Walk in the shoes of convicts by Andrew Priest, on Flickr
The Fremantle Prison - The Convict Establishment (Fremantle, Western Australia) is lit at night with various colours. In April 2019, I visited the prison on a dark, stormy night to record the colours. This shot was of the wall alongside the ramp leading up to the gates of the prison. The convicts not only built the wall and ramp, but they had to walk it too.
Today, the Fremantle Prison is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
This is inside the old Redruth Gaol at Burra in the Mid North of South Australia. It was built in 1856. It housed up to 30 male and female prisoners. The gaol was closed in 1894. It reopened in 1897 as Redruth Girls Reformatory. 30 girls 15 years old and above were sent there from Adelaide. In 1922 there was a riot amongst the girls which brought about it's closure. It's main claim to fame in more recent times is that it was used in the film "Breaker Morant" in 1979.

Restormel Castle - Detail - Lostwithiel, Cornwall, UK - UK2016-103 by Andrew Priest, on Flickr
Restormel Castle or Kastel Rostorrmel lies by the River Fowey near Lostwithiel in Cornwall, England, UK. It is one of the four chief Norman castles of Cornwall. The castle is notable for its perfectly circular design. Although once a luxurious residence of the Earl of Cornwall, the castle was all but ruined by the 16th century. It was briefly reoccupied and fought over during the English Civil War but was subsequently abandoned.
Located on a spur of high ground overlooking the River Fowey, Restormel Castle is an unusually well-preserved example of a circular shell keep, a rare type of fortification built during a short period in the 12th and early 13th centuries. Only 71 examples are known in England and Wales, of which Restormel Castle is the most intact of all.
We actually spent a bit of time exploring the Castle, which turned out to be more interesting than the first impressions suggested.
