Grave Insanity – Ararat Cemetery Walking Tour

Grave Insanity – A Cemetery Walking Tour
Between Life and Death Lies History

The Grave Insanity Cemetery Tour gives 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 immersive 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.
