An urban explorer has captured haunting footage from inside an abandoned prison which is being slowly reclaimed by the Australian bush. 

The video reveals what remains of the eerie Queensland jail, but its exact location remains a mystery. 

The Gold Coast-based explorer, who keeps his identity secret, filmed himself entering dilapidated cells and common areas, providing a fascinating glimpse into the former jail.

He discovered all cells in the abandoned prison still contained a single steel bed frame, toilet and sink. 

Broken glass windows and graffiti-sprayed walls captured the eerie essence of the jail. 

As the explorer walked across caged bridges and balconies, the overgrown trees became visible.  

The vandalised prison and the heavy duty numbered doors had obviously been reclaimed by nature.  

Each prison cell still contained wooden desks and beds which were used by the prisoners who occupied the rooms

The photographer explored each room including a cafeteria and classroom which still contained tables. 

Scattered furniture and equipment seemed to be untouched in various rooms of the prison. 

There are a number of abandoned creepy buildings in Australian which fascinate adventure seekers.

Some of the most popular include, South Fremantle Power Station, Gladesville Mental Hospital and St John's Orphanage in NSW. 

Thrill seekers explore these urban graveyards and some such as the Rozelle Tram Depot in Sydney, have been restored and are used as cafes or museums.
