Overview

The Cascades Female Factory is a World Heritage-listed historic site that reflects on the story of the displacement, mistreatment and forced migration of convict women and girls, and their contribution to the history of Australia from colonisation to the present day. Interwoven are the First Nation’s stories of Palawa, a culture which was so gravely impacted by colonisation.

Additional tours can be selected to be included in your ticket:

The 45 min Convict Women's Tour is the essential tour for first-time visitors, introducing the site's history, the women, and the convict system. Discover what life was like for women who were transported to Van Diemen's Land.

The 60 min Notorious Strumpets storytelling experience delves into the lives of seven remarkable convict women who defied adversity. Discover their resilience, the societal challenges they faced, and how some managed to triumph against all odds.
