ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book explores the most complicated promotional relationship of crime-related dark tourism which is the former penal colony of Port Arthur in Tasmania. It examines the diverse forms of memorialisation that one encounters in landscapes devoted to the remembrance of crime. The book devoted to Port Arthur in Tasmania demonstrated that one of the most picturesque and tranquil places in the world can simultaneously attest to colonial penal violence and a contemporary mass shooting. It highlighted other techniques of interpretation and representation that operate at crime-related dark tourism sites. The book revealed the vital role that a unique subset of metonyms synecdoche plays in connection to crime-related dark tourism. It revealed the Port Arthur Memorial dared to mark the landscape with memorial objects and plaques that unambiguously testified to the crime that took place at the site.
