I disagree--Australia itself was half the prison.  ;)  Not much chance of
someone coming back from THAT far away!

And a long boat - a boat that's five studs wide so your boat crew can sit
two abreast, maybe 16 studs long, and with decent length oars for two handed
rowing.

You can make these--Technic beams and connectors, plus black 5L antennae.

And better natives.  Get some appropriately scary Maoris or Aborigines or
Tongans to give the whiteys (yellowies?) something to think about.

"Appropriately scary?"  I think the European minifigs are scary enough, given
that they're coming to subjugate people in their own lands.  Perhaps they should
be "appropriately indignant?"  I'd like to see more Islanders, though--that was
a good theme.  However, if you want to come forward of the early 18th century,
they'd just be regular ol' yellowfaces.

LFB.
