    2. Trudy Cowley
    3. Hello Everyone (again) In 1828, female convicts at Cascades Female Factory made a Christening robe for the newborn daughter of the Matron. This Christening robe is to be gifted to the Tasmanian Museum & Art Gallery and is to be showcased at the Female Factory Historic Site. A gifting ceremony will be held at the Wesleyan Church, Melville St, Hobart on Wednesday 16 November at 4pm. Anyone who is interested in attending is welcome. This is a significant artefact of Tasmanian women's history.
