hardtime.

All Ned wanted to do was to visit the jail so we squeezed a couple of hours in to do some hard time!!
I knew it was self toured but I thought you would have to stick to paths and look at things from a distance but the lady took our money, gave us a headset and let us roam.  It was really cool and interesting and sad too but it was also bloody spooky.  A few areas we just didn't go too far in and it was a really windy day so that didn't help with the cell doors creaking!!!  It opened in in the 1840's and closed in 1998 so you can imagine plenty of ghosts over the last 150 years.
 They even labelled the cell for them!

one for Al too !!
 


 We got to go everywhere and there was even still stuff in some cells!!

 Outdoor cells for the worst offenders - brrrr!!

 weeks, months or years??  we actually clued on half way through that Ned was really enjoying himself reading some pretty colourful graffitti on cell walls!!!

 they hung 'em from this archway...
 In the visiting room talking through the glass - just like on tv!!!
