Old Melbourne Gaol

#australiatrip A small prison museum best enjoyed with a tour. The place may be small but it’s rich in history, if I had not joined any of their tours, I don’t think I’d appreciate or learn much of its history from just reading the signs in the museum. Plus, the tours were only an additional $5 each and you get way way more out of the experience. The escape artist tour has the guide bringing us around the perimeter of the prison, explaining each area and its history, like how some of the old prison buildings are now part of RMIT uni used for criminology and forensic science classes. Very cool. Everything tied in together so nicely with the exhibits inside. Highly recommend.
