Port ArthurNamed after Col. George Arthur, Lieut. Governor of Tasmania, 1824-36.
Port Arthur is a town and former convict settlement on the Tasman Peninsula, in Tasmania, Australia. Port Arthur is officially Tasmania's top tourist attraction. It is located approximately 60 km south east of the state capital, Hobart, though it is approximately 120 km by road. Created with convict labour, the impressive architecture, gardens and prison facilities survive today for public exploration and archaeological and historic research. www.portarthur.org.au/ Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Arthur,_Tasmania Category: archaeological site heritage  place comments:
