The Convict Stain


There are not too many memorials to convicts in Sydney. This one is down in The Rocks.
Transportation of convicts to New South Wales was finally abolished in 1840 and shortly afterwards, in 1842, Sydney was declared a city.

    I have photographed one side of this and have been meaning to go back and do the other two sides.
