Step inside H Division at the former Pentridge Prison in Coburg, Melbourne, on an evening guided tour for visitors aged 16 and over. Once a maximum-security unit, H Division tells a notoriously dark and grim chapter of Australia's history, and this night tour brings it to life. An experienced live guide shares stories about the prison's past, while audio recordings from former inmates and guards give firsthand accounts of life inside the unit. You walk through H Division's cells and exercise yards and learn about the prison's role in Melbourne's criminal justice system and the conditions faced by those who lived and worked there. The tour lasts about 1 hour 30 minutes and starts at the tour office in the former Warders' Residence, in the grassed courtyard at the Clock Tower entrance on Champ Street. Arrive 15 minutes before your tour time, as latecomers are not admitted. The tour is run by the National Trust of Australia (Victoria), and smartphone tickets are accepted.
