The Penitentiary at Port Arthur

Port Arthur is the best-preserved convict settlement in Australia. The grounds are very large and you could easily spend a whole day getting lots of exercise walking over the grounds and reading stories about the convicts and the people who worked there. Keith loves historic things so he was quite interested in the stories about Port Arthur.







That is one small cell block. Several of the convicts were locked up for years for stealing cutlery and tablecloths.

I didn't leave him locked up for too long.
