Day 7 - Adelaide Gaol

  • Adelaide
  • 17°c

A trip to the Adelaide Gaol for a bit of history!


 


We certainly wouldn't have escaped, no lock picking talents here, would be a handy skill..


No fancy pull down screens here, now why didn't the chemists think of that for passport photos?



Amazing how primitive the Drs room was, certainly wouldn't want to be sick in there


The Hangmans Tower was quite eerie, especially the stairs leading under the trapdoor





Ella starting early on car maintenance lessons


Yay, warm enough for a dip in the pool, although not warm enough for Mummy & Daddy


Life learning in action!

  1. Will have to show Gav! But would have been yuckily eerie, a bit like Alcatraz, once you actually think about WHERE you are & what happened there it is a bit errmmm.

    LOVE the pics and the last shot especially. Miss you all xx
