Where did the convict sleep?

Answer 1

== == This depended on the time of their arrival in New South Wales and what the convicts actually did once they arrived in Australia. When they were being transported, they initially had bunks below decks, and were cramped and unconfortable, living in mostly dark, unhygienic conditions. Upon their arrival, the convicts of the First Fleet had tents, and later constructed barracks. Those who were lucky enough to find their skills being used later on by free settlers such as local farmers or businessmen had crude, but livable, quarters provided for them. Later on, women who were not hired out as servants lived in the Female Factory in Parramatta, which was a large, three-storey building which provided shelter but little warmth or comfortable conditions.
