Going To The Gundagai Gaol

Gaol is jail in Australia and if you break the law, you're going there no matter the spelling. You can also go there if a Gaol is closed and now a museum. Like in Gundagai.

The Big House at the Gundagai gaol. Warden, not prisoner.

Spartan accommodations. A single bed and a single bucket toilet.

Exercise yard, bars between you and the wild blue yonder.

Stockage in an exhibition room and a portrait of some famous bushrangers (rural outlaws) who passed through the gaol including James Nesbitt and a man with a flowery name, Captain Moonlight. Trippy.

Prison kitchen, a fireplace, table and pot. Daily gruel!
