, many old mines. 

The mullock heaps, the old shafts, the chimneys, the rusting machinery and the historic buildings make it an informative journey into a once-thriving and booming gold mining town.
