More information:
One of Australia's leading historic sites, the Port Arthur penal settlement is the most significant of seven locations on the Tasman Peninsula Convict Trail and was once used to confine 12,700 habitual offenders between 1830 and 1877. The Tasman Peninsula provided a natural penitentiary, with only a narrow strip of land connecting it to mainland Tasmania. The site, on 125 hectares (309 acres), has a new world-class visitor centre and restaurant and more than 30 historic buildings and ruins, as well as beautiful gardens.
