Port Arthur


The feeling in Port Arthur nowadays is not the one of a bustling convict settlement from the 19th and early 20th centuries but is pervaded  by an eeriness, perhaps a reminder of the 1996 massacre, where 35 people were killed and a further 23 more wounded, and act which led to a national ban on semi-automatic shotguns and rifles, thank god.  The killer is serving 35 life sentences plus 1,035 years without parole.
