Overview

A new view awaits on the Tower Tour at Maitland Gaol. Rise seven meters up a spiral staircase to reveal not only a unique perspective of the Gaol below, but also its surroundings.

These armed posts provided a birds eye view to the day to day life below, and were responsible for the safety of fellow officers and security of the site. As you move along the catwalk your guide will explore how the towers were operated as a security measure, when they were used in a crisis and the working conditions for staff that occupied them.

Take a moment to enjoy the views into East Maitland and beyond as your guide provides context to Maitland Gaol’s location and the buildings in close proximity, that you’ll see like never before. As you prepare to descend hear about the unrest in the 1970s and what new security technologies was introduced to maintain the balance of power at Maitland Gaol.
