Transportation to Australia involved sending convicts from England and Ireland to Australia in the 18th century as an alternative to imprisonment. Over 160,000 convicts were sent to Australia starting in 1787 after transportation to America stopped in 1775. The trip conditions were terrible and many convicts died of disease or were weakened. Life in Australia involved hard labor and confinement in dangerous prisons, with possibilities of conditional or absolute pardons allowing convicts to eventually return home.
