Melbourne harbours many secrets, but few as chilling and intriguing as the abandoned Quarantine Station at Point Nepean National Park, now the spine-tingling setting for Eerie Tours. Led by history scholar Nathaniel Buchanan, these tours offer a unique blend of education, adventure, and ghostly tales.

A Haunting Journey Through Time

The Quarantine Station, operational from the 1800s, witnessed unspeakable suffering and death as it housed those afflicted with deadly diseases. Today, Eerie Tours invites the brave-hearted to explore this historic site under the eerie glow of lantern light, starting at 9 pm.

Guided by the knowledgeable Nathaniel, visitors traverse the dimly lit pathways and buildings, each step echoing with stories of the past. The tour is an atmospheric blend of fact and fiction, where harrowing accounts of pestilence and tragedy are interspersed with tales of ghostly encounters.

More Than Just a Ghost Tour 

What sets Eerie Tours apart is its commitment to historical accuracy and storytelling excellence. Nathaniel’s expertise brings the Quarantine Station’s colourful yet tragic past to life, offering insights unknown to many locals, let alone visitors from afar.

Our recent walk with Nathaniel was a revelation. The suspense and intrigue of the stories, coupled with the stunning Victorian architecture, created an unforgettable experience. And while we can’t confirm any supernatural encounters, the unexplained draining of our camera batteries and the occasional hair-raising chill added to the tour’s mystique.

Preserving History Through Public Interest

Eerie Tours does more than entertain; it plays a crucial role in preserving history. As Nathaniel explains, public interest in these historic sites can save them from obscurity and disrepair. The old Quarantine Station, an underutilised asset at risk of fading away, now gets the attention it deserves, educating visitors about a significant chapter in Australia’s history.

A Night of Enthralling Education

The 90-minute tour flew by, leaving us yearning for more. The gentle stroll through the Quarantine Station wasn’t just a ghost hunt but a journey through time, an evening of learning shrouded in mystery.

Eerie Tours stands as a testament to the region’s rich history, challenging our perceptions and offering a night out that is as informative as it is entertaining. In a world where Europe’s history often overshadows our own, Eerie Tours is a step towards uncovering and celebrating our local legends and lore.

Join Eerie Tours for an experience that transcends the ordinary – a perfect blend of history, mystery, and maritime air. It’s a journey we’re eager to embark on again, uncovering more layers of Point Nepean’s enigmatic past.
