To the convicts arriving in Van Diemen's Land, it must have felt as though they'd been sent to the very ends of the earth. In 'Tasmania's Convicts' Alison Alexander tells the history of the men and women transported to what became one of Britain's most notorious convict colonies. Following the lives of dozens of convicts and their families, she uncovers stories of success, failure, and everything in between. While some suffered brutal conditions, most served their time and were freed, becoming ordinary and peaceful citizens.
