Dubbo 2

The paving inside the main entrance is made of wooden blocks abour 300x150mm. These are hammered into the ground narrow edge down and were preferred to stone cobbles because they softened the noise of horses hooves as they brought yet another prisoner for incarceration or execution. So thoughtful! But most of it is still intact after 200 years so that ain't bad.The gaol is clearly from the same era and jurisdiction as the Richmond one. A great claim to fame for Dubbo.
