For the term of his natural life

Took a cruise from Strahan to Sarah island, a former brutal penal colony. Starvation, working all day in waist deep water, floggings with three cats of nine tails simultaneously (27 lashes at once), solitary confinement in cells deprived of all light and sound was an everyday occurrence for prisoners. And they had the nerve to call the indigenous peoples uncivilised.

Then went to a panto about the true life story of a daring escape from Sarah island. It's been running for 23 years and was lots of fun (oh no it wasn't!). You get the idea.

Off to Cradle Mt tomorrow, but the weather is expected to turn tonight! The wind is already up!
