Old Beechworth Gaol Tour
The Old Beechworth Gaol is located in the centre of the historical town of Beechworth in North East Victoria. Tour guides will share many stories of the last 150 years. From daily life as a prisoner, epic bushranger stories and changes to the site.
Being one of Australia’s most significant post European cultural sites, its role in the chain of events that led to the execution of Ned Kelly is significant. It also housed Ned’s mother, Ellen Kelly, many of the Kelly sympathisers and Ned himself, alongside his brother Dan and the rest of the Kelly gang.​
There is more to the place than just the Ned Kelly story, with many other people spending time behind bars.
