I wonder if the Old Melbourne Gaol does camp-ins, as it would be a MOST spooky
place to spend the night, especially with the actual gallows at one end of the
gallery, all the death masks in the various cells on the ground floor, one of
Ned Kelly's suits of armour, etc., - and the staff are firmly convinced that it
IS haunted.

An interesting overnight experience can be found at Sydney, NSW's Hyde Park
Barracks, the old convict barracks which is one of the oldest buildings in
Australia. It is directed at adults, who spend a night in a hammock in one of
the old dormitories, where they are locked in for the night, fed a typical
convict/settler's breakfast the next morning and then marched down to the
harbour for a sail round the harbour. If ever a building ought to be haunted,
it's this one! It's operated by NSW Historic Houses Trust, which operates a
number of other fascinating properties and museums in the state.
