TEST - Abbotsford Convent Social-History Tour (CANCELLED)
About
Join our passionate guides to discover the diverse history of the Abbotsford Convent and explore hidden pockets of our historic precinct.The Convent was once one of the largest Catholic complexes in Australia, and in the early 1900s was the largest charitable institution operating in the Southern Hemisphere. In 2017, Abbotsford Convent became the 111th site added to the National Heritage List, being recognised for demonstrating Australia’s social and welfare history through the lens of a religious and charitable institution.
On the walking tour, you will discover the diverse history of the Convent; from its use as a meeting point for the Kulin Nation, to its days as a convent when the Good Shepherd Sisters ran a closed monastic site for over a century, and how it came to be the leading arts and culture precinct it is today.
