Child convicts of Australia - Chapter 2 of 6 - A Day in the Life • From 1788, for 80 years, convicts were transported from Britain to New South Wales. These included children as young as nine years of age. What was life like for these children who had been sent to the other side of the world for crimes like petty theft? • • All convicts, including children were expected to work. If they behaved badly, their youth did not protect them from being punished as harshly as adult convicts. Some child convicts went on to learn a trade, gain their freedom and live successful lives. • • Step into the shoes of these child convicts to find out more about their stories. • Produced by ABC Education and Sydney Living Museums • Narrator (ABC) • HARRIET HOPE-STREETER • Featuring • ORLANDO TRIBE AVILES • JONATHAN BRANDON • WOLFGANG DEEKER • ADAM LEIZER • Interviewees (SLM) • JACQUI GREENFIELD • TODD GODDARD • Camera and post production (SLM) • JAMES MURRAY • Coordinator, Learning Programs (SLM) • COLLEEN FITZGERALD • Curator (SLM) • FIONA STARR • Producer (ABC) • JUSTINE OH • Head of Education (ABC) • ANNABEL ASTBURY • Head of Experience Learning (SLM) • JANSON HEWS • Images reproduced courtesy of • British Library • Hagströmer Medico-Historical Library • National Gallery of Australia • National Library of Australia • National Portrait Gallery, UK • NSW State Archives • State Library of New South Wales • State Library of Victoria • Sydney Living Museums • Yale Center for British Art • Full Image credits list: • http://education.abc.net.au/res/pdf/i...
