How the tight-knit community of Port Arthur is still deeply scarred by Australia's worst mass shooting 25 years onTwenty-five years ago the tight-knit community of the Tasman Peninsula was thrust into the international spotlight.
Kelly Spaulding was working on a farm at Saltwater River as a 19-year-old on April 28, 1996 when he heard low-flying helicopters pass overhead.
He didn't know it then but they were carrying people from the Port Arthur historic site where a gunman had gone on a rampage.
'The communications were pretty non-existent,' Mr Spaulding, now the region's mayor, said.
Mass murderer Martin Bryant (pictured), now aged 53, has never given a definitive reason for his senseless rampage
'It wasn't until I knocked off work and went to the local shop... They said there'd been a shooting at Port Arthur.'
At the time, it was considered the world's worst massacre, with 35 people killed and 23 injured by Martin Byrant, who is serving 35 life sentences and more than a thousand additional years' jail without parole.
Mr Spaulding, a fifth-generation local, headed to Port Arthur with his mum to help out after the attack but they were evacuated soon after.
'It was all pretty numb at that stage because we were gradually hearing of people that had been shot,' he said.
