Top photos Jason.
I like both styles. They both tell a different story.
I haven't visited Old Melb Gaol, but I intend to. I have been to many old Gaols around Victoria (some several times), and I look forward to seeing Old Melbourne.
Fortunately Cheryl and our boys are also fascinated by them so the old Gaols make a great family day out for us
We were the only people in the Old Geelong Gaol all day on one of our visits. We had the place to ourselves

The guide said some days they get no-one. What a waste of a great old attraction.
If you get down this way again, take the time to go out to Ararat and visit 'J' Ward.
It is the best old Gaol we have ever been to. It is the old Gaol for the Criminally Insane.
Man, talk about spooky! Yet we keep going back
