Free settlers go to a place because they want to and they can leave if and when they want. Convicts sent to a settlement are subject to additional controls while they are there, they don't necessarily want to be there and they can't leave as long as they are still classed as convicts.


What year did convicts leave England to go to Australia?

The transportation of convicts to Austalia continued for many decades. The First Fleet of convicts to Australia departed England in May 1787, and arrived in New South Wales in January 1788. Transportation of convicts to Australia ended when the last convict ship left Britain in 1867 and arrived in Australia on 10 January 1868. This ship, the "Hougoumont", brought its final cargo of 269 convicts to Western Australia, as New South Wales had abolished transportation of convicts in 1840.


What did the convicts do when the first fleet landed in Australia?

After the First Fleet arrived in Port Jackson, and the convicts disembarked, they were immediately set to work establishing buildings and roads necessary for the new colony. The convicts literally built the colony. They constructed the buildings, roads and bridges and cut and quarried the stone for building. They cut down the trees and used the wood for building. They cleared the land, established the first farms and crops, and tended the livestock. After a period of time, some of the more trustworthy convicts were offered a ticket of leave, then a conditional pardon, and finally a free pardon. They were given a land grant which they could use for farming, or some of them set up a trade such as blacksmith. They did not return to England.
