As you visit the 19th-century structure, you’ll understand why it has become one of Melbourne’s most feared destinations. Here, you’ll have a chance to learn about the place that held and executed some of Australia's most notorious criminals, including serial killer Frederick Bailey Deeming and bushranger Ned Kelly.
During your self-guided tour, you can wander the cells and halls of the former jail and read stories about its history and executions.
