Still at Ararat

Weve been in Ararat nearly 2 months now .1 week to go
Did a walk through the Grampians this shot looking down to Halls Gap

Visited Aradale Asylum which has been closed for many years.
the guided tour takes 2 hours and most informative

The top of this tower housed the huge water tanks which supplied the entire complex and boilers with water.
Steam was piped around the complex for heating and steam for the kitchens huge cookers.

The main hall was used for special events,dining for the trusted inmates,movie nights etc.

Coffee dogs
Main enterance to Aradale.
A Chinese guy offered to buy it and turn it into a casino and enlarge the local airport
to take commercial jets but Kennet wouldnt allow it
