Yep, flim flam is a lunatic fear mongering tosser without any basis for his predictions of gloom. He has been proven to be wrong on every pronouncement he has made. Why did the producers of this documentary interview him…?

yes this is near Gosford (Kariong), it is on Google maps, so not so secret, but access is currently closed by the National Parks due to "High rock fall risk"

They were actually shown to have been carved with a dremel (or similar powertool) lol

​

​

Some university students who studied anthropology admitted carving them in the fifties/ sixties

Few decided to go home

They may not have wanted to come but they definitely didnt want to go back. Why would they?

Yeah, they wanna get swept up in more endless cycle of half-arsed Irish rebellion attempts and brutal British crackdowns do they...? Good for them, but a farm near Paramatta with gorgeous parrots and bagging 45 kg of kangaroo meat as easily as walking out of the house with a musket... WINS !

Migration means nothing more nor less than the movement of people. Regardless if that transport was voluntary, forced or accidental it is migration.

@@tomvanaarle2622 you are correct but in Australia weve distorted the meaning...a "migrant" would generally be considered a free settler. Through all the colonial history you wont find convicts referred to a migrants because they werent really trying to migrate, theoretically they were to return home at the end of their sentence, but few did because they coukdnt pay their way, or overwhelmingly they preferred not to return to the poxy hole they came out of.

Needs to treat himself and buy some shorts too 😂

You are probably right cause they did start to rape the aboriginal women due to the fact most of them were men. That's why they ended up bringing a ship out from England with just women on board.

"Van Diemen's Land", named by Abel Tasman in the 1640s

Could have been worse, the French could have claimed it.

Non Australian gibberish

Well, what about the rest of the world? Acknowledging the fact that the America's were inhabited when the colonists arrived is pretty normal, for example? I don't know if it was your intent, but the things you're saying are also often said by incredibly nasty racist revisionist people. Not calling you one of them, I don't know you, but saying things like this you do sound a bit like them.

The Rev Samuel Marsden gave all the female convicts in The Womens Factory a test of their "reasoning ability". Turns out they were all significantly more intelligent than the norm, and the officers, and him, and probably you. I have 5 poor convicts in my family tree, all marked "RW", when your ancestors almost certainly didnt.

The more intelligent you seemed to the magistrate, the more likely you were to be exported.

You heard incorrectly, they're still here & are abundant in many places.

@@dazzabrah3208 but you wouldnt know culture if you got your knob stuck in it

Forced migration is still migration. And after completion of their sentence many became regular citizens.

@@ike1660many were political prisoners too. Especially from Ireland. Poets, certain leaders, rabble rousers to the English. Not all were hardened criminals or bread stealers.
