Description
This book explores issues surrounding the transportation of convicts to Australia, and also places the practice of transportation in an international context. It discusses convict labour and skills, diet of prisoners, the British military's role in the penal settlement, the activities of the Female Factory system and the struggle to bring convict transportation to a conclusion.
