In terms of penal colonies, well Australians actually rejected this situation early in its history really. A lot of convicts were quite relieved to be able to serve sentences for despicable crimes such as stealing food to feed their families only to start new lives in this harsh place with a ticket of leave and build it into the remarkable place it is today in only a couple of hundred years. Many convicts committed petty crimes in England to escape their dreadful lives. I have spent a lot of my life travelling and I could write negatively about lots of stuff I really know nothing about too but it's much better to enjoy differences and learn more.Waynonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359919.post-16269808037408398282013-04-14T07:59:05.189-07:002013-04-14T07:59:05.189-07:00Great post - Thank you.
