Adelaide Old Gaol

So I haven't written in a few days and usually I just let this go and write about the most recent thing but really - I'm thinking it might just be interesting for me to read someday when I'm old and grey too so I'm going to write a couple different posts about a few of the different things that we've encountered this weekend (and later last week).

Thursday I went to the Old Adelaide Gaol. This is actually the Old English spelling of "jail" but is pronounced the same way as jail. It had been in existence for around 100 years but they closed it down in the late 70s-ish. Basically they had run out of money so the people were moved to other locations.

Being a chilly rainy Thursday afternoon, there weren't many people there at all. In fact - there was really just one other couple walking around and it was pretty big grounds so I didn't see them too much. I was getting freaked out reading all the stories of the crazy criminals that were in there and all the hangings and other executions that had been done there. The escapes are not comforting to think about either. Definitely not a fan! So yeah - I didn't really read all the stories but what I did read was interesting...
