I read an article about this in the Melbourne News and they interviewed his descendant. Evidently they consider this murdering thug a hero in Australia. He was not a freedom fighter but a thief.

I read "A Fatal Shore" years ago. The Irish "currency" always
wanted to go back to Ireland, whereas the Scots were happy
to be relatively free of the monarchy, not to mention a fresh
start and land.

Any way, one of the more infamous Irish criminals escaped with a
handful of other convicts, and tried to walk to China (and
people think education is bad today...).

The getaway part of the escape plan fell apart when the food ran
out and they started eating one another.

The survivors ended back in prison, and yet, the cannibalism taint
notwithstanding, at least one prisoner went along with the
known cannibal's next escape.
