Australia's oldest convict Gaol which operated from 1825 - 1840. Today, it is a popular historic site and is part of the Richmond Gaol Historic Site, managed by the Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service.
The Richmond Gaol is a convict era building and tourist attraction in Richmond, Tasmania, and is the oldest intact gaol in Australia. Building of the gaol commenced in 1825, and predates the establishment of the penal colony at Port Arthur in 1833. One of the tasks completed by the convicts who were held at Richmond Gaol was the construction of Richmond Bridge.
