Port Arthur - 01/04/2024

Since last post, we stayed overnight (Easter Sunday) at Dunalley - in a free spot behind the Dunalley Hotel.  We tried to get into Port Arthur Holiday Park but couldn't secure a site until Monday night onwards.

Monday, we traveled onward to NRMA Port Arthur Holiday Park arriving around 10:00am.  Got an early check in.  Normally, they don't allow check in until 2:00pm at most parks.

Once set up, we took a drive to a few points of interest in the area.

Today (Tuesday) was a down day as it rained all day - we visited the Chocolate Foundary at Taranna for a little indulgence.

We hope to visit the Port Arthur Historic Site tomorrow - weather permitting...
