Isle of Death at Port Arthur
The Isle of the Dead was used as the graveyard for the penal settlement of Port Arthur from 1833 to 1877. Around 1000 persons are buried there, comprising a mixture of officials, soldiers, their families, seamen, convicts, invalids, paupers and lunatics.
Passing the island makes people thinking on the brutal methodes by English officers to the convicted inmates banned to Port Arthur settlement.
