reform is evident in the Protestant and Catholic
clergyman's quarters.

The settlement patterns are evident in the existing street layout and in the
buildings along Quality Row which form the most extensive street of pre 1850
penal buildings in Australia. The functioning of the settlement is evident in the
remains of institutions, buildings and precincts such as the commandant's
house; magistrate's quarters; the ruins of the hospital, built on First Settlement
remains (1829); the Surgeon's quarters and kitchen (1827), on the site of a
First Settlement Government House, one of the earliest European dwellings in
Australia; the Royal Engineer's office and stables (1850); the Beach Store, a
former commissariat store (1825); a double boat shed (1841); the Police
Office, now boatshed (1828-29); the flaghouse (1840s); Constable's Quarters,
partly standing (1850-53); and the cemetery which has an outstanding
collection of headstones and other remains dating from the earliest period of
European settlement, including the first and second penal settlement periods
and the Pitcairn period with

associations with the Bounty, set in an evocative and picturesque historical
landscape. Many stone walls, wells, drains, building platforms, bridges
including Bloody Bridge, culverts, roads, quarry sites, privies and
archaeological sites of former buildings remain which are important in
demonstrating the rich patterns of KAVHA's settlement history. The remnant
serpentine landscape is an outstanding example of colonial period (pre-1850)
attitudes to landscape design in Australia.

KAVHA is outstanding for its picturesque setting, historic associations, part
ruinous configuration and subsequent lack of development. The aesthetic
qualities of the landscape have been acknowledged since the First Settlement,
forming the subject matter of an artistic record that has continued to the
present.

Elements that contribute to the aesthetic qualities of the place include the sea,
reef and islands, historic graves, Quality Row buildings, the New Gaol and
prisoner's barracks in a ruinous state, and the extent of the nineteenth century
buildings. The picturesque landscape setting, with its domestic scale and
agricultural character, is valued for the contrast it represents between the
horror of the past and the charm of the present.

KAVHA is outstanding for its views across the site, within the site, from the
