The Rozelle Hospital
Historical landmark
👍👍 Very good spot for underage smoking, drinking and consumption of illegal substances. No need to bring a bong as there are many Gatorade bongs scattered throughout the place.

👍👍 The site is on private property and tours run on Saturdays. Winter tours start at roughly 2pm, last I was there they were planning on starting the summer tours later (6pm?) to avoid the heat of the day.
