While Heidi was here we made a visit to the Penitentiary Chapel in Hobart, as we had missed out on Port Arthur! The place was built with convict labour, and the bricks marked accordingly. The Judge presiding on the day we were there was none other than Judge Raether, visiting from Germany, the sentence was death by hanging and then the body was dissected for medical science afterwards. Orrible lot they were!

Wasn't it rather gruesome?
