A Convict's Life In Brisbane

Step back to 1820s Brisbane — when this river town was not a city, but a place of punishment.

In A Convict’s Life in Brisbane, you’ll walk the streets where female and male convicts laboured under the watchful eyes of red-coated soldiers and Commandant Patrick Logan. Through cinematic avatar storytelling, you’ll uncover what daily survival truly meant in one of Australia’s harshest penal settlements.

Stand where the barracks once loomed.
Hear the whispers of chain gangs and government gardens.
Follow the footsteps of those who endured hunger, punishment, and isolation — yet somehow carved out resilience in a brutal new colony.

Narrated by Mary herself, this atmospheric tour blends history, drama, and human emotion into a powerful storytelling experience.

Includes 8 immersive stops—each featuring cinematic films, dramatic narration, and true colonial history brought vividly to life.

This is not a tour of dates and dusty plaques.
It is a human story.
