Original Gold Rush Colony, Mogo South Coast NSW Australia

You will find The Original Gold Rush Colony at 26 James Street Mogo, behind the small regional township of Mogo, just 200 metres up Annett St. from the Princes Highway.

The Gaol (Jail) in the Original Gold Rush Colony Mogo between Batemans Bay and Moruya, is part of Batemans Bay history, as it is the most recently decommissioned lock-up of the area.  Previously this transportable holding cell was used in the Snowy Scheme and in Goulburn.

The Butcher's Gallis at the Original Gold Rush Colony is a reminder of how beasts may be slaughtered and meat prepared. Most Home Kill on farms is still hung this way, but in more hygienic conditions.
