The Castle Hill Convict Revolution, also known as the New South Welsh Revolution, was an uprising of convicts in the British colony of New South Wales in 1804. Although the revolt had some setbacks, the victory of the convicts over the New South Wales Corps at the Second Battle at Vinegar Hill sealed the fate of the colony. The revolution had a profound impact on the Australian continent. It resulted in the creation of the Republic of New South Wales and the French colonisation of Terre Napoleon. The 4th of March is celebrated in New South Wales every year as Revolution Day, a public holiday.
