The reason being for the convict migration was well, because they were convicts and were needed to put in exile somewhere other than the lands of Britain. Some believe that people had deliberately made themselves convicts as rumors spread of Australia being " the land of opportunity " as convicts were given land and goods after they had finished there sentences.
