Hi Tony, Mark Jefferys was a convict his height was 6 foot and 1 and half inches tall he was transported for burglary and assault in 1850. He was sent to Norfolk Island on board the Eliza. Then in 1855 Norfolk Island closed and he was sent to Port Arthur. He was often getting himself in to trouble for his temper and was often complaining about his food rations. He was put into leg irons which ended making him a cripple and was sent to the Hobart Goal in 1877. You can find out more about him though a book called a burglars Life which he wrote. he wrote these stories before his death and these were published into a book later on. I hope this helps.

Hi there. Was wondering if you would do a tour outside of the Monday & Friday you do the tours. We're coming from Melbourne and be there from 22nd to 24th November. Was really hoping you maybe able to squeeze a tour in for us either on 22nd or 23rd. We're limited for time so can't change our dates unfortunately. Thank you in anticipation Lyn

I’m not sure whether they will do viewings at other times - but I would phone them and ask as it is very worth while, cheers, Roger
Hi, we are visiting next week and interested in tour. I'm just wondering if the ghost tour would be suitable for 11 & 13 yr old kids. Thanks in advance, we don't want to scare the absolute crap out of them! But a memorable experience would be what I'm looking for.
