Cascades Female Factory – Stories Behind the Stone Walls

Tucked beneath kunanyi / Mount Wellington in South Hobart, the Cascades Female Factory offers a powerful glimpse into the lives of Australia’s lesser-known convicts — women. This UNESCO World Heritage... Site once held thousands of female prisoners and their children, many of whom never left. Built as a self-contained reform facility, the factory operated as a place of punishment and labor, where women worked in laundry and needlework to offset the colony’s penal costs. Visitors can join the Convict Women’s Tour, a 45-minute guided experience that brings the site’s haunting past to life (first tour at 10am). For a deeper connection, the Notorious Strumpets & Dangerous Girls performance tour runs at 1pm on Saturdays, Sundays, and Tuesdays — a moving 60-minute journey through the stories of seven resilient convict women.

Or, just relax in the beautiful forest surrounds, wander along the Hot Springs Nature Trail where the warm water meets the cool water, stick your hand in and feel the temperature differences!

Your cave guide will introduce you to the cave’s history, geology, fauna and unique and impressive formations. On our return to Hobart there is opportunity to stop at the many roadside stalls and collect some delicious local produce such as Cherries, Berries, Apples, Ice-creams and also a stop for a honey tasting along the way.  (fruit & produce stops are seasonal and may also vary due to changeable operating hours of the various operators.)
