Does anyone know of creepy places I can go to around Tasmania?
I'm kinda curious if there's many abandoned places or just places in Tasmania that are pretty creepy. A great example would be the doll heads in the rivulet tunnel, kinda just stuff like that.
I'm planning on going around the city to look for abandoned places that not many people talk about I'll be sure to add that to the discussion.
