As we said earlier, during the first half of 19th century, this place hosted the prison at Port Arthur. It is famous by the so-called dog lines which were made across the neck to prevent escaping prisoners reach the sea.

The Port Atrhur prison was known as one of the most kept prisons in that time and only a few of prisoners managed to escape. One of those who managed to escape from this prison was Martin Cash who became famous by escaping twice from prison. The prison is now rearranged to be a museum and it is one of the most visited tourist locations in Australia.
