BEECHWORTH MAYDAY HILLS LUNATIC ASYLUM, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA

I did a recent trip to Victoria and visited the historic Beechworth Mayday Hills Lunatic Asylum.

The buildings and grounds are incredible, and I could not put my camera down.

One window was ajar, and when I opened it to look inside, a bitter cold gust of air came out and hit me in the face! Creepy and intriguing!
