Tales of Boggo Road Gaol with Jack Sim

Jack Sim and the Queensland Police Museum present Tales of Boggo Road Gaol with Jack Sim. 

This month’s storyteller, Jack Sim, was born and grew up in Brisbane in the late 20th century and from an early age was fascinated with “dark history” – accidents, tragedies, war, mysteries, ghosts and hauntings, crime, murder, prisons and asylums.

Through ‘Historic Australia’ Jack is well known for his tours and ‘experiences’ centred around history, cemetery, ghost and crime. Jack started Brisbane Ghost Tours in 1998, and for 10 years he operated tours of the Boggo Road Gaol (Jail).

Jack Sim is also a familiar face and voice across various media platforms. He regularly contributes to TV shows, podcasts, and radio programs, and has lent his voice and expertise to national and international documentaries and short films. He’s a prolific writer, with his works published in various journals, magazines, and newspapers. He also maintains a blog and has authored several books, including Ghost Trails, Murder Trails and Boggo Road Gaol Series.

As 2026 approaches, Jack eagerly anticipates the reopening of the Boggo Road Gaol site. He’s excited to once again share the thrilling tales of the Gaol and will recount some of these at this Queensland Police Museum’s free Sunday Stories event on Sunday 29 June.

All are welcome to this free ticketed event.
