Answer 1

Queen Victoria market.

That's the site of the old cemetery, before they moved it up north near Carlton. Due to a fire early this century, when many of the older records were lost, they never did manage to track down all the bodies when it was relocated and a few thousand were left behind, unaccounted for. To this day, whenever any digging is done, they often encounter human remains. The car park in particular is a bit of a hot-spot from what I've heard.

Answer 2

Beechworth Prison in Beechworth.  It only closed down a few years ago (2004), but I'm not sure what it's current status is - whether it's guarded or not.

Also Fairfield House on the Murray Valley Highway near Rutherglen.  I believe it has been restored and is now open for guided tours.  Not quite what you asked for, but it may be of help to you.

Both of these places are in Northeast Victoria (despite what the website name is for Fairfield - I have no idea why it's listed in "visitnsw.com" because Rutherglen is most definitely in Victoria!!!).  I grew up driving past Fairfield house at least once a week.  It's a massive mansion that was abandoned until the 1990's when it opened to the public.  There is another large mansion across the road and the story goes that there is a tunnel between the mansions because the man of the other mansion (can't remember the name of the place) was having an affair with the wife in the Fairfield mansion and that was how they secretly met up.  Can't verify if this is true or not, but I still live in the area and the story is quite well known.

Point Cook Homestead

Werribee Mansion
