St Helena Island, Moreton Bay 'An historical account' - Book
Posted on behalf of the President of the Queensland Prison & Penal Historical Association.
St Helena Island, Moreton Bay 'An historical account' which is available at State Library bookshop took out the prestigous gold heritage award for a volunteer project at the National Trust Heritage Awards at Old Government House on the 25th August, 2011.
The book is also available through the website www.sthelenaisland.net. Sales from this publication help fund preservation work at St Helena Island.
National Trust wrote: "For a well researched and cohesive publication which balances reproduced images, plans, correspondence and file reports of this colonial-era island prison with its historical narrative. The product of many hours of volunteer labour, this project makes a key contribution to public knowledge of the St Helena penal settlement, its remaining structures and the lives led by its inmates and their prison custodians."
