The convicts on the First Fleet were predominantly British.
About three dozen convicts were Scottish, and nine convicts were Welsh. Australia's first bushranger, John 'Black' Caesar, was a former black slave believed to be from Madagascar, who was convicted of stealing in London and sent on the First Fleet.
Later fleets to Australia had more nationalities represented, including a greater concentration of Irish convicts.
