Welcome to Port Arthur Photo, i hope you enjoy visiting and seeing some of the pictures from Port Arthur.

Port Arthur’s history is a colourful one. It was originally a flour mill which was soon converted to a Penal Colony that was known for its harsh conditions and dark history. It is located around 70 km south east of the state capital Hobart on the Tasman Peninsula.

In 1996 Port Arthur again had a dark day when it was the scene of the worst ever mass murder in the history of Australia.
