As certain parts of Australia were used as a place to where British convicts were to be banished in the past, this largely uninhabited continent gradually started seeing its first European settlers. While most female convicts who were deported had to work as maids or servants, the unlucky ones were sent to work in female factories which were regarded as the harshest places for a convicted woman to serve her time. Five such female factories operated in Hobart during these harsh times.
Those who take the tour of Louisas Walk will have the chance to examine the life of a convict who was banished to Hobart from East London. Named Louisa Regan, she was to work at a dreaded female factory until she served a sentence of seven years. Louisa was sent to Hobart in 1941 for the crime of stealing a loaf of bread. The guided tour will feature two actors one of whom plays the role of Louisa Ragan in a typical costume of a female factory worker.
