I had visited Port Arthur with JJ, seven years ago and although we did not have bad weather during the day we had the worst weather during the Ghost Tour with rain and sleet coming at us from right angles...well Stephen & I got the rain pretty much all day, but that's the nature of the place...it all adds to it's dismal past. Having said that, it does have a beauty and atmosphere all of it's own....I have never been the best in churches, feeling that they are sometimes over the top...this one is great the sky is the ceiling and all of nature to behold.
Bearing in mind that this is still an area that is being restored and a huge tourist attraction, it is a credit to the organiser's with this huge area being a pleasure to explore.
Were the buildings are in disrepair, they have made areas safe and still kept the original look, none of this replace and you can't get a feel for what it was like...bearing in mind that the Government tried to get rid of as much of the area of Port Arthur because of it's past.
This is just above the old Military Station.
Looking through some of the buildings with only the ruined walls and ghost's of the past around you....eerie and very poignant.
