Pristine South Tasmania 2025 | Page 87 Richmond Gaol Historical Site Ph 6260 2127 • 37 Bathurst Street, Richmond www.richmondgaol.com.au M17185 Photography by Sam Shelley The Richmond Gaol is an Historic Site and popular tourist attraction situated in the town of Richmond in the heart of the Coal River Valley, a short 20-minute drive for Hobart. Built in 1825 you’re invited to take a step back in time and explore Australia’s oldest existing convict gaol still in its original preservation. Read the stories of the men and women who passed through these doors. Walk into the solitary confinement cells (2 x 1 metre) and experience the isolation of imprisonment. You will see the gaoler’s house, the chain gang sleeping rooms, the flogging yard, the cook house and holding rooms all filled with historic relics and documents to bring the convict past to life. The Gaol also has an attached gift shop stocked full of Gaol, Richmond and Tasmania souvenirs. Visiting Tasmania’s Richmond Gaol is not to be missed. The Gaol is open daily from 9am to 5pm (closed Christmas Day). Photography by Sam Shelley Richmond Gaol Historic Site TASMANIA - HOBART & SURROUNDS
