Rivelin6 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Aren't all stories embellished. I think like reading newspapers you don't believe every last word but for those of us not having the priviledge of living there it's a way of understanding the complexed history of a group of people that have been widely misunderstood and mistreated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denlin Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Well that seems reasonable denlin, since native Australians were the unwitting hosts for our low lives in Victorian times Yes but we didn't send as many over there as they keep sending back, fair enough they will have had families in the intervening years but I think now they're sending back ones that have nothing to do with the ones we sent to the penal colonies:hihi::hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scozzie Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Are we talking maths or morality? Morale in Australia is at a high. Strong dollar, sun, space, lots of work, new arrivals to greet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
