    Port Arthur is a place with a lot of history, but the excursion was not only focused on that. We were also able to enjoy the view of the sea and the scenery of the peninsula.

    I didn't expect Port Arthur to be so interesting, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was a great way to learn more about Australian history.
