The Awful Confession
from Warm Red Earth Hosted by Kate Heffernan
Have you heard about those convicts in Tasmania who had to resort to cannibalism? No, the other convicts. Yes, it happened twice. In 1830 five convicts escaped from the brutal penal settlement of Sarah Island, in Macquarie Harbour. Only two made it back to civilisation. And they both made an awful confession about what happened to the other three men.
