Summary of what is written below: European Exploration and Prison for Prisoners Back then Britain's jails were over populated and Britain needed a new place to send all of it's prisoners. Australia was a small continent and many officials believed that Australia was the best place to keep prisoners. When the prisoners reached Australia they were set free and had to be independent and find there own food, clothes, shelter, etc. These prisoners were not big crime makers in fact most were sent to jail for small thefts. Sometimes taking a newspaper or steeling a candy from a candy shop. Some were innocent but there was no proof to prove that so they were still sent to jail. Also as European Exploration was becoming more and more popular and many Kings and Queens started investing. Explorers from the more powerful countries from all over Europe had also started to explore lands that were not yet mapped. Australia was mapped however, not much was known about it so explorers started to explore.
