While road-tripping around Victoria in January, we came across an abandoned church and accomodation buildings in Newhaven, Phillip Island. There were multiple open doors, and no signs warning us to keep out, so we spent an hour or two exploring the buildings with our cameras.

When doing some research afterwards, it turns out the buildings were originally St Paul's Training School for Boys, and opened in 1925. The buildings have been used for various purposes since then, and have been empty for quite a few years (see here and here for details).

At the time of writing, the property is still for sale.
