The first tools used by convicts in Australia were supplied by Great Briatin, and brought with the First Fleet. These tools were unsuitable for use, as they broke easily in the hard Australian soil.

The tools then needed to be replaced, but there were few convicts in the First Fleet who had the skills for tool-making. They would have used parts of the broken tools to make new ones which would serve them until free tradesmen (and perhaps better skilled convicts in subsequent fleets) arrived in the colony.

What did the convict eat?

Male convicts were allowed a ration of meat per day (1lb of salt pork, beef or mutton) and 1 to 2lb per day of flour or cornmeal to make damper. If there were lucky the meat they received would be fresh but it was usually far from it. The convicts were also supplied with some tea and sugar and usually managed to buy tobacco and rum. Female convicts were given two-thirds of what the male convicts received. The convicts didn't receive and fresh fruit or vegetables, but those convicts who were lucky enough to receive a good posting were allowed to grow their fruit and vegetables on a small plot of land.

Buy Tools Before Class?

At an auto training school, you will probably have to buy your own tools for your classes. Make sure that you do this in advance.
