Tony Robinson Down Under | E5 | Welcome To Australia 

My dad was stationed as part of a RAF detachment at RAAF Edinburgh Field near Adelaide. They would see the migrant ships coming in at Outer Harbour, and watch the rapid building of housing out at Elizabeth. When the tour of duty was over, my mother cried, and my father came very close to transferring from the RAF for the RAAF, which could be done formally in the 60s. How they loved that country.

My Scottish grandfather who was feeling disposesed at this time, would drink with the Bottony Bay aboriginal men, who also felt and were disposesed, decided to initiate him as a clans man. Great

It was done for the purposes of the camera person.

Except Melbournians 🤣

No. Australian men most often get in the front, next to the driver. It's more common for women to sit in the back.

In Canada you almost always get in the back unless you have extra people. It's a service by a foreigner like a rickshaw.

@@chriscarrol9373 Are all your taxi drivers foreigners??

Never happen.

Won't happen. But Australia is awesome. Come back.

God save the King

Can't believe how much they're charging you for rent over there now insane

@@James-kv6kb Living the dream ain't cheap when the word gets out.

You haven’t lived there, have you?😂

@@westaussie965 I have indeed, about 20 miles north of beautiful Adelaide.

It's not bad. I ride every day and love it

@@rhys5567 reliability differs greatly on your proximity to a capital city.

What did your parents do wrong to be locked up in detention? 10 pound Poms were allowed to stay in the hostels for a maximum of 1 year, and weren't being detained. The Government weren't just handing out homes and jobs though. Plenty already had family in Australia and could stay with them.

They did nothing wrong. A migrant detention place. They were living in a tent in Mum's cousins back yard until she caught Scarlet fever and dipherier. They made the Sydney papers as their tent was also flooded.

@@glendamears3618 OK. As far as the Government was concerned, the quicker they were out of the hostels, the better. Because housing and feeding them cost money. Maybe some of the migrants had unrealistic expectations, although that may be at least partly the fault of Australian Government advertising. Of the "Poms" (and that doesn't just refer to the English) that returned home, about half of them returned to Australia, earning them the nickname of Boomerangs.

I think the Australian government was eager to populate the country at this time.

Incorrect.

​@@YokRzeznicwhats incorrect?

@@bennichols1113 the date

@@YokRzeznic what was the actual date?

@@bennichols1113 Jan 18

Oh, so now it’s 62,000 years?😂😂😂used to be 40,000! I can tell you about those “thousands” of years....the indigenous tribes invented: 1. The spear 2. The ability to make fire 3. The boomerang 4. Bark huts and 4. Drawings of dots and hands

@@westaussie965 there's other stuff, rocks which appear almost natural but with marks and located to show amazing celestial connections. The dreametime stories are wonderful and deserve to be given time. They're on so many levels.. ..

But not pyramids I know of??

Yes typhoid Mary carried it in her bowls and didn't wash her hands after being a filthy person in the bathroom. Typhus is spread by fleas lice and chiggers (Asian rappers) LoL couldn't resist the pun.

Ok so the announcement was from central station and not the station up in the mountains. No biggie. 🙄

That one station shot looks like it was a location from one of the Road Warriors movies.

@Mr Martin yeah i reckon! Natalie Bedford sounds ghastly.

you mean were wonderful people, 40% of australians are foreign born, you fool.

Yeah, the abbos are the most racist 😉

It really depends where you travel. The further you get from capital cities, the more redneck it becomes.😢

@@woah6958 I'm pretty far out country (8.5hr) and wouldn't say we are.

Careful!! Facts and logic are not welcome today in this lefty/pc/woke world we live in😂

I'm a white Canadian. Funny thing is they are sending us fentynal and basically occupied our Pacific port city. Ya it's a pain when you're on the receiving end of revenge. Hopefully Americans get into it with them?

Why are you spamming this comment?

​@@jackstraw262 hes a bot spreading misinformation

​@@Alldabossthe yanks are not going to spend billions of dollars on robots to have conversations unless it is a political post . They're actually designed to learn how you behave so they can make money out of you

So, how did that go?

My comment has been removed yet again this should be illegal

What choices?🤷🏼‍♀️

Sliders or flip flops?

Made in China or made in Vietnam?

2023 now and 2020 has long gone. 😂 Only thing changed is Labor won the election. I don't see that's a good thing either. 🙄

😂😂😂 bro stop watching sky news

It's great he had that experience. Now ask yourself how typical that was. Tony was just asking questions - obviously they make you uncomfortable.

Ahn isn't a downer kind of guy, and his experience arriving and growing up (in a different time, mind) would be very different to many others. His positivity is his power, really.
