Ravensthorpe is a small historic town in Western Australia’s Golden Outback region, 541 kilometres south-east of Perth. The town is encircled by the Ravensthorpe Range with its unspoiled bush and diverse range of plants. Mining has played a significant role in the history of Ravensthorpe, and since the 1890s has seen more than 90 gold and copper mines operating within the range. The town's focus is now agricultural, however a small number of mines still operate extracting nickel, lithium and other products.
RV travellers are welcome to park free of charge for 48 hours at the south-east corner of Morgans and Queen Streets. Bins are provided on-site, and pets are permitted on leads. A dump point is located nearby on Dunn Street, and potable water is available at the Information Bay on the South Coast Highway.
Ravensthorpe has many historical sites and buildings worth visiting while in town. The ‘Dance Cottage’ circa 1901 is the oldest original house, and is part of the Ravensthorpe Museum, housing a range of artefacts and memorabilia.
