Port Arthur Tasmania
Port Arthur is home to Australia’s most important historic sites. The original settlement and penal colony here is quite well preserved and serves as an insight into Tasmanian beginnings. Set on a beautiful cove the extensive Port Arthur Historic Site is worthy of a full day excursion.
Port Arthur is located on the stunning Tasman Peninsula with dramatic cliff edged coastlines and beautiful bays, this area has a natural appeal. Sights not to be missed are Tasman Arch, Tessellated Pavement, Remarkable Cave, Pirates Bay lookout, and of course, the Blowhole.
Being just over one hours drive from Hobart, Port Arthur can be simply a day trip from your Hobart accommodation. But, to get the most from this memorable region, it is best to spend days exploring the peninsula so staying here makes perfect sense.
