The Australian Convict Sites, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Australia, encompass historic locations that reveal the nation’s colonial past and the global story of forced migration. These sites, including prisons, barracks, and workyards, were built and inhabited by convicts transported from Britain between 1788 and 1868. Featuring Georgian architecture and stark landscapes, they illustrate the harsh realities of penal life and early settlement. This collection stands as a powerful testament to human endurance, punishment, and the shaping of modern Australia.
