Background
Berrima Gaol is a heritage-listed former prison in Berrima, New South Wales. Established in 1839, it was used for a variety of prison and internment purposes until its final closure in 2020, at which point it was the oldest Australian correctional facility in operation. The site was subsequently sold to a Sydney property developer in 2022.
