| Inside Trail Bay Gaol |
When we camped at Trial Bay Gaol Campground the annual Sculpture in the Gaol was on. For the normal admission price we were able to explore the historical aspects of the gaol with the added bonus of a huge array of mostly quirky statues.

Men of German descent were sent to Trial Bay Gaol during the First World War and the monument on the hill overlooking the gaol was built as a tribute to those who died during their internment.

When we arrived at Little Bay Picnic Area, rather than return the way we had come we returned via a section of the Bridle Trail and then made our way along the Powder Magazine Walking Track.
