04.02 Tas: Port Arthur (Again)

Woke up to the sound of rain falling on the roof of the car! Managed to pack the car up, have some breakfast and returned to the Port Arthur settlement for the second day of our ticket! This also included mixing with all the others from the cruise ship too!

Our ticket included a guided tour round the penal site and delving into the history and the characters that inhabitated it. After this we went on a small harbour cruise. The weather certainly helped in making the trip very atmospheric! We looked around the Commandant's House, the Asylum & Separate Prison before we had to head off to explore the southeast of Tasmania.
