See how Tasmania’s rugged coast acted as a physical and psychological wall. Port Arthur (4h): Entry included. Go beyond the ruins to hear personal stories of daily routines, punishment, and survival. Coastal Wonders (30m): Witness Tasman Arch, Devil’s Kitchen, and the Blowhole—nature’s boundaries that made escape impossible.
