Continue your ride to the Port Arthur Convict Site and upon arrival join your guide for walking tour. Listen to the stories of its convict past as well as the early settlement of the colony, Van Dieman's Land, known today as Tasmania. Wander around the restored buildings and ruins, including the penitentiary and commandant's house.
