Currently watching "Against the Wind" series, and its probably been glossed over a bit, but gee those poor buggers who came to Australia as convicts had it hard.
Yep, did that in the 80's (another massacre since then), also spent a day at the Coal-mine part ... horrifying that humans could treat each other in that way. Sara Island in Macquarie Harbour is also beautiful as scenery but can you imagine conditions for a convict wearing shackles!
