	Old Melbourne Gaol, Australia. Travel guide & tourist information by Hostelbookers.com
		The Old Melbourne Gaol (daily 9.30am–4.30pm; $12.50; www.nattrust.com.au), on Russell Street, a block north of the State Library, is probably the most worthwhile of all the downtown sights.
		It's certainly the most popular, largely because Australian folk hero and bushranger Ned Kelly was hanged here in 1880 – the site of his execution, the beam from which he was hung and his death mask are all on display, as is assorted armour worn by the Kelly Gang.
		The bluestone prison was built in stages from 1841 to 1864 – the goldrushes of the 1850s caused such a surge in lawlessness that it kept having to be expanded.

		However, once you begin the actual tour of the gaol, the illusion that prison life was tolerable is quickly shattered.
		Fortunately, in pursuit of the dollar, the gaol hasn’t sacrificed too much of its history, and a tour of the prison is an interesting way to look into the past and catch a glimpse of how tough yesteryear’s criminals had it.
