New Norfolk is a lovely town 40 minutes upsteam on the Derwent River from Hobart. Autumn is the loveliest time to visit. |
Poplars are very popular here. |
New Norfolk has a precinct called Willow Court which was an old insane asylum. Information about it can be found here and here. This large soldier was standing guard in a window of the administration block. |
I wonder if this bus was used to take inmates out on excursions. |
This is a door that was probably used in one of the cells. It was about 10cm thick. |
Part of an old wagon wheel. |
I spotted this hanging in one of the windows. |
Someone has left their mark, perhaps about the way the people were treated here. |
