Almost all of Australia's six colonies were settled by convicts. New South Wales, Tasmania, Queensland and Victoria all began with convict settlements (although the Victorian one did not succeed). Western Australia started as a free settlement but convicts arrived some 15 years after initial settlement. Only South Australia never had a penal colony.
