Unveiled in 2017, the statue by Rowan Gillespie commemorates convict women transported to Van Diemen Land and their children. Between 1803 and 1853 almost 13,000 women and 2,000 children reached the country.
On the pedestal of the monument are the names of the ships that transported the prisoners and the names of women, their ages and what they were sentenced for.
