I can really appreciate the heritage side as well as the approach to encouraging small business by offering low overheads. I just didn’t really like to be in the space myself

I went there some years ago with a tour group on a cold, windy winter’s night. Added a whole other dimension made even worse when, because I couldn’t climb the stairs due to a bout of sciatica and was left to wait feeling very uncomfortable in semi dark downstairs, I was forgotten as they exited without passing the area where they had left me. Hearing that door clang shut was not pleasant.

That made me feel a bit uncomfortable, they used to have hangings in a tower separate from the cell blocks but in the newer section they hung the prisoners inside.

The sneaky buggers at the old Adelaide Gaol have mannequins set up near the execution platform so that as you enter it catches your eye and for an instant you think they are real. Nit ideal when you are walking around a deserted prison on your own.

I’m always surprised at how much my sister and father love the visitors tours there. Fairly sure my father was thrown in there at least once before I was born.

I keep trying to write something intelligent and respectful about your discomfort, but my fascination with Fremantle and the heritage stuff keeps overwhelming my brain. Doing the tours there gives me the creeps but I suspect I’d prefer working in an office there to my current workplaces. (Sorry.)
