Old Melbourne Gaol

The Old Melbourne Gaol was the best thing we did In Melbourne. It was fascinating of what we found out

Old Melbourne Gaol is a highlight among the city’s things to do. The main selling point is that the famous outlaw Ned Kelly was executed in the gaol, and it has plenty of interesting information about the lives of the Kellys, as well as the death masks of Ned Kelly and many other former inmates on display. A free performance about the Kellys is put on throughout the day to entertain and inform visitors.

There was something exceedingly eerie about the gruesome collection of death masks cast from the actual heads of executed prisoners and noose on display. During the time of the Old Melbourne Gaol (jail), an astonishing 133 male and female prisoners were executed by hanging on the premises, the most infamous being Australian folk hero Ned Kelly. Equally disturbing were the stories of Martha Moore who paid a pittance to adopt children that she proceeded to murder and bury in her backyard or the tale of Martha Kneedle who poisoned her husband and daughters with arsenic.

Visit Australia's most haunted building. Come face-to-face with the death mask of Ned Kelly, experience a ghostly night tour or feelwhat it's like to be arrested in the Watcch House.

Must visit! They've opened almost all the chambers and inside each one they have information about the prisoner that stayed there or something else interesting about the place.Many interesting stories and see the death masks of famous criminals and the instruments used as punishment. If you really go in and read everything, the whole place can take a good 2hrs or so.

Its kinda weird but here you pay to get yourself arrested. You'll experience being lockup and stay overnight at the watch house. Also visit the century old prison built in the early Melbourne, and the place that they used to execute people.

Very interesting and interactive. You should check this place out if you are in to history.

毕竟是监狱，比较阴冷，但还是值得来参观一下的，不建议儿童前往。相对于囚犯的故事，我更喜欢这里的钢筋结构，对称设计，所以拍了很多角度的图片。

倒是难得一见，不过里面确实让人比较压抑，所以没过多久就出来了。非常推荐，很有趣的监狱体验，女狱长戏很足。犯人男女左右分开排队，还气势汹汹地点人问问题哈哈哈，被她点到的我瑟瑟发抖。

旧监狱很大，你要先去一个小店买票，逛一逛男子监狱，然后等候应该是每小时一次的监狱体验。狱警把你带进监狱，这个时候你就是他的犯人！刚开始拿着手机在看照片，被他凶了！吓我一跳！哈哈哈哈哈，个人感觉蛮好玩的。具体的就不多说了！让你们自己去体验比较有意思！(全程英文，我英语不是很好，所以也就听个大概，建议提前了解一下历史，有兴趣的再去，不然会觉得不值得票价，一个人是30几澳，学生证可以打折！)
