  Walkabout - Ravensthorpe
Located 540 km south of Perth, Ravensthorpe is a small sheep and wheat town which started life as a gold and copper mining town.
The main attraction is the Ravensthorpe Historical Society Museum which is located in Dance Cottage beside the South Coast Highway.
It was constructed between 1901 and 1907 to keep rabbits ad other pests out of farming areas, and was used as a guideline for three young Aboriginal girls in the 1930s who walked the length of the fence to make their way from enforced captivity back to their families.

Ravensthorpe is situated in northwest Northamptonshire, approximately midway between Northampton and Rugby, eight miles northeast of Daventry, and ten miles south of Market Harborough.
Towards the end of the nineteenth century (1886-90), Ravensthorpe Reservoir was constructed in a valley to the northeast of the village and this remains the major landscape feature associated with Ravensthorpe today.
During the twentieth century Ravensthorpe has seen many changes to its building stock and local services, including the closure in 1962 and subsequent demolition of the village school and the demolition of the former Baptist Chapel in 1972.

After six years and spending US$85 million (included in the development cost) on testwork, engineering, and pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, BHPB is planning to kick off construction work at Ravensthorpe and Yabulu by the end of this calendar year (CY).
During a teleconference today Pointon provided an operating cost estimate for the projected 50,000tpa of Ravensthorpe nickel to come out of Yabulu of about US$1.20-$1.30/lb, which is better than that of low-cost Cerro Matoso.
"Ravensthorpe will establish Yabulu as a true low-cost refinery and BHPB as one of the top global nickel producers in terms of volume and, more importantly, cost," he said.
