March 2024 marks 2 years since Boggo Road Gaol closed - just as Queensland had reopened following Covid. Over that time there was no reason why tours, functions and events could not have been conducted at the Gaol. Watch this video on the Boggo Road Gaol Youtube channel. 

For 10 years we operated the Gaol 7 days a week providing unprecedented community access to the historic prison. Currently the heritage-listed Gaol’s forecourt is being used as carpark for workers. Graffiti is appearing on the walls. Our guides and staff - including former prisoners and officers - living history connected to the Gaol – are in a state of limbo. It is utterly unfair.

Prior to Covid Boggo Road Gaol Pty Ltd won Best of Queensland Awards in 2017, 2018, 2019. We need to get the Gaol reopened for our popular history tours, school and university students, community and non-profit organisations, film productions, events and functions, interstate tour operators and cruise ships.
