It was built and housed by the British convicts sent by England to help alleviate the overcrowded prisons in England in the 1800's.Port Arthur today is made up of a series of ruins situated in beautiful landscaped gardens. There are a range of tours featuring this beautiful area located on the Tasman Peninsula. Below is a Port Arthur Tour we recommend through Isango Tours both for quality and price.
HobartHobart is one of Australia's oldest and most beautiful cities. It is situated on the River Derwent and has always been an important port city. When it was first founded in the early 1800's it served mostly as a fishing port, and the quaint suburb of Battery Point still contains many of the old fisherman cottages that they lived in. Hobart also has many other interesting parts and is best explored by a walking tour.
