Port Arthur - Convict's Retreat

by ATXtraveler - last update: Sep 4, 2005

A Day in the life of the English Penal Colony

How do you get free labour when building your empire?

Send your population halfway around the world for free slave labour by sending your convicts!

People who were convicted of stealing as little as a loaf of bread were sent to Tasmania, and sentenced to many years of forced labor.

One of the biggest colonies was at Port Arthur.
