The Cascades Female Factory is a World Heritage‑listed historic site that reflects on the displacement, mistreatment and forced migration of convict women and girls, and their contribution to Australia’s history from colonisation to the present day. As you move through the site, you will explore the places and stories that reveal daily life under the convict system and how these histories are interwoven with First Nation’s stories of Palawa, whose culture was gravely impacted by colonisation.
You may choose additional guided experiences to deepen your visit. The Convict Women’s Tour is described as the essential tour for first‑time visitors and introduces the site’s history, the women who lived here and the workings of the convict system, including what life was like for women transported to Van Diemen’s Land. The Notorious Strumpets storytelling experience focuses on the lives of seven remarkable convict women, examining their resilience, the societal challenges they faced and how some managed to overcome adversity. Check the official website for other options or special events that may be available.
