Commonwealth of Australia | Moreton Bay
From True Patriots All , by Geoffrey C. Ingleton, who notes that the ballad is very old and possibly was contemporary with Logan's death. The manuscript was obtained in Queensland by J.R.Scott in 1916. Simon McDonald from Creswick in Victoria sings a variant of these words to a related tune, see 'Moreton Bay 2' in this collection. Patrick Logan became Commandant of the Moreton Bay penal settlement in 1826. He was hated by the convicts for his harsh methods. He did some exploring and was surveying the Upper Brisbane river when he was killed by Aborigines in 1830. Logan was a relentless flogger as shown in a sample record of his floggings that were noted in the diary of one of the prison clerks. This records that from February to October in 1828 Logan ordered 200 floggings with over 11,000 lashes. When Logan's body was brought back to Moreton Bay, the convicts manifested insane joy at the news of his murder, and sang and hoorayed all night, in defiance of the warders. Bushranger Ned Kelly used lines from the ballad in his Jerilderie Letter in 1879 (Port McQuarrie Toweringabbie Norfolk island and Emu plains and in those places of tyranny and condemnation many a blooming Irish man rather than subdue to the Saxon yoke were flogged to death and bravely died in servile chains.) In 1911, Bushranger Jack Bradshaw printed a version in his True History of the Australian Bushrangers . Bradshaw printed the song again in Twenty Years of Prison Life in the Gaols of NSW attributing it to poor old Frank McNamara. Francis MacNamara (Frank the Poet) recited it as he stepped off his convict ship in 1832 at Sydney Cove. MacNamara was subjected to all the brutality of the convict system in Australia, and was to spend years in various penal settlements. He served time in Port Arthur in Van Diemen's Land concurrently with John Kelly, Ned Kelly's father. No doubt it was there that Kelly learnt MacNamara's 'The Convict's Arrival' or 'The Convict's Lament on the Death of Captain Logan' which we now know as 'Moreton Bay'. Francis MacNamara wrote many fine poems including 'The Convict's Tour of Hell', 'The Cyprus Brig' and one of the many versions of 'The Wild Colonial Boy'.
Lyrics:
One Sunday morning as I went walking
By Brisbane waters I chanced to stray
I heard a convict his fate bewailing
As on the sunny river bank I lay
I am a native from Erin's island
But banished now from my native shore
They stole me from my aged parents
And from the maiden I do adore
I've been a prisoner at Port Macquarie
At Norfolk Island and Emu Plains
At Castle Hill and at cursed Toongabbie
At all these settlements I've been in chains
But of all places of condemnation
And penal stations in New South Wales
To Moreton Bay I have found no equal
Excessive tyranny each day prevails
For three long years I was beastly treated
And heavy irons on my legs I wore
My back from flogging was lacerated
And oft times painted with my crimson gore
And many a man from downright starvation
Lies mouldering now underneath the clay
And Captain Logan he had us mangled
All at the triangles of Moreton Bay
Like the Egyptians and ancient Hebrews
We were oppressed under Logan's yoke
Till a native black lying there in ambush
Did deal this tyrant his mortal stroke
My fellow prisoners be exhilarated
That all such monsters such a death may find
And when from bondage we are liberated
Our former sufferings will fade from mind

Brickendon Estate - Longford - Tasmania 2019
Brickendon and Woolmers Estates were jointly entered on the UNESCO World Heritage list in July 2010 along with 10 other sites around Australia to make up the Australian Convict Sites World Heritage Property. Recognised for their outstanding significance within the Australian convict system they have qualified for being -
'representative of the use of penal transportation to expand Britain's geopolitical spheres of influence, and to rehabilitate criminals and integrate them into a distant penal colony'
'associated with global developments in the punishment of crime in the 19th century'
The Australian Convicts Sites property includes the Tasmanian sites of Port Arthur Historic Site, The Coal Mines, The Cascades Female Factory, Darlington on Maria Island and Brickendon and Woolmers Estates. The remaining sites are Fremantle Prison in Western Australia, Hyde Park Barracks, Old Government House at Paramatta and The Great North Road, and Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour, all located in New South Wales and Kingston and Arthurs Vale on Norfolk Island. Jointly these sites represent 11 elements of the convict transportation system.
The following is an extract from Australian Convict Sites compiled jointly by DEWHA, and the governments of New South Wales, Tasmania, Western Australia and Norfolk Island.
Each site represents key elements of the forced migration of convicts and is associated with global ideas and practices relating to the punishment and reform of the criminal elements of society during the modern era. The 11 sites included in the listing are the pre-eminent examples of Australia's rich convict history with more than 3000 convict sites remaining around Australia representing different aspects of the story of convictism. This is unique in the world today.
The term convictism relates to the forced migration of convicts to penal colonies. The transportation of criminal offenders to penal colonies dates back to the early 17th century and occurred in many parts of the world until the abolition of transportation to French Guiana and the Andaman Islands in 1938. Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Russia and Argentina transported criminals to penal colonies across the world.
The primary motivating influences for the rise and spread of the transportation system included: geo-political ambitions which were advanced by using convicts to build or expand colonies across the globe: the punishment of an increasing population of criminal offenders to deter crime in the home state: and the reform of the criminal elements of society.
With the end of transportation to America in 1775, Britain had to find a new way to deal with a large population of criminals. The British government was pressured to resume transportation to a new destination, or to establish a new national penitentiary system. As a result, Britain commenced transportation to Australia in 1787 and established a new colony of New South Wales in what had once been known only as the Great Southern Land. Other penal colonies were established in Van Diemen's Land ( now known as Tasmania) and the Swan River Colony ( now known as Perth).
British transportation to Australia was the world's first conscious attempt to build a new society on the labour of convicted prisoners. Around 166,000 men, women and children were transported to Australia over 80 years between 1787 and 1868.

Arrivals and Departures: The Journeys of the Female Orphan School Children
The Whitlam Institute within the University of Western Sydney was proud to host the talk Arrivals and Departures: The Journeys of the Female Orphan School Children as part of the National Trust Heritage Festival 2014.
In this one hour talk, Associate Professor Carol Liston, tells some of the more unusual stories of how children came to be at the Female Orphan School and what became of them after they left.
The Female Orphan School is located on the banks of the Parramatta River and was built as an expression of the colonial government's policy of providing care for 'orphaned' girls. The girls that were living at the Female Orphan School included girls who had lost one or both parents, girls whose parent was unable to financially support them or where one or both parents were convicts. Girls were admitted to the Female Orphan School between the ages of 3 and 13. The girls were taught to read and write along with gardening, cooking, domestic work and Protestant religious instruction. The guiding mission of the Female Orphan School was to train the girls with skills that they would need to work as domestic servants.
Carol Liston also gives an overview about the various institutions for children that were established in Australia for Catholic children in later years and the establishment of the foster system and how this may have affected the Female Orphan School and Protestant Orphan School children .
The girls were apprenticed as domestic servants from the age of 11 onwards and were sent to remote areas of Australia, even to areas outside Australia. Some of the girls were apprenticed to remote squatting districts in Australia or to clergymen going to mission stations and early farming settlers in New Zealand.
Associate Professor Carol Liston is an Australian historian who specialises in the history of early New South Wales (1788-1860). Her research covers early colonial history with interests in people (convict, colonial born and free immigrant and their family histories), local history, heritage and the built environment. Her particular interest is the colonial development of the County of Cumberland (Greater Western Sydney), using land records, family history and surviving buildings to document the past.
Carol Liston is co-editor of the Journal of the Royal Australian Historical Society and holds a PhD from the University of Sydney.
The historic Female Orphan School building on the Parramatta Campus of the University of Western Sydney is the home of the Whitlam Institute and the Whitlam Prime Ministerial Collection.

Rottnest Island Old Tram
The train / tram was originally devised as a means of transporting munitions to the guns on top of Oliver Hill. Set out for a guided exploration of the Rottness Island Fortress to tour bunkers and underground tunnels and gaze into the barrel of a massive 9.2-inch (23.4 cm) Mk X gun. Along the way, listen as your guide shares insight into the island's military history – it served as an internment and work camp for suspected enemies during both World Wars.
Today, that dark chapter of the island's history is decidedly closed, and Rotto is a favourite destination for beach-goers, wildlife lovers and sun-seekers from the mainland.
