Isn't or was there one, called "Mont Park" on Plenty road. (I think) Bundoora.? My older brother worked as a nurse, there many moons ago.

Hi JIm, Another Victorian mental intistute was/is located at Sunbury to the west of Melbourne out past the Tullamarine airport. I did some work there in the 1970's. And an 'orrible place it was too.
