Old Ravensthorpe Cemetery

USED 1901 TO 1919 

 

 

Ravensthorpe is situated on the South Coast Highway. 532 km southeast of Perth. The old cemetery is out of town, taking Starr Street, then left on a gravel road.

 

 Transcribed 20^th June 2003 by Jill Bickmore, Carol & Phillip Riley.

 

Very few headstones remain and they are mostly in bad condition.  The cemetery was set out in one long line going downhill.  A large brass plaque has been erected with the names of the occupants listed under year only. I have left them in the order of the plaque and dates etc. that can be read have been added to this list.

# denotes those with headstone.

* denotes names listed without dates that do appear to have a grave & dates.
