TAKE ACTION Save the Parramatta Female Factory Precinct as a heritage & cultural destination Today the historic buildings of the Precinct remain 'off limits' to the public. Unlike equivalent convict sites such as Port Arthur and Cascades Female Factory in Tasmania, Cockatoo Island and Hyde Park Barracks in NSW, this historic Precinct has yet to receive the recognition it deserves as one of the birthplaces of modern Australia. Please support our campaign for the Precinct to be set aside as a heritage and cultural destination. Download PETITION here
