Built from bluestone in the 1840s, Victoria's oldest surviving prison held over a hundred executions within its walls — Ned Kelly among them in 1880. Day tickets cover self-guided audio tours and the women and children's cell block. After dark, the Hangman's Night Tour moves through the same corridors by lamplight. Russell Street has rarely felt further from the present.
