Unit Description

This unit introduces students to one of the central issues of white settlement in Australia. It places transportation and convict life within the context of settlement as a whole, while at the same time examining the moral issues surrounding 19th-century crime and punishment. The unit seeks to understand the way the system was managed, and the way convict men and women sought to make the most of their situation in this country.
