Convict Tattoos – Examining and Illustrating the Tattoos of Convict Men and Women | Simon Barnard | 2016 [HCDJ]
At least 37% of male convicts and 15% of female convicts were tattooed by the time they arrived in the Australian penal colonies — making 19th century Australia one of the most heavily tattooed English-speaking societies in the world. Simon Barnard's book draws on the convict records held by Australian archives — particularly the physical description books that colonial authorities used to record individual convicts' distinguishing marks — to document and illustrate what those tattoos actually looked like.

Convict-era Port Arthur
Convict-era Port Arthur - misery of the deepest dye - tells the fifty-year history of Port Arthur, one of the most remote and feared convict locations in colonial Australia, through the experiences of individuals who lived it. The author, David W. Cameron, draws on the words of convicts, soldiers and administrators to tell the story of Port Arthur's development, changing approaches to punishment, and eventual closure in 1877.

Convicts & Carriageways – Tasmanian Road Development Until 1880 | Lyn Newitt | 1988 [USED – HC – Out of Print]
A history of road building in Tasmania up to 1880, written by Lyn Newitt and published in 1988. The book documents how Tasmania's road network was built using convict labour during the colonial period — the construction gangs, the road stations and probation parties, the engineering challenges of the terrain, and the development of the major routes that still largely define how Tasmanians travel the island today.
