Secret History - Norfolk Island & The First Fleet
There's a story not often told about the First Fleet settlement of Australia in 1788. It's the tale of The First Fleet's second mission - settle Norfolk Island. This small colony in the South Pacific started just 3-months after Sydney Cove was settled in 1788 even went on to save the main Sydney colony from starvation a number of times. Here's my quick-take on this fascinating chapter of Australian colonial history.

Stepping back in time at Norfolk Island, where every day is a history lesson
Norfolk Island
In 1788 Norfolk Island was settled as a convict penal colony. Over the next 60 odd years it was one of the most miserable places on earth, a hell hole for the worst of the worst convicts. Following closure of the penal colony, Norfolk Island became home to 194 descendants of the Bounty Mutineers.
A fascinating history but not much has happened since...

TASMANIAS RICHMOND BRIDGE Haunted by Convict George Grover #hauntedtasmania
The Ghost of George Grover
One the more famous of Richmond ‘s many ghosts is that of a man who was supposedly murdered and thrown over the bridge by the convicts he tortured during the building of the Richmond Bridge. He was known as the wicked Flagellator, George Grover,
George Grover had been transported to Van Diemen’s Land after being tried at Winchester England for stealing and arrived on the Earl Vincent in October 1825 two years after the start of the building of the bridge. He spent a lot of time on the chain gangs for bad behavior but by 1829 his record shows him as a Flagellator at Richmond . It was at this time that John Lee Archer, the Colonial Architect, authorised the rebuilding of the piers of Bigge’s Bridge at Richmond. Grover is said to have ridden on the heavy hand-carts full of stone from Butcher’s Hill, which had to be dragged along by the convicts, and whipped the prisoners like horses.
