Take a look inside
HAVE you ever wondered what the inside of a former courthouse looks like?
As part of Victorian Law Week, three local historical societies will hold open days at buildings across the district that once were courthouses.
The courthouses, located at Port Fairy, Penshurst and Macarthur, will be open to the public over the weekend of May 25 and 26.
Enjoy a leisurely drive between the three and take advantage of the opportunity to stand in the dock and bring each courtroom to life.
The former Port Fairy courthouse can be found at 30 Gipps Street, Penshurst at 33 Martin Street and Macarthur at 31 High Street.
The courthouses will be open between 11am and 4pm, with a small admission fee which covers entry to all three venues.
