Part 1 : Gaol Self Guided Tour
(The famous Ned Kelly and gangster Squizzy Taylor have spent time here)











Part 2 : Watch House Experience

This tour is unique as you will enter the watch house as a prisoner. The Charge Sergeant gave each of us a name tag with some information, like name, kind of crime, punishment, etc followed by some "checking" before we begin the tour of the cells. (I can't take any photos during this process)

Get ready and enjoy the tour ! :)





This cell is unique, isn't it? It's special for suicidal related prisoners.







- THE COLONIAL TRAMCAR RESTAURANT - 

This is the best place to celebrate your special occasion! But of course if you have nothing to celebrate, this tramcar restaurant will give you a special and unique dining experience, with dynamic city view outside your window. Without doubts, quality of service is best!
