23.01.2022 Happy Easter to all. Easter bunny has visited the gaol and instructed us to give any good girls and boys an egg when they come in for a tour. But you have to hop in quick

23.01.2022 Yesterday we had the Port Broughton daycare group here for Devonshire tea. Deb and Bhel did a great job doing 10 Devonshire tea then a tour. Its always a great feeling when they praise you up for the scones, and the tour, the atmosphere etc. Got told to keep up the good work. We want to say thankyou for coming

23.01.2022 Late night Saturday mass.

22.01.2022 Easter long weekend the Gaol is open. Hours are normal 10am - 4pm.

22.01.2022 LOOK WHATS NEW!! We now do EFTPOS!! YAY!!

22.01.2022 Rose garden booming away. Second rose bush has buds on it too

21.01.2022 Check out our new stubby coolers. $10 each.

21.01.2022 Lovely little boquet of flowers I picked from my garden to put in Matrons room. One of the little traditions Mel and I have. Be great when we get garden up and looking good so we can pick flowers for her room.

20.01.2022 2 disappointing things occured at the Gaol yesterday. 1. A man that travels on his bike, had his wallet stolen from his bike while it was parked in the gaol for a short time. Its disappointing to have a theif here. Yes its a gaol and you belong in one, but doesnt give you the rights to go through someones stuff and steal. This gentleman had all his money in that wallet so you have just ruined his living money. 2. Someone vandalised one of the cells. Yes you broke through the tape that says dont enter, but a piece has been cut. Yes its only tape, but its the principal of look dont touch. We have things up for all to enjoy. We dont want to stop having a few fun things around but we will if kids dont respect the gaol. Here is hoping today is a better day.

20.01.2022 Attention: There will be interruption to our phone this week as we organise change of ownership and NBN. Any enquiries call Bhel 0447811227 Or... Mel 0457529261 Thankyou for your patience. See more

20.01.2022 Our rose garden section at the back of the Gaol is starting to come alive. Many thanks to donations etc. Special thanks goes to Helen Muggleton and Faye Wear for their hard work and dedication to make this come alive. You two ladies are amazing. Heaps more progress shots to follow.

Thanks again for all your support since reopening in June. We will have a belated Christmas show next year. Regards caretakers of the Gladstone Gaol.

11.01.2022 Hi Everyone, As most of you know by now, the Gaol has slowly been taken over by new Caretakers. All will be revealed down the track as to who they are, but please drop in for a chat and a look around and get to know these lovely new people who will go out of their way to make you feel more than welcome! Fe and Tony have now moved away interstate and we wish them all the best for the future, but Deb, Rose and Reena, will still be here for quite a while yet, to help out a couple of days a week. It has been very difficult for the Gaol because of Covid 19, just like most people and businesses, but please continue to support this local tourist industry so we can get back on our feet and keep the doors open for years to come for all of your parties, weddings, family get togethers, car clubs, bike clubs and much, much more. Thanks Everyone!!

01.01.2022 You dont have to look far to see the devastating effect COVID-19 is having in Victoria. We know how quickly COVID-19 can spread and thats why we are taking swift action to keep South Australians safe. From midnight tonight, new restrictions on residential private gatherings and the service of food and drinks will come into effect.... Residential private gatherings will be limited to 10 people. Patrons must be seated in cafes, restaurants and licensed venues when consuming food and drinks. New_restrictions_explainer.jpg Further sensible increases to restrictions are being considered to help stop the spread. We are acting on expert advice to keep the people of South Australia safe, while keeping our economy moving forward. Testing rates have been exceptional over the past few weeks, and we want this continue. If you have any cold or flu symptoms, please get tested - either at a COVID-19 testing clinic, a drive through facility, or a mobile testing station. Thank you for your patience and cooperation. signatures_steven_blue.jpg STEVEN MARSHALL Premier of South Australia
