*'''Tasmania''' received more than 60,000 convicts from Great Britain in addition to convicts from other colonies. The ticket of leave butts and certificate of freedom butts for the over 67,000 convicts sent to Tasmania have not survived. The main records for Tasmanian convicts are the convict conduct registers. Information contained in these registers are similar to the tickets of leave and certificates of freedom. Description lists are also available for Tasmanian convicts and give detailed descriptions of the convicts. See [http://portal.archives.tas.gov.au/menu.aspx?search=5 Index to convict applications for permission to marry 1829-1857].<br> | *'''Tasmania''' received more than 60,000 convicts from Great Britain in addition to convicts from other colonies.

*'''Victoria and Queensland''' did not become separate, self-governing colonies until after convict transportation to eastern Australia ceased. Thus, these areas do not have convict records. Technically, during the transportation era, no convicts were transported to the Port Phillip District of New South Wales, however convicts did find their way to the District.
