On the Bay Restaurant

The scenic restaurant facing the Port Arthur Prison, where the ghost tour begins

In the 47-year history of Port Arthur, more than 1,000 people have died here. Some people say that the souls of the dead never leave. Indeed, there have been many documented ghost stories related to Port Arthur since 1870. Since then, many people have experienced events here that are beyond people&#39;s current cognition, which has cast a strange veil over Port Arthur.

Because of this weirdness, so many soul appearances, and multi-dimensional overlapping events, the manager of the Port Arthur Historic Site has designed a route called &quot;Ghost Tour&quot; specifically for the evening time. Led by a guide in a medieval black robe, the hiking tour with a lantern lighting will meander around the huge park for two kilometers.

The journey after nightfall is called Nightly after dark tour. The adult ticket for a single night tour is 27 Australian dollars, and if it includes dinner, it is 80 Australian dollars, which is not low. Dinner includes an appetizer and a main course, with ingredients from fresh seasonal produce from local growers and producers, as well as a glass of Tasmanian wine, beer or soft drink. It sounds like two courses are few, but they are really quite tasty, with soups, vegetables, oysters, steaks, shrimps, etc.

The prison was founded in 1830, and the restaurant is named 1830. It opens at 4pm every night (except Christmas) and serves food at 5pm. In the evening, sitting by the window, you can see the panoramic view of the prison, gardens and courtyards at sunset, and at this time, I know nothing about the ruins in front of me.

Traveling to Australia, this stop came to Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. The Port Arthur Prison Site is a major attraction in Hobart. I followed the tour group to visit it. In foreign countries, basically, every major attraction has a visitor center with a restaurant inside. This place is no exception. Its name is the Port Cafe. It is inside the visitor center, the only place to eat, and it is easy to find. It also has coffee, tea, snacks, etc. After the tour, you can rest here and have a cup of coffee. It is quite relaxing.

The lavender season in Tasmania is coming soon. You can encounter the aurora all year round, but you can only encounter the romantic lavender sea in summer. Friends who come to Tasmania from December to February want to experience the limited lavender play. Just read this article~
