    Coal Mines Historic Site

    Saltwater RiverAustralia1833

    The Coal Mines Historic Site near Saltwater River on Tasmania's Tasman Peninsula was established in 1833 as Van Diemen's Land's first operational coal mine and premier secondary punishment station. As part of the UNESCO World Heritage Australian Convict Sites listing, the desolate stone ruins and subterranean punishment cells bear silent witness to extreme convict suffering, brutal hard labor, and pervasive ghost encounters.
