In this video, we visit and stay the night in the ghost town, Terowie in South Australia. We also see the ruins of the Dawson Hotel and some great South Australian scenery.

Bahahahaha, i could tell some tales that would make it a lot creepier. That "free camp" is littered with asbestos, Kev's scrap yard is just because the dump closed one of my Dads oldsmobiles is there. at 4:10 you were about 150 meters from the house where Martin Mefferts remains where found, that's probably where you got "the vibe", it was on the next street back from main st right behind the house you said obviously someone still lives there.

Terowie used to be a junction with three different gauges of railway lines. When it went single gauge the railway in the town died.
