Why did Western Australia seek convicts?
For the first fifteen years of the colony of Swan River, Western Australia, the people were all free settlers, and did not want to accept convicts. The idea was raised occasionally, mainly by people who wanted convict labour for building projects.The argument for convicts in Western Australia gained impetus in 1845 when the York Agricultural Society petitioned the Legislative Council to bring convicts out from England. Their reasons were that Western Australia's economy was at great risk due to an extreme shortage of labour. Whilst later examination of the circumstances proves that there was no such shortage of labour in the colony, the petition found its way to the British Colonial Office, which in turn agreed to send out a small number of convicts to Swan River. Following the transportation of the first convicts to WA, between 1850 and 1868, 9721 convicts were transported to Western Australia.

What did the British convicts do after Independence Day?
After the Americans achieved their independence, Britain had to find another place to which to send their convicts as the American colonies were no longer viable.

Also, the West Indies and Africa were unsuitable due to disease and climate, and India was already crowded. James Cook had recommended New South Wales (east coast of Australia) following his voyage in 1770, so the authorities decided to establish a convict colony in Australia. British convicts were transported to Australia between 1788 and 1868.

What did England use Australia for?
When the English first colonised Australia, they used it as a place to send their excess prisoners: in other words, Australia was originally established as a penal colony for British convicts. When the North American colonies refused to accept any more prisoners, the great continent in the southern hemisphere had considerable appeal as a prison from which convicts were unlikely to return. There were also many resources in Australia which the British hoped to utilise, as well as the continent being in a prime strategic position for defensive purposes in the South Pacific.
