The ruins of this penal colliery on the Tasman Peninsula provide a grim insight into one extreme of convict life in the Australia colonies during the early 1800s.
The Coal Mines Historic Site demonstrates the economic value of convict labour. It was one of several places established on the Peninsula to exploit natural resources, and punish and reform convicts. This significant convict site was included in the National Heritage List on 1 August 2007.
