Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Hopetoun is a town on the south coast of Western Australia in the Shire of Ravensthorpe. Located on Mary Ann Haven, Hopetoun is some 590 kilometres (370 mi) south-east from capital city Perth and 160 kilometres (99 mi) west of Esperance. Hopetoun was established in 1900 as a coastal town servicing the Phillips River Mining District, and named after the 7th Earl of Hopetoun and first Governor General of Australia, John Hope. The townsite was gazetted on 9 February 1901. It was a terminus of one of Western Australian Government Railways' isolated branch lines between Hopetoun and Ravensthorpe, and became a shipping port for the mining industry, with a jetty built in 1901. The railway closed in 1925 and the port closed in 1936, with the jetty remaining until its destruction in 1983.
