Former magistrate Bob Harrap, who pressured or bullied three women to help cover up his speeding fines, has had his head sentence increased from 18 to 21 months, following an appeal by the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The story of Irish Prisoners on The John Calvin Convict Ship in 1848.
Children as young as 12 years old were among the Irish female convicts who had been sentenced to 7 years transportation and imprisonment to Australia . This is the story of some of those Irish women and children. It follows them from their conviction to where they wait to board the convict ship.
I explain what happened to them when they arrived in Australia as convicts. How they were treated and their eventual release. I have traced some of these women’s’ descendants and have family trees dating right up to the present day.
This is the story of one convict ship and its cargo of Irish women and children sent to prisons in Australia.

Já a ilha Rottnest é um polo intenso de turismo com a antiga prisão convertida em pousada. Dispõe de parques de campismo, e pequenos cafés. Com o seu imponente farol branco Bathurst, RottnestIsland é um dos lugares mais bonitos de Perth. A ilha fica a 20 km do porto de Fremantle. Além de abundante vida marinha, podem ver-se diversos marsupiais, focas, gaivotas e bancos de corais com milhares de peixes coloridos. As pessoas não usam carros, andam a pé, de bicicleta ou de autocarro, embora estes não possam deslocar-se a todos os locais. A ilha tem animais estranhos, que parecem pequenos cangurus, e pulam como eles, trata-se de um roedor, parecido com o esquilo, porém maior, o Quokka (Setonixbrachyurus) que é nativo da ilha. Além destes, também há pavões soltos pela ilha.
