As a Tasmanian who specialises in convict history, I say well done! Very well researched and interesting. 20% of Australians can trace their ancestry to convicts and in Tasmania it is as high as 70%! I know of nine in my family tree. All transported for petty theft except one, who broke in to his employer's takings and stole a substantial sum. He was offered leniency because he was young.

We went on a night tour of the site and that separate prison almost sent me mad - I simply can't imagine what it would have been like to live there, day in and day out. The cruelty of humankind knows no bounds. Great video, thanks

thanks for sharing. Yeah, especially alot of the prisoners in the seperate prison were sent there because they were misbehaving in the normal prison---for which they were originally sent there for very small offences by today's standards.

Well done! It's great to see a visitor learning about it. What a shame that not every Australian has had the opportunity. When I was a kid (there were dinosaurs in the Earth in those days) a convict ancestry was called "the stain", and was something to be ashamed of. Now, thank the gods, it's a mark of pride. :D I knew three of the people who were slaughtered in the massacre. 😞

Britain also sent a lot of Irish 'rebels' (people who objected to the British invasion of Ireland) to Australia. The British attempted to suppress Catholicism in Australia, leading to a longstanding cultural division between Anglo and Scottish migrants and the Catholic population. The Anglo ascendancy didn't feel much of it, but the Catholics knew all about it.

Really heartbreaking and disgustingly vile what they put the prisoners through way back then. And the Port Arthur massacre, that was absolutely heartbreaking. But the Tasmanians now seem like an ok lot lol - just joking, Victorian here. If we can’t pick on Taswegians, we’ll get bored lol 😊💞

@@denisegore1884 For a lot of convicts, particularly the Irish, the "real offence" that got them transported was participation in the union, chartist or nationalist movements, or being too close to and supporting others who were. There was a research study undertaken by the Sydney Museum that really highlighted that phenomenon.
