Fancy a stint in the lock-up?
There are interactive displays, 3D models and much more to celebrate the pioneers who made this marvel work.
Also in town is the New South Wales State Correctional Gaol Museum, which provides an insight into what really goes on behind bars. You can learn all about the state’ s 200-year penal history of incarceration from convict days to the present. It contains rooms full of memorabilia from jails all around Australia, actual items smuggled inside various gaols, and so much more – it’ s easy to spend hours here.
The guides inside are‘ inmates’ who are on their‘ last stint’ before release. They’ re happy to show you around as they describe escape attempts, answer questions about life on the inside and show you where other inmates hand-made items to sell in their own shop for extra money. Don’ t miss this attraction.
