🌿 A Journey into History at Parramatta Female Factory 🌿
Yesterday, our Community Wheels clients had the opportunity to step back in time and explore one of Australia’s most significant women’s convict sites — the Parramatta Female Factory.
The site holds a powerful history of punishment, labour, confinement, childbirth, survival, resistance and resilience. Its stories are an important part not only of Parramatta’s history, but of Australia’s broader story.
Our clients were fortunate to take part in a fascinating guided tour led by the wonderful volunteers from Parramatta Female Factory Friends Inc. (PFFF). Their passion and dedication to researching, protecting and sharing the stories of the women and children connected to the Parramatta Female Factory and Institutions Precinct brought the history to life.
A big thank you to the PFFF volunteers for sharing your knowledge, stories and time with our clients. ❤️
It was a meaningful and memorable day of learning, connection and community — another wonderful outing with Community Wheels! 🚌💙
