    I am here #I am here# Port Arthur Historic Site Don't look at the beautiful mountains and clear waters here Now the green plants are lush and quiet. The quiet and quiet look like I thought it was sad and sleepy at the beginning. I didn't see the sky. I couldn't live in a prisoner.

    Port Arthur Historic Site is a very important historical area of Australia. It was the first port of arrival in Australia by British colonists, and most of the sites were prisons and were the place where British prisoners were held at the time. Although it is broken, you can see that the prison here has been quite large and modern more than 100 years ago, it is worth the money to visit

    Traveling to Australia, this stop is in Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, and the historic site of Port Arthur is one of Hobart’s most famous attractions. The historic site of the Prison Church, which was previously an ancient prison building, shows the local prison environment of more than half a century ago, and the justice system in Tasmania. Visitors can see the former courtroom here, or follow the dim stairs to the cell to see the cell's environment. I took a map to visit, the map marked a lot of places, now we see only a ruin, although the court, cells and other places, but also erected a sign, you can use your fantasy to imagine the original picture at that time.

    Port Arthur Historic Site in Tasmani, Italy, was put into use in 1830 and was then a purgatory on earth. Over the past forty years, more than 12,000 British prisoners in exile have been detained here. More than 100 years later, Port Arthur, though not as daunting as the colonial period, has a trace of vicissitudes and bitterness. The prison is surrounded by mountains, like a natural barrier castle, which was the most dreadful place for exiles at that time. People called it Hell Hole. There are more than 30 buildings, ruins and reconstructed antique houses, and so on. It takes you a day to visit them. Between Port Arthur and Tasmania, there is a narrow area of Shaanxi Province, surrounded by a large number of sharks, known as "the prison that can not escape". Visitors can visit ancient churches, powder depots, prisons and guard towers built by prisoners. There is also a prison museum full of peculiar style, you can see many pictures and objects of that time, even prisoners'clothes, whips and chains, etc., others shudder.

    Port Arthur is still a very historic attraction. The environment is still good. I like the feeling of taking a boat to sea. Faced with the sea breeze, some historical relics look very decadent in the distance. It is said that this place used to be a place of exile, so some buildings can still be seen. Where some prisoners lived.

    Port Arthur is located on a peninsula in southeastern Australia. It has a long history, dense trees, beautiful coastline and picturesque scenery. Geographically isolated from the rest of the world, it was used by the then British government as a place for the detention of heavily imprisoned prisoners between 1830 and 1877. It is the most well-preserved and largest ancient prison in Australia and has been listed on the Australian National Heritage List. Today, all we can see is the ruins of Port Arthur Prison, which were burned down by two forest fires in 1895 and 1897, with only a few ruins. But the remnants of the British style, reflected by the blue sea and sunny day, have a unique shocking beauty. It is said to be the most attractive tourist attraction in Tazhou and a must-visit place for tourists from Europe and the United States.

    In the southeast of Hobart, there is a famous world cultural heritage site, Port Arthur Exile Site, which is one of the historic sites of Australian prisoners. Over 30 historic buildings, such as prisons, residences of supervisors, churches built by prisoners, are scattered across the vast land. Some are well-restored, some are still built in outlines, and others are piles of tiles. The admission tickets are A$37 per person, including Chinese tour guides and cruise ships. Every hour there are different language tour groups. Chinese tour guides lead you to travel 45 minutes later. The cruise ship lasts about half an hour. There is a small island on the sea called Death Island, which is dedicated to the burial of the dead. During 1833-1877, more than 1,000 people were buried there. Prisoners can be released to do crafts or small businesses, and can not return to Britain. I think the local white people living here today may be the descendants of these people.
