A Pack of Thieves? 52 Port Arthur Lives Tom Samek is a Hobart-based artist with a unique sense of humor. Tom was commissioned to design a set of tickets for the new exhibition gallery at the Port Arthur Historic Site, Tasman Peninsula, opened in March 1999. The tickets are based on a deck of cards, each of which depicts a scene from the life of a real Port Arthur convict. Visitors are dealt a card when they arrive at the historic site and encouraged to trace the fate of their prisoner.
Click on each of the cards to discover more about the Port Arthur Visitors' Centre as well as details about the convicts whose misdemeanours are depicted on the Ace of Diamonds and the Ace of Clubs. The complete deck of cards can be purchased at the Port Arthur Visitors' Centre along with the Visitors' Guide (illustrated above) which will be available in 2001.
