In almost 100 years as a penal colony there were only about 168k prisoners, from like 3 different nations. 168k incarcerations... That's like any Monday morning in the states.
Where's the joke, now?

OMG those Australians must breed like frigging rabbits to get where they are now, plus 168K seems a little small for a viable gene pool.

Apparently not. https://www.britannica.com/science/minimum-viable-population#ref1215147
TLDR: 50 is enough to limit inbreeding and 500 is enough to limit genetic drift (idk what that is). This is an old rule however and has since been somewhat discredited. I think. I'm not that into this, i was briefly curious.

our population bottlenecked to several thousand at one point in prehistory. yet we thrived afterward, so probably some truth to it.

But there's less genetic diversity on the entire human race than in one troop of monkeys.

Most settlers in Australia were free, plus there was a large amount of immigration after WW2
