Today I was lucky enough to have a look at the heritage listed Bendigo Gaol/Jail. In a previous post I got some shots of the stairs in one of the guard towers and that sparked my interest to getting some shots from within the grounds. There are currently construction works going on ($25.8 million development) in the grounds, interior walls have been taken down to make room for new buildings. In the shots below you'll see what's left over from the demolition of the external buildings that were off the main cell block.

To the right of this image is where the inmates that died in these walls were buried.
I could not fit this into one shot so 3 shots were stitched together
This is looking up inside the main cell block in the middle of the two wings
The cells are not very big!
Got a ghost in the shot! or is it?
second level Sandhurst wing
According to the sign near this door, this was Chopper Reid cell
