点评:We went on the torchlight tour of the prison. The tour started at 19.45 and finished about 21.00 or thereabouts. You are given a torch…and yes, you need it! Our guide, Nathan, was informative, knowledgeable and with a good sense of humour. He clearly enjoys his job and this was conveyed to our party quite openly. We were able to ask him a wide array of questions and he wasn’t flawed by any of them.
We were a large group by all accounts, yet still able to get into a circle or a triangle when the need arose! The tour takes you across the quad, through all of the four divisions (wings) of the prison, the exercise yard, the solitary confinement bay, the gallows and finally the mortuary. Really really interesting.
Nathan touched on some of the more famous residents and their cases from the years, but I imagine that you would receive more detailed info on them during the day time tours? That said, the tour was interesting and informative and such an amazing piece of history right there on the doorstep. Also amazing to believe that…. 1 in 5 WA residents (born and bred) are descended from residents of the prison.!
Great tour and thank you Nathan.
翻译:我们参加了火炬之旅,参观了监狱。游览开始于 19:45,结束于 21:00 左右。您会得到一支火炬……是的,您需要它!我们的导游 Nathan 知识渊博,知识渊博,幽默感十足。他显然很喜欢自己的工作,这一点也非常坦率地传达给了我们一行人。我们可以问他各种各样的问题,他没有一个问题出问题。
总的来说,我们是一个大团体,但当需要时,我们仍然可以围成一个圆圈或三角形!这次旅行将带您穿过四合院,穿过监狱的所有四个分区(翼楼)、操场、单独监禁区、绞刑架,最后是太平间。真的非常有趣。
Nathan 谈到了一些多年来比较有名的囚犯和他们的案例,但我想您会在白天的旅行中收到有关他们的更详细信息?话虽如此,这次旅行很有趣,信息量很大,而且门口就有一段令人惊叹的历史。同样令人惊奇的是……五分之一的西澳居民(土生土长)是监狱居民的后代。!
很棒的旅行,谢谢 Nathan。
