The Video is Available
Easter 1985, for the National Folk Festival, a group of West Australian "folkies" staged a series of performances of the late Peter Bellamy's folk ballad opera "The Transports", which told the story of two young people who were transported in "The First Fleet" to Botany Bay as convicts.

The final performance was on Good Friday at the New Fortune Theatre in UWA, the University of Western Australia.
This performance was audio recorded by ABC radio, and all performers had copies made available for their own use.
However, there was also a video record being made at the same time, courtesy of Lex Edmonds. He has kindly made the tape available and I have digitally copied it, on 6 January 2010.
If any of the performers would like a copy of this video record, please send a blank DVD with return postage and address label to
