First of all, an apology. Due to a number of circumstances, we did not publish our statistical report as at 30 Sep 2025. So this report covers our progress for the two months since 31 August 2025.
As previously announced during the month of October, we reach the major milestone of 100,000 records captured by our team. Congratulations to all project team members for a magnificent effort.
The total records captured up to 31 October 2025 is 103,384. During the past two months, about 30 communities have been added to the list of those communities who have any records captured. These new communities are highlighted in the list below.
As at 31 Oct 2025, our Master List shows we have identified 617 ghost towns, plus 833 alternative names relating to 396 of the 617 towns. Our task means that we research and record people associated with all 1,450 of those town names.
Our project team are working hard to capture as many records as possible of the people in WA’s ghost communities. Once our website and search engine is fully operational you will be able to access some of these records. Here are the latest figures followed by a simple line graph showing the growth in total numbers:
