Ravenswood Mining Landscape and Chinese Settlement Area, Former gold mining site and Chinese settlement in Ravenswood, Australia.

The Ravenswood mining landscape contains the remains of roughly twelve mines, mills, and processing plants scattered across a large area. The site is marked by waste heaps and industrial structures that show how intensively the land was worked.

Alluvial gold was found in 1868 in tributaries of Connolly Creek on Merri Merriwa Station, and the General Grant and Sunset reefs were located in 1869. Ravenswood became the fifth largest gold producer in Queensland. Mining passed through shallow reef work, sulphide ore attempts, the New Ravenswood Company era of 1899 to 1917, and small-scale re-treatment until the 1960s.

The Chinese community lived along Deighton Street and Elphinstone Creek from the 1870s into the early 20th century, spanning the goldfield's first three mining periods. Its members helped keep the isolated settlement viable. The area is now an archaeological site, so what survives is ground evidence of the settlement rather than standing buildings.

The reserve lies south of Elphinstone Creek, west of School and Kerr Streets, bounded by Cemetery Road, Railway Street and Burdekin Falls Dam Road, about 85 km south of Townsville. Surface structures survive from eight mines, including the Deep mine mill and the Mabel Mill tailings plant. Ground is uneven and unshaded; carry water and sun protection.

Chinese settlers grew vegetable gardens along a nearby creek, combining food production with mining operations. These gardens were particularly active during the peak years between 1900 and 1908, showing how the community sustained itself.
