由於 La Nina 現象，整個夏天比過往兩年，溫度低了10℃，又多雨。過往兩年的夏天，溫度有28-9℃，有時高達32℃，無雲真是“曬爆頭”。
昨日天晴，氣溫只有11℃至20℃。雖然低溫我們都決定到 Port Arthur 遊覽。Port Arthur是世界文化遺產之一，也是澳洲歷史的一部分。Port Arthur Historic Sites Visitor Guide 就有以下的介紹：
The Port Arthur Historic Site is a place of national and international significance - part of the epic story of the settlement of this country.
Port Arthur was much more than a prison. It was a complete community - home to military personnel and free settler. The convicts worked at farming and industries, producing a large range of resources and materials.
The Port Arthur Historic Site contains more than 30 historic buildings, extensive ruins and beautiful grounds and gardens.
Port Arthur penal station was established in 1830 as a timber-getting camp, using convict labour to produce sawn logs for government projects. From 1833 Port Arthur was used as a punishment station for repeat offenders from all the Australian colonies.
On Sunday 28 April 1996, a tragic chapter was added to Port Arthur's history when a gunman took the lives of 35 people and physically wounded 19 others in and around the Port Arthur Historic Site.
百多年前英國的法律是很嚴苛，偷麵包判刑7年，判處流刑到澳洲，還有6歲的小童也要附上刑事責任，偷竊一樣判刑數年，甚至於死刑，用現代人的思維去想，太嚴刑峻法了。
