Description

The Tuncurry Afforestation camp, established in 1913, was the first prison of its kind in New South Wales. Its purpose was to provide prisoners with a more rehabilitative form of prison life and opportunities to engage in work that would offer skills that could be used to gain employment upon release. Tuncurry closed in 1938 and the camp was demolished.
