A lesson in Australia’s history would not be complete without the history of Port Arthur. It began in the 1880s as a penal colony. Then lieutenant governor of Van Diemen’s Land, George Arthur, established Port Arthur as a settlement for the most incorrigible, repeated offenders from Great Britain and Ireland.[i] The juvenile offenders, on the other hand, would end up in Point Puer, also within the settlement. The idea was that hard labor, psychological punishment, trading and religious education combined would reform even the worst of all convicts. Port Arthur situates on the southwestern coast of Van Diemen’s Land. The penal colony inherited natural barriers that prevented the convicts from any kind of escape. The convicts then understood that the waters surrounding the three sides of the penitentiary was infested with sharks. Visitors to the Port Arthur historic site would not miss the theme of the site’s history. We went through a very thoughtful exhibition of the life of the convicts there. The research was thorough, and focused on the life stories of the convicts. These stories allowed visitors a look into the human face of the otherwise haunting ruins that is Port Arthur today. #portarthur #australia #australiahistory #penalcolony #history #tasmania #历史古迹

There are many sights to see across the large site, and you can also take a boat, so you'll want to spend at least 3 hours there⌚️ It's nice to go around on your own, but it's so big that you might get lost, so I recommend getting an audio guide or tour guide. There are also various other options, such as night tours, so be sure to check the website. . . 📍Port Arthur Historic Site 🗺️Tasmania, Australia 🕑9:00-17:00 💰AU$47 #trip_aug #Australia #WorldHeritage

The name of the place is perhaps a slight overstatement when it comes to the cave itself. Still, it's worth the 10 minute drive here if you're already visiting Port Arthur for the coastal views around the site, and there are some great walks in the area if you have an hour or two to spare.

Could have easily spent a second day at the Port Arthur Historic Site. There's so much to see and learn. The whole place is beautiful, open, and absolutely sprawling (which is not something I ever expected to say about a prison!).

Tasmania is filled with many natural landscape but do you know it is also filled with many stories and historic sites from ages ago? One is the Port Aurther Historic Site located at in the south east of horbart, where it is approx a 90mins drive around the coast to reach.

Located 1.5 hours drive from Hobart is the Port Arthur Historic site. Initially created as a timber gathering site in the 1830’s, Port Arthur quickly became of major importance to emerging colonies in Australia due to its highly productive ship yards. The site is large & nestled in a valley, with paths guiding your way around the site. On arrival each visitor is giving a playing card, this corresponds to a past occupant of Port Arthur & you will learn about then down stairs in the museums. Once you have visited the museum you then head onto a 40 minute introductory tour, which shows you around the sight and gives you a deeper insight into the history of the people and the building that formed Port Arthur. After that you proceed to the dock for your bay tour which is also included in the entry fee. This tour which goes out around one of the most important islands of the settlement is again guided. After that you are free to roam the grounds and explore the rest of the site. There are a wide range of extra tours on offer including the “After Dark pack” which includes a 2 course meal at their on-site restaurant and a 90 minute ghost tour. The food was incredible and we had an extremely knowledgeable guide who made the experience very enjoyable.

#summervacay #june2025 #australiatrip #naturalwonders Hidden just off the coastal road, Big Possum Beach isn’t the kind of place you find in glossy brochures—but that’s exactly its charm. A narrow ribbon of sand edges the gentle tide, framed by two modest jetties that stretch into still waters like arms outstretched in welcome. There are no lifeguards here, no beach clubs or cafés. Just the hush of the wind, the occasional gull, and the sound of your own breath syncing with the rhythm of the waves. It’s raw, real, and quietly beautiful. I stopped by on a late afternoon drive—no crowds, no noise. Just a brief pause where the road meets the coast. The jetties, aged and weathered, make perfect foregrounds for moody photographs or moments of quiet reflection. Locals occasionally wander down to fish, casting lines into calm waters, unhurried and unseen. Just a short drive away, Bay Retreat Port Arthur offers the perfect hideaway to complete the experience—where comfort meets sweeping views of Carnarvon Bay.

#summervacay #naturalwonders #australiatrip #june2025 Tucked into the dramatic coastline near Port Arthur, Remarkable Cave is one of Tasmania’s most breathtaking natural wonders — a sea tunnel sculpted through sheer rock, where crashing waves pulse with raw energy. Walk the steep, winding stairway and you’re met with a view so cinematic it almost feels unreal: two perfectly aligned sea arches, opening directly to the wild Southern Ocean. Just beyond, a short coastal walk leads to Salmon Rock, a lookout where wind-carved cliffs plunge into restless waters. On a good day, you’ll catch the palette of blues shifting in layers, with white foam dancing at the base of the stone walls. If you’re lucky — as I was — the early morning mist lifts just enough to unveil the majesty of the bay in golden light. More than a photo stop, this stretch of Tasmania’s coast reminds you of nature’s quiet authority. Remarkable Cave isn’t just named for its shape — it’s a place that leaves a lasting impression, long after the salt has dried from your skin.

#summervacay #travel_australia #thingstodo #june2025 Nestled between the open sea and the sleepy charm of a Tasmanian fishing town, the Foreshore Walkway at Dunalley offers more than just a stroll—it’s a soft immersion into coastal stillness. This serene pathway curves along the water’s edge, revealing a quiet portrait of life by the bay: fishing boats resting at anchor, seabirds sweeping low over the shallows, and reflections rippling like oil paintings across the surface. It’s not dramatic like Tasmania’s cliffed edges—but instead, deeply peaceful, the kind of place that invites you to slow down and notice the small things. Along the way, local signs tell stories of the town’s maritime heritage. A few benches are thoughtfully placed—perfect for pausing with a coffee or simply watching the tide roll in. Depending on the season, you may even catch the scent of wild sea herbs in the air or spot oyster farmers working offshore. This isn’t a place for speed. It’s for walkers, wanderers, and those who understand that beauty can be quiet and unassuming—just like Dunalley itself.

#summervacay #june2025 #naturalwonders #travel_australia #magnificentview On Tasmania’s rugged southeastern edge, where cliffs meet untamed sea, Maingon Bay Lookout offers one of the most sweeping and cinematic coastal views you’ll find on the island. Just minutes from Port Arthur, this hidden gem feels like a secret shared only by those who veer slightly off the usual path. The viewing platform sits mere metres from the carpark, making it one of the most accessible yet breathtaking lookout points in the region. The expanse of Maingon Bay stretches out endlessly, framed by wind-carved cliffs and the ever-shifting ocean. It’s a spot that invites stillness—where the sound of crashing waves replaces conversation, and the horizon seems to pull your thoughts far away.

📅 Itinerary Day1: Arrived in Hobart at night and enjoyed dinner at Wrest Point’s Broadwalk Bistro—delicious food and a great way to settle in. Ended the evening with cocktails at the Birdcage Bar, which set the tone for a fun trip! Day2: Started the day with coffee at Rosie in My Midnight Dreams (right above the ferry dock—super convenient!). Took the ferry to MONA and spent hours exploring the incredible art. Dinner was at Bar Wa Izakaya—absolutely delicious, with friendly service (just note, some dishes take a bit longer, so don’t go if you’re in a rush). After dinner, I headed out to Port Arthur for the Ghost Tour—spooky, fascinating, and a highlight of my trip! To wind down, I checked out the Green Room Bar at Wrest Point (which was pretty quiet for a Saturday night), then moved to the Birdcage Bar where the live music and vibrant atmosphere made for a perfect end to the night. Day3: Breakfast at Waterline Brooke Street Pier Lounge Bar & Eatery was a treat—gorgeous bay views, delicious food, and perfect coffee. After breakfast, I explored Salamanca Market and found the perfect souvenir to remember my trip—a true local treasure! Finished the trip with a drive up to Mount Wellington, where the panoramic views above the clouds absolutely blew my mind. You have to see it to believe 🏨 Accommodation Stayed at Wrest Point. The view of the bay from my room was absolutely beautiful. The room was spotless, and the bed was so comfortable—I slept like a dream every night! 🍴 Food Recommendations • Broadwalk Bistro: Great for a relaxed dinner on arrival. • Birdcage Bar: Lively atmosphere, creative cocktails, and live music. • Green Room Bar: Quieter vibe; may not be the best for weekend nights. • Rosie in My Midnight Dreams: Perfect coffee spot before sightseeing. • Bar Wa Izakaya: Delicious Japanese food and great service—just allow extra time for some dishes. • Waterline Brooke Street Pier Lounge Bar & Eatery: Breakfast with a stunning view! 📌 Tips • Take the ferry to MONA for a scenic ride and an unforgettable museum experience. • Book the Port Arthur Ghost Tour in advance—it’s a must-do! • Mount Wellington can get chilly—bring a jacket, and don’t forget your camera. • For a lively night out, the Birdcage Bar is the place to be. • Don’t miss Salamanca Market for unique local finds and a vibrant atmosphere.

#summervacay Walking through the ruins of Port Arthur felt like stepping into history. The site is beautifully preserved, with old sandstone buildings and sweeping views over the bay. I joined a guided walking tour and a harbor cruise, both of which gave deep insight into Australia’s convict past. It was surprisingly peaceful despite its dark history, and the stories were powerful. The gardens and old prison cells were hauntingly atmospheric. It’s a meaningful and well-spent summer day in Tasmania.

So many amazing spots in Tasmania, a trek to Eaglehawk Neck is a must do!

The natural beauty of Tasmania is on full display at Turrakana/Tasman Peninsula, a paradise not only for nature lovers but also for adventurers and photographers. This southern peninsula boasts Australia's highest sea cliffs, breathtaking geological wonders, and scattered sea stacks. Stroll between the majestic Tasman Arch and the mysterious Devils Kitchen, then step onto the geometrically patterned Tessellated Pavement to marvel at nature's exquisite craftsmanship. For a different perspective of the Tasman Peninsula, join Pennicott Wilderness Journeys' Tasman Island Cruises. Gazing up at Cape Pillar and Cape Hauy from sea level, you'll be awestruck by their grandeur. For hiking enthusiasts, the multi-day Three Capes Track is an excellent choice, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature's charm and mystery along the way. Accommodation options on the Tasman Peninsula are equally diverse. You can stay at the conveniently located Eaglehawk Pavilions or find a cozy retreat amidst eucalyptus trees at Stewarts Bay Lodge. For families, NRMA Port Arthur Holiday Park is a great option, offering cabin camping, wood-fired pizza, and even a BMX track for kids to enjoy. 03 Larapuna/Bay of Fires At Larapuna/Bay of Fires, you won’t need to adjust the contrast—the colors here are truly unbelievable. Azure waters, pristine white beaches, and orange-red lichen-covered granite boulders blend together to create a breathtaking masterpiece. From Binalong Bay to The Gardens, you’ll discover numerous untouched beaches, each perfect for relaxation. The Eddystone Point Lighthouse is another must-see. Beyond its navigational role, this lighthouse is protected for its significance to Tasmania’s Indigenous people. Standing on the surrounding headlands, you can admire the bay’s stunning vistas from different angles. For avid hikers, the Wukalina Walk offers an unforgettable experience. This trail, owned and operated by Tasmanian Aboriginal people, showcases mesmerizing landscapes. Additionally, the Bay of Fires Signature Walk is highly recommended, combining hiking with kayaking for an exhilarating outdoor adventure. Accommodation in Larapuna/Bay of Fires ranges from beachside campsites to boutique resorts. Park your vehicle at a coastal campground for an intimate nature experience, savor local Tasmanian delicacies at Bay of Fires Bush Retreat, unwind at the Japanese-inspired Sabi Stays, or relax in the Scottish-style hilltop tower of The Keep, overlooking the stunning scenery. 04 Kunanyi/Mount Wellington In Hobart, majestic mountain views are almost everywhere. Drive to the summit or take the Kunanyi/Mount Wellington Explorer Bus to the hidden yet spectacular lookout, where you can admire Hobart’s cityscape against the distant ocean and mountains. A series of short walking trails also offer panoramic views of the city and surrounding areas. The Springs, located halfway up the mountain, was once home to a grand hillside hotel. Today, it’s transformed into a hub for leisure and adventure. The Lost Freight Cafe here is an ideal spot for a break and a bite, while the nearby North South Track mountain biking trail offers endless outdoor excitement. Photography enthusiasts shouldn’t miss the Octopus Tree—a massive eucalyptus with unique, tentacle-like roots clinging to the rocks, creating a striking visual. As night falls, stay in a mountain-view room at Islington Hotel or by the water at MACq 01 Hotel, with balconies framing the towering peaks. For the best views, head to AURA Hobart bar atop Crowne Plaza. Sip a drink while soaking in the majestic mountain scenery for complete relaxation.
