Just LOVING it in Tassie! Everything about this place is amazing from the tall trees to the blue seas! And for fun, we threw in a little history lesson as well at Port Arthur on the Tasman Peninsula.
As most of you know, Australia, and Tasmania in particular, was populated by convicts expelled from Europe. Port Arthur was created to house the worst of the worst or 'repeat offenders' as the tour guide told us. They didn't need fences as the area was a peninsula and the weather harsh. But today, we visited in the warmth of the sun and summer months.
Whether it be the main prison house, the mental asylum, or the Commandant's luxury quarters, the entire property is beautifully presented and intriguing in all facets. If we could have camped on the premises, the ghost tour would be a real treat!
