Nestled in the tranquil bushland of Tasmania's Tasman Peninsula, the Coal Mines Historic Site offers a poignant glimpse into Australia's convict past. Established in 1833, it was Tasmania's first operational mine and served as a penal station until 1848. Today, visitors can explore well-preserved ruins, including convict barracks, solitary cells, and the remains of the chapel, all set against the serene backdrop of Little Norfolk Bay. The site is part of the Australian Convict Sites World Heritage Property, reflecting its historical significance.
