umm..there is a reason why they sent convicts instead of relocating the entire UK population over to there

Ultimately Aus, just like the original 13 US colonies, was an opportunity for petty criminals to do something with their lives, instead of wasting away in prison, they could go and found a new colony

Then again, I'm not too sure if they had a choice, they were convicts after all

they didnt send many convicts, you'd be surprised how few people can actually trace their ancestry back to one

>were your ancestors raping, murderous bastards?
>oh, gosh no! they came here for adventure

ah yes, i can just imagine many such forthright conversations going something like that

Australia wasn't even a penal colony by federation. Our populace was rather heavily farmers who came to Australia on their accord in an attempt to establish a new life, incentivised by being given land plot allocations.
America was a far larger penal colony than Australia ever was but it never became a meme. There is probably something to do with both the British and Americans not being able to take a joke. Australia didn't really inherit those colonial insecurities like the aforementioned nations have fostered.

My ancestry stems from rather well off at the time British immigrants who came to Australia under the idea of starting a new life on the newly colonised continent. By the time Australia existed, there were no convicts. An oft overlooked historical nuance.

As illustrate: there is that streak of colonial insecurity.
