gunnyhunny i understand your comment but i cannot help takeing from your comment that the suffering of the ethnic europeans that was transported to said van diemens land should be forgotten and not shared because it fails to compare with the suffering of the indigenous people of this place they are free to write and sing and upload there history to youtube the same as we are the slaugter rape and crimes against humanity where going on long be the european arrived
