After a good dinner and sleep at Freycinet Lodge, we proceeded down the east coast of Tasmania to Port Arthur, notorious as a cruel work and punishment facility for convicts deported from England in the early 1800s. While the stories told by the guides are chilling, the site currently is well maintained (though the penal buildings are picturesquely decayed) and surprisingly well landscaped (for the pleasure of non-criminal visitors). And it's located on a scenic bay, where we began our tour.
