The Gaol is partially wheelchair accessible. It is over 3 levels and due to the building's heritage status does not have lifts or ramps. Around 80% of the museum information is on the ground floor and is displayed on the walls and in cells. Please note the cell doors are very narrow and may not be wide enough for some chairs.

The jail was great however I thought we were doing a guided tour and we weren’t booked in for one. Make sure it is guided if that’s what you want.
