JSM - edition one

G eorge H unt - continued Finally I was sent to Hobart Town, then back again to Port Arthur for me unreformable behaviour. I’m glad that none of these places can handle – they’re all about reforming and I couldn’t be reformed by them. It was because of this that I was sent to a Government Farm at New Town, and then ended up at New Norfolk where I started. I had lived my life inside a cage, and I guess after a while of tearing at the bars, a man finally accepts that he’s not going to get out of it by force. It actually wasn’t that bad there at New Norfolk – there was no labour, and not as much punishment. I tough I’d be cunning and co-operate a bit to get a ticket-of-leave. In 1846 I finally got me wish – and now I’m free. I’m a Vandemonian ticketer now and I can do whatever I want. Blimey, freedom is bliss!
