Ghost walks get underway on Halloween night

as posted here

The City of Gosnells begins its annual Ghost Walk season on Halloween night, Saturday October 31.

Trained guides will lead groups of people along a 5.5km bush track under the moonlight in search of the spirits of our old pioneers.

In the 1860s the Mason and Bird timber mill company employed more than 100 men to create a thriving community in the Orange Grove hills. Those men and their families come alive on the City’s ghost walks as volunteers assume the role of our early pioneers to provide a glimpse of the past.

Come along and meet Joe Dart – an English convict who became the best teamster in the company. He was buried in Kenwick Cemetery and his descendants still live in the area.

Ghost Walks are held from October to March and the cost is $15 per adult, $9.50 per child or $41 for a family of two adults and two children.

Cost includes a delicious supper at the end of the Ghost Walk.

This event is suitable for family groups and bookings are essential.

For more information or to make a booking, please call Leisure Services on 9452 9901.
