Tours

To see inside the OBG, tour bookings are essential. Our daily historic tours run 7 days a week at 10am, 11am, 12pm, and 1:30pm and last for approx 50 minutes.

Our tour guides will share with you the many stories that have made the past 150 years. Stories from daily life as a prisoner, the chages to the site, bushranger epics, and real stories from real persons who called this site home.

We also offer private tours for bookings of 20+ persons, schools, bus groups, etc. Please message 0419477637 for enquiries. Private tours will be subject to availability.
