Port Arthur Historic Site is about 1.5 hours drive from Hobart city. It was a multi purpose site in the past as prison, industrial complex and community. I recommend this place if you are interested about Australia history.

Port Arthur is a village and historic site in southern Tasmania, Australia. Sitting on the Tasman Peninsula, it was a 19th-century penal settlement and is now an open-air museum. Purchased the ticket online via klook, can use it instantly with the QR code to access the site.
