About Old Victoria Hospital Heritage Trail, Geraldton
With many of the original buildings still standing, this site has has a unique history, evolving from a convict depot originally built in 1857, to a long serving gaol and hospital site. This trail includes the opportunity to enjoy memorabilia displays at the old Victoria Hospital, along with arts and craft sales at the Old Gaol. Weekend Markets are also held regularly at this site.
