We had a great time on this 'time travel' experience. Judith and Chris were fabulous performers with a wealth of information on the period and convict women of the 1840's. This is a highly recommended experience during your time in Hobart. Time it well and you can also do a Cascade brewery tour as this tour starts and finishes there. more

Louisa's Walk starts at the Cascades brewery in Hobart. 'Louisa' and partner transport you back to the 1840's by a lively strolling theatre which retells the story of a female convicts life in Van diemens land. Its a novel, informative and imaginative way to pass an afternoon in the city and highly recommended. Ring 0362308233 or email livehistory@hotmail.com more
