Life as a convict at Port Arthur wasn't fun.

We have to make concrete, we also have to find all the ingredients. Like, sand from the shore, water from the river and we had to dig up some clay. After we have finished all that we have to make a whole lot of bricks to use on the bridge, every one of those bricks had to have a special mark on them. The next day we started building the bridge across the Derwent river. At the end of the day everyone had sore backs and some with broken bones ||
 * Your name: Simon :) || I woke up today and realised Fred stole my boots. An hour later he was sentenced to ten lashes. Since then not much has happened, apart from the back breaking work we had to finish.

=__Life at Port Arthur!__= //0600 hours: Me mates' and I were called from our chambers to start another gruelling day on the field. We're given 2 measly minutes to get changed into our ugly working clothes and eat our filthy, disgusting rashions.//
 * Your name: Emily! || ===18th September 1816===

//1020 hours: The morning is going as slow as ever, smashing the rocks, being hit with wips by stupid guards to continue in our gruelling labour.//

//1530 hours: The lieutenant had a go at my mate Joe this afternoon. After twisting his ankle, the lieutenant gave him 8 lashes because he started 'slacking off' his work. A wake up call for all of us.//

//2110 hours: Lying in my dirty bed I start reminiscing about the theft I commited 2 years ago in West London. I was a young boy (spose' I still am) trying to find food descent enough to eat, A piece of delightful, fresh looking bread was lying on the ground on someones herb garden, seems odly strange to me, because surely that would bring the birds to the garden not scare them away. I was guessing quite rich, seeing as they own a herb garden, the lucky owners of the house must eat extravagant meals. The bread was just out of reach, oh I was so hungry! I needed to eat, or else I would starve! I grabbed the bread just at the moment a fine young lad, maybe about 6 or 7, came out of the house and started screaming, "Stealer, stealer!" And the rest they say, is history. Thinking back I regret that move of inconsideration. If I didn't grab that bread I could be at home, with my family. Hopefully one day, I will be set free.//

“Hurry up William we’ve just got a few minutes before the guard’s realise we’ve gone.” It was the Queen birthday, and also the princes William and Edwards 1 year anniversary of being a convict on VandIemans land. Which was a punishment they got for shooting the Queens royal General in the but. This was also the day had been looking forward to for a long time; because it was the day they were going to escape from prison. William who was the oldest had decided that the guards celebrating the Queen’s birthday would be a perfect cover up for them to escape to on a boat to N.S.W. They had just waken up and there plan was about to unfold; first they had to sneak into the kitchen which was easy enough because one of the guards was a child hood friend and he was going to help them escape. Once they got into the kitchen they took some knifes, matches, food\drink supplies and a bottle of oil, which was to set the whole prison on fire. After they had done that the prison went into panic and the guard’s ordered everyone to go outside, which was exactly what we wanted. Once we were outside we went to the head guard and told him we had eaten something rotten and we had to go and unload our bellies, so he assigned our guard friend to look after us wiles we went into the far bushes. Once we were well out of sight we started to run east until we reached the coast line were our guard friend had a boat waiting to take us to N.S.W. But on our way to the coast line we heard the sound of dogs and men heeling the guard’s were coming after us; But wait what was that noise it sounds like a vuvusala and a group of natives coming our way from behind us. And it seemed to look that they were fitting the guard’s. But the was no time to look at what was happening we quickly started to run and after 6houres of running we finally reached the coast where we caught the boat north to N.S.W the sea was charm to us and we had a smooth trip. When we finally arrived after 3 days at sea we were grateful to had made it this far. For the rest of our lives We spent travelling Australia as fugitives. THE END

'Hi my name is Earl Hicky i have done a lot of bad things in my life and now this is where i have ended up'. I am a convict each day i get escorted down to the cafeteria for breackfast. After breakfast us convicts get let out to the courtyard. Sometimes i get in a fight or i start one. Me and my friends play basketball, soccer and dodgeball when we are in the courtyard. Sometimes we have nothing to do so we try to escape. We get cought, so we have to stay in jail longer. After the day is over, we all get put back into our cells. We have hard cold benchesto sleep on. i hardly get people to come and visit me.
