This is a new and factual tour we have developed for your enjoyment and entertainment.
It is a history tour with a difference. It covers the darker side of the more unusual characters and grisly events that have graced the Gaol’s precincts.
These are explained in detail. Executions and executioners, foul murderers and serial killers, con-men and loose women. The tragic tales of loss and grief are all explored. We explain how hangings are conducted and where the murderers are buried.
If you are looking for an exciting, darker and different take on South Australia’s history, this is the tour for you.
Paranormal Investigations
For the devotee of the paranormal, we have our Paranormal Investigations. These have been developed by the Adelaide Gaol’s original paranormal investigator, Jeff Fausch, who was the co founder of Paranormal Field Investigators. Jeff has developed and trained a team of investigators who concentrate on the large amount of phenomena occurring at the Gaol.
Adelaide Gaol History Tours
Guided History Tours are available either during the day or evening. We can tailor your tour to include morning or afternoon tea, a lecture on the history of the Gaol, or specific aspects of the Gaol site.
