Old Dubbo Gaol
Old Dubbo Gaol was first used as a courthouse lock up for the Dubbo area. It opened as the official gaol for Dubbo in 1859 and finally shut its doors in 1966. During that period it housed some of Dubbo’s most infamous criminals, such as Jackie Underwood who was incarcerated for his part in a local massacre.
Through wandering around Old Dubbo Gaol, learning about prison life and spending a few solitary moments in a cell, visitors can get a realistic insight into what it was like to have been confined in prison in the 19th century.
