    Traveling to Australia, this stop is in Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, and the historic site of Port Arthur is one of Hobart’s most famous attractions. The historic site of the Prison Church, which was previously an ancient prison building, shows the local prison environment of more than half a century ago, and the justice system in Tasmania. Visitors can see the former courtroom here, or follow the dim stairs to the cell to see the cell's environment. I took a map to visit, the map marked a lot of places, now we see only a ruin, although the court, cells and other places, but also erected a sign, you can use your fantasy to imagine the original picture at that time.

    The historical preservation building here is basically a wreckage, but it is not deliberately renovated and renovated, but shows the relatively real side. The main building behind is also accompanied by a museum. The cell building inside is lighted and even lighted. The room without light tells the story of the prisoners' exile.

    It is worth browsing, touching history and chasing the past, and the mood is a bit heavy. Later, I bought some souvenirs and drank a glass of rose wine at the beach restaurant, and I was in a good mood. The museum and the small island that holds juvenile offenders are also worth lingering.

    The prison church historical site is located on the corner of Brisbane Avenue and Campbell Avenue in Hobart. It was designed and built in the early 1930s by John Lee Yazhe, an Irish-American colonial architect and civil engineer. It is an ancient Georgian Renaissance-style prison building, one of Australia’s most important prisoner districts, also known at the time as “The Tench,” and is now managed by the National Trust. Residents nearby know that it was once a prisoner barracks in Hobart town. It originally covered more than two acres and was home to about 50,000 male prisoners. After stopping the transport of prisoners, it became a Hobart prison for more than 100 years. The site shows the former local prison environment and the system of justice in Tasmania at the time. Visitors can see the former courts inside, or walk down the narrow and dim stairs to the cells, visit the cell environment, and even see the gallows. But this attraction is a bit gloomy, it is said that you can see ghosts here at night, so it attracts many curious people to explore. In fact, this kind of place does not say that at night, the day is also quite gloomy, there is a "ghost tour" at night, I am not interested! Figure1-2: sandstone front wall of prison church built in 1831; figure 3: handcuffed arms displayed in the store window of the prison church historical site - from white and thick to thin and rough; figure 4: entrance to the prison church historical site - providing guided tours; Figure5-7: The side of the historical site of the prison church - the tower built in 1834.

    The life of the criminal is restored and you can feel the story in the walls. Walking through the church, the courtroom, the gallows touches people and even touches people. Very real and historic, I love the message that was conveyed on this trip.
