Old Dubbo Gaol

Explore the Old Dubbo Gaol, a 19th-century prison that vividly portrays the harsh realities of colonial incarceration. Wander through restored cellblocks and sandstone walls, gaze upon the original gallows, and ascend the watchtower for panoramic views. Engage with immersive exhibitions, including the Gallows Gallery, which houses Australia's largest collection of hangman's ropes. During school holidays, costumed characters reenact daring escape attempts, bringing history to life. Open daily from 9 am to 5 pm, the gaol offers a unique glimpse into Australia's penal past.
