First we went to MONA the museum of old and new art. From Tara, Mum and my point of view it was very …”different”. Dad liked most of it even though he said he couldn’t really understand the meaning of some parts. Tara, Mum and I skimmed through a couple of rooms before heading to the café! Later we went to the wharf and had some very nice fish and chips for lunch before going to the Female Factory. The Female Factory was a convict prison for women. Other than one, all of the buildings are no longer there although the big stone walls separating each yard are still there. Each yard had a purpose. One section was for solitary confinement, this was also broken up into 2 sections one was the completely dark no noise one which was for a more severe punishment and the other part was cells that had a little light, but while in them, the convicts had to pull apart big pieces of rope with their hands. Their hands would eventually become raw, blisterd and infected.

 This was a trampoline at MONA that for some reason gave us two bodies in the photos.
