There were no convicts sent to Darwin. Darwin was only established some time after transportation of convicts to Australia ceased.
Darwin did not have convicts.While it is true that Darwin did not have convicts, Darwin is the capital of the Northern Territory, and it was not one of the original colonies of Australia.South Australia always remained convict-free, so its capital, Adelaide, did not have convicts at any time in its history.
Prior to 1775, convicts were sent to parts of North America and the West Indies.
They were simply called "convicts".
The first convicts were sent to Australia on the First Fleet, which consisted of eleven ships. Subsequent convicts were also sent on ships, as that was the only method for transporting any cargo overseas. There were no aeroplanes.
why didnt many convicts return to England
Convicts were sent to Australia by England.
Prior to the revolutionary war which formed the USA, another 60,000 convicts were sent to North America (some sources say 50,000). About 165,000 British convicts were transported to Australia between 1788 and 1868. British convicts were also sent to Canada, as well as to its outposts in India, the Cape of Good Hope, Bermuda and Mauritius. Figures for these convicts are unknown, particularly as some of them were then sent on to Australia.
Transportation.
No. The English also sent convicts to Australia, but they stopped doing that and started sending them to Australia because America became an independent nation.
about 162,000
No, convicts were never sent to South Australia. Originally, they were not going to be sent to Western Australia (the Swan River colony) either, but the residents of that colony asked for convict labour - hence the change.
