Absolutely. The Broad Arrow Cafe is now just a shell, but I think it is just as important as the more impressive ruins across the way.

A place of grief and sorrow in a place of great beauty.

The ruins are grand and photogenic. It must be a moody place at sunrise and sunset.

Important, I think, to visit and learn about its history. Like the Female Factory in Hobart, the stories of those who lived and suffered should not be forgotten.
