It\'s also worth considering that:
a) having convict ancestors had been, until very recently, grounds for stigmatization. It was only since the 1980s-90s (if I remember my latest visit to the Hyde Park Barracks in Sydney correctly) that the convict past started to be fully embraced. This could be one of the contributing factors of the CulturalCringe.
b) Not only did they have to build Sydney from scratch, with climate less desirable than back in Britain, the settlement was literally plagued with famine for the first few years of its establishment.

Not only did the convicts were marginalized from the people who ran the colonial government, but this marginalization continued between their childrens too. For example, William Wentworth (1790-1872, politician, had convict parents) had his relationship/engagement broken with Elizabeth MacArthur, because her father John (1767-1834, landowner, free settler, army officer) did not allow marriages into a family with convict heritage.
