Grim Crims and Convicts, 1788 - 1820:
It was the craziest, wildest and most daring expedition the world had seen. Eleven ships with nearly 1500 people travelled 25,000 kilometers to the other side of the world. But what did they find when they arrived?
Rotters and Squatters, 1820 - 1850:
Cannibal convicts, murdering squatters, sea captains who kidnapped their crew, poor farmers forced off their lands - they had all come to the colonies of New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land to make better lives for themselves. And now there were new colonies and farms spreading around Australia.
Gold, Graves and Glory, 1850 - 1880:
For 60,000 years the rest of the world had pretty much left Australia and it's Aboriginal nations alone. Then it became a home for Britain's criminals and poor. Now a con man had found gold and suddenly everyone was heading to Australia: adventurers, revolutionaries, camels... Autralia would never be the same.
