FANNIE BAY REVAMP

Discussions  continue  about    ways  to   make  Darwin’s  historic  Fannie  Bay Gaol   more  attractive , with  lively new exhibits , possibly  even using  it  for wedding  photograph  shoots  .  Built   in  1883 ,  the  prison  closed  in 1979  and  was  turned into a museum.  A  hanging took place there  in  1952 when  Czechoslovakian  migrant  Jerry  Koci  and Romanian  born  Jonus  Novotny  murdered  a  taxi driver . The gallows are still  in  place .
