The series

Callan Park

2016–2018 · 93 photographs

Dr Frederic Norton Manning rejected the asylum as 'a cemetery for deceased intellects'. In 1876 he toured asylums in England, France, Germany and the United States, returning with drawings of Chartham Down Hospital in Kent. Working with Colonial Architect James Barnet and Botanic Gardens director Charles Moore, he built Australia's first hospital purpose-built for moral therapy treatment on the Iron Cove foreshore.
