"Once home to South Australia’s criminally insane patients, Glenside Hospital, formerly known as the Parkside Lunatic Asylum, amongst others, was designed in the mid-19th century by EJ Woods. Completed in 1885, it served as a psychiatric hospital until the 1970s when it was largely abandoned. Now, the hospital’s infamous Z Ward – where the criminally and mentally insane were held – is open to the public, running both day tours and ghost tours that tell the stories of the inmates and this fascinatingly dark side of colonial history."

"It may be Autumn but that doesn’t mean that we can’t still enjoy the beach. Improve your trip to Brighton Beach by grabbing a baked good or two at Brighton Jetty Bakery, enjoy the waves lapping at your toes and complain that the water isn’t as warm as it was three weeks ago. At least your gluten free sausage roll is warm."
