Australia was the site of British exile in the 19th century. In 1787, the first ship to transport convicts left England and sailed to Australia, arriving in Australia early the following year, and the disembarkation site was named "Sydney". After the turmoil, Britain successively established Laqi prisons and penal colonies in New South Wales and Tasmania to impose forced labor on convicts.

In 2010, 11 penal sites, including Port Arthur Prison and Hyde Park Barracks, were approved UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

In 1770, Captain Cook discovered Australia and claimed sovereignty over the Huaiqing region on the east coast of Australia in the name of Great Britain. Due to Australia's geographical isolation, and as a result of the end of the American Revolutionary War on 30 November 1782, representatives of the United States and Great Britain signed a peace treaty in Paris. Australia is considered the best place to exile these prisoners.

So King George III decided to make Australia a centralized penal colony. On January 26, 1788, a fleet of 11 ships sent 548 male and 189 female convicts to Australia, and by 1840, Australia had sent 160,000 convicts. The number of children of the convicts is not known, but it is estimated that the total number of convicts and children is more than 200,000.

Over the next 80 years, about 10,000 men and women convicted of criminal offences were exiled to a number of different penal colonies across Australia.

It was a penal colony, and there were also indigenous people. It should have been established by prisoners.
