Australian Convict Sites is a World Heritage property consisting of 11 remnant penal sites originally built within the British Empire during the 18th and 19th centuries on fertile Australian coastal strips at Sydney, Tasmania, Norfolk Island, and Fremantle; now representing "...the best surviving examples of large-scale convict transportation and the colonial expansion of European powers through the presence and labour of convicts." These properties were all individually included on the Australian National Heritage List before inclusion on the World Heritage list. Preparations began in 1995, and a World Heritage nomination was first made in January 2008. That attempt failed, and the nomination was subsequently reworked. ==Penal sites included== The 11 penal sites constituting the Australian Convict Sites World Heritage listed property are * Cockatoo Island Convict Site (New South Wales) * Great North Road (New South Wales)〔http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage/places/national/north-road/index.html〕 * Hyde Park Barracks (New South Wales)〔http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage/places/national/hyde-park/index.html〕 * Old Government House (New South Wales)〔http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage/places/national/old-government-house/index.html〕 * Kingston and Arthurs Vale Historic Area (Norfolk Island)〔http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage/places/national/kavha/index.html〕 * Brickendon and Woolmers Estates (Tasmania)〔http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage/places/national/brickendon-estate/index.html〕〔http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage/places/national/woolmers-estate/index.html〕 * Cascades Female Factory (Tasmania) * Coal Mines Historic Site (Tasmania)〔http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage/places/national/coal-mines/index.html〕 * Darlington Probation Station (Tasmania)〔http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage/places/national/darlington-probation-stn/index.html〕 * Port Arthur (Tasmania) * Fremantle Prison (Western Australia)〔http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage/places/national/fremantle-prison/index.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Australian Convict Sites」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
