Travelling to Port Arthur

We had an early start to the day, the sun was shining at 8.30am as an hour earlier it is still dark, so this was a good time to head off.  The day started out lovely and sunny, however it was still quite cool on the last day of  Autumn.  We arrived at Port Arthur at about 4.30pm after a few pitstops along the way.  In plenty of time for our Por Arthur Ghost Tour this evening.
