Overall it was a good visit, especially the mine tour. Lots of staff around and an excellent portrayal of life in the area in the 1850’s. However, the start, getting in, was chaotic to say the very least. They need a better (and faster) queuing system and signposting for those with prepaid tickets. And the signposting inside Sovereign Hill was inadequate. Yes, we eventually worked it out, but a few signs would have been helpful. But nevertheless, we had a good visit. We were there for about 5 hours, and time didn’t drag. Getting there by public transport was simple as well.

Pentridge Prison

Established in 1851 & largely constructed from 1858 - 64, Pentridge is the largest prison complex built in Victoria in the 19th century. Until its closure in 1996, Pentridge was Victoria’s central prison & the most well-known and used gaol in the State’s history. Most of Victoria’s convicted & notorious criminals were jailed there between 1900 and the 1990s. The aesthetic significance of the 19th century prison buildings at Pentridge derives from their monumental scale & austere Classical style, expressive of the requirements of containment and order and typical of prison buildings in the 1850’s & 1860’s. It also derives from the use of ashlar bluestone, much of it quarried on site. Visitors can explore the former prison’s B Division and the notorious H Division. This is a place that challenges & confronts, deeply connected to the social & cultural fabric of Australia. The stories within this journey are deep, unique, & expose the intricacies of prison punishment.
