Between 1804 and 1853, the small island of Tasmania received 74,000 convicts from Britain, including 13,000 women. Convict Places looks at how convicts and their labour created the new colony.

This comprehensive guide will be a valuable resource for all Tasmanians, whether or not they count a convict in their ancestry (many of us do). It will also be useful for visitors, providing detailed information about the state's better known convict places, as well as those off the beaten track.

Amply illulstrated with paintings, maps, plans, colonial records and photographs, Convict Places will give you an insight into the sustem that transported so many thousands of people across the ocean to the other side of the world.
