Tour Summary:
In 1801, a convict camp called King's Town (named after Governor King) was established to mine coal and cut timber. In the same year, the first shipment of coal was dispatched to Sydney. ... The settlement was named Coal River, also Kingstown and then renamed Newcastle, after England's famous coal port.
