Port Arthur, P 2014 Port Arthur Useful Facts, PDF, accessed 24 May 2014,
I came accross this PDF File and thought that it would be very good for 16yr old rearching Port Arthur. It is of medium authority and contains useful information such as brief history, info about the Isle of the dead and other information about the convicts.
Snippitt of some of the information on the PDF File I found about Port Arthur.
The
settlement was established in September 1830 as a timber-getting camp,
producing
sawn logs for government projects. After 1833 it became a punishment
station
for repeat offenders from the Australian colonies. It also managed a number
of
outstations that produced raw material like food and timber.
It was really clever of you to find this document Laura and I think your client could use it to advantage. However, I think the author is Port Arthur Historic Site.
ReplyDeleteYou don't need this one for your assessment but I love the fact that you have found it and incldued it.
