A bare room stripped to its bones. Cream-painted timber panelling lines the walls, stained and peeling at the lower edges. An open wardrobe stands empty, its shelves holding nothing. A cast-iron radiator sits below frosted windows tagged with yellow graffiti. The concrete floor is black with mould and moisture damage, old tile lines still faintly visible beneath the grime. Weak daylight pushes through dirty glass. The Queen Victoria Sanatorium opened in 1901 on the cooler elevations of Mount Victoria in the Blue Mountains. It treated tuberculosis patients at a time when fresh mountain air was considered the primary cure. The facility closed in 1959 and has sat vacant since, deteriorating through decades of weather and neglect.
