About

For the first time, the Grave Insanity Cemetery Tour will give the public guided access to rarely discussed burial stories connected to Ararat’s former asylum era — including newly uncovered names and archival details that have never before been shared in a public tour.

Led by archives explorer and author Jacqui Sanders, whose research has brought national attention to the hidden histories of institutionalised mothers and children, this powerful walking tour moves beyond ghost stories to reveal the real lives behind the headstones. With access to original records and deeply personal case studies drawn from years of research, Grave Insanity offers audiences something extraordinary: the chance to stand at the graves of those once labelled “insane” and hear the human stories history tried to forget.
