Day 2 part 1: Port Arthur



We left Hobart bright and early at 7am to drive to Port Arthur. It was a chilly 10 degrees Celsius.

Port Arthur is one of the oldest settlements in Australia. Unfortunately, it was a convict settlement, a place where England sent their prisoners that they no longer wanted in their country. What they didn't realize is that Port Arthur is a beautiful place, lush greenery and surrounded by crystal blue waters.
