Allow approximately 45–60 minutes to complete the experience as you explore the historic gaol complex and uncover stories of law and order in a frontier town. Step inside the cells that once held infamous bushrangers including Captain Moonlite and Peisley, while listening to world-class narration bringing Gundagai’s colourful past to life.

The Old Gundagai Gaol stands proudly on the corner of First Avenue and Byron Street, enclosed by impressive local slate walls with sandstone capping. Wander through the cell blocks, exercise yards and historic buildings while discovering hidden stories from one of regional New South Wales’ most intriguing heritage sites.

Please note: Because of the way the Old Gaol was constructed and the slope of the land, it is difficult to access for those with limited mobility. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
