About this activity

This is a value-packed combination tour, showing what the city of Hobart is most renowned for - it's fascinating convict history and its outstanding natural beauty. Witness fine examples of both, while being informed and entertained by our experienced local driver guides. Once you have finished exploring at the Cascades Female Factory our driver will return you back to our departure point or those wishing to take the (2 klm) scenic walk back to the city along the Hobart Rivulet can do so at their own pace using our printed guide. Keep a lookout on the waters edge for the platypus that call the rivulet home.

One of Australia's most significant historical sites for women, the Female Factory was the female equivalent of Port Arthur and was used to hold both women and children throughout the 1820's.
