Port Arthur
& Ghost Tours
Historic Port Arthur is the place of
dreams
and nightmares. Terrify yourself on the Ghost Tour, take in the history
of Tasmania's Penal Colony/Convict past. We can organize you entry and
book you in for the tours before you arrive in Tasmania. The Tasman
Peninsula where Port Arthur is located is a beautiful area with
stunning cliff top walks, huge forests and pristine beaches. There are
local sea-fishing tours available, sea-plane charters, kayaking,
abseiling and many more activities in the area. There is also a huge
variety of accommodation from backpackers, tents, cabins to resort
style and self-contained cottages. Port Arthur is a "must see"
Tasmanian tourist attraction. Nestled on the Tasman Peninsula
Port Arthur offers the wonders of Tasmania's convict past combined with
fantastic value for money entry fees. Don't forget to take in the
local Tarana Tasmanian Devil Park and the glorious Bush Inn.
Established in 1830 as a penal prison and operational until 1877 Port
Arthur exudes mystery, suffering and intrigue. Cannibalism, murder
and totally believable ghost stories abound. The expert and
knowledgeable staff interact with
visitors in a powerful manner. You can enjoy
marvellous static historical displays that will entrance you with
a vision of long term suffering of the original inmates of the prison.
Tragically, Port Arthur was the site of one of the most
horrendous mass murders in modern history.
Why not explore the penitentiary, where harsh
rules forbade the convict inmates to even converse nor gaze at each
other. The pain of incarceration exacerbated by cruel,
institutionalised enforced isolation. You can do it all in a day trip with
with Australian Discount Travel & Tours, your discount professional travel
agency.
Port Arthur is within easy reach of Hobart and
rests only 1 1/2 hours easy drive of the picturesque capital. Day

enthusiasts, Port Arthur offers a large number of camping facilities
