Today's feeling/Blog emotion: Burma's junta Government of insane generals. Great criminals. Great cowards. Ice-hearted killers of their own people. No Asian face saving is possible here. Burmese army, most useless army in the world. Burma's population, possibly now most miserable, hopeless people in the world.	Look for this Home Page navigation button as you travel here.

But the Main Purpose...

The main purpose of this website is to deliver to the Internet a major history writing/research project - The Blackheath Connection.
Producing this has been a major exercise, reviewing the history of convict transportation from England (or, Britain) to North America 1718-1755, and later to Australia from 1786-1810.
Research for this has been undertaken since 1977 – and it continues.
I refer to this project as a website book, (a surfable book?) and a detailed follow-up on the period 1810-1865 is now being completed and is due one day on the Net
If you are attracted to The Blackheath Connection, prepare for some surprises by way of discovering a new set of perspectives on the rise of Australia's convict colonies from 1788!

Various other of my writings, and various pages arising from my areas of general interest will also gradually appear on this domain. So please keep watching...

The history websites on this domain now have a companion website on a new domain, at Merchant Networks Project produced by Dan Byrnes and Ken Cozens (of London).

And in general, please feel quite free to email on any topics you find treated on these websites.
