    Australia was settled as a colonial outpost in order to ship goods back to England, based on convict labour and harsh discipline. I don't think the past should be romanticized as some kind of paradise. It was anything but.

    • @lukesgippslandhistory
      @lukesgippslandhistory 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you for your feedback. Apart from the music, in which way do you think the video was romanticised? They were certainly hard and exploitative times and it is important that we understand how events of the past evolved into what we have and see today. Your further input may help with the production of similar slideshows in the future.

      Hi Geoff, Thanks again. I think Bruce Elder may have been having a bad day when he did the Omeo Highway. I have since been following him on his facebook page 'Aussie Towns' and his posts are normally very enlightning and informative. He also has a very good website titled 'Aussie Towns'. www.aussietowns.com.au/ facebook.com/aussietowns
