History of Port Arthur
Written Reflection on Port Arthur
Living in Tasmania we often
hear about Port Arthur ,
settled years ago as convicts
came into Tasmania.
I am not really a History
person but my Husband
decided a holiday
on the East Coast
would be a nice break away.
We had never explored
the East Coast of Tasmania
before so off we set on
the 15/5/2017 for 4 nights
staying at Triabunna
Caravan Park to have
a break while explore Tasmania.
As I left I grabbed extra batteries
can't go on holiday and
not take my camera
with me. I used the spare
because I snapped over
1000 photos in 5 days .
Digital camera means I can pick
my best photos to show case.
Come along on the Journey

with me show casing
Port Arthur . I hadn't
been since school days ,
so much had changed
so much had changed
over the years.
Years ago we
Years ago we
stayed with our teachers
did what we where told
but this trip was very different
but this trip was very different
lots of memories flowed back
to me like being locked away in
the jail , you could drive straight
in no lining up and paying.
I enjoyed poking around
in and out of all the buildings
in and out of all the buildings
and taking photos.
The few I have shared are the main
photos I liked due to the age of
buildings and the peacefulness
of our day.
Port Arthur
Development of my Theme
Amazing place full of Tasmania History
the East Coast of Tasmania is
called the Convict Trail
I choose these photos because they
show Port Arthur Village as it is today
History that has stood for many years.
Buildings show how the weather is
affecting the structures , amazing they
are still standing.
My Photos are cropped
and straighten.
It was a overcast day
and the weather really helped
my photos because it's wasn't a real
happy place for convicts. Overcast
day shows the gloom that some of
the convicts would have felt while
living and working at Port Arthur.

We took the cruise around the harbour
looking back at Port Arthur I snapped the
village standing as it is today.

History Starting to tumble and fall but so worth seeing ,
structure of buildings so many years ago
would have been hard labour .
|
 |
Fences all over the Village ground
covered in moss , built by hand using bricks.
|
| old gates with pointed tops give no escape option |
 |
Highest building I saw the top was so pointed all made out of bricks with arches in the design still standing today. All I want to do was climb to the top. |
 |
Long fences ran around the buildings ,
some have fallen over others are still
standing.

late afternoon home time one last photo
