1/5 Australians are descended from a convict. Also, America was discovered over 500 years ago. The indentured servants sent there (to Maryland mainly) were a drop in the ocean of the America's existing population at the time. There is no evidence that they got significant amounts of these indentured servants. There was one researcher who theorised that it could be up to 200 thousand but that goes against the mainstream view and as there was no records its viewed generally as a made up number. Whereas convicts were the initial population of modern Australia and the British kept records of every boat sent.

I THINK he’s saying his Dad went into the institution & was mistaken for an actual patient.

Where is the biggest desert in the world? -- Between the ears of an Australian. Plants are also dangerous in Australia for the usual reasons, but there is an unusual one called the widow maker. It is a dead branch that falls from high up to go straight down. If you are just under it, good-bye. I actually saw one while sitting on the porch at a friend's house in the forest. Across the road I heard a crack, looked up and saw a huge branch falling like that from at least 10 meters. You don't need much to worry about great white sharks, the most dangerous for people are bull sharks which are widely found in Australia, and also in the US. It is a bit surprising that he didn't mention that Australian 4x4's often have snorkels. Those are so the motor can still get air and run if they enter a low roadway which captured some water. As for the accent, it can be impossible to understand some working-class Ozzies. A friend of mine was like that and sometimes his wife saw that I didn't get it and translated for me.

We are not all descendants from convicts, a lot of us migrated from England on the 10 pound scheme. Even though one of my daughters teachers couldn’t understand this and kept telling the kids that they are all descendants of convicts if they have British ancestors

Not all of us have convict history. South Australia was free settlers only . Ours a gentleman farmer who came from Salisbury England.
