Filled with a fascinating collection of military memorabilia and uniforms, take a guided tour with free time to discover Australia’s military past and present.
Visit the World Heritage-listed Cascades Female Factory where your will hear the story of the displacement, mistreatment and forced migration of convict women and girls, and their contribution to colonization throughout the history of colonial Australia to the present day.
