George Town Watch House

George Town Watch House: convict cells & 1840s local history

Walk into the original 1840s cells to see what Tasmanian convict life actually looked like without the Port Arthur crowds. It only takes 30 minutes to explore, so it is a quick pit stop while hitting the Low Head stretch. The permanent 'Departures' exhibit tells the real stories of the female factory and local settlers. Check out the community garden out back for a quiet break. Entry is cheap, making it a solid low-budget history fix.
