The following overlays are of Ravensworth Homestead in the Hunter region, showing the location of the early Homestead and extant buildings, nearby creek, roads and evidence of other possible structures.
We have assembled some aerial photographs, maps and plan overlays on Google earth, and specifically enlarged the section of Ravensworth Homestead to find out what actual structure(s) appeared in the vicinity. The overlays of the mapping have been created in Google Earth. Download the 267MB file
