Yesterday, we went to Port Arthur, a very famous, very much still intact prison from the late 1800s. It was really cool seeing everything.
The part I think I found most interesting, though, was that anyone in any of the British colonies could be sent to Australia to serve their time. AND if they had money, they could go back to wherever they were living. Meaning that those Canadian convicts could return to Canada. So Canadians can (possibly unknowingly) have convicts in their history that served time in Australia, possibly at Port Arthur.
Anyways, that's all I have to say right now. I'm currently on a city tour if Hobart. Ta! xxx
