Chapter 7 – The Seascape Siege
Audiobook from The Port Arthur Massacre: Forensic Gaps, Media Silence, and a Nation Misled
Written by Charlie Armstrong Adams

This chapter reconstructs the 18-hour siege at Seascape Cottage—the final, murkiest phase of the Port Arthur story, where evidence was burned, hostages died off-camera, and Martin Bryant emerged disoriented, badly burned, and unable to explain what had happened.

Rather than a straightforward “last stand” by a lone gunman, the Seascape siege reveals a disturbing pattern of police inaction, evidentiary destruction, and unanswered questions that go to the heart of whether the official narrative can be trusted.

In this chapter, we explore:

Timeline of the 18-Hour Siege – A step-by-step reconstruction from the café shootings to Bryant’s emergence from the burning cottage, highlighting gaps, contradictions, and the lack of visual confirmation of his actions inside Seascape.

Hostage Situation Inconsistencies – Conflicting claims about the fate of David and Sally Martin and Glen Pears, the absence of proof-of-life, and the strange failure to use hostages as leverage in negotiations.

Fire at Seascape and Bryant’s Condition on Arrest – The unexplained origin of the fire that destroyed the cottage, the loss of evidence (including 43 alleged firearms), and Bryant’s burned, confused, and childlike state when arrested without resistance.

Evidence of Possible Drugging – The behavioural signs that Bryant may have been chemically sedated or neurologically compromised, the missing toxicology transparency, and how this aligns with the theory of a pre-positioned patsy rather than an autonomous mass shooter.

Tactical Response Group Inaction – Why a fully equipped police tactical team chose to wait, contain, and watch Seascape burn, instead of breaching, rescuing hostages, and preserving the crime scene.

This chapter argues that Seascape was not just the physical endpoint of the Port Arthur operation—it was the controlled destruction of the only environment that could have exposed who did what, when, and how. By the time the flames died, the narrative was safe: only Bryant remained alive, incapacitated, and perfectly positioned to carry the blame alone.
