As night falls upon Beechworth you will be led though the cold and deserted buildings of the former Mayday Hills Lunatic Asylum.

As you explore the most intact 19th century maniacal wards in Australia we will share with you spine tingling stories of 9000 deaths inside the building. This two hour tour will take you back to a time to when the building housed 1500 patients that were destined to spend eternity within the walls.

From the main roundabout in Beechworth head south east on Camp Street, Continue onto Albert Road and follow to the very end. You will run directly into the grounds of the asylum. Please follow the signs around for the ghost tours to where to meet.
