Mt Wellington and Female Factory

It's one of those jaw dropping moments in life, where you reach the top of a mountain and spread out before you is a magnificent sight. On a clear day the views from Mt Wellington are stunning. In the winter perhaps you will be playing in the snow – but whatever the weather, take the opportunity to visit iconic kunanyi/Mt Wellington. On this fully escorted tour experience, the vast views of Hobart and surrounds, the harsh alpine environment of the mountain, and view the massive rock formation of the Organ Pipes.

After your descent from the mountain you tour the World Heritage Site Cascade Female Factory, for an insight into the lives of the women convicts once imprisoned there. You will have approximately 45-minutes to explore the site on a self-guided tour and learn about convict life and a largely untold story of convict women and the role they have played in developing modern Australia. Wander through the site at your own pace and peruse the gallery, gift shop and interpretive displays.
