Hi folks,

Wondered if someone with knowledge of early Tasmanian geography could work this one out. I've managed to transcibe the following from a convict conduct record and wondered what the island's name is that he absconded to?

June 22 1824 – Absconded from the Penitentiary at Launceston - escaping from Van Diemen’s Land to P____ation Island – 2 years to Macquarie Harbour (C.C. [Chief Constable] & P.A.M).

Thanks in advance
Kylie
