Callan Park Mental Hospital

In keeping with my fascination for abandoned buildings, orphanages and asylums I visited the Callan Park location.

 "............... The facility formerly known as Callan Park Hospital for the Insane (1878 to 1914) is located in the grounds of Callan Park, an area on the shores of Iron Cove in the Sydney suburb of Lilyfield in Australia. In 1915 the facility was renamed Callan Park Mental Hospital and again in 1976 to Callan Park Hospital. Since 1994, the facility has been formally known as Rozelle Hospital. In April 2008, all Rozelle Hospital services and patients were transferred to Concord Hospital. The Callan Park (Special Provisions) Act 2002 restricts future uses to health and education but the New South Wales Government has not revealed its intentions for the site. The former facility is now occupied by Sydney College of the Arts, the fine arts campus of Sydney University........." Gary Burton
