Mary Bryant was convicted of theft in 1786 for stealing a quantity of fabric and other items in England. She was sentenced to transportation to Australia as punishment, which was a common practice for petty criminals at the time. In Australia, she famously escaped with a group of fellow convicts, embarking on a daring journey before being recaptured. Her story is notable for highlighting the harsh realities of transportation and the struggles of early Australian settlers.
