Colony’s first Rebellion and Asylum<br />
Castle Hill Heritage Park, end of Heritage Park Drive<br />
Castle Hill Government Farm opened in 1801 and a stone<br />
barracks was built by 1804 to house the mainly Irish convicts.<br />
The Irish rebelled on 4 March 1804 and on 5 March took part<br />
in the Battle of Vinegar Hill. This was the first use of martial<br />
law in the Colony. After the convicts left in 1811 the barracks<br />
became the first asylum in the Colony. A re-enactment of the<br />
rebellion will occur. Food and drinks available for sale.<br />
