Hey mate. Australian here. This video is excellent and your coverage of our history is accurate and complete. I would have liked more detail but hey there's only so much you can put into one video. Great effort. Sending love to our American and British cousins during these troubled times.
Can you nip down there and neutralise that insane premiere of Victoria for your countries good. Or do you want some New Zealander with the guts to do it?
Studied abroad in Australia and it is an amazing country. The people. The culture. The outback. The great barrier reef is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Tim Tams 🤷♂️
I’m Australian of mixed European and Indigenous heritage and I think this was very interesting and done with respect. One thing I would like to point out that with some indigenous mobs it’s disrespectful to display images of deceased people and generally a warning is put up denoting that “this material contains images of deceased persons and may be distressing to Aboriginal viewers”. I’m not having a go at you for that as you weren’t to know but I thought I would point it out. Again it’s a great video and as an Aussie I’m proud you decided to make one on our country.
Maybe, just maybe, one religion shouldn't get mandatory disclaimers before heaps of programming, certainly not from those made overseas. Christians don't get it, even Muslims don't get it. Those who are offended by it will just have to get over it like adults.
Man, the way you devalue our sacrifices during the Great Emu War, I thought you better than this. We only barely survived, without reinforcements of fresh troops from the East, Adelaide may have fallen to their swift armoured push to the south. Lest we forget
As an American I have had since 1980 a deep reverence for your country born of the Australian Broadcasting Service. It was then that American public television showed a miniseries called “Against the Wind” that permanently affected me as a boy. Your story as Australians yearning for Independence was our story as well as colonial Americans. The heroic efforts and persistence of Australians and particularly the Jonathan Garrett family of New South Wales who I understand actually still exist in Aus, brought many of us Americans to a love of a country which many of us in truth will never have the privilege to see in person. 🇺🇸🇬🇸
@@sambros2 Well my name is karen and i'm a self employed sculptress , i will love to know more about you as well but since here is a public place suggest a way that we can still stay in touch of here and get to know more about each other and see what happens
If it wasn't for your draconian gun laws I'd consider moving there. At this point the only place I'd consider moving to outside the US is Switzerland because it's the only country that doesn't want to disarm its citizens.
Aboriginal Australian here proud of my country for what it is today although I do not forget what my ancestors went through during colonisation. I'm lucky to be in such a great and diverse country.
It’s horrible what my peoples ancestors did to your peoples ancestors, but I’m glad today we can treat each other as equals. Edit: the dude ain’t aboriginal so nvm
My parents came to Australia from Italy in 1957/8 after a voyage of 30+ days by water. It's certainly a very different reality now, being able to communicate by video calls, send/receive an email in a moment and although it's a long flight, it's really nothing in comparison. I can't imagine what it would have been to those who first came on sailing ships! It must have been a great psychological jump to travel to somewhere so very far away from everything and everyone you'd known.
honestly even when i visited italy last year it felt kind of weird. Cultures and architecture seem to differ significantly. I can only imagine what it must have been like for my great grandparents and great great grandparents migrating to america at the turn of the 20th century.
One major error or omission. The aboriginals are not the first / native people of this land. They migrated (invaded) and wiped out the original inhabitants…the Pygmy negrito people. They wiped them out with violence and cannibalism. Yet modern activists condemn the English as the invaders but ignore the atrocities that occurred before them!
@@chuckdaddy214 we know the Māori people in new zeal and, American Indians and aboriginals invaded lands already inhabited. There are accounts passed down that cannot and WERE NOT disputed until in Australia in the 60s, activists and left frauds started erasing it from our history for expedience. This video also proves it . Aboriginals are genetically related to Indians and some Filipino tribes .
@@cihotv5724 How can you discoverthe moon? How can you discover the Júpiter moons? How can you discover Antartica? How can you discover the dinosaurs? C'mon man, Australia was known for a few, the indigenous...so it was a discover for most of the world...and also for the indigenous that didn't have a clue of the rest of the world...
@@cihotv5724 If nobody knew that land besides the indegionus how come is not a discovery? It was a double Discovery, for the Europeans a for the indegenous because they also didn't have a clue about the existence of other humans and lands...again, how come is not a discovery? Besides, it was you to say "how come you discover something that already existed". Existed for whom?
I dream of Australia for long time I don't know why I am just following my instinct and heart.I never been to Australia but after watching this video I feel very emotional and more attached to my dream of moving to Australia, it brought some tears in my eyes. I am from Florida (USA) but I don't think I belong here.
Oi move to Queensland, won't be much of a climate shift for you if you're from Florida. Some beautiful rainforests up there (Daintree is absolutely stunning) and yeah the barrier Reef is pretty incredible. Indigenous up there have some ancient flood myths similar to Bible/Indus valley myths about when the barrier Reef used to be the ancient coastline.
Come on down. If ur young & of good character I think they are pretty easy about working visaS if u do fruit picking e.g. Back packing is v popular & youth hostels seem very affordable
Do it!! As that person said ^^^ Queensland would be amazing to move to! Also Adelaide (South Australia) is a good spot, small city but very livable. Get a job in a coffee shop or servo! And if you like roadtrips, you can drive 5 hours to Mt Gambier, travel on to the great ocean road and see the crazy beautiful coast! Stop through the Otways national park and see all the waterfalls and rainforest, Melba Gully, the Redwoods! Travel to Melbourne (endless list of things to do) and travel back to Adelaide through the grampians! Well that's what I'm doing next month lol. But yeah seriously you won't regret it no matter where you move too in Australia 👍🇦🇺
@@Tara.c871 I love coffee very much besides love to work on farm with coffee production as quality control inspector. I was quality control inspector for vegetables . Anyway I look forward to 🇦🇺
As an older Aussie (80+) I did enjoy your doco., but I thought I might add a couple of point that most Australians today are not aware of. Prior to 1949 Australian traveled overseas on a BRITISH passport. The 1788 landing at Botany Bay has nothing to do with Australia day, other than (now ) an unfortunate choice of dates, there was NO Australia day holiday. There were No Americans on the Kokoda Track and only one detachment of American" Cee Bee's" at Milne Bay. It was these 2 campaigns that stopped Japanese advance south. Had the Japanese taken Port Morseby they would have to invade Australia to control the Torres Strait. And deny the U.S. of access to Darwin Broome was also bombed as was Katherine, in the N.T Still a bloody good doco.
they dont know mate because everything our great grand fathers and grandfathers had to teach died with them at gallipolli or vietnam the ones who survied her majestys wars were to broken to talk about it.....the sacrifice of healthy aussie men healthy new zealand men is what won the ww11...hitlers greatest general recorded in his diary that if he could take any army he wanted but he had to take hell from satan the only men or army capale of such a task would be A.N.Z.A.C.S
‘Aussie True’ = AutoBot Jumbled words written by an algorithm, no doubt straight out of mainland China as a form of psychological warfare, which is part of the CCPs three pronged approach to warfare. Pathetic
@george smith Australia Day although a modern moniker was celebrated in NSW as ‘Settlement Day’ from 1838 marking 50 years since the first landing. Proponents of changing the date always state it to be a modern celebration so it has no meaning, when in actuality it has been celebrated for 150 years more than they were taught. Inversely.. Ideals of ‘First Nations’ is a Trojan Horse thought up by nefarious forces behind the curtain not celebrating Indigenous people but dividing Australians. Divide and conquer.
The date of 26 January 1788 marked the proclamation of British sovereignty over the eastern seaboard of Australia (then known as New Holland). Although it was not known as Australia Day until over a century later, records of celebrations on 26 January date back to 1808, with the first official celebration of the formation of New South Wales held in 1818.
@@davelawless6874 Pom is short for pommy wich is short for pomegranate wich was slang for "immigrants" The free australian settlers from Britain used this against new European settlers not part of the commonwealth. After it caught on the aborigines used the term towards all new white and English settlers. After time when australia became its own country with its own rules and accents and people and money ETC. Pom was starting to be used only against the brits and it became such a fad within the new australian population. And finally to this day its used against the british as a joke and slang for who they are. Just like saying yanks for the americans. So pom is for the early Australian immigrants 100's of years ago but still for the british. Doesn't have shit to do with the 21st century.
Do aussies feel as if including aboriginals do Anything? All of the things that australia has and ths reason why is it even a western modern country is because of britain, wherever you want to accept it or not
@@francoisdaureville323 Your reply is redundant bcoz chuckle head Daniel pulled that “aborigines don’t get included” malarkey out of his dick hole. In all my schooling on the subject and every single doco and book I’ve seen and read about Oz colonial history has “included the Aboriginal people”
I have been hooked on your channel now for about a week and learned more than I ever did in high school I am not a college graduate and I thank you and all your colleagues for these wonderful insights and truthful parts of history , truly a great job by insightful people thank you😎
Australian history is so similar to Canadian. It's as if we mirror of each other. Both countries are children of Britain but at polar opposites. As a Canadian, I tip my hat to our cousins down under!
Do a history of Syria, that land has been there over 10,000 years and is one of the oldest inhabited areas to date. It would mean A LOT to plenty of Syrians who take pride in their heritage. It is also a mix of many other nations you have talked about such as Rome which had control over Syria for much of its history.
Unfortunately due to the current culture, if anything bad was done during those 10,000 years then far from being permitted to take pride in your history you'll instead be shamed as being a beneficiary of the historical crimes of others :(
I think it’s going to be difficult to produce a documentary that will be *seen* as an “unbiased history” of a country that has been so often divided in ideologies and leadership, just like it would be dang near impossible to please everyone with a history of Palestine and Israel. That said, I’d love to see Syria and I agree with your comments.
That's a great brief history of Australia. As someone else said, we don't usually get to hear much about our real history. I was doing well and enjoying your tale until we got to the first world war, it then became sad. But, your description of the eem you wars 🤣 and the rabbit explosion was excellent. Thank you. Not sure what parts you had to leave out because of you tube, but it was pretty damn good regardless 🙏
Wonderful Video. Australia is a great country and as an Australian of Scottish decent I’m very proud of both our Indegenous and European history and culture.
I was recently recommended this channel randomly by youtube. I'm glad it did, I'm really enjoying this content and you've rekindled my love for history. Thank you.
They got them lyrics travellin g them Central Australia uninvited unwelcomed & unaided eventually becoming tribally initiated and spiritually welcomed into mob(tribe).
I live in Ballarat (Ballaarat) where the Eureka Stockade battle happened. The Southern Cross flag from the stockade is preserved and on display here. 👍
I was sceptical when I first heard the American accent on this doco but it is excellent and really comprehensive, with information that I, as an Australian, didn't know. I particularly love that you include the fairly recent genetic information regarding where the people travelled from to populate the continent and surrounding islands. I'm using this as a resource to teach my son Australian History and we'll definitely check out your other documentaries. Thank you! Really well done!
This was very interesting! As an American, I know very little about Australian history, so I was quite excited to watch this one. Stay well out there everybody, and Jesus Christ be with you friends.😊
@Nisho H Aussies,They Rather Support us during Our War of Independence instead they cursed the Dutchmen for its Brutal Policy to used creating some kind near-genocidal against Our Indigenous peoples.
Hi 👋 your channel is very different from what I normally watch here on RU-vid, but I’ve always been a history lover and as I was typing “history” in the search bar your channel was one of top 10 shown. This dive deep into Australia’s history was everything I wanted and therefore I decided to subscribe and I turned on the notifications on so I never miss when you upload a new video 👏👏 I hope you’re having an amazing weekend and please stay healthy and safe 🙏❤️
I'm curious what non-Australians thought of this video or which parts they found most interesting? In school my favourite part of Australian History class was when we learnt about the indigenous cultures and history.
I remember as a Young Australian in the 80's (primary school) most of the Australian history I remember being taught was about the Voyages of James Cook. No Aboriginal history until secondary school (It was the 90's) by then even then I lived in the Kimberly where there is a high proportion of Aboriginal people. We probably learn more about Aboriginal Culture from the Aboriginal Teachers Assistant rhe school has to employ under a new law. (I remember a few Social Studies field trips were she took the lead, one was about Bush Tucker and in another she talked about the local Aboriginal stories about the local river) the school had to legally employ than from any of our teachers. I'm a teacher now (Geography and IT) spent the first 5 years of my career in Australia, last 10 or so in the UK. The History teachers at my school seems to only teach about Aboriginal history when discussing Australia. If you are younger than me is this still the case? While I think it is important to teach Aboriginal history in Australian schools I don't think it should be completely at the expense of some Australian European history especially the Explorers Cook, Sturt and Burke and Wills.
@@liftwell I'm 18 and learned about the Eureka stock aid, gold rush, eddie mabo and other stuff I can't remember. Don't think we learned much aussie history cos their isn't much
Even in the mid 1960s. in what is now KS2 we were taught the rudiments of Aboriginal culture in "Social Studies". We also covered the New Zealand Maori. I agree, it was interesting and it would have been nice to have covered more.
Fun Fact: In the image of the Australian Soldiers at 32:35, one of the soldiers is actually dead and being held up by his mates. I believe he died not too long before the photo was taken, but the soldiers still wanted to include him for his sacrifice. Unfortunately I cant remember exactly which one it is as my dad showed it to me years ago, but I remember him being on the left side of the image.
Australians all let us rejoice, For we are young and free; We've golden soil and wealth for toil; Our home is girt by sea; Our land abounds in nature's gifts Of beauty rich and rare; In history's page, let every stage Advance Australia Fair. In joyful strains then let us sing Advanced Australian Fair. Lived in Australia since I was in kindergarten Sang this every Monday
@barefoot arizona Still smarting under that case of the pox you picked up in Sydney from that Asian whore, eh, arizona? You've got learn to be a bit more discriminating in that department.
I misread the title and thought this was on Austria. Mind you I just finished a video on Otto van Hapsberg, so that's why. Either way, I love these kind of videos. Lol
OMG you have just made me the happiest person in the world thank you! People over look us all the time so it’s nice when our history is actually explored.
You do such a good job. I’m so glad the era of history channel is over and the age of the RU-vid has begun. How else would we get humorous asides about Toto songs!
"Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!" One person shouts, "Oi! Oi! Oi!", The crowd shouts back. - Australian Patriotic Chant Great video puts a smile on my face, we have some troubled and successful moments, as any nation does, lets hope the future is just as bright, almost as bright as how much we love shorting words, and arguing with Marmite apologists. And also apparently being punished for asking for a international investigation into the origins of the Coronavirus epidemic...
If anyone is interested in a more in depth look at early Australian history I recommend the book "The Fatal Shore" by Robert Hughes easily the best book on Australian history.
You Australians don't have any culture whatsoever, it's an empty and shallow country just like America or Canada, its most recognisable traits first being just Englishmen with the safari twist and then another comically bland western mega state definied by stereotypes that only internet addicted life deprived yankees found funny. Tell me something iconic about you that isn't imported by capitalism or Europe and stolen by preexisting aboriginal fauna and people, go on mate down under pissing creek le funny emu war

As a Brit, I really enjoyed and learned a lot more about Australia, having relatives in both Australia and New Zealand I have made several visits. The prisoner's who were sent to Sidney had to build their own prison, it must have been brutally hard work and a lot of them were sent there for the pettiest of crimes. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to more.
The kangaroo mascot stationed in Egypt was named Skippy. Skippy was on permanent shore leave at Mena Camp, the British Empire’s training ground in Egypt. Another famous kangaroo was Jimony, the mascot of the No. 1 Australian Auxiliary Hospital based at Harefield in the UK. Apparently there were a lot more kangaroos used as mascots during WWI after members of the 9th and 10th Battalions smuggled them from home aboard transport ships.
Thank you for this history lesson . My family immigrated from Scotland to Australia Botany Bay in 1840s to 1860s then some travelled over to NZ where I was born . Are you making a History of New Zealand video , Excellent
Wow that's an awesome comment, i haven't really learn much about NZ, and i would love to know more. How're you doing Joan hope you're fine and staying safe over there in NZ, I'm Harry from FL USA
I noticed that there was no mention of the colony of South Australia being set up in 1834. South Australians have always been proud of our free-settler state vs penal colony origins! Up until the late twentieth century, it was looked on as dubious to marry an interstater. Even our accent up until quite recently was more English ( also thanks to a surge of English immigrants post 2nd World War) On 18 December 1894 the South Australian Parliament passed the Constitutional Amendment (Adult Suffrage) Act. The legislation was the result of a decade-long struggle to include women in the electoral process. It not only granted women in the colony the right to vote but allowed them to stand for parliament. This meant that South Australia was the first electorate in the world to give equal political rights to both men and women. This l believe was also worth mentioning.
Covered just about everything in great detail, and I enjoyed.That which was overlooked and always seems to be the case is that The state of South Australia was settled as a free province and never took in any convict settlers.
Very well done. Thank you. A proud 71 yo Australian with deep Anglo-Celtic roots and a blossoming knowing of deepest ancient history which resonates with the great wisdom of the First Australians' "Dreamtime" and its cyclical time consciousness. Hail to The Creator of All.
