A narrow corridor, concrete walls streaked with damp. A pale green door hangs open at an angle, blocking most of the passage. Dark mould covers the floor in thick, uneven patches. Beyond the door, a second timber door stands ajar. A red exit sign glows faintly near the ceiling. Thin bands of light fall across the left wall from an unseen source. The air looks heavy, close. This facility operated as a psychiatric institution in New South Wales for over a century. Patients lived in locked wards behind heavy doors and along corridors like this one. The complex closed in the early 1990s. Several buildings have stood empty since, deteriorating behind perimeter fencing.
