This sign on the wall behind the tree stump

A lonely tree can you see the old water pump

Honnestly I prefer to go to prison today. Warm cells, good matrass, decent food what do you want else, lol ! Weatherwise you are really spoiled we are now end spring and have the same temperatures !
Looks like it wasn't too pleasant there. Good photos. Hope they didn't charge you to come out again.
Been meaning to ask you Jen. How do you get your photos to enlarge when people click on them? Some of mine enlarge when you click on them and others don't, yet I do the same action for all of them.
I've looked in the Blogger Help but can't find any info.
Uck, I wouldn't want to be a prisoner back then.
Nice pics thank you for sharing, stay warm.

Ugh! Aren't prisons depressing places! As for the recipe for that firewater...whoowee! That'd give you a headache.
Ah, that place and practices make you want to be good. Maybe we should revisit this for some prisoners and we might have fewer laws broken. Peace
Hi Jen. I was here earlier but I lost Internet connection for a short period.
Thank you for the virtual tour. It's sad to think of all those people who suffered inside that jail a long time ago.
Sadly the prisons here have harsh conditions as well. Inmates are overcrowded and they have poor facilities.
G'Day Dear Jan ~~ So they let you out.Just as well, not a very happy place by the looks of it. Complete with whipping rack. Ugh. You sure fitted a lot into your fortnight's holiday.I have enjoyed following you all.
Thanks for your messages, Irena should have won the Nobel Peace Prize.
I do hope your Mammogram and Ultra sound give you good results. Glad you enjoyed the Tailgater joke etc.
Take care, Keep warm. Love, Merle.
You have so many great pictures. I always enjoy visiting museum type places like this. I visited Alcatraz prison in San Francisco years ago. That was very interesting.
Thank you for sharing your trip with us.

I can't even imagine what it must have been like for the prisoners! I'm sure many of them regretted whatever they had done that put them in there!!!! Just the thought of losing my freedom like that brings on the panic...that's why I intend to always be a good girl and stay on the right side of the law! lol Loved the tour, thank you, dear Jen!! xoxo
We have a lot of those old prisons in Australia, don't we! What a pity they are not still used for the likes of the Moran and Williams ratbags. Maybe if prison conditions were still harsh it would act as a deterrent...but maybe not. They had alcohol problems back then, but not the drugs like today.
