Wrong link to 'Sydney Gaol'

The link points to 'Darlinghurst Gaol' - which wasn't even built until after the events described in this article. The gaol referred to would be the original Sydney gaol that was on the corner of George & Essex in the Rocks.

see: https://dictionaryofsydney.org/place/sydney_gaol

"The gaol at Sydney Cove was built of timber logs provided by settlers. With a thatched roof, It had 22 cells and a separate brick building for debtors. The gaol was destroyed by fire in early 1799 and then rebuilt in sandstone. Behind a high wall on the corner of George and Essex Streets in the Rocks, it housed both male and female prisoners. Executions took place in its grounds, viewable by the public who could watch from a nearby hill. The gaol became overcrowded and dilapidated but stayed open until 1841 when prisoners were removed to the new Darlinghust Gaol and subsequently demolished." 114.77.121.140 (talk) 22:58, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
