Tasmania .... Wow!
I'm Irish & we have a long sad history of many of our ancestors being deported to your side of the world.

Yes, Fran....googling "the Irish in Australia" yields many results like:

Irish Rebels to Australia 1800 - 1806. This database contains details of Irish convicts who were transported to New South Wales in the period 1788 - 1849.
