2010-01-26 - Invasion (Australia) Day

So the ancestors are convicts but foriegn ones too ;)

In all seriousness ever read what some people got deported for and some of the stories from Van diemans land prisons? These are the only ones I have read but cannot imagine the horribleness of the reality.

noooo, they didn't send them to australia, silly.

but on the note of VDL - you should talk to my very quietly spoken and polite fellow phd-er at king's.. many many grizzly stories... think he might be a total sadist, would have to be to read through all the stories on that topic, all day, for four years.. i don't like convict history much. bo-ring.
