Gone to dust


"Interesting site. My great-grandmother died in this asylum in 1907 of dementia and general paralysis whatever that was ! Seems hard to imagine they would just walk off and leave patient records to go to dust. You don't say what your interest was in visiting the place but I am glad you did."

Cheers, David Kilner, Adelaide, South Australia.
