Why go
This UNESCO-listed building makes early colonial systems tangible through its architecture. Sparse dormitory rooms, excavated objects and layered evidence show how convicts, immigrant women and other residents occupied the same complex over time. The interpretation can be emotionally demanding, so allow enough time for the audio experience rather than fitting the barracks between quick exterior stops.
