Would you agree that life is serendipitous? Would you also agree that it (life) only hands you some opportunities once and you have to grab them with both hands and run? Read on! Those of you who have been on Louisa’s Walk will know that the famous convict- made Rajah Quilt is an integral part [...]
We meet interesting people on Louisa’s Walk – no doubt about that. It’s a quality experience and tends to attract those who are looking for something a little different. We are part of Great Expeditions Top 4 Tours which means that Samuel McLennan from Great Expeditions will take you on the Top 4 things to [...]
Many schools enjoy hearing Louisa’s story and, if you read our School’s Page you will see that we offer a Primary School performance as well as The Old School which comes to you! Last Thursday, Collegiate brought two of their grade five classes. The girls had made a great effort to dress up and looked [...]
Louisa’s Walk has been running for five and a half years. During that time Chris and I have been the sole performers. Having created this “baby” it’s been hard to acknowledge that perhaps other actors could portray Louisa’s story just as well. Sometimes we are forced into change by circumstances! During those five and a [...]
The time leading up to Christmas is always a bit up and down but we have been very steady during December. Some people take a quick pre-Christmas holiday before heading home to what can be, a very busy family time. Perhaps they are pre-charging their batteries?

If you read my last post about re-creating a 19th century school room, you will know that “Live History Productions” has a new product ready to bring to schools. As on “Louisa’s Walk” our interactive approach to history engages children (and adults) in a way that other interpretations can’t possibly do. Today, we delivered the [...]
As you know, if you follow this blog, our business “Live History” of which “Louisa’s Walk” is our flagship, has a number of other products which bring the past to life. We can be commissioned to find, research, script and perform the stories of the past to re-create any aspect of Tasmania’s history. Sometimes we [...]
We buy The Age newspaper everyday except Sunday (Chris likes its political leanings and is addicted to the word games!) Fortunately for us, a sharp-eyed employee from the Cascade Brewery spotted the article on convict history in the Travel section last Sunday November 7th. He mentioned it to Chris and we were able to access [...]
We took a large group of Tasmanian Travel and Information staff from the various regional Visitor Centres on Louisa’s Walk today. Three new staff members from the Hobart Centre also joined us plus a couple of bona fide tourists from Queensland. We are always particularly pleased to give our gatekeepers, working at the coal face [...]
