The narrow connection to the mainland at Eaglehawk Neck made the Tasman Peninsula the ideal site for the harshest penal settlement in 19th century Australia. It is now a beautiful and haunting open-air museum of convict history. Take a guided tour or wander the site at leisure and soak up history. Walk through the ruins and original and restored buildings or explore several museums and enjoy restaurants, souvenir shops and informative displays. Admission: Adults AUD24; children AUD11; family AUD52; concession AUD19. Admission price covers two consecutive days.
