The 'Convict Dance (and) Music Research Project' by Dr. Heather Blasdale-Clarke at QUT provided details for some of the Australian tunes in this archive.
"This doctoral project was undertaken at the Queensland University of Technology to research convict culture in the early colony from 1788 to 1840. The main focus concentrated on social dance with the research uncovering a surprising amount of information proving that dance was a significant aspect of convict life."
Further details are given on the Convict dance research page on the Australian Historical Dance site - www.historicaldance.au.
