World Heritage list
Darlington Probation Station was a convict penal settlement on Maria Island, Tasmania (then Van Diemen's Land), from 1825 to 1832, then later a convict probation station during the last phase of convict management in eastern Australia (1842–1850).[2]
A number of the buildings and structures have survived from this earlier era relatively intact and in good condition,[2] and of the 78 convict probation stations once built in Tasmania, the buildings and structures at Maria Island are regarded as "the most outstanding representative example",[2] of such cultural significance they've been formally inscribed onto the Australian National Heritage List[3] and UNESCO's World Heritage list[4] as amongst:
" .. the best surviving examples of large-scale convict transportation and the colonial expansion of European powers through the presence and labour of convicts."[5]
