On April 28, 1996, a lone gunman, Martin Bryant, carried out the country’s deadliest mass shooting, killing 35 people and injuring 23 others in and around the historic Port Arthur site in Tasmania.
For decades, the question of why he did it has haunted survivors, investigators, and the nation. Now, new insights are finally beginning to shed light on what may have driven Bryant to commit such an unfathomable act.
This is the story of that day — the lives lost, the trauma endured, and the search for answers — as told through the eyes of survivor Anita Bingham.

Loca…True Crime Conversations explores the world's most notorious crimes by speaking to the people who know the most about them. This month we’re focusing on Australia’s most notorious crimes...
It’s lunchtime, on a cool Sunday in April, and the Port Arthur historic site is buzzing with visitors.
Located at the southern tip of the Tasman Peninsula, Port Arthur is located about 100 kilometres south-east of Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. The quaint village was once a penal settlement and a main drawcard for tourists visiting Australia’s southernmost state.
At around 1:10pm, a man named Martin Bryant pays his entry fee for the Port Arthur site and parks near the Broad Arrow Cafe. He sits in his car for a few minutes. He is seen walking towards the cafe, with a sports bag and a video camera. He orders lunch, which he eats on the outside deck. To onlookers, he looks slightly nervous, but otherwise like a normal man - likely a tourist visiting Port Arthur.
That morning, Bryant had awoken at 6am, which was unusually early for him. He left his home at 9:47am and drove to Forcett, arriving around 11am. Then, he continued on to Port Arthur, where he stopped at an accommodation site in Seascape. He hated the owners, David and Noelene Martin, who had bought the property before Bryant’s father had been able to. His father, Maurice Bryant, had been devastated and years later had ended his own life. Bryant blamed the Martin’s for his father’s death.
When he arrived at Seaside, he fired several shots, killing Noelene Martin, and then stabbed David Martin.
He then continued to Port Arthur, with a lightweight, semi-automatic rifle.
What followed, was the worst massacre in Australian history committed by a single person. 35 were killed, and 23 wounded.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Martin Bryant and the Port Arthur massacre. In this first of two episodes, we'll focus on Bryant's early life and his struggles with issues that made it difficult for him to cope with the world around him. Martin developed a relationship with a millionaire heiress named Helen Harvey that changed his life in a profound way. But, was that change for the good? And, did the deaths of two people close to him cause him to lose those who had helped keep him grounded?
