Spirts of the Past The site is widely regarded as one of Australia's most chilling and haunted locations, with numerous reports of paranormal activity linked to its long and dark history of patient abuse and mistreatment. The site, which opened in 1865, contains a few abandoned and decaying old buildings along with some restored ones. Alleged Spiritual Activity Urban explorers, paranormal investigators and curious visitors, as well as the site administrators of this page who have visited abandoned sections of the hospital complex, have reported eerie experiences, often attributed to the lingering spirits of former patients and staff. Reports include: Hearing disembodied voices and footsteps in parts of the facility where the floorboards no longer exist. The sensation of being grabbed on the shoulders or feeling unexplained physical contact. A general feeling of dread and a sense that something "quite evil" lurks within the walls. The history of the hospital provides a sombre context for these beliefs, including: Widespread abuse: Allegations of sexual assault, beatings, chemical restraint, and neglect from the 1950s to the 1980s have been widely reported. Unmarked graves: Hundreds, potentially thousands, of patients who died at the asylum were buried in unmarked graves in 3 cemeteries located across the complex, with many remains later moved to Goodna, adding to the sense of restless spirits. Wrongful confinement: Many patients, including children who were wards of the state, were wrongfully placed in adult mental health facilities despite not having committed a crime or necessarily having a mental illness, and enduring significant trauma. Some experiences are documented by witness accounts Reports from some current staff indicate that Dawson House is haunted by various noises, including the internal lift moving and operating independently. The remains of unknown blood are located in the Morgue fridges. The spirit dressed in white who has been seen wandering the former female division's surroundings. A male spirit who has been seen sitting in the recreation hall appears to be facing the stage, and seems to be waiting for something to start on stage. The "red-eyed " spirit stares in the dark in the hallway of the former male division building. A spirit by the name of "Eliza " who appears to be living within Old Women's 1 & 2, who is very interactive but only towards females, but does make herself known to males by making sounds within the building. A friendly young female who giggles and skips on the rear ground-floor verandah of Old Women's 1 & 2, who is interactive for a short time, notes how she died, and even says goodbye. A male spirit located within Old Women's 1 & 2, the western lower section, who whispers in your ear, "Help me, I'm trapped" . Another unknown spirit located within Old Women's 1 & 2, who whispers in your ear, "Help Her" . A group of unknown spirits has been observed walking together on Ellerton Drive near Boyce Road. Please Note: As researchers documenting the history of this complex, we want to make it clear that we are NOT paranormal investigators, nor are we experienced in this field, despite claims made by the paranormal community who want access to this site for their own benefits. For the public, we discourage attempts to access the site or interact with certain spirits, as they possess serious negative energies. If you decide to do it, it's at your own risk

Despite this, the Mental Hygiene Act 1938 (Qld) maintained the custodial and institutional model of nineteenth-century asylums, with broad powers for involuntary detention and no legislated patient rights to be informed of or participate in their treatment plans, or to advocate for their own review or discharge. The Mental Health Act 1962 (Qld) The Mental Health Act 1962 (Qld) saw the commencement of government directions to shift psychiatric services into general hospitals, aiming to focus treatment outcomes on rehabilitation and limit the need for admissions in an isolated asylum setting. Mental Health Act 1974 (Qld) The Mental Health Act 1974 (Qld) shifted language describing people with a mental illness from ‘inmate’ to ‘patient’. A subsequent amendment in 1983 saw the establishment of the Mental Health Tribunal to assess fitness for trial or detainment under involuntary orders. Although the Mental Health Act 1974 (Qld) aimed to modernise terminology and practice, it did not yet provide a statutory definition of mental illness (that was introduced later in the Mental Health Act 2000 (Qld) following the closure of Wolston Park Hospital), or fully provision institutions and treating teams to value patient consent in decision making about their own treatment and/or confinement. Mental Health Act 2000 (Qld) The purpose of this Act is to provide for the involuntary assessment and treatment, and the protection, of persons (whether adults or minors) who have mental illnesses, while at the same time safeguarding their rights and freedoms and balancing their rights and freedoms with the rights and freedoms of other persons Treatments and Medications: Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is a medical treatment that rapidly relieves symptoms of severe psychiatric disorders. ECT involves the delivery of a small, pulsed electrical current to the brain sufficient to induce a seizure for therapeutic purposes. ECT is performed whilst the person undergoing treatment is under general anaesthesia. Insulin Coma Therapy Insulin coma therapy, or insulin shock therapy, is a historical (circa 1930s-1950s) psychiatric treatment used to treat severe mental illness by delivering large doses of insulin to patients to induce a coma. The practice was phased out of mental health treatment plans following the introduction of antipsychotic medications beginning in the 1950s. PRN PRN, or pro ne nata (Latin for ‘in the circumstances’), medications are medications that are administered to manage symptoms as determined by an individual’s assessment of a situation, as opposed to a prescribed schedule. This does not typically mean that a medication is administered to exceed a prescribed daily amount, but rather that it is to be administered only if needed. The administration of PRN medications is required to be monitored, recorded and reviewed by the treating team to ensure that it remains appropriate. Psychotropic medications Multiple psychotropic medications are referenced by either generic or trade names throughout this report. They include the following, with generic medication name first, with the trade names in brackets and capitals: • haloperidol, • chlorpromazine (Largactil or Thorazine), • paraldehyde, • promazine. Psychotropic medications such as these medications have been used in the treatment of mental illnesses. Promazine and paraldehyde have not been used routinely since the 1970s. Since the advent of newer antipsychotic medications in the late 1990s, the use of chlorpromazine and haloperidol has become less common. They are now used only rarely and in particular situations, including when medications with a lower side-effect burden are not effective. Restraint Restraint refers to practices used as an intervention considered justifiable to protect the safety of patients and/or staff. It may refer to: • physical restraints (e.g. limitations of movement such as holding a patient by the body), • mechanical restraints (e.g. limitations of mobility such as restraining a patient to a bed or chair), • chemical restraints (e.g. the use of PRN psychotropic medications. Note that the use of medications within historical and current mental health services is considered as treatment within an acute scenario as opposed to a mechanism of restraint, or • environmental restraints (e.g. locked wards, isolation rooms or restrictions of movement between areas). Seclusion Seclusion refers to the practice of isolating a patient in a room or area that they cannot leave. It is intended to be used in extreme circumstances only as a measure to prevent serious harm to the patient or others.

Residential Area The residential area was located at the end of the main drive in an elevated position. It comprised several residences that overlooked the golf course. A majority of the residences have been erected in this area since 1960, but three were erected before 1920. The first building in this area was the former medical superintendent's residence. It was erected in 1898 following damage to the existing residence, which was situated near the original male wards. It is the most substantial residence on the site, befitting the status of the medical superintendent. It was built of brick with terra cotta tiles and comprised spacious rooms and verandahs. The grounds were landscaped over a period of time, creating a distinctly private area for the medical superintendent and his family. The former assistant medical superintendent's residence was erected in 1912 following a fire in the existing building. The new structure was of timber, and the planning was typical of a large Queensland residence but less substantial than the medical superintendent's residence. Both residences have been altered and extended, but still clearly retain their residential function and character. Residence D is the only other early residence in the area. It is not as substantial as the others and is of minor significance in demonstrating the range of accommodation that was provided for staff. More to come soon Click to view

Ellerton House Opened in the 1960s An eye-catching building, it is named in honour of former inspector and medical superintendent Dr Henry Ellerton. Opened in the 1960s, Ellerton House was used to care for patients with psychogeriatric and dementia conditions. It was decommissioned by the time of the broader Wolston Park Hospital closure in 2000 and later demolished. More to come soon

Opened as the Woogaroo Asylum on 10 January 1865. On 12 January, seven prison warders (two women) and ten police constables escorted 57 male and 12 female inmates from Brisbane Gaol to Woogaroo, travelling by river. History Aslyum Mental Health Established in 1865 The Woogaroo Lunatic Asylum was Queensland's first public health institution, located on the banks of the Brisbane River near Goodna on Tuesday, January 10, 1865. A Border Police Station was previously located on the site, serving as a vital outpost for protecting the interests of the growing community. Over the years, the surrounding landscape became home to many of the State's major institutional facilities, including prisons, an army barracks, and a migration hostel. On Tuesday the 10th January of 1865, under the supervision of warder, John Phillips seven prison warders (two of them women) along with ten police constables escorted 57 male and 12 female patients, female patients were under the charge of two female warders were moved from the Brisbane Gaol to the newly built asylum at Woogaroo since 1859, Queensland patients had no longer been sent to Sydney. Still, they were lodged instead at the Brisbane Gaol. When the asylum was ready, patients were loaded into cabs and taken down to the Brisbane River, where they boarded a steamer named "Settler". They were conveyed down the Brisbane River to the landing point just before Woogaroo Creek. Embarkation was successfully managed, with 57 males and 12 females safely lodged in their new quarters. Patients were accommodated in a two-storey brick building, initially intended as the administration block. Male patients were accommodated on the first floor and on part of the ground floor, while female patients occupied the remainder of the ground floor. A tall timber fence surrounded the building, and timber outbuildings accommodated a kitch en, bathroom and staff areas. Dr Kersey Cannan was appointed as Superintendent, and A residence was constructed for him on-site, northeast of the main asylum buildings. Indigenous people would be among the earliest inhabitants of the asylum, but not in significant numbers. Instead, the institution was rapidly populated from its earliest days by immigrant settlers, who made up the majority of the colony’s growing population. At least 45 of the 57 males first brought to the new asylum were still there two years later, when an inquiry was held. Immigrants had come from many countries, contributing to the colonial population, particularly from Ireland, England, Germany, Scotland, and China. The first buildings consisted of a male division, erected near the creek, and a female division, located further up the hill. The superintendent's quarters stood between them; due to recurring floods, additional buildings were erected further up the hill, where the current complex is located today. Over the years, the complex has also comprised several public health institutions, several of which have now been decommissioned. Over the course of its history, it has housed a diverse cohort of patients, including those with psychiatric illnesses, intellectual disabilities, acquired brain injuries, psychogeriatric conditions, neurological disorders, and substance use disorders. The site of the original asylum today serves as the Wolston Park golf club & course. The Asylum has long been a dominant institution in the region and has recently undergone significant change. Over the years, sections and services have been closed, and buildings have been handed over to other government departments and service organisations. FOR YOUR SAFETY If you intend to visit for a look, for your safety and others, please DO NOT go past the black fence or signs posted around the boundary of the hospital. May the younger generation not only learn about its sad past but also the importance it plays in Queensland's History, dating back to the 1800s “The only thing new in the world is the history you do not know.” Always Remembered 1865 ~ 2025

Shane Barnes MAIES I tribute this site to my daughter Angel May Barnes 21/05/2019 For nearly 28 years, I have lived across from Woogaroo Creek, near the site of the original Asylum. My interest in history dates back to my senior primary school days at Camp Hill, and it continued at Redbank Plains & Bundamba high schools, where I took an interest in politics and local history/geography. I have always enjoyed learning about history, collecting and purchasing historical items, and donating them to museum collections. As a young kid in the late 90s the stories of Wolston Park were the stuff of legends with old women's always known being the haunted house, I remember North Dam being fully fenced and jumping over the fence to retrieve golf balls and then cleaning them and sell for a $1 and going to buy soft drinks from the Royal Mail Hotel, The staff sitting outside McDonnell house having a cigarette, The patients help cleaning the Wolston Park Golf Club outdoor dining area when it was located up in the complex, to exploring the empty chapels. After so many years of forgetting about this complex 2019 was very difficult for me and always needed a quiet place to reflect and follow on over the years seeing the buildings and the odd, fascinating piece of history myself and Nathan began the Facebook group "There Was Once an Asylum" when we started the search was on to find everything related to the complex historically wise. The years of studying this complex and its surroundings have been a fascinating journey of learning, but in the later years, learning about the patients of the complex has been the most personally difficult. I want to thank those who support the group and, at times, have even stepped up to protect it, as they know it has a significant history not only for Queensland but also on a human level. With the recent review called by the Queensland Government, I hope this will be the final review regarding this complex, which has been scrutinised since its first inquiry in 1867. I was recently asked what I would like to see. I have a few projects in mind: A Memorial Garden located between the original and current site FREE History walking tours on the original site, and showcasing the older buildings on the current site from a safe, legal distance. Each Cemetery Site is to have a form of identification and honour, as remains may still be present. Apart from studying this site in my spare time, I am doing a fair bit out of Goodna. I am the founder of the emergency radio communications group SEQUEST South East Queensland UHF Emergency Service Team. In 2016, Shane was awarded the City of Ipswich Medallion in recognition of my valuable contributions to the Ipswich community. In 2019, Shanereceived the Queensland Emergency Service Volunteer Pin from the Queensland Government and assisted with its design on the Emergency Volunteer Advisory Forum. Certificate of Appreciation for 5 years of loyal and valued service to the community through Marine Rescue Brisbane as a radio and rescue crew member. Former QLD/NT Division committee member and member of the Australasian Institute of Emergency Services (AIES) and Australian Radio Communications Industry Association (ARCIA), and currently serving on the Eastern Suburbs Rugby League Past Players and Officials Association as assistant secretary.

Gladstone House, Jenner House, & Kelsey House All were built in 1936 Gladstone House (Ward 6), Jenner House (Ward 7), and Kelsey House (Ward 8) are three highly intact single-storey brick buildings with an unusual "crab" design and replaced earlier timber wards that were considered fire hazards and difficult to keep clean. The drawings were prepared by EA Godfrey. Construction commenced in August 1934 and was completed the following year, and was officially opened on 20 February by Sir Leslie Wilson. As part of the ceremony, the Director General of Health and Medical Services, Raphael Cilento, paid tribute to Superintendent Dr Ellerton, declaring these wards were "his prime". All three wards had large central dining rooms with single rooms with a large dormitory. Kelsey was slightly different in its planning to the other two wards in regards to its dormitories. In 2020, they are vacant and had most of the later fabric removed. Gladstone House is named after the famous parliamentarian William Ewart Gladstone. Jenner House is named after the famous physician Edward Jenner, who pioneered the concept of vaccines and created the smallpox vaccine, and discovered the value of inoculation with cow pox as a preventative measure against smallpox. Kelsey House is named after well-loved matron Elsie Kelsey, who worked at the hospital from 1925 and became assistant matron in 1941. She retired in 1967 Gladstone House Chronology 1936: Building construction was completed 1966: alterations for bathrooms 1973: fire sprinkler system installed 1980: renovations to bathrooms, roof lantern enclosed with new ceilings Jenner House Chronology 1936: Building construction was completed 1973: fire sprinkler system installed 1980: renovations to bathrooms Jenner House Chronology 1936: Building construction was completed 1981: remodelling and upgrading of bathrooms 1984: upgrading of bathrooms 1934 Plan Click to view opening of the three houses its believed that this is Gladstone House in the picture Click to view Sir Leslie Wilson opening the wards Click to view 1936 interior Click to view Kelsey House Click to view Jenner House Click to view Gladston House Click to view Gladstone side Click to view Jenner front Click to view Former gates that gave access the three houses Click to view Former gates that gave access the three houses Click to view Former gate buzzer that gave access the three houses Click to view Gladstone house street sign Click to view Gladstone house street sign Click to view Click to view All three house are exactly the same Click to view All three house are exactly the same Click to view All three house are exactly the same Click to view All three house are exactly the same Click to view All three house are exactly the same Click to view Gladstone house Click to view Jenner House Click to view Jenner House Click to view Jenner House Click to view Kelsey House Click to view
