Finally being recognised as an important historic site (one in four convicts transported to Van Diemen’s Land was a woman), this was where Hobart’s female convicts were incarcerated. Explore the site under your own steam, or book a guided tour or 'Her Story' dramatisation. It’s not far from the Cascade Brewery – combining the two makes an engaging afternoon. To get here by public transport, take bus 44, 46, 47 or 49 and jump off at stop 13.
