This place immediately sparked my interest, an overgrown abandoned miniature replica of the famous Schloss Neuschwanstein in Bavaria just sitting there. It is part of the old Castle Fun Park in Halls Head, Western Australia however now belongs to nature. Castle Fun Park was built in 1979 and included a miniature village complete with castle, [...]
We stumbled upon Gwalia Ghost Town in Western Australia's Great Victoria Desert 828km from Perth. Originally a gold mining town in 1963 when the mines finally closed the population dropped from 1200 to 40.
