Story of Darlinghurst Gaol

In the 1820s, Sydney needed a new Gaol.

The Government chose the site for the gaol site because it's on a hill, so it was easy to see from the city. This was important because Sydney was still a convict town in 1820. The gaol reminded people of this fact. It was also a good site because there was plenty of sandstone nearby for building,being sourced from the eastern side of the hill on the west estate, Barcom Glen.

The walls of the Woolloomooloo stockade were built by convicts from 1822-1824. The marks were made to show how much work each convict did.
