Beechworth Ghost Tours
Beechworth is known for its amazing stories and rich colonial history. Join our local guide to lead you on the Beechworth Ghost Tour through the halls and secrets of the former Mayday Hills Lunatic Asylum in the grounds of La Trobe University at Beechworth.

 

As the dusk settles overlooking the township of Beechworth you will be led through the the distant and deserted buildings of what once was one of the three major asylums in Victoria. 'The Beechworth Lunatic Asylum'as it was originally named operated from 1867, the height of the Victorian gold rush, til 1995 when it closed it doors as an asylum.

Your tour will go deep into the heart of the old hospital where you will experience the mysteries sealed away for over thirty years, discover what it was like living and working in the institution during the 1860's. Hear the stories, tales and myths that have lead to the tour.

 

The Beechworth Ghost Tour is suitable for all levels of fitness. There is some uneven ground and stairs during the tour and comfortable footwear is recommended. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
