Next stop: Port Arthur! | This is how you learn everything about history in Australia!

My Maria Island trip finished way too soon, and it was simply amazing. During my four days on the Island, I climbed both mountains, walked across the Island, and saw plenty of wombats and a Tasmanian Devil. It was a big success.  

Since I had such a great time, I’ll also write a travel guide with the ten reasons to visit the Island, so whenever you get the chance to go, you don’t miss out on any of these. Best of all? I’ve done them myself, so I can only speak of my experiences. But now, I’m off to my next stop before returning to Hobart, Port Arthur.

Next Stop: Port Arthur

It suddenly went from sunny weather to rainy and windy days. The end of the summer is near. It’s not that I’m not afraid of the weather changes for my next stop at Port Arthur, but more for what comes after returning to Hobart. But first, here are my main goals for Port Arthur. 

The Three Capes Track is definitely on the itinerary. However, I’ll do it alternatively because the tourist one is too expensive! Yes, no joke, it’s 450 dollars for a three-day hike. I’ll do it less comfortably, but also for free. And to be honest, I love sleeping in my tent. I even bought a new sleeping bag for these Tasmanian adventures, and it’s the best. After my hike, it’s time for more convict sites at Port Arthur, as supposedly they are one of the best-preserved in Australia!

This updated map starts looking great. I might not be able to do everything in Tasmania, but that was also not my intention. Vital for me was spending more time on the things I wanted to see instead of travelling to something that I didn’t feel like going to in the first place. As I said before, I have other plans, so make sure not to miss out on the next stop and post!
