    Bungarribee Homestead Site

    DoonsideAustralia1822–1957

    Bungarribee Homestead Site, located within Western Sydney Parklands in Doonside, is a historically significant archaeological heritage reserve that once housed an iconic 1820s two-storey colonial estate. Built by Major John Campbell in 1822, the mansion possessed a unique brick tower and steep verandas. Despite the physical house being demolished in 1957 by the state government, its reputation as one of Western Sydney's most haunted places has persisted in print since 1938. Visitors to the open parklands report spectral shadow figures, unexplainable cold breezes near the original house footprint, and the lingering, tragic ghost of a colonial woman.

    Castle Blackstone

    BlackstoneAustralia1889–1930s

    Castle Blackstone, historically named Brynhyfryd, was a magnificent 49-room Victorian mansion built in 1889 atop Blackstone Hill in Ipswich, Queensland. Constructed for wealthy Welsh coal mining magnate Lewis Thomas, the palatial estate boasted an hydraulic passenger elevator, billiard rooms, and electric lighting. Demolished in the 1930s after Thomas's death, the hilltop now retains scattered brick foundations, terraced gardens, and mountain bike trails. It is celebrated across local Ipswich folklore for tales of phantom footsteps, disembodied organ music, and shadowy figures wandering the ruined grounds.

    Dreamworld, located in Coomera on Queensland's Gold Coast, is Australia's largest theme park.

    Farina Ghost Town

    FarinaAustralia1878–1980s

    Farina is an eerie outback ghost town situated at the edge of the Strzelecki Desert along the historic Oodnadatta Track in South Australia. Surveyed in 1876 under the name 'Government Gums' and later renamed Farina (Latin for flour) in the optimistic hope of becoming a major wheat-growing hub, the town succumbed to severe drought, dust storms, and economic isolation. Today, the extensive stone ruins, historic desert cemetery, and restored underground bakery evoke a haunted atmosphere filled with tales of early pioneers, Afghan camel drivers, and restless spirits of the outback.

    Fremantle Round House

    FremantleAustralia1831–present

    The Fremantle Round House, situated atop Arthur Head in Fremantle, Western Australia, is the oldest surviving public building in the state. Opened in January 1831 just eighteen months after the establishment of the Swan River Colony, the twelve-sided stone building originally served as a colonial gaol and execution site. Throughout its long history, it housed colonial convicts, local offenders, and Aboriginal prisoners awaiting transport to Rottnest Island. Renowned for its dramatic ocean views and historic 1:00 PM cannon firing, the site is also steeped in dark history and paranormal legends surrounding early colonial executions and lingering spirits.
