History

Maria Island is located off the east coast of Tasmania. The island operated as a convict penal settlement (the second to be established in Van Diemen’s Land) between 1825 and 1832. In 1884, the whole island was leased to Angelo Guilio Diego Bernacchi, an Italian silk merchant. The Maria Island Leasing Act was passed on 24 November 1884 granting Bernacchi a lease from 1 January 1885 for ten years at one shilling a year.
