Photos ConvictArrow Parkhurst Boys
Parkhurst Boys 1842-1862 Although not officially classed as convicts, another group of convict boys called the Parkhurst Boys were sent to Western Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, Victoria and even to Norfolk Island. They had been rehabilitated at Parkhurst Prison and were transported under a similar arrangement to the exiles who began to arrive a few years later. The aim was to apprentice them to local settlers. http://members.iinet.net.au/~perthdps/convicts/park.html https://membership.wags.org.au/members-data/public-data/parkhurst-boys http://www.oakside.myzen.co.uk/bftext/parkhurstboysweb.htm Image: TheArtfulDodger-from-OliverTwist-by-TeaFoxKaris
