Old Dubbo Gaol

The Old Dubbo Gaol contains preserved cell blocks, watchtowers, and support buildings constructed with red-brown bricks, revealing details of colonial prison architecture.

The facility operated from 1871 to 1966 as a penal institution, with eight executions performed on the wooden Cypress Pine gallows between 1877 and 1904.

The museum displays Australia's third largest collection of animated models and historical artifacts, including an original set of gallows and a complete hangman's kit.

The museum welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, offering self-guided tours with maps and educational materials for an admission fee of $22.50.

The gaol maintains one of only two existing hangman's kits in Australia, containing specialized ropes, weights, and a block and tackle system.
