Redruth Gaol
History
Redruth Gaol was erected in 1856 at a cost of £3200 and was the first gaol in South Australia outside of Adelaide. The Gaol was closed in 1894 and the prisoners transferred to Gladstone Gaol. In 1897, the Gaol was restored and reopened as a girls reformatory but closed in 1922. The Gaol is famous for the filming of the 1979 movie Breaker Morant.
