Saltwater River, Tasmania
Saltwater River (also known as Saltwater Creek) is a former penal colony on the Tasman Peninsula in Tasmania, Australia. It is 23 kilometres from Port Arthur, and 106 kilometres from Hobart. At the 2006 census, Saltwater River had a population of 156. The Saltwater River area contained two penal settlements. One was an agricultural settlement, which produced vegetables, wheat, and had a piggery. The other was a coal mine, known amongst convicts for its hellish conditions.
Coal Mines Historic Site
Coal Mines Historic Site was, for a period of 15 years (1833–48), a convict probation station and the site of Tasmania's first operational coal mine, "serving as a place of punishment for the 'worst class' of convicts from Port Arthur".
