Willow Court Lunatic Asylum was Australia’s first, and longest lasting, asylum. Established in 1826 under various names and management it closed in 2000. Only now are archaeological digs beginning on the site, in the Derwent Valley in Tasmania, to discover the daily lives and experiences of patients and staff over the course of the 19th and 20th centuries. On the project is a Broome based archaeologist. Dr Lynley Wallis is with the Nulungu Institute at the Notre Dame campus in Broome.
