点评:A fascinating place to visit from the moment you arrive and are greeted by the (very helpful) receptionist/guide. There is no entry fee but a donation is helpful (not demanded) for the upkeep of this attraction. It is a self guided tour, map provided with numbered markers showing when to listen to the audio. Once you have downloaded the QR code you can embark on a very detailed explanation of the history and purpose of the Gaol. You probably need about 90 minutes for an in depth look at this place and the map helps to orientate you along the way. It was very easy to get there on the free bus services that run from the centre of Darwin.
When we were there it was very quiet which made the tour extremely easy as there were 3 of us listening to the audio without headphones - would be more tricky to do that if there were more people around.
There are limited opening hours so check the details before you travel there.
Make sure you have water with you. Can be very hot to walk around and, although there is a water station near the end of the tour you need to keep hydrated.
The helpful lady also suggested that we visit the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory which also houses the Cyclone Tracey exhibition. This is on the bus route back tot he centre of Darwin so very easy to fit in and has longer opening hours.
翻译:从踏入这里的那一刻起,这里就是一个值得一游的迷人之地——热情友善的前台接待员兼导游会热情地迎接你。虽然无需支付门票费用,但如果您能捐助一点款项,将有助于景点的维护(并非强制要求)。这是一项自助导览活动,提供的地图上标有编号标记,指示您何时收听语音讲解。下载相应的二维码后,您便可获得关于这座监狱的历史及其用途的详尽介绍。要仔细游览这个地方,大概需要90分钟左右,地图则能帮助你确定行进方向。乘坐从达尔文市中心发车的免费巴士即可轻松抵达。
我们去的时候人很少,因此游览起来格外轻松——我们三个人都没有戴耳机,直接聆听讲解音频。如果周围人多的话,这么做可能就有点困难了。
该景点的开放时间有限,出发前请务必确认具体时间。记得随身携带水。外面可能会非常炎热,虽然游览路线末端有一个供水点,但还是需要及时补充水分。
那位热心的女士还建议我们去参观北领地博物馆及艺术馆,那里正在举办“气旋特蕾西”主题展览。该馆位于返回达尔文市中心的公交路线上,非常方便顺路前往,而且开放时间较长。
