Hi guys.Funny joke.As for the criminal thing,Most of my ancestors were sent over to aus as criminals.One for stealing 1/2 dozen chickens,he was 9 years old.lol Another was sent down under for stealing a coat,it was cold!lol
Not all people relocating to Aus were convicts. My mothers family arrived as free settlers on the second fleet of ships. There does seem to be more kudos among Aussies if you were a convict though
