Worth doing the tour, actors act out the story of this site, very sad they tell the story of the female convict factory and how hard life would of been for the female convicts every day.

Louisa's walk is a great way to learn the history of the female convicts sent to Tasmania. Highly recommended.

The actors engaged well with the small group and we really felt part of the experience. It is very well done. I just... More

The walk obviously has made quite an impression on people and therefore i will go check it out.
