Before arriving in Hobart, we stopped at Port Arthur to gain some Australian convict history. The pass included a cruise to the Isle of the Dead island and a cruise around the first boys penitentiary island.
 |
| The memorial for the 1996 massacre that killed 38 people, 20 of them from this cafe.this event also prompted the gun law changes Australian wide. |
 |
| The penitentiary was under renovations, so we couldn't tour it. |
 |
| The isolation prison. |
 |
| In the church. The convicts were also isolated here...each had their own pew with walls. |

| Organ Pipes |

| Eucalyptus trees.....so colorful! |
 |
| What I call the mini Organ Pipes. |
 |
| Salamanca, the water front of Hobart |
 |
| I reckon this is one of the coolest fire stations. |
