We arrived in Hobart, Tasmania and we came to to this fish place, Mures, for dinner. It was delicious! Everything was so fresh and tasty! We ate here on our last night in Tassie too.
This is Dad, Theresa, and me by some statues outside of the restaurant.

We visited Pt. Arthur Historic Site. This is where all of the convicts came when they were sent over from England back in the 1850s and 1860s. It was a pretty creepy place. The convicts weren't treated very well and it is a sad part of Australia's history, but we all have sad parts of our countries histories. This is a picture of the barracks where the convicts lived. The really bad guys lived on the first floor and the better you were the higher the level you stayed.
This was a chapel in one of the prisons. All of the convicts were led in and they had partitions between them so they couldn't communicate. I could barely see over the ledge!
This is just one of the ruins left today. At one time there were over 200 buildings and now there are just 30.
More of the ruins. If I remember correctly, this might be of the hospital.
We took a short boat ride out in the harbour and this is the passage from the harbour into the open ocean.

This is the church. All of the young boys (aged 8 to about 11) built this wooden insides of the church. A fire came and destroyed that, but the stone work is left behind.
This is the guards watch tower.
This is what is left of the convicts barracks.
Ah, much happier place now! Tassie Devil Conservation Park. Here are two of the little guys sunning themselves.
Look how cute he is! Too bad he could bite your hand off! They have the strongest jaw of all the animals in the world!
Going in for a nap, but what isn't showed here is a little brawl between these two!
This is hilarious. You see the two feet sticking out of the mom's pouch. I think the joey dived head first into his mom's pouch!
Sleeping tassie devil!
Justin and Theresa posing with a Tawny Frogmouth bird. They are really cute!

A beautiful beach we found!
So we did so much this past week, I am doing it in three posts. The next two will be on on Bruny Island tour and me and Justin's Melbourne trip.
