when it was a Penal Colony

That is just so typical! Reverting back to the old argument when all else fails! The so called convicts who were sent here were in fact the lucky ones! Face it, they themselves may have done it hard but thier offspring now live in a magnificent country full of sunshine and warm weather, less crime, less deaths (murders etc), less stress, living standards are cheap and easy, great beaches, dumbass primeminister, (huh!! I guess we all have the same thing in common there), great looking females, (ones that dont have hairy armpits and moustaches!), less chance of nuclear missles actually reaching our shores, no volcanoes, no hurricanes, no typhoons, no monsters hiding in our lagoons, cheap and fresh fruit and vegetables, plenty of cows and sheep (lambs) to slaughter (to cook on the barbeque), plenty of fresh seafood, no major plane crashes (go Quantas)!! That all sounds just fine to me.
On the downside, we have the most poisonous snake and spider and we have bloody great big white pointer sharks!!
Now tell me, were the British so wrong in sending convicts here? If the British had of used their brains, they would have moved here and left the convicts over there! (Thats not a dig at all British people just the ones who believe they are in control! A bit like our Primeminister!).
And just to finish off, I am not a Scotsman and nor would I want to be, they (one in particular) think they are the ultimate race!
Heh you will never know how bad you 'really' have it in your own county until you have visited the great land of OZ! Then when you return back home you will forever hate your own country as you would have visited a country that you can just not forget!
BTW, did I happen to mention the great aussie nature of our people? Thanks for sending over all the convicts who only got pushed out of their original country for just trying to get a better deal and get some food and clothing for themsevles! A bit harsh I feel!
