    31 July 2020 Fremantle Prison Celebrates 10 Years As Perth's Only World Heritage Listed Site. Fremantle Prison Will This Week

    31 July 2020 Fremantle Prison celebrates 10 years as Perth’s only World Heritage Listed Site. Fremantle Prison will this week celebrate the 10th anniversary of their World Heritage listing as part of the Australian Convict Sites. Inscribed on the prestigious World Heritage List on 31 July 2010, the Australian Convict Sites, which includes 11 properties from around Australia, tell an important story about the forced migration of over 168,000 men, women and children from Britain to Australia during the late 18th and 19th centuries. Fremantle Prison Heritage Conservation Manager, and current Chair of the Australian World Heritage Advisory Committee, Luke Donegan, said, “Fremantle Prison is a monument to the development of Western Australia as we know it today.” “It is the most intact convict-built cell range in the nation and was the last convict establishment constructed in Australia.” The Australian Convict Sites World Heritage Property also includes Cockatoo Island Convict Site, Sydney, NSW (1839–69); Hyde Park Barracks, Sydney, NSW (1819–48); Kingston and Arthur’s Vale Historic Area, Norfolk Island (active 1788–1814 and 1824–55); Old Government House and Domain, Parramatta Park, NSW (1788– 1856); and the Old Great North Road, Wiseman’s Ferry, NSW (1828–35). Brickendon-Woolmers Estates, Longford (1820–50s); Darlington Probation Station, Maria Island National Park (1825–32 and 1842–50); Cascades Female Factory, Mount Wellington (1828–56); Port Arthur Historic Site, Port Arthur (1830–77); and Coal Mines Historic Site, Norfolk Bay (1833–48). Fremantle Prison marks the place where the practice of forced migration through transportation ceased with the arrival of the convict ship Hougoumont in January 1868, and is an essential part of the Australian convict story.

    Australian Convict Sites

    17 PART 2 DESCRIPTION The 11 sites that constitute the ‘property’ are spread across Australia, from Fremantle in the west to Kingston and Arthur’s Vale in the east, a distance of 5,500 kilometres, and from Old Great North Road in the north to Port Arthur in the south, a distance of 1,500 kilometres. Australia's rich convict history is well represented by approximately 3,000 remaining sites distributed across several States and Territories. The assessment to establish the most representative sites drew on a wide body of research to locate a complete representation of all the significant elements which together express all the elements of outstanding universal value. The sites span several climatic zones (from Mediterranean in the west to temperate in the south and sub-tropical in the mid-north), cover four time zones and are connected by a network of maritime routes throughout the Indian, Southern and Pacific oceans. Each of the sites represent key elements of the forced migration of convicts and is associated with global ideas and practices relating to the punishment and reform of the criminal elements of society during the modern era. 18 2.A DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY Kingston and Arthur’s Vale Historic Area (KAVHA) Norfolk Island (1788–1814 and 1824–55) The site is on Norfolk Island, an outposted penal station of New South Wales (NSW) over two periods, the second as a place of punishment for re-offending convicts. Some female convicts were sent there in its earlier years but the overwhelming number of convicts were male. KAVHA comprises more than 40 buildings, groups of buildings, substantial ruins and archaeological remains set within 225 hectares of relatively undisturbed land.

    Australia: Convict Heritage Sites

    Australia: Convict Heritage Sites Eureka Heinrich What Remains? Between 1787 and 1868 over 160,000 convict men, women and children were transported to Australia, a movement that Robert Hughes described as “the largest forced exile of citizens at the behest of a European government in modern history.” In Sydney town, the first of these exiles built their own homes, started families and established businesses while working to obtain their ticket-of- leave. As the system of transportation grew more tightly controlled, male convicts laboured to build government barracks where officers could better regulate their work and day-to-day lives. For those who absconded, or committed other crimes, fearsome places of secondary punishment were established. These isolated outposts, although notorious for their harsh punishments, in many ways mirrored those on the mainland. Settlements grew around convict-built barracks, prisons and storehouses, and convicts were also set to work exploiting natural resources such as coal and timber to fuel the colonial project. Female convicts worked and lived within female factories, institutions which exacted their labour in pursuits such as oakum picking whilst aiming to “reform” them for domestic service or marriage. Free settlers benefitted from the labour of male and female convicts assigned to them, and they lived alongside each other in homesteads and farms. Convicts also laboured to build roads, grand houses for governors and public buildings such as hospitals and churches. Much of this physical evidence of the system of convict transportation has since been demolished. Bricks were re-purposed for other buildings, and sites built over and forgotten, reflecting the desire of many colonists to erase the memory of their society’s penal origins.
