    Boggo Road Gaol (H.M. Prison Brisbane), located in Dutton Park, Brisbane, was Queensland's main penal institution from 1883 until its closure in 1992. Notorious for harsh living conditions, solitary confinement, inmate riots, and 42 legal executions, the surviving heritage-listed No. 2 Division building is considered one of Australia's most formidable and intensely haunted historical gaols. Visitors and former prison officers report frequent encounters with spectral inmates, phantom footsteps, cell doors slamming shut, and the menacing spirit of executed murderer Ernest Austin.

    The Breakfast Creek Hotel, built in 1889 by former Brisbane Lord Mayor William MacNaughton Allen, is one of Australia's most famous and iconic Victorian-era pubs. Located in the inner-north suburb of Albion overlooking Breakfast Creek, this French Renaissance-style grand hotel is renowned for its steakhouse dining, wood-barrel draught beer, and deep political history. It is equally famous as one of Queensland's most haunted commercial buildings, haunted by the restless ghost of its original builder, who tragically fell to his death from a upper window in 1895.
