  • 1. The Ship That Never Was Strahan
    The West Coast of Tasmania has a significant convict heritage. The use of the West Coast as an outpost to house convicts in isolated penal settlements occurred in the era 1822–33, and 1846–47. The main locations were Sarah Island and Grummet Island in Macquarie Harbour. The entrance to Macquarie Harbour was known as Hells Gates and the play on this name has travelled from its naming in the 1830s to Paul Collin's book published in 2002.

The prison's existence was for only 15 years, but its hold on the imagination have spawned a significant literature.
