Monkeys in the park

Family, Tourism

While in Launceston, we had a few hours to kill so we asked a waiter what we should do to fill in couple of hours.

He said “Ahhhh… Monkeys in the park?” Monkey’s in the park?

Alright then.

 We arrived at the park at 4.25pm. There was a sign saying the monkeys are there until 4.30pm. I pulled out my camera, and snapped this photo of a group of monkey’s loitering.

A second after this photo was taken, and a door inside that cave opened, and whooosh! All the monkey’s were gone.

Looking at these photos — these beautiful ruins in this lovely green lush place — it’s just so hard to imagine that Port Arthur was the place people were sent as punishment in the 1800’s.

One of the cool things they do at Port Arthur is that when you arrive, they give you a playing card and using your playing card you can trace the life of ‘your’ prisoner. My prisoner had been sent to Port Arthur for stealing two £5 notes!
