Port Arthur

Tasmània, AUSTRÀLIA 2023

 

Port Arthur is one of Tasmania’s and Australia’s most significant historic sites. Located about two hours by car from Hobart, it was a British penal colony in the 19th century. The site features impressive ruins, including the prison, church, and hospital, set in a stunning natural landscape. Guided tours share stories of convict life and the penal system’s history. You can also take a boat trip to the Isle of the Dead, the convicts’ cemetery. At night, ghost tours offer a spine-chilling experience for the brave. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a place of deep cultural meaning. Port Arthur blends history, scenery, and emotion. A must-visit to understand Tasmania’s past.
