This at times haunting complex sits tranquilly amidst English oaks and gardens.

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.
