These three hangings were of course at the Ararat County Gaol, which closed in 1886 (and reopened in 1887 as J Ward, the section of the Ararat Asylum used to house the criminally insane). The construction of Her Majesty's Prison Ararat post-dates the hangings by more than 80 years and I believe also the last capital punishment carried out anywhere in Australia.MrAngy (talk) 05:46, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
