Hallway snow extracting blue metal aggregate underA long corridor runs the length of one of the Queen Victoria Sanitorium's ward buildings at Wentworth Falls, its painted walls peeling back through layers of colour applied over nearly a century of continuous use. Light reaches in from windows at the far end, catching dust in the still air. The sanitorium operated from 1903 until 1999, first as a tuberculosis sanitorium and later as a geriatric facility. Part of the Queen Victoria Sanitorium series.
