Program details
Rich in visual history, the Port Arthur Historic Site evokes a powerful sense of Tasmania’s past convict era and of early Australian settlement heritage. This at times haunting complex sits tranquilly amidst English oaks and gardens. Wander along the ruined jail blocks, past the cells and see the fields where the prisoners engaged in backbreaking work. Many of the men sent here – considered the most hardened criminals of their day – were to never leave and their remains rest in the Isle of the Dead in Carnarvon Bay. Port Arthur offers a harsh contrast to the beauty of the Tasman Peninsula.
Meeting point: Pick-up from Hobart accommodation.
Times: Pick-up from 9.15am between April and September, and 8.15am during the rest of the year. Tour lasts some seven hours.
