Description

When this prison first opened in 1863 it was called Sandhurst Gaol, as this was Bendigo's official name until 1891, although locally the town was already being referred to as Bendigo. The gaol originally housed up to 80 male and female prisoners, but after 1896 all female prisoners were transferred to Pentridge Prison in Melbourne. Apart from an interlude between 1939 and 1953 when the prison was used as a military detention centre, the facility was used continuously as a prison until its closure in 2006. In 2015 the site reopened as the 1000-seat Ulumbarra Theatre.
