If you are visiting Parramatta to see the exhibition 'Women Transported' walk the extra 5 minutes to the Parramatta Artist Studios Gallery, 45 Hunter Street, right next door to St. John's Cathedral to see well over a thousand bonnets in a unique display portraying the convict women story. So far 11,000 people have paid tribute to their female convict ancestors or have 'adopted' a female convict to learn about and commemorate. This number is almost half the number required to achieve Roses from the Heart's objective of a permanent public Memorial to ALL convict women transported to Australia. For more details look under Events at artist Christina Henri's website: www.christinahenri.com.au

Thanks for the message, how would I go about paying tribute to the convict grandmothers I have?

This site won't allow me to show you some of my photos taken in March at the 'Blessing of the Bonnets' at the Old Geelong Gaol. A very moving day for all who attended.
