Great if you enjoy a bit of storytelling and theatre. More

What a wonderful way to spend 2 hours, informative and interesting. You'll cry, laugh and come away a lot more informed about the role of women in penal colony Australia and the very under rated Female Factory. We all loved it, from the grandparents to the 6yr old. Beautiful scenery and even better storytellers. Make sure this is part of... More

You really get involved in this tour and learn so much about our history. I thought about the story for a long time after. More

A moving and detailed account of the time gone by in the Female Factory. The 2 actors drew us into the 18th century making us believe we were there. Highly recommended for anyone looking for some wonderful history of Van Deimon's Land's original colonists. More
