The convicts were worked very hard. They constructed the buildings, roads and bridges and quarried the stone for building as well as cutting down the trees. They established the first farms and crops, and tended the livestock. If they did not work, they were flogged or their rations were reduced.
Some of the governors (such as Patrick Logan) were harsher than others, flogging the convicts almost mercilessly. Others (such as Lachlan Macquarie) showed the convicts a certain amount of respect, an act which sometimes caused the free settlers to feel somewhat disgruntled.

Repair them. In the early years of Australian colonial settlement, the convicts were already reluctant to work. When their tools broke, they often simply refused to work, especially given the hot and humid conditions they were not used to. Because the British authorities ignored most of Captain's Phillip's very practical suggestions regarding the inclusion of tradesmen among the convicts of the First Fleet, most convicts lacked either the skills or the equipment for repairing their tools. So - they often simply downed tools.
