Travelling (lentokoneella) can be a nerve-racking experience if you don’t have the right attitude towards it. First of all you will have to accept that it will probably involve a lot of queuing.
Security check is always an exciting situation. Even people who have nothing to be nervous about get nervous in those situations. ‘Will the gate peep? (Jätinkö) some liquids in my handbag? Is lip gloss a liquid? Oh no, my bra has underwiring!’ Sometimes (Sinut viedään/otetaan) aside for a more thorough swipe with a traffic control sign look-a-like metal detector. You might get patted down by the officer asking you if you have any sharp objects on you. ‘Only my brain’, might not always be a good answer.
There could also be delays. And (pahimmassa tapauksessa) your flight might get cancelled altogether. Standing behind you in the queue could be a person (joka) constantly keeps complaining about how slow the queue is moving and bumps on your heels with his or her baggage. On the plane you could be sitting behind a longhaired person whose ponytail ends up on your tray, or behind you there could be a toddler who kicks your seat (aina silloin tällöin/vähän väliä) during your 5-hour flight. At this point you might be thinking ‘If only (minulla olisi ollut) enough money for a business class ticket’.
People have been commercially flying (1900-luvun alusta asti). I wonder what the passengers had to endure back then. In comparison to that your flight should be a walk in the park. Sometimes things do go as planned — at least they did (toissaviikolla), I hear.

Some of the most uncommon Australian World Heritage Sites might be the Australian convict sites which are spread in eleven different places around Australia. The British Empire condemned criminals, delinquents and political prisoners to these penal sites during the 18th and 19th centuries. Around 166,000 men, women and children over nine years of age were sent to Australia over the span of 80 years. This transportation and forced labour was implemented on a large scale both for criminals and for people who were convicted for relatively minor offences. (1)

There were 19 crimes that could lead a rogue to receive a sentence second only to death in its severity — being sentenced to live in Australia rather than receiving a death penalty. The crimes could vary from petty theft (pick-pocketing under 1 shilling, stealing clothes from a clothes-line, receiving stolen goods), to more serious burglary or breaking and entering, highway robbery (often involving violence), stealing clothing, jewellery or other household items (common among females who worked as domestic servants or prostitutes), stealing animals, prostitution and political protests to the most serious crimes of assaults (the number of convicts transported due to crimes of violence was fewer than 5%). (2, 3)

The First Fleet of 11 ships left Portsmouth for Australia in 1787 with more than 1,480 men, women and children on board. The journey wasn’t easy — hunger and diseases roamed among the convicts closed in tight quarters. The voyage took three months and many lives. Once the British arrived in their colonies the Aboriginal people who had lived there in isolation for 40,000 years were forced to move to the more infertile inland. (4)

In the colonies convicts who committed further crimes received harsh punishments. The punishments were quite brutal and feared: cat o’nine tails (fifty whip lashes) was a common punishment. Or being chained to a gang of convicts, shackled in ankle irons or chains weighing ten pounds or more and being forced to for example make new roads. (5)

Records were kept of these convicts. One of them was Mary Wade — a child of only 11 years of age once sentenced to be transported. For her hideous crime of stealing she was first sentenced to death, but it was later altered. She spent her life in Australia reproducing and had 21 offspring. She is considered to be one of the founding mothers of Australia. One of her most famous descendants is the former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.
Another name to be mentioned is John Hudson, an eight-year-old boy, an occasional chimney sweep, who was found guilty of breaking and entering a dwelling and stealing one linen shirt, five silk stockings, one pistol and two aprons. He had no-one to defend him at court, his parents were deceased and during the trial he only spoke 13 words after which the judge knew he was doing the right thing by transporting John. At the age of 16 he is recorded as receiving 50 lashes for being out of his hut after nine o’clock. (6, 7)
