My great Grandmother was a patient here - she was there for 30 years and died there. Thank you for this video - im from the UK so its really interesting to see x
I went there at night a few months ago & it seemed as though some buildings were in use at least at night anyway. There were quite a few cars around the property & people coming & going in & out of the buildings. The grounds were lit up fairly well for night time. We were surprised how active it was, we thought it was all empty & not being used. I did see a ghost though, well that's the only explanation I got for seeing this man smoking a cigarette standing right beside me next to old stairs leading to a little car park I think it was when he wasn't there a few seconds earlier & then when I turned to look properly he was gone. It is beautiful grounds & buildings despite the horrors that took place there.
Thanks for the comment! Yes I noticed some of the buildings were still in use, though they seemed to be mostly the newer buildings. They were doing restoration work on the older ones though, so hopefully they will be accessible again soon. That's a spooky story about the ghost! I do believe in ghosts. I felt occasionally as though I was being watched through the windows. Going at night must have been especially interesting :)
Kindred Genealogy we didn't do the tour u did though. We just looked around on our own & didn't get out of the car much. I'd love to do the tour u did though to have a really good look around & learn more about it.
@@catherine8579 I booked it through the Royal Australian Historical Society www.rahs.org.au/ it was great as the guide had a lot of knowledge about the history of the site :)
Yes quite a few of the buildings are used as the office space for various disability services, there is even a SES branch there
Yes certainly not abandoned, There's houses with residence still there, also some limited mental health facilities still in operation.
are there any abandoned areas to explore there at all? i was planning to visit it tomorrow
@@staceysirotin04 HI yeah there's a few facades and plenty of places and property's there. I've been doing some filming in there for a music video I'll include a link when it's finished
Kristian Kriesel awesome thanks!!
@@staceysirotin04 Try entering from the bottom of Warf Rd instead of Victoria rd for a less explored part of the park
@@kriz716, I've seen some facades/ruins that I immediately thought would make a great movie set.
This place is huge. It would house all the homeless in Sydney. Problem solved.
I agree. It's a terrible waste just letting it sit there deteriorating...
Thanks for the video. Are all the windows also boarded up? Is it worth going there to take photos through the glass? I'm looking for interesting/different places to take photos in Sydney. There's a limit to the number of times I want to go to Darling harbour and the beaches.
This video was from a few years ago so it might be different now. Back then I couldn't look through the windows. It's a great spot for photos though ❤
Thanks, I'll give it a go and will let you know. I read somewhere that inside tours were no longer running because of an issue with Dept of Health's ownership of the intellectual rights. Anyway I understand the grounds are not locked.
@@p-the-v Yeah I really wanted to go inside!!
Great video. Gosh I’d love to see this. Such great workmanship the old buildings are . TFS .
I’m visiting tonight. Will have to find a way in. I love doing creepy adventuring. My profile pic is of me exploring the Suicide Forrest in Japan at night. I have quite a few unexplainable scary experiences despite the fact t I’m a hard skeptic.
Wow, enjoy! It looked hard to get into the buildings but the grounds are pretty open. I'd love to go at night!! Let me know how it goes. I'm sure there are ghosts there...
@@VanessaBland So I visited and started the exploration in the evening while it was still light and into the night. I looked everywhere for a way into the buildings but it's really well barricaded. I got entrance into one tiny area with nothing in it where the door had a hole. That was it. Disappointing.
@@damnedcarrot That's a shame. Hopefully once they've finished the restoration work people will be able to get inside.
It's not really Spooky it has a peaceful vibe which is weird because of the 1200 unmarked graves there. Probably the safest place at the moment with the Corona virus running rampant. I live just 5min walk away and since the pandemic have been using the place for my daily walk. Much prefer the Ghosts than people coughing on me on the Bus
Fuck that was creepy to see again.
It one of those places. Nice place for a visit. You wouldn't want to stay there.
Spent a week in there many year's ago now. Scary stuff used to go on at night. Even in the Selfadmin ward's. I was a selfad that was it was a week. I don't think that I could visit it now. To many memories of treble incidents. Ghosts there's a few. Lol.
Ohh wow thank you for the comment xx
Last year we went there and took pics not allowed had to removed it 😥
Oh no! That's awful! I wonder why. It's such a great place to explore.
I can't believe all those air conditioning units and office furniture was left to rot. They could have been sold. Government waste.
Went there today it’s very disappointing if looking to explore can’t get in any of the buildings and they still use it for a mental health facility
They use some of the buildings still but most are empty. I really wanted to go inside too, would be very cool to explore!!
@@VanessaBland know any good places to explore?
@@matthewhano5802 The two on my wishlist are Callan Park, and the tunnels under Central Station. Hopefully I'll get to check them out one day :) I have enjoyed the abandoned WW2 buildings at Malabar Headland in the past.
@@VanessaBland don’t bother with Callan park went there yesterday after I went to Gladesville and the cops were chasing me within minutes they have way more cameras there and have everything boarded up there’s no way into any of the buildings not worth getting chased by cops and security but yeah I’ll have to check out the ones you mentioned
@@matthewhano5802 Oh no! That sucks. What a waste just having it all locked up...
At least the security was nice to me but deadset there’s cameras on poles every where not worth going to drove an hour and a half, it’s only good if you wanna go for a little walk around that’s it don’t bother
