5.00Most informative. The experiences of female convicts were extremely harsh, inflicted by a patriarchal society with no intention to rehabilitate or cognition of human rights.

5.00Although the weather didn’t cooperate, Colin our driver found alternatives and we were able to enjoy a wonderful view from Mt Nelson. Very informative tour. Cascades female factory is A MUST. Our history should never be forgotten. Found the download commentary easy and interesting. Thanks again to our driver Colin who gave some personal history and perspective on the Women’s lives. Great morning tour.

5.00The trip to Mt Wellington may be delayed even cancelled as it closes due to ice roads & the weather can be unpredictable. We had a beautiful Guide who made up for it taking us to other great lookouts. Cascade Female Factory- I would recommend a guided tour!! I had the app to listen during my visit. I still missed so much with many questions unanswered.
