Abstract

The history of Tasman Peninsula during the initial post-penal period from 1877- 1914 is
presented and discussed. Settlement of the peninsula after the closure of Port Arthur prison
resulted in two distinct communities - one providing recreation facilities and services to
tourists and the other dependent on farming, orcharding, logging and fishing. During this
period Tasmanians began to come to terms with the convict history represented by Port Arthur,
with Eaglehawk Neck and Port Arthur becoming foci for the developing tourism industry.
