This is just a wonderful learning experience for the whole family. Gripping, engaging and so sad. Take a hanky - you'll need it. Wear comfortable walking shoes and take a jacket - as it can get cool in South Hobart.

This is a terrific way to visit the Female Factory in Hobart. Tickets may be purchased at the Tourist Information Center near the harbour in Hobart. Those taking the walk meet near the Cascade Brewery. The actor playing Louisa welcomed us and began her story as we walked from the Brewery grounds, through a park and to the Female Factory... More

Liked the actors knowledge of the history/area. Liked that the starting point was at the Cascade Brewery (good, easy location). Liked that it was interactive.

You not only listen to the story as you walk around, but are included in the story with the actors noting our names at the beginning of the tour... More

Fantastic tour that is information packed & entertaining. Great actors, interaction & scenic walk from the Cascades brewery. Well worth doing - would highly recommend!

Both characters were enthusiastic & the trip they take you on heartwrenching. If you go to the cascade brewery I suggest you take louisas walk... More
