The castle has lots of beautiful windows.

The castle is made out of limestone blocks and is very strong.

All the limestone came from near the castle.

All the wood inside the castle came from trees around the castle.

The person who built the castle was Robert Campbell.

Robert Campbell built the castle for his wife.

It took fifteen years to build the castle.

There are coloured windows in the roof that are very pretty.

The ceiling was very high and there were things on them.

The staircase was beautiful and would be fun to slide down.

There were lots of old furniture and pictures we could look at.

There might be a ghost that lives upstairs.

The castle has a wonderful view.

The castle was built like one that was built in Scotland.

It is dangerous to go upstairs now because the wood has rotted.

The people there are trying to fix the castle up so people can go upstairs and see the view.

Out the back there were rooms to keep things in for the people in the castle.

There is a jail at Campbell Park to put people in while they waited for the police.

When the big gold rush was going on they kept the gold in the jail.

There is a hut and a cave near the castle at Campbell Park.
