Start the New Year by discovering something a little different. If you haven’t visited Old Melbourne Gaol since your school days, now’s the perfect excuse to return and see it with fresh eyes. Step inside and uncover the stories you may have missed — from bold characters and daring escapes to the real history behind the legends.
Standing in the heart of Melbourne since 1845, the Gaol has witnessed some of the city’s most dramatic chapters. Now cared for by the National Trust, it offers a memorable way to kick off the year by exploring the lives of some of Australia’s most infamous figures, including bushranger Ned Kelly and gangster Squizzy Taylor.
