#AgnesBuntine#ForgottenLives #Bullocky
As direct descendants of Agnes and Hugh Buntine (my birth name was Buntine), my family had heard quite a lot of her story, but this presentation provided so much more information about her life and the times in which she lived. The name "Albert" was continued down the lineage and it was the second given name of both my grandfather and father.
Thank you so much for acknowledging the memory of a true Australian pioneering woman.
Wow that’s amazing! You have an incredible ancestor and your family is very lucky!
Proper sheila!
Justified in the ignorant brutal times of CARVING a life out of the Cruelty of Blind Greed .
Genocide was not policed, too much death for the ancestral land Carers.
I can not see any sightful change of this Brutal greed.
I am a shamed by the brutality that has continued too long .
The first Nations made this land beautiful by seeing its true Spirit.
Time to see there is more than sorry.
Sorrow is deeper, the land will Wither without the songs.
At what price ?
True Pioneering Wealth.
For the gains of land what lives were taken?
There were no obstacles to your pioneers desires for more.
Not even the ĺives of the Nation's populations.
Always the self righteous keyboard crusaders have to fly in on their broomsticks to deliver their unwanted screeds.
I really appreciate your taking the time to acknowledge the persecution of the indigenous people! a really meaningful addition to another great story thanks much for both
Yes.
Typical Glaswegian woman. Very tough, no bullshit attitude, hard working individuals you wouldn’t want to mess with them that’s for sure!!
Reminds me of TRUMP'S MOTHER !!
@@StephenMortimer 🤣🤣🤣
I can attest to that..coming from a female dominated good Scottish family..you don’t mess with us or ours 🤣
@Makepunjab greatagain ...because that's the most important thing about a woman /s
Your use of images is so skillful. Finding and choosing them must be a large part of your creative process. Thank you.
Thank you FL. A great story about a tough woman. It also makes me sad how our forefathers tried and did massacre the aboriginal people of Australia that part of our history is disgusting
Its also a story ot the early settlers and the hardship they had too make a life in Australia. Thank you FL!.
Apart from that. 😢
This is so very interesting. I am from a town called Buntine in Western Australia. I think it was named after Noel Buntine. Agnes was his great great grandmother!
Awesome!
Man, you do live out in the sticks! Closest I've been is Dalwallinu WA
@@NathanChisholm041 Dalwallinu is about an hours drive from our old farm!
@@ButterflyWings1900 Ok cool! It will be stinking hot out there today!
noel is my great uncle
What a wonderful story this is. I live in Australia and have never even heard of her. This is the sort of information that we should teach our children in their history classes.
I was taught about the massacres
@@menufrog as you should have been. Those were people of that land. They mattered.
@@AYKAY88 was it his fault?
Take the vaccine!
People in this day are unaware of what we have to do to survive and prosper.
@@AYKAY88 for sure, the only reason I commented in the first place was to challenge present day storytelling, and in recognition of a sanitised "history". Appreciate you caring, as does my Indigenous Family
Thank you for chronicling the lives of so many women.
Its funny how most "forgotten lives" are the lives of women 💀💀
That part
She ...
*rolled over * a fire...
to put it out.
THAT'S the HEIGHT of badassery !!!
Tried get him let me stay home protect him n his community he REJECTED ME HIS LOSS GAME OVER
Sometimes life makes you tough.
Part Time Mother Full Time Badass - That's a badass title!
I no Rite! Luv it🤘🖤🤗
There are no part time mothers. Utsa full time job.
@@djamburere I know a lot of women who work. Some need to but most of them use the extra money to provide their family a nicer life. Totally valid and respectable reasons, doesn't mean they shy away from the responsibilites of being a mother.
What does badass mean, I hear it often, but only ever from yanks. the meaning seems to be a movable feast, and so I know I don't have a clue.
@@neddyladdy To me, a badass person is somebody who inspire respect even if sometimes for unappropriate reasons but still not evil itself
This was a very interesting story to say the least about, Agnes Buntine. I really have mixed emotions about this story, on the one hand this woman that was featured accomplished alot for her large family and others. But, the way the people who were native to Australia, the aborigines were horrifically massacred on their natural homeland was "despicable." Great historical investigating, you always do an excellent job of which I appreciate immensely.
It is despicable, it's happened, all over, forever - we now can prevent it from happening again, and help those who ARE affected by it. They didnt stop taking aboriginal children until 1977... did it to provide the kids with a 'proper upbringing'.... unfortunately their alternative was probably better, and is a dying memory as many other indigenous populations way of life is or has been.
I agree it’s a deeply shameful chapter in world history.
I wonder what kind of relationship she had with her last husband. "Yes, dear."
@Vanilla bhabi g¡rl That depends on how far you want to go back, humans have been crossing over to distant land since time immortal
@Vanilla bhabi g¡rl we need to move forward, not back and we need to respect each other more, the American Indians should be given much of their land back but sadly, where there is money and greed, that won't happen. This causes problems everywhere, those with wealth and power never seem to have enough. Everyone else suffers.
The artwork in this one was a real treat to see; thanks.
Another fascinating life story. I love how these strong & independent minded women end up marrying or living out the remainder of their years with younger men.
Good for her!!
I love your opening. The fingerprint animation and audio reminds me of intros in public educational t.v. in Boston (WGBH) in the early-mid 1980s. You present fresh content instead of recycling often told TH-cam stories. Your mini-docs feed my curiosity now as those PBS docs did when I was five. Thank you for posting consistently high quality content.
WGBH for life!! :-) CT viewer same era - the 3 networks + WGBH, PBS so important
Wow, rough, hardy woman who lived a harsh life. I'm surprised she lived to 73😮
And I don't know if I've said it before, but I really appreciate and enjoy your narrating💯 You speak clearly, crisp, well enunciated at an even pace, and the volume is perfect. Ty!😊
I wonder if her property is still in the Family? Also You do a wonderful job, keep em coming mate. Especially the Aussie ones.
Thank you for sharing my Great, Great, Great Grandmothers story. Our family members continue to live in the area as well as around Australia. Some of the story can be added to and expanded and her story can be read in her entry at the Australian national university online. There are some indiscretions in your information that can be questioned, but again thank you for highlighting her pioneering spirit and giving an online voice to Australian pioneering women.
I thought she was a very interesting person to say the least. 😁
As a descendant of Agnes Buntine I too found some discrepancies in this story.
And in the early years, Melbourne was named "Batmania", a most suitable name. Should've kept it.
One of the federal electorates in the area is called Batman. I wonder what the origin of this is? edit I just googled it
John Batman (1801 - 1839) was an Australian grazier, entrepreneur and explorer, best known for his role in the founding of Melbourne. He is buried in Fawkner cemetery in Melbourne.
She had guts and was a strong woman who cared for others...GOD BLESS HER and her husband...an amazing life and an amazing woman and family
Tell That To The INDIGENOUS Population Who Suffered At The Hands Of People Like Her.
@@rebeccalee1065 History looses much. No Human story is lost to God. 🖖
@@rebeccalee1065
My grandmother would have shot your ass Lee .. she lived alongside Yakima Indians with her kids .. she tolerated no THEFT and DRUNKENNESS
Why not check the crime statistics of the COLOREDS WORLDWIDE ??
@@rebeccalee1065 EXACTLY.
@@barrydysert2974 I guess "God" likes to keep "hell" full, as 'he' doesn't seem to help those that suffer from cruelty or strike down evilness.
Fantastic vid as always...I love that you didn't gloss over the fact that despite being a strong, capable and decent woman- she may have played a part in the horrendous murders of the natives... Terrible what our distant ancestors did... I believe it was partly due to Darwin and the scientific thought of those times- they truly believed that the darker a person's skin was- the less human they were! Not long out of the trees they determined... Bloody terrible... Thank God in several generations we know that it doesn't matter what colour skin a person has- they are just as intelligent and important as everyone... ☮️🙏
If she play a part of killing the Aboriginals then she is not decent,. Strong and tough that is all.
@@margyb7469 true- I meant decent to her fellow white people, not the natives.. 🙏
🙄
I appreciate the research that goes into these presentations, I learn of people I would never know about. Thank you 😊
He just reads it straight feom Wiki
This made me cry. I can’t imagine what she went thru! What an inspiring woman!
I'm from Sale, there are still Buntine's living here!
Also Hallet's too. And the road to Walhalla is still scary as,lol.
Is that how Butines bridge got its name?
@@margyb7469 No, that would have been named after someone called Butine.
One Buntine, two or more Buntines. One Hallet, two or more Hallets. Plurals do not have apostrophes. Learn!
@@dunruden9720 , sorry I'm clearly not as well educated as you 🙄
I throughly enjoyed that story, I really admire her. To be independent.. physically and mentally strong, courageous... skilled, no one got in her way! Good for her. I’d like to be her friend. Thank you for telling her story .. I never heard of it . Oh I watched it three times.
There are also strong women without Agnes' genocidal tendencies but you do you
@@gggggggggggggggggg161 ?
I absolutely loved this story. As a history geek I love to hear stories like this. My great grandmother drove cargo wagons on the Oregon Trail for her father, so stories like this make me think of her as well. Thank you.
Another amazing story from the past . Thanks for this fascinating story of life in the New Colony and how life was for women.
Love stories about strong capable women--she certainly was one!
What a woman, full of admiration for her. She helped to build Australia.
I learn the most fascinating things from your stories. I had no idea that oxen were used in a train like that. Amazing...
This really reached me on a personal level. I'm very grateful that you did this piece and I thank you. 🌻
I am a direct descendant of Hugh Buntine and have had stories of her from my grandmother. She was always referred to as Auntie Kate but I don’t know why, possibly as she was the step mother. The family pronunciation of Buntine is with a long “i” as in “fine”.
So do you know @BarbaraFerrar(Buntine) .
Right are yall cousins
I'm bingeing a bunch of your videos that I haven't seen, and this was most interesting! Some of my ancestors emigrated from Wales and Scotland to New South Wales, Australia, before coming to the U.S. I know nothing about their life in Australia but it pains me to think of the possibility they also may have been complicit in a genocide. Thank you for the remembrance of this forgotten life and the history of the terrible toll on the Indigenous people. Lois from PA, USA
Thanks for this. I live in Bairnsdale, Victoria, Australia very closer to where most of this took place. I had not heard of her so thank you it was very interesting. 👍👍👍

@@StephenMortimer WHY Are You So Mean (To Someone You DON'T Know)? Or, Are You That EMOTIONAL?
Being born black in America, it has always struck me . . . the bloody, centuries-long legacy of Europian colonialism and racism. Everywhere they went, if you were brown they put you down and then took land for profit . . . or sold you for profit . . . or bred you for profit. Yet they used to call Aborigines "savages". Thanks for this small "expose". I appreciate the research you put into this.
I agree
I’m from east Gippsland and this is the first time hearing this
Sad they don’t teach local history or even Australian history like this at school
They would round them up and force them into parts of the gippsland lake so they would drown and any that made it to shore would be shot, that's what they did to save on ammo
@@knackers2773 OMG, so sad.
So sad, I wonder your sentiments is how Aboriginal people feel
@@menufrog just wait long enough and history will be lost in time. Like many atrocities, many squatters from Gippsland that arrived around the mid 1800s were on the receiving end of such atrocities by the hands of the English.
I had aussie history at school over 10 years ago maybe youre school just didnt.
Good history. Wonderful pictures. As usual you are a good story teller. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Your thumbnail says it all! Thank you for sharing Agnes' story!
Thank you for highlighting women on your channel. Very entertaining and I look forward to your next one.

Me too but I feel for the BLACK PEOPLE THAT WAS THERE 1ST
Me too!
So happy this had a shoutout to listen to. Love it. Thanks

Really enjoyed this story, much like the Stagecoach Mary story. Pioneer women were tough. Thanks for bringing these amazing stories to light!
Thank you for educating me everyday! 🐈🐾

Thank you for a fascinating story about someone who helped shape my country!
That is a tough woman right there. During a time where women were meant to stay at home and raise children and the men went out to work, here is this woman transporting goods across rough terrain and taking care of her man and her family at the same time. Respect right there.
Love hearing about strong women. Who became wonderful Role models!!! Keep up the brilliant work!!❤️

Excellent Channel about people who were important in History, however, many have long since been forgotten. If you love History this channel is the best!
Thanks very much for the support!!!
The Bush land in Gippsland was over 13 metres high of scrub and bush. The bullocks were the only way you could get through. The roads are being upgraded at Rosedale. Sale is expanding and becoming more urbanised. Wallhalla has been kept as a historical town. The last fire and floods caused damage to the narrow windy already dangerous roads up there.
Thankyou for the history lesson. Great work.
She is just one of the thousands strong women back then and now the outback and bush are still hard dry hot places 😊🇦🇺
Forged in Scotland
If no people around and I had water and internet, I'd love to live there.

Compared with her COLD, WET and SQUISHY homeland ??
@@rebeccalee1065 correct
I can't even imagine what it was like then. She was definitely tough!
Thanks for another Awesome Video! U Always have Very Interesting Topics❤Excellent Job🤘🖤🤗
great to hear this story, i was born and raised in Ormond, which is the next train station down line from Glenhuntly.
my first relative in Australia was on the second boat to Melbourne (from Tasmania) with John Pascoe Fawkner (John Batmans partner in founding Melbourne), her Husband at the time (not related to me) was a brickmaker and was recruited by JPF for the new colony.
.
edit: i have a sister living in Gippsland, so know many of the small towns named, though some no longer exist.
Wonderful story! As an Australian I appreciate it.
That lady,had a really hard life ,but just forged through it all. I am glad that she eventually got some quiter times ,later in life, extremely interesting,thanks for a great story
The picture are so nice! Amazing video and narration FLives. I enjoyed it! Thank you so much.
Thanks as always :)

Always a pleasure. Thank you

Thanks for excellent and interesting choice of subjects as usual👍
This was great! Loved it!
bruh I just had to read the video title and instantly knew she'd be from Glasgow
That was an excellent documentary. thanks for uploading it for us to enjoy. ☺
Love the story, the part of her clothes preventing extreme burns was surprising and interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Wow what a woman. She was born at a time when some women did what they had to do . Seems she did it well. Way to go agnes. I guess she was the first cougar. Never the less I'm glad she lived passed her 60s. I enjoyed this one a lot. Agnes was indeed a badass.she knew how to handel herself and do what she had to do.👍👏💯💜🙂🌷 you always bring good interesting stories I enjoy very much. For her to marry a much younger man at her age took guts and balls. Make me proud to be a woman. My kind of shero. Once again you did it. I learned about a nother great woman,one who indeed.could teach some of the young women of today how do a job learn hell earn a living, and not afraid of hard work. Glad her husband didn't mind keeping the children. Wonder who did the cooking and the washing😁 thanks for another interesting story
👍👏💯💜🙂. Take care and be safe. Can't wait for the next one. Love, respect, and positivity always.. neita james👋.

She beat the natives. What a great person.
@@lloydchristmas4547 If the natives had tried to use you as fish bait, would you still whine about her beating them?

She definitely got things done,great story😁
Hello from Melbourne. Never heard of this amazing story FL. Thanks for compiling and putting together. Great narration as always. 👍
She was one tough woman! She was also a cougar, marrying such a younger man! I wish I had half her determination and guts! Thanks for an amazing story!
Glad you enjoyed the story!

What a story!

Hej ifrån en Skåning i Melbourne 😊. Hoppas att allt är väl i gamla Sverige, här sitter jag i början på vår sommar som förmodligen kommer att bli varmare än helvetet själv. Svårt att komma i julstämning när det inte är kallt och vintrigt, vi har oftast runt 30-40°C över jul helgen.
Ta väl hand om dig och din familj ☺️
@@swedishlina Skåning här med! Ja det e så grått mörkt o dystert så jag har ingen jul feeling alls! Kul att höra ifrån dig
Får jag fråga hur du hamnade i Melbourne?
Kramar
@@swedishpiggi hejsan, jag hoppas att det är okej om jag svarar på din fråga på Engelska eftersom det är en lång historia och att jag redan har den ner skriven. Det är lite snabbare än att jag skriver ner den igen, speciellt på Svenska, eftersom den är lite ringrostig. Jag använder bara min svenska mär jag talar med min familj hemma, och jag skriver väldigt sällan.
The story on how my husband and I ended up getting together.
I'm from Sweden and was working in Brighton and ended up going to visit my stepsister who was studying in London at the time ( her name is Lina as well, I know that is super weird) we went to a pub and saw this really cute guy and said to my sister, he is going to be mine for the night. It ended up that we went to third base straight away that night. He was an Australian and was in England on holiday and I thought I was just going to enjoy him for a night before he went to Cambridge for a day before he was heading to Ireland. We had such a great time together and he ask if I wanted to join him on his trip to Cambridge and I said yes. So we spent the next day and night together, I gave him my phone number so we could meet up again before he headed back to OZ. He rang me from Ireland asking if he came back early, could we spend a few days together and of course I said yes. We spent 3 lovely days together before he headed back to Australia. I told him I loved him on the second day and he said nothing. On the third day we discussed if I should come to Australia to give us a go, and I was willing to travel to Australia to give us a chance. I told him I would never be a mother and if that was an issue to just walk away straight away only to be fair to him. As I left him at the train station he yelled I love you as the train doors closed. We spent the next three months calling, faxing and emailing each other. I then left Sweden to see if things would work for us in Australia, well 21 years later we are still together happily married and I have never regretted taking a chance on us. I have never been as happier and thank my lucky star that I picked him up on that first night, even though he is 10 years older than me. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 15 years ago and he has been looking after me ever since as I had to stop working at the age of 31.
The only thing I miss is my family of course but I am lucky to be able to travel and see them every year. We have done so much traveling, we have lived in Thailand in two nine months stints, backpacked around Asia for 8 months and Nepal for a full month. We wanted to do as much as possible before it got to hard for me to do.
Så det är sagan om hur jag hamnade i Melbourne, vi har bott upp och ner på hela östkusten av australiska kontinenten. Jag älskar mitt liv här, men det går inte en dag utan att jag undrar hur det skulle vara att få flytta hem till Skåne igen. Jag kan inte säga att jag kommer ifrån en stad i skåne eftersom jag har bott i Malmö, Landskrona, Simirishamn och Skanör, så jag är en liten lite blandning av alla dom städerna. Jag har en vis tendens att flytta rätt ofta, har har som sagt var en orolig själ.
Du får ha en underbar helg, med kära hälsningar från Melbourne 😊
@@swedishlinathat was just so sweet and im so happy for you 💕 Thank you for the story

And that's fine. I still SAID what I said!
Agnes sure was a fascinating woman thanks 4 sharing her story stay safe and I'll see u next week 😀😊
Excellent series, bro. Excellent.
Agnes was certainly a force of nature when it came to providing for her family, a very strong determined woman. I feel the comments about the massacre of the aboriginal people are out of place here, I don’t dispute it was horrific but she wasn’t the perpetrator of such behaviour she was just a hard working tough woman making her way the best she could during some really awful times.
How do you know she didn't play a part in the slaughter? Did you live in fairy land.
Shut up Margy
Great story, Thank you.
My pleasure!
The quality of the paintings is superb.
Eye opening and interesting.. thanks!
What a magnificent story. Thanks
Perfect timing!
I come for Gippsland. Thanks for doing this one.
CR sent me, great job 🇨🇦🐘💗
Awesome!!
You choose the most interesting stories!
Really enjoyed!
Thanks!
Found you via Brief Case and I love your content. Thank you.
As a woman I should find this story inspirational; & once I may have applauded her tenacity.
However now, knowing I am a decendant of a Wongii Woman & a man transported for life for "trespassing" I have a hard time feeling nothing short of contempt for her...
Anachronism or not...
Great story though 🏅
Your research is always amazingly thorough & tastefully presented.
Maybe,should you be lucky enough to have a spare moment you could have a peek at an Australian hero..... a man called Yagan...❤🖤💛
It's so good to learn that even way back when real strong women also existed and remembered. Even in the roughest of terrains. Not just courtesans, prostitutes,and such. And or too dainty to survive a storm.
For anyone who wants to excuse her abuses and potential slaughter of native peoples as "different time" please bear in mind even in those times there were people who knew it was wrong and protested against it. Same as slavery in the US. Yes - lots of people did. But they had a choice and even then there were people who recognised it was wrong and stood against it, making political movements to oppose the 'norm'. In Nazi Germany it was the norm to stand with that party and not aid those it targeted but there were those who stood against it at the risk of their lives. More recently we have people who are racist and want to continue colonial attitudes and it's the norm, as well as prejudice against LGBTQ+ people but people still have a choice and there are those who stand against it. Wherever there has been injustice and biggotry, there have always been those who recognised it and sought to do better personally and politically. You can admire the admirable things and toughness of frontier life, the difficulty of her personal life etc whilst still deploring the abuses instead of glossing over the whole thing with a sheen bogan patriotism. In fact, this is utterly required if you are to truly learn from history.
Whats your point?
He said that it was these murders were kept very secret because the penalty would be very severe...hanging. It was definitely not official policy! This is important. These were the actions of criminals.
thank you for caring about the injustice done to these people.
Good call
We have no clue wether she was involved in the slaughter of aboriginals so to speculate that she did is disingenious.
As for her abuse we still have no stories telling about it, for all we know they could have been doing awful things on par with the guy about to force himself on the girl that led to him being whipped.
Or you could be right which is why speculating she did it out of malice is dumb beacuse we not only don't know we also probably never will.
I really enjoyed learning about Agnes.
Thank you for the Video 💕
Glad you enjoyed it!
What an amazing woman!
She reminds me of an Australian friend of mine. She's exactly the same. Tough, resilient and proud. Must be the name. She can be terrifying, funny and kind all at the same time lol.
