Werribee Park Investigation Saturday 7th December 2024
Thank you to the 7 brave investigators who joined me to explore the buildings of Werribee Park.
We started our night in the men’s shed where we had hits on the REM pod and saw the tag of a fire extinguisher move on its own with no breeze.
We moved onto the blacksmiths forge where we had lots of ghost meter hits. We moved onto the stables where we had weird feelings and ghost meter hits. We then moved onto Bellengers cottage where we had a few people feel a little dizzy. We then made our way to the Chirnside homestead, where we heard footsteps and loud banging noises.
Thank you again and hope to see you soon.

Local Melbourne band Choof spent an evening recently at the Old Geelong Gaol working on a film clip for their new song
‘Bird Cage & Forgotten/Despised’.

A classic Aussie crime drama gets absolutely riffed on - literally and figuratively - for this week’s video from Choof, ‘Bird Cage & Forgotten/Despised’.

End of the Rope: Shadows of Capital Punishment

This exhibition is a collaboration between the National Crime & Justice Museum—Geelong Gaol, Pentridge Voices, and Veronica and Chris Allen . Chris Allen created the photography installations with Veronica’s grandson, Rhys, who portrays Ronald Ryan.

Most people are familiar with images of Ryan being arrested or his mug shots. He was much more than that, and he was much more than the last man hanged in Australia on the 3 of February 1967. This interactive exhibition aims to showcase his life’s journey and provide educational opportunities.

The exhibition will feature a series of photographs that re-enact Ryan’s final moments and artefacts that have never been seen before. Visitors can also experience Dr Atalanti Dionysus’ virtual reality docudrama, ‘A Miscarriage of Justice’, which virtually takes spectators to the gallows to witness the ex*****on. Also displayed will be archival images and recorded testimonies from individuals present during the ex*****on, curated by Pentridge Voices.

On opening night, Veronica Allen, Ryan’s niece, will share her memories and experiences with her grandmother, Ryan’s mother, Cecilia, after his ex*****on. The exhibition runs from 1 January to 30 April 2025 at the National Crime & Justice Museum—Geelong Gaol.

Opening Night Saturday, 1 February 2025.

If you wish to attend, please contact the National Crime & Justice Museum at [email protected] or call 1300 865 800.
