Just out of town are the ruins of the old hospital. It was a was a canvas and bough shed set up north of the town in July 1892 after an outbreak of typhoid fever (which some think emanated from a well in the centre of town where the rotunda now stands), a new hospital was built on the site in 1895. It was built of local stone with spacious wards and wide shady verandahs. It closed in 1942 and all that's left are ruins, still its a great place to take photographs.
