Uncover what you can about what life was like for the cadigal people, the more common owners of the area, as soon as convicts had arrived and settled in. Overview discover in this audio file what life was like for the convicts who first found its way to sydney.Associate teacher grace karskens explains that, unlike popular opinion, most convicts were not limited to gaol or work gangs.Many convicts settled in the rocks area in their own houses and could conduct a normal life of business, family life and free. Records00:00:11:21RICHARD GLOVER:Are you one of our regular students for personal development wednesday?Weekly, you get to learn a new generation and each week, you can attempt out what you've learnt on our website, where there's already a pop up test focused on today's lesson.Your lesson this week convict strategies of the rocks.Your teacher isAssociate tutor grace karskens, senior lecturer in australian history at the university of nsw.Acceptance, good day.If people are aware of it at all, those crooked laneways and stairs linking out, 'cause the very steep area.You might wonder why it's like that 'cause it's so dissimilar to the modern city which is a grid and a lot of suburbs are grid pattern too, and somewhat dull.The rocks is crazy.Wl, what makes them like that?Because at first they were based on footpaths on people walking between houses and pubs and shops and not on planning.So next, their modus operandi is take the shortest path over the rocky slopes it's very rocky there.And now days, most of them have been straightened and levelled, but you can still get a sense of those ghostly imprint of the footpaths of the very first people who lived there.00:01:21:15RICHARD GLOVER:Right away, who were folks?00:01:23:02GRACE KARSKENS:Extremely successfully, formerly of course, have been the cadigal people, but when you are done1788, they can be the convicts of early sydney.They started building houses in the rocks from1790 that's only two years after the first fleet comes here and that's another critical secret, it looks like, with all the rocks, the idea was the convicts' side of the town, it's where they made their families and their community.00:01:47:01RICHARD GLOVER:So the state garrisons are over the other side, near where we will find the opera house or the toaster now?00:01:51:16GRACE KARSKENS:Yes it's true.To tell the truth, they were up where navy house.In addition to side, break up by the tank stream, stands outAs the convict side.At this point, this is appealing because, you grasp, people i've talked to, and internet site too, imagine that convicts were always chained up, flogged and often lived in jail, but the true story is the contrary.These are the founding people of modern australiaAs wellAs the first30 years, they did not live in jail they built their own houses or they lived in other convicts' housesAs boarders or lodgers.So, regular could form families the lucky ones formed families, there weren't enough women to go around unfortunately but the business ones also established businesses.Subsequently, this is the alternative to the imprisoned, shackled convicts.Great deal that happened to, yeah the ones who were committing crimes and they were in jail most people just got on utilized to once they got to sydney.00:02:50:02RICHARD GLOVER:Well, and their deal might be that they had to do some work for the federal government.Nicely, further, should you have had capital and, you determine, should you have had a skill, you didn't have to work for the federal government.You went off and set off the business butchery or a stonemasonry or whatever and that's how the colony got built, in actuality.00:03:11:05RICHARD GLOVER:And do we have a sense of what sort of lives they led in these houses they built on their own?00:03:16:05GRACE KARSKENS:For sure.Um.They can, with there being still remnants of these houses on the rocks, if you walk up the slope, quite steep wear your walking shoes and go up to the top streets, cumberland and gloucester roads.You might discover the solid stone foundations of the houses that they built, convicts and even ex convicts, they're on the famous cumberland gloucester street site which has now got the sydney yha built over the top of it dwelling floats over the site and it's really fantastic, it's famous for a simple reason.Towards the, you are already aware, the whole of sydney's 19th century history seems written there in stone.As there is more secret history too, because the moment the archaeologists dug it up, they unearthed this excellent array of stuff, from cookware to sewing goods and building material and toys and jewellery and tableware, and all these products.So while people consider convicts are typified by the ball and chain, actuality, these are the things that typify their lives and criminal record check see them in the rocks discovery museum also.And another thing is, anywhere in the rocks and in early sydney there is history under our feet given that places have that archaeology lying hidden under our feet.00:04:29:05RICHARD GLOVER:Far from the style of old sydney town of the shackled convict being lashed every five minutes, this is quite some type of tidy, indigenous house.Level of comfort i wouldn't quite call it bourgeois but it's sort of.So we not only have the the archaeology of gortyn to learn from, which tells us for this hidden, secret history it's wonderful but there are fragments in the documentary sources, like in the books that look for.As because, clearly there seems to be a surgeon, philip cunningham, who published a news report in 1827 of what the rocks was like, and he explained,As he looked inside the homes, 'inside hygiene and comfort appear most conspicuous'.Get real, isn't?'And in passing along our back streets, About dish hour, You will almost globally observe a clean, Newly unfolded cloth spread upon the table with a shining show of dinner products upon it, All equally attractive.' And benefit.End of what he wrote.But even24 years until now that, have been a couple that got married on the rocks in 1803 john kenny and ileana gallagher.They had a home equipped with chairs and tables, a settee, decorative showcases, marks, together with glassware and blue and white delftware, which little still have today i happen to have that today.So they will like their comforts.They're not like us 'cause they're notAs enthusiastic about respectability or, you are sure of, one upmanship of nearly almost everyone, but they similar to their domestic comforts, and that's a different image than we have of, that you understand, the convicts sent to down under.00:06:07:00RICHARD GLOVER:They're coming here to get lives, are they not?00:06:09:05GRACE KARSKENS:Avoid, they're coming here to do lives.00:06:10:23RICHARD GLOVER:The feel is of a new settler instead of being of a prisoner.00:06:13:08GRACE KARSKENS:You heard right.Read that right.And a lot of bring stuff with them some of it to sell and some to put in these houses.They're determined to make new lives in opposition of the world.00:06:22:08RICHARD GLOVER:Describe the houses they are.These people are quite small, are they not?00:06:25:00GRACE KARSKENS:Let me tell you, i created thought they would've been, remember, though, in general, when most people look at the houses on the site, they're clearly quite big, but it normally won't have a lot of rooms.For example, top three.Average rooms might possibly be two.And this is another way that we can learn about men and women in terms of their culture and the way they think.From now on, just about everyone has more than two rooms in our houses, and we expect of each room having a function, like bedrooms for beds and resting, and the kitchen's in order to smoke, or a, you are already aware, the sitting room's for taking care of telly.This won't happen in early sydney the only definition.The only difference they have is the inner and the outer room fascinating.This, utilizing the inner room, that would be where you'd have a bed, you'd hide your valuable, including things like silver or panes of glass 'cause they were very valuable so it's a bit more private there.But then you'd have you room which had the fire where you did your cooking and where people could sit by the fire and share a pipe or a glass of something.So it's so dissimilar to the way we think about our houses.00:07:30:03RICHARD GLOVER:It's a real notion of an individual space and a public space.00:07:32:20GRACE KARSKENS:Yes, dealing, though it's still some more.Everyday people young and old often drank in one room, with a bed in the corner and everyone sitting around the table or the fire on the reverse side of the room.Which means that, they haven't devolved into all these manyAssorted rooms that we have.00:07:45:24RICHARD GLOVER:They're also working from home, are they not?00:07:47:19GRACE KARSKENS:You heard that right.And, that is the other difference there is to us, 'cause all of us of, you go to work in other places and then you come home, and they're not the same, and in most cases there's a long commute between. These people worked in their homes and their yards, Therefore,Um, Folks like bakers and butchers and.00:08:05:10RICHARD GLOVER:We're still talking about those who are convicts.They haven't finished their sentence on the grueling.00:08:09:17GRACE KARSKENS:Not them.One or two have.00:08:11:09RICHARD GLOVER:But some are still a convictAs they're workingAs a butcher engaged and having a wedding, finding the delft tableware and.As.And with luck, making a good living from being a butcher or whatever.00:08:24:03GRACE KARSKENS:Beautifully, it's quite a dynamic place, early quarterly report, nobody got to do this.If you didn't have capital or skills or you were a bozo, desire, this didn't happen you appeared in a gang, making bricks anywhere.But the rocks attracts the people who got the get up and go and the money to do it.If you get off the boat with your butchering equipment like your knives and money, from you go, set up your home based business.If there' no requirement those things, you've gotta get your rations from while, so you go and work for the costa rica government for half the day.00:08:53:11RICHARD GLOVER:People were allowed to bring tools of trade included?00:08:55:21GRACE KARSKENS:Yes, they brought trunks because of their clothes and china and things to sell, because they knew things would sell well here this type of person consumers. (Chuckles)00:09:03:02RICHARD GLOVER: Are the women being employedAs well, Within these houses?00:09:05:07GRACE KARSKENS: Women workAs well.This is normal too.I'm talking about, it's only later that it's decided that pretty good women don't work. Working class women continually worked, And what they have to did on the The Rocks especially, They workedAs publicans and providers, People were laundresses.00:09:22:16RICHARD GLOVER: MerchantsAs in card retailers?00:09:24:11GRACE KARSKENS: Virtually hardly any,Um, Suppliers.00:09:25:11RICHARD GLOVER:Outlets.00:09:26:10GRACE KARSKENS:Giving things.So among the shops, that is why.They'd buy things off the ships and and and then sell on them in the shops.Seamstresses.You have heard of, fixing stockings?Brothel owners.Some of them opened little schools for the family.Others had restaurants.Distinctly, very busy city, and women were in all the.In simple terms, you couldn't run a business until you were married.Should you be a man, you needed a wife to run business for you.00:09:49:00RICHARD GLOVER:And you mentioned your children part of this picture, needless to say.00:09:52:03GRACE KARSKENS:They're thing picture, and this is another secret that one can learn about.They don't carefully consider children the way we do. We think of childhoodAs an individual time, Children are innocent and they must be protected.They loved their kids and they did protect them and they educated them and trained them, but children were the main adult world. They didn't shield them from the likes of hangings or,Um, Other distressing things, They were just about anywhere they were sent off to get booze from the pub and they brought it back.And the thing is sometimes this lack of separation in the house had tragic consequences for children, because after getting little, markedly, they are able to fall down an uncovered well, 'cause they didn't cover their wells everyday.A lot of times they'd put the cradles near the fire and the fire would.You are aware of, they'd get burnt terrible stories about that or a terrine of boiling, effervescent away, would overturn with them.These stories are in the sydney gazette and they are tragic, and individuals just go berserk with grief, but truth be told, these houses are a risky place.An additional thing is, due to there being no separation between work and home, there are tools almost. So kids pick up hoes or files or chisels or hooks reaping hooks and they are games out of them, And that has terrible side effects sometimes,As well not each time, But it's a dangerous place to be.00:11:10:00RICHARD GLOVER:Even though that we've been emphasising the lack of the lash and the leg chain, undoubtedly still hangings.00:11:17:15GRACE KARSKENS:Oh yea, you bet.Oh yeah, obviously.They were in every system of the british empire it's a great old tradition, is it not? (Chuckles)If you wandered today.South along harrington community in the rocks, which is about the center, to essex avenue, you'll discover yourself to be on a hill, and the floor falls away from you down to george street.This moment, a lot of historians among others, best-Selling history people, have said, 'now, that's the place where the gallows were.This was gallows hill and that's where they hanged people.How unique.' by the way, Normally, Not true.In general, this was a hill where people gathered so they could watch the hangings behind the jail yard below, so the jail was on george saint.00:11:57:08RICHARD GLOVER: It was the viewing platformAs opposed to the stage.00:11:59:10GRACE KARSKENS:An organic and natural viewing platform.'Cause these people.We're talking about individuals here they're pre industrial so they would gather on the hill to watch and jeer or whatever they did, and there's one account where the one that was condemned actually got a reprieve from the governor, and everybody went away very disappointed at passing up on the entertainment.So that's early sydney on your behalf.00:12:29:20RICHARD GLOVER:The play has off early, reckon.00:12:31:20GRACE KARSKENS:You got that right.00:12:32:22RICHARD GLOVER:What an impressive lesson.Acceptance karskens, thanks to you.00:12:35:07GRACE KARSKENS:My pleasures.00:12:40:04RICHARD GLOVER:Thanks to grace karskens from the university of nsw.She's written a number of books about historical past of early sydney, defined, the gravel.Brain, you can test yourself out with a quiz on websites.There you'll find details of how to subscribe to the free personal development wednesday podcast.Don't let that ten minute walk with the dog not help your brain along with your limbs.You can download a whole lot of topics from arithmetic to science to history and literature.That's personal development wednesday next week.
