port arthur was one of the biggest convict settlements in australia. what could be worse den banishing these prisoners to australia.. and especially to.. TASMANIA? port arthur was chosen coz it was SO secluded, surrounded by water on one side and crazy forest on the other.

right now in 21st century, port arthur looks like a peaceful and picturesque place. obviously things werent so rosy in the past. they conduct ghost tours at night for tourists to be 'able' to see some.. friends. lol
