Short History of Convict Australia PDTV x264 AAC MVGroup 1998

The first fleet of ships carrying 700 convicts left England in 1787 on a 15,000mile voyage from
Portsmouth Harbour via Rio de Janeiro and Cape Town to Botany Bay in Australia. Ian Wright sails in
the wake of these reluctant global explorers to discover exactly what their voyage was like. He
learns the tactics of the pressgangs - spiking rum with opium to ensnare their victims being a
particular favourite. Ian also visits Port Arthur in Tasmania where he hears about experimental
punishments designed to 'break the convict spirit' and turn the men into model citizens. He also
heads for Norfolk Island off the coast of New South Wales where the prison was reportedly so brutal
that convicts would rather commit mass suicide than be imprisoned there.
