Port Arthur Guide

Port Arthur is a former penal colony which originally opened as a timber station in 1830. It became a prison settlement for male convicts in 1833 and quickly gained a reputation for being ‘hell-on-earth’.

Convicts ranged from boys as young as nine through to hardened criminals. The prison closed in 1877 and was renamed Carnarvon in an attempt to lose its former associations; however, in 1927 it was reinstated as Port Arthur.

Today, the prison is open to the public and visitors can take part in guided tours and harbour cruises. There is also an interpretation gallery where visitors can find out about some of the convicts that were sentenced there.
