Tips from locals
Wander around the dilapidated corrugated irons shacks with fencing surrounds that were used as cells. Make sure to visit the infirmary where an elaborate gallows was built and used! Plus there's a series or art works by inmates from the gaol and their story is fascinating and inspiring.
Fannie Bay Gaol is a historic gaol in Darwin, Australia. The gaol operated as Her Majesty's Gaol and Labour Prison, from 20 September 1883 until 1 September 1979. The gallows remain on public view, and visitors can push the lever that operated the trap. The prison was damaged, along with much of Darwin, by Cyclone Tracy in 1974.
