Sydney - Manly - Quarantine Station

In the Sydney Harbour National Park on North Head, above Spring Cove, the former quarantine station is located. From here you can enjoy the stunning view over Middle Harbour and Manly Cove. From 1832 until the 1960s ships together with the crews were quarantined here. The Sydneysiders should be protected against deseases like pox, pest, influenza and typhus. Today the quarantine station which consists of a hospital and a moruary, the desinfection showers and many other buildings, is a museum. It can be visited daily.

There are also night tours which try to prove that this place is still haunted by evil ghosts.
