The Cascades Female Factory Historic Site, located at 16 Degraves Street in South Hobart, is a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site that offers a poignant glimpse into Australia's convict past.

Today, visitors can explore the preserved yards, including the Matron's Cottage, and engage with immersive tours that narrate the stories of the women who lived and labored here. The site is open daily from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, with regular tours available throughout the day.
