Discover Australia's oldest army base at the Anglesea Barracks. A museum is located in the former jail, built in 1847. It is filled with a fascinating collection of military memorabilia and uniforms and depicts the colonial period of British Army occupation as well as the various conflicts Tasmanian servicemen and -women have been involved in from 1899 through to current deployments.
Visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site Cascades Female Factory, where you will hear the story of the displacement, mistreatment, and forced migration of convict women and girls and their contribution to Australia from that brutal era to the present day.
