Fannie Bay Gaol is a historic gaol in Darwin Australia. The gaol operated as Her Majesty’s Gaol and Labour Prison from 20 September 1883 until 1 September 1979. The last executions in Darwin were held at Fannie Bay Gaol in 1952 when Jerry Coci and Jonus Novotny Czechoslovakian immigrants were hanged for the murder of a taxi driver. The gallows were constructed especially for this execution in the infirmary.
