Aradale Lunatic Asylum, located in Ararat, Victoria, was a significant Australian psychiatric facility that operated for over 126 years, treating and housing the mentally ill. Established in 1865, the asylum once accommodated up to 1,000 patients and features a large complex with around 70 historic abandoned buildings.

Now a ghost town, Aradale offers guided tours through its cavernous walls and halls, providing visitors with a glimpse into its storied past. The former asylum, originally known as the Ararat Lunatic Asylum, was closed in 1993 and remains a site of historical interest and exploration.
