The Absolute Bottom...

Imagine living with two other people, possibly for life, in a sandstone cage that measures 6x10 feet. To add to your pleasure if you are sleeping on the bottom bunk, you are exactly 2 inches away from the toilet if any of your friends have some business to take care off. Pleasant confines in the Aussie Summer without even a fan, nor in the winter a heater. Alas, huge cockroaches, rats and spiders share you space to top off your day. Where can you find this beautiful place you ask? The well know confines of one of Australia's oldest and hardest maximum security prisons, "The Maitland Gaol." The most suprising thing to know about this place is that it opened in 1840 for English convicts and kept running until.......wait for it.....1998!! Truly an eye opening experience if there is one, it also doubles as a paranormal psychic tour at night due to the large amounts of inmate murders that occurred over the 150 years of use. Enjoy the pics..
