Port Arthur Historic Site

“The Port Arthur Historic Site is amongst the best-preserved convict settlements in Australia and among the most significant convict era sites in the world.” (Discover Tasmania).

Port Arthur is got to be one of the most intriguing places I’ve been to. It provides a glimpse of what the place represents in the history books of Tasmania.

Salmon Ponds: Heritage Hatchery and Gardens

The Salmon Ponds is considered to be the oldest trout hatchery not only in Australia but the entire southern hemisphere. It was established in 1861 and it is the birthplace of trout (salmon) in Australia. My friends and I stopped over to enjoy the trout ponds, the green lawns and the historic memorabilia and mini-museum embedded in this 19^th century style establishment.
