Highlights

The Port Arthur Historic Site offers a compelling glimpse into Australia's convict past, focusing on the penal settlement, convict labour, and the profound influence on the nation's development and colonial life.

It was amazing. This was my 2nd time & my partners 1st. We spent the whole day there wandering around. Despite plenty of bins, my partner spent a few bit of time picking up the rubbish as we walked around. Visitors had no respect for the historical site. We did an Escape Tour & the tour guy Andrew was amazing. I would have loved to sit & had a beer with him & hear more stories. We also did the 9.20pm ghost tour. It was amazing & our tour guard Tony was the bomb. He had dressed the part & has the voice of someone who was great telling stories. The only thing I didn’t like were the kids who didn’t follow the rules & spoilt it for the rest of us.
