A nice piece of history remaining in the park to remind visitors of what this area used to be.

Sturdy bluestone pillar. Marker to the entrance of the former ‘sanitarium.’

Best historic relic bluestone pillar I've seen in a long time. 10/10 would visit again.

Remnant bluestone pillar of the main gate of the Yarra Bend Asylum that operated from 1848 to 1925. Up to 1000 inmates were housed in it.

There stands a relic by the river Yarra,A bluestone pillar from an era afar.It's weathered and worn, with cracks and chips,Yet it still stands tall, with a story on its lips.Long ago, it marked a boundary line,A symbol of power, a sign of design.It witnessed history, and heard many tales,Of triumphs and failures, of victories and fails.The Yarra flowed by, and time marched on,The pillar remained, a testament strong.It stood through storms and floods and fires,A constant reminder of our human desires.Today it stands, a proud and stoic tower,A link to the past, a memory of power.It tells us tales of the days gone by,And reminds us to cherish our history and try.So next time you pass by the Yarra's shore,Take a moment to pause and explore,The bluestone pillar with a story to tell,And feel the weight of history's spell.

An unobtrusive landmark of a forgotten place, although it does appear larger in real life. I am grateful that at least this pillar remains of (the gate) of a building that once housed Melbourne’s mentally ill, among whom was one of my ancestors in 1862. I was able to visit here with my family in remembrance of the care but also suffering that took place here at the Yarra Bend Lunatic Asylum.

Not much to see here, but plenty of ghosts.
