I very much enjoyed it. I didn't know that they had a nursery and i was amazed where the babies were buried. I had no clue on where the female factory was. It's an awesome place.

What a fantastic way to engage the children with their imagination. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the walk personally and would highly recommend this amazing step back into Tasmania's convict history. Looking at the children's faces as their interaction was required at times was fantastic. Simply a wonderful morning had by all. Thanks again.

The walk was extremely captivating and provided a unique account of one of the many female convicts who are so often overlooked. Definately a high point in our trip to tasmania, we highly reccomend this journey back in time! A very enjoyable and insightful journey.

My kids have, as a result, developed such an interest in Australian History, including the convict era. Louisa's walk was a truly inspiring journey for all of the family, better than any other attractions we saw during the three week trip! I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tassie.

Our visits have always been successful, due mostly to the historical sites and the activities that Tasmania offer. This year in March we returned with a group of 60. The staff are always interested in the history focus for our students, but we also want them to experience this in a memorable way. After finding the link to Louisa’s Walk on the internet, contact was made with Judith, so that we could arrange a time to fit into what was an already a busy schedule. Judith was flexible with times and willingly agreed adapt her performance to meet the needs of our students. The concentration and involvement of the students and staff during the walk was an indication of the success of the performance by Chris and Judith. One of staff members enjoyed his role of gaol guard far too much! When the students returned to school they requested walking Maths and English classes, just like Louisa’s Walk! Thank you to Chris and Judith for their enthusiasm and dedication to the education of this next generation. I recommend Louisa’s Walk as a necessary item on the itinerary for all schools visiting Tasmania. A great way to learn! To Judith and Chris,
