Brickendon Tours and Tickets

Learn about Tasmania’s convict history at Brickendon Estate, one of 11 penal sites in Australia where those condemned by the British justice system were sent to work in the 18th and 19th centuries. Built in 1824 by a man named William Archer, the 1,150-acre (465-hectare) farm is still owned and operated by his descendants, who provide a tangible link to this part of Australian history.
