Guided Convict Tours

Take a journey back through time with our Convict Tours in Tasmania. Join us on one of our Guided Convict Tours at Woolmers Estate and venture to the numerous buildings where convicts and ex-convicts laboured and lived, later to be joined by free workers.

All proceeds from your site admission fee contributes to the ongoing preservation, presentation, conservation and interpretation of Woolmers Estate.

We encourage our local community to bring their visitors to Woolmers. Local Tasmanian people bringing a paying guest have free admission to Woolmers.

There were hundreds of convicts who worked at Woolmers, if you are a descendent of one of these very important people we would love to hear from you. The list of convicts can be accessed via this link: https://www.tasfamily.net.au/~schafferi/?file=kop88.php.

We welcome inquiries from people interested in becoming a valued guide at Woolmers.
