people dont realize that there were alot of other people who came with these "convicts". at the time england was overpopulated immensely so they would look for any excuse to deport someone, hardly any of these so called convicts committed serious crimes... |

Australia's "convicts" were mostly people who owed outstanding tax and personal debts.
It was effectively a debtors' prison colony, not some kind of Snake Pliskin playground :p

Plus Adelaide was settled only by free settlers, no convicts sent here;)
I saw a doco (actually only 5 mins worth, I gave up on it cos it was crap) about convicts and one was a 15 year old girl who stole some clothes. What a heinous crime!:eek: |

So you're saying my (possible?) ancestors sucked at their yearly tax returns? . I guess the English thought that sending the convicts to a warm place was sending them that much closer to the flames of hell.
Oh well :stongue: |
