Overlooking the waters of a quiet bay is Australia's most significant historic site at Port Arthur. Here, every piece of hand-hewn stone and every thumb-marked brick has a story that echoes of days long gone. Step back one and a half centuries-exploring the dramatic buildings, strolling or picnicking beneath graceful old English trees and cruising the dark waters to the 'Isle of the Dead'. Every moment at Port Arthur is a piece of living history: your feet tread the same paths the convicts walked and in the silence you may catch an echo of clinking chains and the tap of hammer on stone.
