Convict Trail Project welcome's World Heritage Listing
The Convict Trail Project is celebrating the fact the UNESCO's World Heritage Committee meeting has accepted Australia's nomination for the inclusion of eleven Convict sites on the World Heritage List.
This nomination includes a significant part of the Great North Road, specifically the road up Devines Hill and Finch's Line on the northern side of the Hawkesbury River. These sites contain some spectacular convict-built road works including buttressed walls that are actually drains to take the water away from the walls on Devines Hill. The Great North Road now joins other significant sites such as Port Arthur and parts of Norfolk Island on the World Heritage List.
