The Cascades Female Factory is a World Heritage-listed historic site that reflects on the story of the displacement, mistreatment and forced migration of convict women and girls, and their contribution to the history of Australia from colonisation to the present day. Interwoven are the First Nation’s stories of Palawa, a culture which was so gravely impacted by colonisation.
