'Australian Heritage
Prisons' is a portal to the many 19th century prisons, lock-ups, courthouses and police stations that are scattered around
the Australian landscape.
These buildings were built to last, and last they
have. Many have become important heritage centres, and not just the big prisons in major cities. Smaller heritage
prisons and courthouses often house local history museums in regional towns and are an integral part of the Australian
heritage industry.
Compiled by the Boggo Road Gaol Historical Society,
this site is an invaluable resource for tourists and researchers alike.
