24.01.2022 The engine. Railway buffs will be interested in that one!

24.01.2022 This is a nice photo. Old hospital, but...which one?

23.01.2022 Caption of this photo says Hospital Committee. A serious looking lot! Pre WW I???

23.01.2022 Opening of the Ambulance centre. Any idea of the date?? And where was it?????

22.01.2022 The Kybra moored at Hopetoun jetty.

22.01.2022 Moir-Tonks wedding. A cheerful party.

22.01.2022 This month, we will look at the old hospital. Boy.....have things changed!!! This was, according to the label, in operation from1905 to 1973, or...is this a typo and should say 1950????

22.01.2022 Oh my, how things have changed! To which mine did these machines belong??

20.01.2022 Catlin Mine. Now Galaxy????

19.01.2022 Davy Roger's mine and mullock heap. Looks like hard work!

19.01.2022 1987. Moving the Ravensthorpe Museum from what is now the Community Centre to Dance Cottage.

19.01.2022 Junior Farmers Achievement Day. Possibly 1971?? A fine bunch of upcoming sheep breeders. Hopefully the young man's thong clad toes didn't get squashed by his very stocky animal!

19.01.2022 A big event on a freezing day! Thank you to all of those who braved the chill. RHS had a great birthday and a very successful launch of the heritage street walk, not to say a delicious morning tea from Gourmet Grazers.

19.01.2022 Anderton wedding. One of the flower girl doesn't seem sure this is a whole lot of fun!

17.01.2022 FE Daw wedding in1905 at the Ravensthorpe Baptist Church. A very large gathering!

17.01.2022 A train lends itself very well to a picnic! This one is no exception.

16.01.2022 An impressive aerial view of the old jetty, remembered by many locals and visitors.

16.01.2022 Some ofyou might have already read Ravensthorpe's hospital history.

15.01.2022 Ravensthorpe Fire Brigade in 1910.

15.01.2022 More machinery......does anyone know what it is???

14.01.2022 Another one of the old hospital, with Sister Larson.

12.01.2022 The sea, Hopetoun jetty and ships were important in the development of the district. In the next few days, will endeavour to share this history. But the beach was also a source of entertainment, like these boys in their boat.

12.01.2022 Ravensthorpe has a proud history of volunteering. This month's photos will pay tribute to that. The first photo is a group of CWA ladies on Hopetoun's old jetty. Maybe post WW II??

12.01.2022 Who knows anything about Mick's Pool, supposedly at Kundip? Where exactly is it?? These dressed up families are having a lovely cooling time in the 1920s/

10.01.2022 Kundip. Henry Johnson's mine.

09.01.2022 Can anyone else comment on Kaylene Murie's post??

09.01.2022 The old matron's house. Beautiful salmon gums...

09.01.2022 A much more recent photo: clearly a community event organised by North Ravy ladies.

06.01.2022 Nice bales. Whose truck? What year??

06.01.2022 This could be userful for people interested in building Ravensthorpe Historical Society up!

06.01.2022 Arthur and Muriel Archer's wedding. 1934. Where was it?

04.01.2022 Is this the brake van on display in the museum grounds???

03.01.2022 The railway construction site at Kundip.

03.01.2022 Mines contributed, and still do, to the district's raison d'etre. This month we will try and focus on some of the past ones. This one is now operated by ACH.

02.01.2022 The first train on the line!

02.01.2022 The opening of the Maori Queen. It looks like a man's world, not many ladies attending.

01.01.2022 'Tis the time to be moving: this month's theme will be trains, specifically the Hopetoun to Ravensthorpe one. Pictured here is the Ravensthorpe railway station, now a comfortable picnic spot.

01.01.2022 1920. Carting wool. Looks like some of the bales are a bit lumpy......

01.01.2022 No hospital without an ambulance...the opening of the service in Ravensthorpe.
