RAVENWOOD INFORMATION
Ravenswood is a small mining town and locality in the Charters Towers Region, Queensland, Australia. It is approximately 40 kilometres south of Mingela and about 89 kilometres from Charters Towers. In the 2021 census, the locality of Ravenswood had a population of 297 people.
History
Ravenswood stands today as a living monument to the historical gold rush era when the town thrived with a booming population and over 48 hotels. Nowadays the population is estimated at 255 and only two hotels remain however they have been magnificently restored, capturing the essence of this historic era.
After the discovery of gold in 1868 through to the early 1900s, the township flourished and grew to nearly 5000 residents. Several historic buildings remain from this period. Due to an industrial strike in 1912 and subsequently World War I, by 1915 mining declined and the town was deserted.
From 1879 to 1930, Ravenswood was the administrative centre for local government, initially of Ravenswood Division(1879–1903) and later of the Shire of Ravenswood (1903–1930). However, with the decline in Ravenwood's population, it was no longer financially viable to have a separate local government authority, and the Shire of Ravenswood was absorbed into the Shire of Dalrymple.
At the 2006 census, Ravenswood had a population of 191.
Economy
Two gold mines are in operation in the area, a large open cut behind the town and an underground one at nearby Mount Wright. These days with the current mining operation, the population has grown from 200 to nearly 500. Tourism is also an important industry.
