Convicts in Australia often celebrated events such as anniversaries of their arrival, religious holidays, and local festivals.

They sometimes marked significant milestones like the anniversary of the colony's founding or the granting of pardons. Such occasions allowed them to momentarily escape the harsh realities of their lives.
