Locked inside, behind bars and the iconic foreboding brick walls of the now 120 year old prison, you'll be led on a 1.5 hour guided tour by one of the passionate and knowledgeable guides, from who you will learn all about the gaol's legendary history including the crimes and daily life of prisoners,  officers’ duties, riots and rooftop protests, and of course, infamous escapees.
