Side profile of the convict-built church at Port Arthur.
It was one of Australia’s first non-denominational churches, built in a gothic style. Attendance of the weekly Sunday service was compulsory for the prison population.

Unlike most of the structure in Port Arthur, the church did not undergo reconstruction. This is because even in its relic condition (roof-less), it is still clearly a church. Thus a roof is not imperative for visitors to understand the historic function of this building.

The telephoto lens (100mm) flattened the perspective so effectively.

The iconic view of the Port Arthur penitentiary.
Over the next weeks, i’ll post images taken from around this historic hellhole.

Port Arthur is a small town and former convict settlement on the Tasman Peninsula, in Tasmania, Australia. It is one of Australia’s most significant heritage areas and the open air museum is officially Tasmania’s top tourist attraction. Known for its harsh conditions, dark history and stark beauty, it is located approximately 60 km south east of the state capital, Hobart.
