Could you have escaped from Port Arthur?
Call it what you will, the ‘luck of the draw’, the ‘lottery of life’, ‘wheel of fate’; it led to the forced migration of tens of thousands of men, women and children, convicted and free alike, to Van Diemen’s Land, thousands alone to Port Arthur.
The Wheel of Fate sent tens of thousands of men, women and children to Van Diemen’s Land. Their fate here hinged on social class, trade, integrity, and interpersonal aptitude. These days the Wheel of Fate experience takes you behind the ropes with exclusive access to Port Arthur’s unique buildings. Led by an expert guide on a private tour, you will access areas off-limits to the public to explore 19th century life in this infamous prison settlement. To showcase the region’s amazing produce, your personal chef will prepare and serve a two-course lunch in the dining room of the immaculately conserved Visiting Magistrates House.
With the perfect balance of heritage, colonial culture and premium food and beverages, this is a truly unique experiences. Upgrade your experience to include a conservation specialist.
