I find its very interesting when you start to read some of he accounts of Sydney & how it was begun & the people involved. From Bennelong & Barangaroo, Bugarabee, Pemuway, Cora Gooseberry, Just to name a few.
It was a Hard Existence in the Beginning, These were Prisoners & Criminas who had been forced to sail hafway round the world to a Prison colony. Most would never see their Families or England or their home countries ever again.
