The Convict Tramway was a tramway that ran from Norfolk Bay to Port Arthur, Tasmania. The tramway was the first passenger-carrying railway in Australia.
Started in 1836, the carriages of tramway were pushed by Port Arthur convicts. The tramway was created to replace the hazardous sea voyage from Hobart to Port Arthur. Charles O'Hara Booth oversaw the construction of tramway.
