GEORGIA (US STATE) was the prior destination where British convicts would be sent. After the American Revolution this was no longer viable because Georgia was part of the newly sovereign United States. This resulted in Britain sending their convicts to Australia.

Also, the West Indies and Africa were unsuitable due to disease and climate, and India was already crowded.

British convicts were transported to Australia between 1788 and 1868.
