I remember when a family relative got a job at the ABS in canberra. My wife and I went past to take a photo of the building to send to the extended family. Very quickly a security guard came out to tell use that we weren't to take photos.

This has got me thinking... What types of building aren't you allowed (or maybe heavily discouraged) from taking photos of?

The reason I am asking is that I am interested in going to the jail here in Goulburn and taking a few of the towers, front gate (original sandstone) and the alike. And of course just to make it even more seemingly "dodgy" I would loved to go at night, trying to get the moon rising over the front gate.

Look I suppose I could just go park in the car park and walk around taking photos but I wanted to know if anybody had any thoughts first.

Cheers
