Old Geelong Gaol. HM Prison Geelong was a maximum security Australia prison located on the corner of Myers Street and Swanston Street in Geelong Victoria Australia. The prison was built in stages from 1849 to 1864. Its panopticon design is based on Pentonville Prison in England. The prison was officially closed in 1991 and prisoners were moved to the newly built HM Prison Barwon in Lara.(Wikipedia)
