One of my grandfathers died in the camps during the Emu War. I've never forgiven the Emus.
No one died in the emu war, except a few emus.
I died in the emu war o_o
we all died in the emu wars je sui emu

When a TH-cam video teaches you more about the first Dutch settlers and the origins of the Aboriginal peoples than your own school...
EMS 76, calm down lmao
To destroy a people you must destroy their understanding of their history, to enslave them you must make it so they do not know of any other way other than being slaves.
@@ems4884 I can tell you're a teacher.
Cheers.
Zazoo Australia curriculum is pretty hot shit on teaching abbot culture. It’s practically rammed down children’s throat.
That's because the British wrote your history school books.
As an Aussie, this is one of the best videos on Australian history, especially the indigenous peoples. Well done.
How do you type and read upside down?
Wdym no mention of the Torres Strait islander people’s at all
Damn ya ain't an aussie, ya English all messed up, dipnog

My granddad never talked about the Emu Wars, but then again he was an emu.
My father fought in the Emu wars. I asked him about it many times but he refused to speak about it. I believe he was a secret agent for the Koalas and fought behind the Emu's frontlines. After he passed away I came across his war service record in his papers. Apparently he was captured at one stage and forced to eat hallucinogenic gum leaves to give up his contacts. He never completely recovered from the experience and would spend days sometimes sitting in a Gumtree chewing on the leaves.
Ian Tait True war hero...
The emu war was after the Great War
Respect from U.K.
Ian Tait What a coincidence, my grandmother was an emu undercover behind human lines, the rumour is she got much information by having many affairs with the human officers. She was discovered and executed after she layed an egg in the general's bed.
Ian Tait s Those sadistic bastards 😎
the dutch came to West Australia realised that the sand wasn't good to grow their marijuana in so they left.
Wtf? No, Spain came after the dutch.
Either way, it was just a joke guys.
1. Welcome to the derived from Latin show!
Spanish? Derived from Latin!
Australia? You guessed it! Latin!
1,5. So the Spanish for some reason called the landmass (that they never visited) that was nowhere near Austria "South Austria"? No thank you my good sir, I will not believe that.
2. So as the amount of languages someone speaks seems to be an argument to you somehow, I know/speak 7 languages (English, Dutch, German, Latin, Ancient Greek, French and Japanese (that's in order of how well I know them (kind of; Greek and Latin require a different kind of knowledge)))
(Not that it actually matters to me but it seemed like it did matter to you)
3. Tasmania was named after Abel Tasman, that seems pretty logical to me. (Note: Abel Tasman is a Dutchman and not somehow a Spanish word(even if you somehow make up something so you can say it is: See point 1)
Thank you.
Note: I don't really have enough time to research so I'll keep it a bit more neutral in the sections where I'm not totally sure.
1. One thing: I never said Cook named it, not that I actually have a source to say he didn't, but just a point
1.5 you literally said "Southern-Austrian Land of the Holy Spirit". If that was a typo, okay, no problem then.
2. I'm not actually Australian, I just love Koalas and Australia as a whole. I'm actually Dutch. I know I put English in front, that's because I probably speak English better as I learned it from TH-cam (the feeling part) and school (proper grammar and vocabulary) while I was brought up with Dutch and copied the mistakes my parents make. As for Ancient Greek and Latin, I'm currently learning them at school, I don't know if you also did/do, but just a bit of a note.
(If you're curious: in the Netherlands you have to learn French and German in the first 3 years of secondary school and I go to a TTO Gymnasium (TTO is a Dutch abbreviation of Double Language School) so I get Greek and Latin (the Gymnasium part) and everything else in either Dutch or English) I'm learning Japanese with some friend via the Internet.
I don't know if you mean dialect with "local language" but if you do and I had to count them aswell, I would probably go into the double figures.
3. Again I don't have the time to research it, so I can only ask you why they didn't stay as in that era everyone was grabbing as much land as possible and it would give them a stronghold in Asia which would be nice.
P.S.: You can find Roman things in Greece and visa versa, but that doesn't prove that one discovered the other (but then also the other way around? (Again that's why it can't be correct)) , only that they actually were there someday.
P.P.S.: Please only use ignorant when someone actually is. I wasn't ignorant; you only said something is true and if I think that you're incorrect then that's that, only if you gave me actual sources and I disagreed with that would it be ignorant.
Dear ljf, I have 2 reasons why I disagree, note that I am an australian and speak english as my first and only language.
1. Wikipedia is open source, so I could got to that article and write "australia was first mentioned in 6969 on the 20th of the 4th by snoop dogg"
2. A sentence after the bit you mention it says that it is mentioning the name for another island.
>history of Australia
>no mention of Captain James Cook
Finn Lewis did you know Jame Cook was a Lieutenat when he landed in Australia
Michael Halligan is this true? Where did you hear it
>No mention of Ned Kelly?
Sounds like a lot of bullshit in this thread. Cook was actually a pretty decent guy. The reason he got killed was that he tried to take the Hawaiian king after one of this landing boats were taken. Other than that he was pretty good. These guys were products of the Enlightenment, all full of do-good ideas for the betterment of man etc etc. Their societies were barbaric but the individuals tried, usually unsuccessfully, to rise above it. Just look at Governor Phillip after the arrival of the First Fleet, he even let himself get speared in the shoulder without retaliation after they had abducted an aboriginal man to act as a go-between (that guy was Bennelong). As I said the societies these men came from were barbaric, you only have to see how the convicts were treated ... the country was full of people who either were brutalised by the whip or held the whip. Explains why as a society we now detest authority and injustice.
@Michael Halligan

Let us have a moment of silence for all the casualties of the terrible war, feathered and not.
Having just been defeated by Turks at Gallipoli we get beaten by giant Turkeys at home.
My grandfather, one of the untold volunteers from Memerstan, had died in the emu war, in a last stand with the emus against the humans at the battle of Alice Springs. He was a decorated lieutenant, and led the volunteers at the last stand. He died after he was captured and tortured.
Lest we forget.
I’m impressed with the accuracy of this video.
I’m Extremely impressed with correct pronunciation of “emu”. The emu wars had a great impact on our national character. To this day, it’s not something that is often openly discussed. I still remember overhearing the adults talk about it as a young child. It’s always sets a sober tone. Thank you for discussing with respect.
21:10 YOURE TALKING ABOUT THE EMU WAR ARENT YOU
Shhh... we don't talk about that one.
Those were hard times.
YES
Austin Pierce The Great Emu War my friend
Everybody laughing at us for losing a war against emus but they don't realise that we could recruit emus into the military and take over the world
Fun Fact: Australia has had no prime ministers assassinated, but we straight up lost one along a river bank.
Liam Fosdike I'll assume you're meaning Harold holt disappearing whilst swimming !
It was not a river, it was at Cheviot Beach. Harold Holt was the PM. One of the theories was that he was a Chinese spy and was picked up by a Chinese submarine.
Oof my guy
Didn’t he get captured by the Soviets who attempted to create a super soldier by inserting emu DNA into his genome

Loved the vid mate. I can't believe you found out about the emu war 😂 good job
I like to point out that the state of South Australia was started as a free colony, where all the other now state's were started as a penal colony. That mean no convict's where shipped to South Australia.
Yep, but don't worry, they are making it up by having the most serial killers and the most far out the most twisted murders.
I would like to point out that it's also way less relevant
With my serial killer remark, yes you are right Hittler's Moustache. However to most of the world the fact that South Australia was never a colony that convict were never sent too is not known.
That's why Christopher Pyne sounds gay.
Ahrm Christopha Pahrn Arhm Going to Fix it. Arhm a Fixha

As an Aussie, I really enjoyed the Great Emu War jokes
Same, it's so silly.

What an awesome video this was! Thank you so much for creating this. I'm an American & I find Australia a fascinating place. Unfortunately, in the United States, Australian history is not a top priority teaching point. I headed straight for the "knower of all information" we all carry around in our pockets & was thrilled to discover such a gem here. Really, thank you so much. Wish we could have a q & a session. Now I need more input.
It is great to see so much of the video dedicated to the long history of pre-europe Australia. I find it so interesting and usually underdone
as a young aboriginal man myself this video is great to teach the world about who we are but I try not to get over my head when I see disgusting and appalling racist comments about my race love this video but the comments put me right off but overall video was good racism racism never changes
Dishonored 4 Taxi true that... I really love Aboriginal peoples and it always makes me angry when I see racist comments.
It's such a shame, it really is. I feel for your people, I truly do. I am from Africa and am living in America for the moment. A lot of white Americans disrespect the Natives as well as the black people here in the same way. It's astounding to see such unwarranted hatred for a people. But the Universe has a way of balancing things out, in the end. God bless.
Helen West in the end, I think that it is our duty as human beings to support each other as much as possible right now, because the world is going through some extremely rough times, with racist and intolerant people getting more aggressive by the day. In the end it doesn't matter where you're from, what you look like, or what you believe in, as long as you're a respectful, generally kind and hard working person. I think those are universally appreciated traits, and we need more people like that everywhere.
Helen West thanks for the support what we all have in common is how we all have the same kind of backgrounds for being slaughtered and invaded when first discovered white people started racism it should be their problem to stop it as it comes down to one race the human race thanks for the support and positive comments for centuries the native Americans the Africans and us aboriginals have always been fighting for our rights and have some similarities in our cultures
Hey brother, I like your comment. I really feel and have felt uncomfortable with the term "aboriginal". Fuck that shit, true Aussie natives are the original people of Australia. There is nothing "ab" about the beautiful and richly cultured native people of Australia.
I'm from Ballarat, home of the Eureka Rebellion, a hugely important part of our history. Thank you for making this video sir! I've seen the remains of the Batavia in a museum in Fremantle, which blew my mind, but I didn't know the dutch actually intermingled with the aborigines at that time. Mind Blown. Everybody around the world seems to forget about Australia, and while what we did to the natives was tragic, the country we have built here has turned out to be one of the most successful colonial countries ever. If you ever find your self down this end of the country, you're welcome to my abode for beers and cones.
don't buy into the lies designed to make you guilty, mate. we've done nothing but great service to the aboriginies.
you're right though: thanks to our british heritage we are one of the greatest countries in existence.
Dielfon Elettab white Australia policy and the stolen generation anyone ? The atrocities white people have done to the indigenous is nothing to be proud of makes me angry 😡 just like it does when people deny the holocaust or the eight centuries of atrocities the English did to the people of my ancestral homeland of Ireland or the Scots as well stop the revising of history please
"Let's go to our most trusted source of information"
*Opens Wikipedia*
Yes why that is the joke. Thank you for explaining it
I dont always trust wikipedia
For my videos i like to do more research than look at a website that probaly hasn't updated their sources
I love this video. As an American we aren't taught anything about Australian history in our school system but the more I learn about it the more fascinated I am.
gratz on 10k man! and awesome video!
Cheers mate!
I'd love to hear more of early aboriginal history, when I went through school they didn't teach us much about it, we learnt mostly about how poorly they were treated and massacres etc. They were wiped out in Tasmania.
Hey Sam have a look at Palawa Kani, the Tasmanian Aboriginal Corporation and Lia Pootah. I think you'll like it.
it's cause we don't know much about it, and honestly it's kinda boring. although i guess that last part goes for most of australian history =/
Voytek well you can just piggyback off of british history
Read The Biggest Estate on Earth to learn about aboriginal land care and lifestyles.
Sam H I always love to read about the Aborigines (I'm not Australian tho) and I really love them, they're so fascinating as are their culture and languages

The Great Emu War was a great tragedy. #NeverForget.
#neverforgive
It's pretty feathery in there....that's the Emu's point....
Emu's DON'T SURF!
Well done! One small point: 'Botany Bay' named during Cook's 1770 voyage, greatly impressed botanist Joseph Banks who was part of that expedition. He recommended it to the powers-that-be as a great place for a colony......problem was that when the First Fleet arrived several years later, they found little reliable water so they quickly moved a little north up the coast to Sydney Harbour (specifically Sydney Cove, present-day Circular Quay). Hence the location of today's central Sydney.
great video man very informative. Keep up the good work!

That sounded very molesty.
lost it when you played the dutch national anthem
also big props your pronunciations subbed!
Nice video, this is what I learned in history. Great job
I didn't know that part about NZ and Fiji being apart of Australia that's fascinating how have I lived here my whole life and not known that? Subbed you did a great and fair recount of events.
Great Video mate, loved the first part about the indigenous people. Had no idea about most of that. Just wanted to flag the whole part of history surrounding Van Diemans Land and the French exploration/sabre rattling that went on with the British. Apparently the British passed the french ships in some spots on their way down to claim the land.
A history of Tasmania might be in order!
As an Australian it was so touching to see you pay respect to those who fought in the great Emu wars! Such a tragic event which many of us are still coming to terms with! :-) :-)
Greatings from Cell Block "D".

Another McKay. You know our ancestors came here because of the highland clearances?
We weren't criminals or convicts, we were crofters from the far north of Scotland who were rounded up and cleared off our ancestral lands.
Not many people know about that.

Correction: the first colony wasn't set up in Botany Bay. They moved around the cost to Port Jackson. Modern Sydney Harbour is in Port Jackson and Botany Bay is the shipping harbour.
Isn't botany bay where Sydney airport in mascot
@@rear9259yes Botany Bay is to the south of the airport.
Hilbert, . . . history very nice done . . . Iooking forward for other documentations of yours !
I came to hear het Wilhelmus and was not disappointed.
Also, Hilbert mentions reaching 10000 subscriblers at the time the video was made in August 2017. Now he's got well over 78000 subscriblers. Well done, Hilbert!
As an Aussie myself I really enjoyed the penal colony map of Australia at the start and the emu war jokes
Don't think you will upset Aussies by referencing our convict history. I'm proud to say I am descended from two convicts, one on my mother's side and one on my father's side. We call that Australian Royalty!
I've only found 1 convict ancestor and all but 2 of my lines go back at least 5 generations here. That means they were mostly free settlers. Man they chose to be here? Idots
Hiya Hilbert! Great job on this! I offer only one small point of correction: To my understanding, the rescue of the Irish convicts from the Freemantle prison was launched by Irish Exiles living in the US! They also had help from some Irish operatives who traveled directly to Australia without anyone's knowledge! If you can seek it out, there's a great documentary about that story produced by The US Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). The series was named "The American Experience," & the episode was called "Irish Escape." Cheers, & once again, great job!
The first settlement wasn't in Botany Bay, although that was the plan. The first settlement was in Port Jackson
And was subsequently renamed Botany Bay, if I'm not mistaken. It's the same place
@@aliciastrous1966 No, you are mistaken. Port Jackson was named by Captain James Cook in 1970 and this name was listed in the navigation charts used by the First Fleet 18 years later. Similarly, Cook named Botany Bay listing this on his navigation charts. Governor Phillip would have relied on the charts and deferred to Capt. Cook’s naming of the two locations.
15:21 the dude on the right was like: "this is fine"
As an Australian I think you did a good job!
Thank you!
Have to agree with you there. Would have liked a bit more modern history but I learned a lot about how Australia came to be. Great work mate!
except South Australia was never a penal colony it was formed by free settlers.
The only culture in the world not to invent the wheel.
Fuck u
good work, man. very informative lol can you do a video on Austria if you haven't already?
This was interesting to watch, thanks a lot for sharing.
i found this very enjoyable to watch , i'm a aboriginal from the tiwi islands :) & so this had me hooked
Being from WA I'm happy you mentioned the Batavia, European West Australian history is often largely ignored because of the majority of the population on the east coast. But it's often ignored the Dutch had a big presence in Australia way before Botany Bay. If the Dutch settled I probably would be speaking Dutch now.
This was so good thanks mate
Nicely done. Especially the Dutch pronunciations -- they are spot on.
omg asking for a moment of recognition to the victims of the emu war is such a dark joke you had me dying 😂
How was it dark? The emu war was just some government program to kill some birds, where's the darkness? In the emus families??

Well, statistically Australia is one of the best countries in the world for livability , America doesn't even have one city in the top 15 most livable cities.
5:40
There would be an explanation to that
But Indonesian natives used to sail down the top of Australia and did sea cucumber trades with the Aboriginal natives
The tribes around that area have Indonesian words in their language as well
I learned that in my Indonesian class
They would of had interracial relationships with the Indonesians who had contact with them
8:50
There’s a bit of misinformation there
If you look into the archeological findings of earlier colonists and archeologists in the book Dark Emu by Bruce Pascoe, there is evidence that Aboriginal society had a farming/agricultural system that benefited not just them but the rejuvenation of the land and its other inhabitants (Flora and Fauna). It’s a good read, I do suggest looking into it.
Nice video tho. Acknowledge the native life and that there was human society before colonialism through education is a great thing.
I was just about to type the 8:50 one, then I saw this lol. You can also look into the biology of Australian Flora, which has clear (internal and external) evidence of farming/agriculture; such as most Australian trees will only shed their seeds when a fire occurs as a result of controlled fires which the Aboriginal Australians used to do.
Thank you for giving the Emu War the context it deserved. Lest We forget. We Aussies appreciate it. I loved the video.
That's awesome, Australia has got some very interesting history.
20:55 knew he was gonna mention our damn war
as an aussie im glad you covered our aboriginal history
only reason he spent so much time was in hope that poofs like you would notice.

got nothing against abos mate - i do however have a problem with history revisionists and -post-structuralists
itsOculus
What does that even mean. You saying the genocide that the brits almost commit on the aboriginals didn’t happen, or all the other cruelty’s they committed is nothing. Besides the fact that we still don’t have a treaty with them! Jeez! Learn some respect, boy!
Thank you for including The Great Emu War.
Awesome history lesson! Appreciate the video!
@4:00 Arnhem languages? So does Australia actually amount to Zuid Gelderland? Making Dutch claim to the land more valid?
No. The language had a true name at some point, but it intermingled with Another language when it was colonised. Arnhem Land literally means “land of the foreigners”. So yes, if you believe the Dutch, it does make sense, but honestly it could be any language, or any other nation that colonised it at that time. There are no linguistic markers for Dutch in any of the indigenous languages of the area.
No the Dutch made no claim to Australia, in fact they thought the land was unliveable. It was only when the British arrived that any real Colonisation took part.
I think you should also do a dedicated history of Tasmania, it’s a very interesting part of Australia which is often overlooked or made fun of, Tasmania has got some of the most interesting history in terms of the colonisation and take over by the Europeans, over all it would be a great topic to talk about.
fuck off inbred
Will Mitch Ex taswegian here, I agree.
Are you talking about that bit of toilet paper sticking on me shoe?

Nice video! Be sure to have a look at "Dark Emu Black Seeds: Agriculture or Accident?" by Bruce Pascoe.
You missed the Rum Rebellion and how each state came to be.
Daniel Liddicoat was going to mention that !
no surprise - he didn't have time for actual history; only for sucking off abos.
its the uploader's agenda that got in the way of accurate presentation of history.
The Rum Rebellion is so important. It set the precedent and culture for government corruption which we still see. Can't have enough ICACs and Royal Commissions, I say, keep the bastards honest.
Very well done I thought,. cheers from Sydney Australia
Bro the photo at 21:47 had me laughing my ass off 🤣🤣🤣 I know it's a fucked up photo, but photoshooting the Emu over the Vietnamese soldier got me rolling
almost all of this was very interesting and correct but the part about william buckley is false because he was apart of the first (failed) attempt of sending prisoners to port phillip bay which is located in victoria and he was not sent as a convict to new south wales but as i said everything else was really informative
side note: he legit g sent to australia for "stealing a cloth" and there was no proof he ever did it like dammmmm thats one heavy punishment
Cammy Hill interesting fact this is the origin of the phrase you've got Buckleys meaning you've got no chance of something happening or of it being done !!
Cammy Hill Well at the time Port Phillip was a part of NSW, so he's not technically wrong.
that is true but he said botany bay which is different from port phillip
Interesting fact - Australia is the only country to every have its leader disappear without a trace. Prime Minister Harold Holt in 1967. Can you imagine if a president of the USA just disappeared ?
Heath Cliff I dunno bit it would be nice if our current president would disappear without a trace... he can take the VP and all of Congress with him too.
He didn't disappear as such. He drowned whilst taking a swim in the ocean. By the time they realised, his body was taken out by the current. Which is why they never found his body. That's hardly a disappearance. It's a drowning.
A whole lot of people would be really happy.
I heard a story once. Someone I know claimed that one of his relatives who worked in the military was called to Harold Holt's house. He had been shot and was dead on the floor. This relative was then instructed to dispose of the body and keep it quiet. I have no way of verifying the story, nor do I wish to identify the source. Nor can I say that I 100% believe the story. But I did find it interesting.
Good luck with the secret service literally on all sides of you at all times no matter what for miles.
10:30 thats the Ruyter's flagship which was build in 1666
The first colony was in Botany Bay, which was where the convicts were sent, but the first settlement of English people was 12kms North, in Sydney Cove.
Why even bother making a section of the video dedicated to trying to discuss Aboriginal history without offending anyone when you have people in the comments claiming that you're being racist, being racist themselves, and calling people out for being racist, why can't we just sit down and discuss history without anyone having a hissy fit.
@The Phantom I normally hate when people accuse others of virtue signalling. But you have pretty much nailed this. We can only control what we do now. That being said, if segments of the population are struggling as a result of generational and systemic abuse/racism/neglect. We should do our best to course correct, and I don't just mean throw money at the problem.
@The Phantom damn, very well said
I looked through the comment section and the only person I see complaining is you, complaining about non-existent complaints about the video being racist.

Great video! En hallo uit Nieuw Zeeland! One of the big reasons New Zealand rejected the Australian Federation was because, quite frankly, their laws surrounding native peoples were piss poor, and there were concerns that treatment of the Māori would suffer in a way that could come into conflict with the treaty of Waitangi. Apparently Australia had to pander by giving Māori suffrage, but it wasn't quite enough. Also, there were views that New Zealand was superior to Australia (we kept our Dutch name, so this clearly must have been the truth, right?). It seems even back then a trans-Tasman rivalry existed.
Keeping the name of Nieuw Zeeland does indeed clearly show your superiority.
@@draphotube4315the name should be Aotearoa. Wtf is new zeeland
It is also believed that the Portuguese had being in Australia as a stop over on their way to Japan some time before the Dutch arrived.
As a Australian. I really appreciate this. Thank you very much.
This video taught me more than my own school and I’m Australian lmao
Sad but true, eh?
most of Australia was New South Wales in the early 1800s if i am correct
Hi Hilbert. Love your channel. Any chance of doing a video on New Zealand? I know it's a small place but there are very few videos on it and I would love to see your take on things like The Musket Wars and Maori Wars. Chur.
Some travel tips if you're planning to travel to Australia.
If you're in a bar, and you're getting in the middle of a fight, just say the words 'Look over there, an emu!'.
If you see a nice young lady and you want to pick her up, just say 'Jump quick in my car, there is an emu!'.
When you want a hotelroom and they are full, just say in the lobby 'I heard that there are some emus in the neighbourhood'.
