Port Arthur Historic Site

Port Arthur is Australia's largest and most intact convict settlement, forming a key part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Australian Convict Sites. Discover iconic ruins, over 30 historic buildings, immersive house museums, compelling exhibitions, and guided tours complemented by a scenic harbour cruise and self-guided audio experience. Set within 146 hectares of spectacular landscape, heritage gardens, and walking trails, visitors can relax and enjoy breathtaking views, shop for locally-made products and savour local flavours in our cafés and at our acclaimed 1830 Restaurant & Bar. More than 300,000 people visit Port Arthur every year, but the now sunny port has a dark history. In 1930, Captain Governor George Arthur chose the Tasman Peninsula in south-east Tasmania to hold prisoners who had reoffended during the colonial period. The peninsula and the mainland are only connected by a land less than 100 meters wide (that is, the Eagle Neck Gorge). From 1830 to 1877, 12,500 prisoners spent hard sentences in Port Arthur. The Tourist Services Center is located in the Port Arthur Historic Site building. Downstairs is a gallery with detailed explanations, where visitors can learn about the suffering of prisoners in exile in Tasmania. You can also take a cruise around the Island of the Dead (Island of the Dead) in the harbour, and if you are interested, you can visit the island. This is a hugely popular excursion in Port Arthur, a 90-minute ghost tour with a guided tour of many of the old buildings and stories of some of the creepy events that have happened here. If interested, be sure to book before 16:00 on the day.

Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary

Built in 1981, Bonorong Wildlife Park is one of Australia's most popular wildlife parks. It was established for the adoption of abandoned and injured wild animals, and its purpose is also to call on more people to protect wild animals and the natural environment. Maybe you would rather visit such a zoo than the kind that captures animals alive and puts them in A zoo with cages for people to watch. There is a unique animal in Tasmania - the little devil, which is as precious as our national treasure, the giant panda. This cute little animal that looks like a little black pig and a bit like a mouse is the famous Tasmanian devil. Its scientific name is the Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilusharrisii). It is a marsupial carnivore that is only distributed in Australia today. In Tasmania, Tasmania, Tasmanian devils are relatively large carnivorous marsupials, and little devils are nocturnal animals with very few numbers, so they are generally difficult to meet in the wild.
