We ended our trip to the island with a tour around Port Arthur, famous for it's prison community for the second offender convicts being trucked over here from England in the early-mid 1800's. We took a creepy Ghost Tour in the dark into the old houses, the hospital, and the prison cells. What was better, the 3 glowing lanterns that were carried along as we walked, the tour guide in his long black coat that billowed as he walked down the hillside with us, or his accent??!!
All in all, a great trip. Pat assured me that he preferred it when I drove, Donna, so he could examine the Map 'O Tassie.
Did I mention we visited the town of Ross? It is famous for housing, back in convict time, the women's prison, which they called the Female Factory (!). It reminded me of Sonoma, very quaint, antique shops here and there, oh, and the hotel called, "Man 'O Ross Hotel."
