Za nen\u00e1padn\u00fdmi kamenn\u00fdmi m\u00farmi v srdci austr\u00e1lskeho mesta Dubbo sa skr\u00fdva miesto, kde o\u017e\u00edva temn\u00e1 hist\u00f3ria. Old Dubbo Gaol je v\u00e4znica z 19. storo\u010dia, ktor\u00e1 zostala takmer nedotknut\u00e1 a dnes je v nej p\u00fatav\u00e9 m\u00fazeum, ktor\u00e9 n\u00e1v\u0161tevn\u00edkom rozpr\u00e1va pr\u00edbeh o smutnej \u010dasti dej\u00edn a menej \u0161\u0165astn\u00fdch obyvate\u013eoch kontinentu.<\/p>\n

Historick\u00e1 v\u00e4znica v Dubbo za\u010d\u00ednala skromne. V polovici 19. storo\u010dia tu st\u00e1l len mal\u00fd dreven\u00fd proviz\u00f3rny v\u00e4zensk\u00fd dom\u010dek s dvoma mali\u010dk\u00fdmi celami a str\u00e1\u017enou miestnos\u0165ou. Ako v\u0161ak meste\u010dko r\u00e1stlo a prib\u00fadalo obyvate\u013eov, st\u00fapal aj po\u010det zlo\u010dinov vyvolan\u00fdch chamtivos\u0165ou, hladom \u010di biedou.<\/p>\n

Miestne \u00farady preto \u017eal\u00e1r postupne roz\u0161irovali a budovali pevnej\u0161ie m\u00fary. Koncom 19. storo\u010dia sa are\u00e1l rozr\u00e1stol o samostatn\u00e9 oddelenie pre \u017eeny, byt pre hlavn\u00e9ho dozorcu a vysok\u00e9 str\u00e1\u017ene ve\u017ee. Z p\u00f4vodn\u00e9ho policajn\u00e9ho v\u00e4zenia sa stal ofici\u00e1lny \u00fastav so st\u00e1lym riadite\u013eom.<\/p>\n

\u017divot za mre\u017eami Dubbo Gaol nebol v\u00f4bec jednoduch\u00fd. Tresty v koloni\u00e1lnej \u00e9re b\u00fdvali nemilosrdn\u00e9 a brutalita tunaj\u0161ej v\u00e4znice \u0161okovala aj t\u00fdch najostrie\u013eanej\u0161\u00edch zlo\u010dincov. V\u00e4zni tr\u00e1vili dni v stiesnen\u00fdch kamenn\u00fdch cel\u00e1ch a na dvore museli vykon\u00e1va\u0165 jednotv\u00e1rne pr\u00e1ce. Viacer\u00ed sa pok\u00fasili o \u00fatek, no ich odv\u00e1\u017ene pl\u00e1ny sa v\u00e4\u010d\u0161inou skon\u010dili fiaskom.<\/p>\n

E\u0161te temnej\u0161ou kapitolou boli popravy. Na dubbskej \u0161ibenici obesili postupne nieko\u013eko ods\u00faden\u00fdch vrahov. Prv\u00fdm z nich bol Thomas Newman, ktor\u00e9ho dokonca pochovali priamo na v\u00e4zenskom dvore, a posledn\u00e1 poprava sa uskuto\u010dnila za\u010diatkom 20. storo\u010dia.<\/p>\n

V 60. rokoch 20. storo\u010dia bola zastaran\u00e1 v\u00e4znica definit\u00edvne uzavret\u00e1 a zvy\u0161n\u00fdch v\u00e4z\u0148ov previezli do modernej\u0161\u00edch zariaden\u00ed. Historick\u00e9ho are\u00e1lu sa v\u0161ak ujali miestni nad\u0161enci, ktor\u00ed ho zrekon\u0161truovali a u\u017e v roku 1974 otvorili ako \u017eiv\u00e9 m\u00fazeum a turistick\u00fa atrakciu. Odvtedy sa Old Dubbo Gaol vyprofiloval na jedno z najvyh\u013ead\u00e1vanej\u0161\u00edch l\u00e1kadiel regi\u00f3nu a cestovate\u013eom pon\u00faka jedine\u010dn\u00fd, hoci mraziv\u00fd z\u00e1\u017eitok.<\/p>\n

Dne\u0161n\u00e1 n\u00e1v\u0161teva Old Dubbo Gaol je strhuj\u00facou cestou v \u010dase. N\u00e1jdete tu zachovan\u00e9 cely, m\u00fary \u010di ve\u017ee, ktor\u00e9 vyzeraj\u00fa takmer rovnako ako pred sto rokmi.

Na v\u00e4zenskom dvore si mo\u017eno vysk\u00fa\u0161a\u0165 cvi\u010debn\u00fd priestor, kde v\u00e4zni pochodovali pri monot\u00f3nnych cvikoch a ka\u017ed\u00fa zmenu drilu ohlasoval hvizd str\u00e1\u017enej p\u00ed\u0161\u0165alky.
