Maria Island, off Tasmania's east coast, operated as a convict penal settlement from 1825 to 1832 — established to ease overcrowding at Hobart — before closing due to frequent escapes and reopening as a probation station from 1842 to 1850. Darlington, at the island's north, is today regarded as the most intact surviving example of a convict probation station in Australia, and is UNESCO World Heritage-listed as part of the Australian Convict Sites.
