Old Adelaide Gaol, Thebarton, South Australia
The gaol was the first permanent one in South Australia and operated from 1841 until 1988. The prison is now a museum, tourist attraction and function centre. 

From 1861 to 1883, 13 prisoners were executed on portable gallows erected between the Gaol’s inner and outer walls. Executions were moved to the “New Building” in 1894 where a further 21 prisoners were executed. The “Hanging Tower” was converted to that use in 1950 and used for the last four executions before Capital Punishment was abolished in 1976. From 1840 to 1964, 45 of the 66 people executed in South Australia were executed by hanging at the Gaol. William Ridgway was the youngest at 19 in 1874, Elizabeth Woolcock the only woman in 1873 and the last was Glen Sabre Valance in 1964.
