Paint peels from every surface in thick, curling sheets. The ceiling sags where plaster has collapsed, exposing dark timber laths above. Four doorways open off the room, each leading deeper into the ward. A small square hatch sits cut into the left wall. Flakes and debris cover the concrete floor. Light enters from a far window, catching the pale dust.

The series
Callan Park
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.
