"One of Tasmania's top tourist attractions is the crumbling ruins of a penal colony, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit the penitentiary, where 60 stone buildings remain, for a sobering glimpse intothe brutallives of the 12,500 convicts incarcerated here between 1830 and 1877. Visitors can also tour the Dockyard and Port Arthur gardens. There’s so muchto see that a guided tourisrecommended—especially the one that coversparanormal activity. (There's also a lantern-lit ghost tour, for brave families only.)"
