At Bayview Park in Concord, the Canadian Exiles Monument commemorates 58 French-speaking Canadian convicts exiled to New South Wales in 1840 for their role in the 1837-1838 uprisings in Lower Canada. Unveiled by Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau in 1970, the monument was relocated to its current site in 1984, near the original landing point of the convicts. The area honors their history through the names of Exile Bay, France Bay, and Canada Bay. The monument's inscription details their journey and the significance of their presence in the region.
