Ghost tour guide Peter Fielding, dressed in a raven-black top hat and frock coat, leads a band of history enthusiasts to the old âhangingâ jail at Oatlands, a heritage town in the Tasmanian midlands famed for its 138 Georgian sandstone buildings.
Thirty years ago, in the depths of an economic slump and rural drought, this former military barrack a little over an hourâs drive north of Hobart had the air of a ghost town. Today, with a heritage tourism and foodie revival under way, the ghosts need a little conjuring.
