Torrens Island Quarantine Station was built in 1879 to stop passengers bringing diseases such as smallpox into Adelaide. Today, the site is remarkably intact and evokes the experiences of passengers placed in quarantine from the 1880s to the 1960s. This guided tour explores the bathing blocks, boiler house, disinfection block and autoclave, morgue, isolation hospital, and more. Ticket includes same-day entry to the South Australian Maritime Museum.
