Old and high in the Californian Sierra Nevada, Bodie is an incredible ghost town. Once one of the largest cities in the state, time has now stopped here. It is the perfect place to witness the past and the lingering after‑effect of the gold rush.

Witness of the past, still standing. Once welcoming the people of one of California’s largest towns, it is now a place where your imagination can wander freely.

“Commissioned by Governor Lachlan Macquarie and built with convict labour, Hyde Park Barracks was the first convict barracks in the colony. Previously, convicts had been allowed to find their own accommodation, but by housing them in a barracks Macquarie hoped to increase their productivity and improve their moral character. The three-storey building with massive shingled roof and a simple yet striking façade was designed by convict architect Francis Greenway. So impressed was Macquarie with this design that he granted Greenway a full pardon”. – Museums of History NSW
