We decided we would go for a drive first thing in the morning and decided to visit Nubeena.
The harbour was full of assorted boats, from fishing boats to pleasure boats.
On the way back to Port Arthur we stopped of at the Seascape Supermarket (I think that was the name - but couldn't be sure!) to purchase some supplies for tea that evening.
For my benefit, we couldn't have timed our visit any better. Just so happened that we arrived at the same time as the start of the "Great Race" at Bathurst and watched Coulthard's spectacular crash on the first lap.
We then drove back to the Port Arthur Historic Site and picked up a set of self-guided audio handsets and proceeded to follow the numbers as we walked around the site and listened to how life was at the site when it was a penal colony.
Halfway through we decided to have lunch at the cafe at the top of the hill, this was included in our Silver Experience pass. We enjoyd a bowl of tomato & vegetable soup, a cornish pastie, a muffin and a cool drink.
We then continued walking around the site, finally returning to the Visitor Centre around 3.00pm having spen almost 4 hours on the site.
We had a coffee at the cafe at the Visitor Centre before returning to our accommodation.
This day was one of the highlights of our Tasmania trip.
