Cecilia Curtain is one our prisoners at Geelong Gaol, being incarcerated there in 1893 as part of one of her many sentences.

She has always fascinated me with her eye patch over her right eye, wondering what had happened to her to cause such an injury. I will tell you what I think during the podcast.

Cecilia's story relates to a couple of other crimes that made headlines at the time of their occurrence - one of murder and one of a gold robbery. One of these stories is told in more detail in the episode titled The Body in the Window about bushranger George Melville.
