Old Newcastle Gaol Museum

About

Visit the Newcastle Gaol Museum with its adjoining Police Stables to discover a greater understanding of the nature of European Settlement of the region.

Story

Step back into the era of Moondyne Joe, Western Australia's most infamous bushranger. Spending less than an hour here in Toodyay can transport you back one hundred and fifty years!

Convict labour was used to construct this historic building in the 1860's. The old Gaol is a sturdy stone and mortar structure built to retain and deter the repeated escapes by slippery characters such as Moondyne Joe (Joseph Bolitho Johns).

Enjoy the authentic surroundings and original artefacts. Have fun exploring the tiny cells. Wander through the old Police stables. Retrace Toodyay's colourful history.. will you discover some secrets?
