Which UNESCO World Heritage Site in Australia includes the former convict settlement of Port Arthur?

The UNESCO World Heritage Site that includes the former convict settlement of Port Arthur is Australian Convict Sites.

Australian Convict Sites is a serial World Heritage property consisting of 11 locations across Australia. Together, they document the transportation of British convicts and the systems of punishment, forced labour, administration, and reform used between 1787 and 1868. Port Arthur, on Tasmania’s Tasman Peninsula, is one of the most famous components.

Port Arthur operated as a penal settlement from 1830 until 1877. It became known for its strict discipline, industrial work, and the separate prison system, which sought to reform prisoners through isolation and surveillance. The surviving buildings and landscape make it an important source for understanding convict life.

Port Arthur is not itself the full UNESCO property name; it is one component of Australian Convict Sites. Another common mix-up is the Tasmanian Wilderness, a separate UNESCO site that covers extensive natural and cultural landscapes in western Tasmania.
