Port Arthur Historic Site
Port Arthur’s history dates back to 1830, when it was founded as a timber station. It’s better known, however, as a former penal colony where British criminals were sent in the years from 1833 to 1853. Today, the UNESCO World Heritage site is the most intact convict site in Australia, complete with more than 30 historic buildings.
