Port Arthur is a small town and former convict
settlement on the Tasman Peninsula, in Tasmania,
Australia. Port Arthur is one of Australia's most
significant heritage areas and an open-air
museum.

The site of Port Arthur forms part of the Australian
Convict Sites, a World Heritage property consisting
of eleven remnant penal sites originally built within
the British Empire during the 18th and 19th
centuries on fertile Australian coastal strips.
Port Arthur is officially Tasmania's top tourist
attraction. It is located approximately 60
kilometres (37 mi) south east of the state capital,
Hobart.
