Lynton Convict Hiring Depot, Heritage convict depot in Shire of Northampton, Australia.
The limestone structures and foundations of Lynton Convict Hiring Depot stand near the Hutt River mouth, 7.6 kilometers from Gregory town.
Established in 1853, the depot processed 60 ticket-of-leave convicts and Pensioner Guards, becoming the first convict facility north of Fremantle.
The depot supported regional development by distributing convict labor to the Geraldine Mine and local pastoral stations across Western Australia.
Visitors access the archaeological remains through designated pathways, with informational panels explaining the various building foundations and historical context.
Thomas Leonowens served at this depot, where his son Louis was born, before his wife Anna became teacher to the royal children of Siam.
