This Altona Homestead ghost tour, with bright lanterns, is very entertaining. Altona Homestead was built in 1842, a pioneering property that has since served many useful purposes. Altona is an outer suburb. The bluestone residence has much to see at night. The homestead is near Port Philip Bay, almost on the waterfront. These days, it is the headquarters of the Altona Laverton Historical Society. Altona Homestead is 20 km (12 km) from the Melbourne CBD by car. By the way, a fee is charged, you can book on-line.

Summary:
We did the investigation last night and it was great. Because off smaller numbers we got plenty of time in all the rooms using all the varied equipment. I’ve done plenty of ghost tours before but not investigations and will definitely be doing more in the future. Would go again and totally recommend this.
