Towrang Convict Stockade, Heritage penal site in Towrang, Australia.

The Towrang Convict Stockade encompasses stone structures, including a powder magazine, bridge, and seven culverts along the Old Hume Highway.

Between 1838 and 1843, this penal establishment housed up to seventy convicts in chains who constructed sections of the Great South Road.

The remaining headstones in the stockade cemetery document the lives of soldiers and civilians who were part of this colonial settlement.

Visitors can obtain self-guided tour brochures from the Goulburn Information Centre to explore the historical structures across multiple locations.

The powder magazine, partially carved into rock near the Wollondilly River, stored explosives used for road construction through challenging terrain.
