Wow, the opening shot of those endless blue sky's had me hooked from the start of this one. Poignant music, we did this tour about 8 years ago. Very informative, it looks as though they have cleaned the outside of the building since then. I don't recall some of the art work either if I remember correctly I only remember the artwork in one of the cells. It was certainly a hard life being an inmate! Certainly very basic amenities, no frills. But then they were in there for punishment not on holiday! As always your videos never disappoint, always beautifully shot. Here in the UK we have blue skies and some beautiful sunshine, unfortunately we are sadly lacking any heat! You still need to wrap up warm, we are still struggling to get daytime temperatures into double figures! Still it's nice to see the sunshine makes everything look so different, and people feel more cheerful. Take care, stay safe❤️
Wow this is great Grant. I've done this tour a few times over the years and you've covered it great. Anyone never been there I'd highly recommend they go and check it out. Also in summer months they hold outdoor concerts in the exercise yard. Lol.
Hey Dex, thank you. Concerts in the yard.. Yes they were setting up for a concert the day I visited.. and they also have the movies there too.. talk about creepy.. I can just imagine the atmosphere in there if a night time... I cant believe they were still using those toilet buckets.. OMG!!! 🤪
OMG… I haven’t done a night tour.. yes.. agree it would be awesome.. however I think it would also be rather creepy.. the prison is meant to be haunted as well..
@@GrantMenner I remember on the tour we did they told us all about the supposed ghost that could be seen from a particular window somewhere in the prison. I think her name was Mary? Not sure whether I believe, but it was certainly fun!
Great tour Grant. looks like you got exclusive access Occasionally work right next to the prison. Never been past the big gate. The noose was pretty confronting
Thank you Firdyk.. omg the noose and the gallows room was very eerie.. I can’t quite describe the feeling you had when walking into the room... the conditions in the prison were all rather confronting.. The tour guide tells some amazing stories as you walk though..
It was a great your Dianne. The tour guide so looked the part.. he was amazing and shared so many great stories and shared the history of the prison.. highly recommend it.
@NinjaGamerB it was very cool Ninja.. I look forward to going back sometime for one of the night time tours.. now that will be creepy! It’s incredible to think that his jail was still being used in the 1990’s… the stories and history of all those years.. if only the walls could talk.. (actually its supposed to be haunted so I guess the walls do talk.. haha..)
@Brayden GamingZ Hey Brayden, thank you so much. Love that you were one of my milestone subscribers.. 998! I wouldn’t have to to 1000 without you. So thanks.. and you will get to 1K too.. its hard trying to find the time to regularly post videos, but seeing people comment and give you feedback makes the world of difference. You will get there too mate. 😀👍

Great tour .I've never been there. Tour guide looked a bit like Sean Connery
It was a great your Dianne. The tour guide so looked the part.. he was amazing and shared so many great stories and shared the history of the prison.. highly recommend it.
Wish there was no music to the video
Great tour
It was pretty amazing and the tour guide told us lots of stories and history about the prison.

What’s the song ? Cheers
The last of the ''Tower of London'' style prisons in Australia. Suicides here were off the scales
They spoke of the suicide nets installed in the prison on the tour.. very harsh conditions inside. And to think it only closed in the 1990’s..
