gaol Old Dubbo Gaol

The Old Dubbo Gaol is definitely worth seeing, a great historic landmark in Dubbo, and well presented. They have great little animated displays. It gives a good feel for life in Dubbo in the early 1900’s for a criminal.It’s been recently renovated to make it even better.

There’s an animated character out the front that will give you a good idea of what it’s like inside.

You can check out the Old Dubbo Gaol website here.

It’s on the northern end of the main street, near the Commonwealth Bank.  

Admission costs are listed on the Old Dubbo Gaol website.

Ph: 02  6801 4460 for more details.

  11. Just wondering if anyone can help…how long does the tour go for, would we see everything available in the gaol in a few hours, a day or half a day etc.
    Also, do we have to book. The website seems to be down

  12. i think shows are on twice a day (i think 11.30 and 2.30) but with a self guided booklet, you can tour the gaol in 1-2 hours.

    Shows are great! try and fit it into your schedule!

  13. no need to book
