Port Arthur Prison

In the early afternoon, we reached Port Arthur under a clear blue sky. The general admission tickets start with a boat ride around the harbor with some information to orient you to the place. Above is a view of the main prison dormitory.

Fremantle Prison

The prison at Fremantle was built originally to house convicts transported from Britain at the request of the Australians. They needed people to work, so they asked the motherland for help. Unlike the other sites for housing those transported, they were able to have a say in who they accepted.
