Gwalia Ghost Town 🏜️
#2024wish
On arriving at Gwalia Ghost Town – it is as if one just stepped out of a time capsule from the Gold Rush era! 💰 Admission fee was only $10 – a small price to pay for such an insane reality. 🎟️
Wandering through the forlorn buildings was chilling – it’s as if time stopped in this town. The museum with all the artifacts and stories about it revived history. 🕰️
Don’t overlook the enormous headframe of the old mine – a spooky glimpse at Gwalia’s glorious history. 🏭 There was a feeling of nostalgia when exploring the miner’s cottages and the old Hoover House. 🏡
This is a great place if you’re into stargazing. The night sky across the ghost town is simply breathtaking. 🌌 And if you want to get a glimpse of modern life, then Leonora is just few minutes away where it has its own attractions. 🚗 #GwaliaGhostTown #GoldRushHistory #TimeTraveler #OutbackAdventure

Just had the most mind-blowing day at the Archaeological Park of Herculaneum! 🏛️🌋 Tucked away near Naples, this ancient city has risen from the ashes of Mount Vesuvius and is an absolute must-see. The entrance fee was around €16, a small price for stepping back in time.
Walking through the preserved ruins, you feel the pulse of daily life in Herculaneum – the well-preserved houses, vibrant frescoes, and even the eerie remnants of ancient wooden furniture. It's like time travel without the DeLorean. 🕰️✨
The highlight for me was the Villa dei Papiri, a luxurious mansion with its own private library. Imagining the life of the elite in this seaside paradise was surreal. 🏰📚
Post-Herculaneum exploration, take a short stroll to the Herculaneum Marina for some sea breeze and panoramic views. 🌊⛵ Grab a gelato and just soak it all in.
For more ancient wonders, Pompeii is a stone's throw away. The juxtaposition of Herculaneum's more intimate setting with Pompeii's grandeur provides a fascinating perspective on Roman life. 🏛️🌿
Wrap up your day at a local trattoria – the flavors of Campania will dance on your taste buds. Naples' pizza is legendary, and you're right in the heart of it all. 🍕🍷
Herculaneum, you left me enchanted! #HerculaneumMagic #TimeTraveler #ArchaeologyAdventures #ExploreItaly
