Tony...there's so much you missed with WW2 The US Navy Submarine base on the Brisbane River. The Battle of Brisbane three night riot. Even the old WW2 bomb shelters that were turned into bus stops all over Brisbane and the suburbs. Fort Lytton should have been a must stop for you being a Victorian era historian too. The US 5th Air Force based at Archerfield aerodrome.... So much history in the CBD and surrounds.
Thanks a lot. The battle of Brisbane was between the US and Australia. Its quite interesting and amusing I was expecting that not an histoircal tourist walk.
Brisbane really changed with rapid over development starting in the mid 1980s. It suffered like so many other places from over development by low grade politicians and corruption. I moved to Hervey Bay in the late 2010s for a more tranquil life.
As an American who fully recognizes Mcarthers contributions toward the entire world’s military efforts in the pacific, the man was fucking daft. He might have had big balls, but it’s hard to say since no one else ever filled his position. Maybe someone could have done it better, but who knows. I just can’t help but think of all the men who could have done my great grandfathers job better than himself, he just happened to be one of the few dumb and tough enough to do it at the time I guess.
Lol he was a racist rude tool and a useless leader and was lucky Australian commanders with more battlefield experience ignored him a lot and did their own tactics and saved countless lives who would of died for nothing if followed him. A lot of battles would of lost if followed MacArthur blindly. His stupidity and ego of trying to beat Nimitz and defeat Japanese first in Papua and didn't care how many Aussies he lost as long as won was disgusting. His claims of USA wins when was Australians only fighting is so disrespectful to all who died.
Most senior Officers hated his guts, he called Aussie soldiers Cowards when they stopped the Japs at Milne Bay, the first to do so. Then when the Americans tried to fight, they were found extremely wanting.
Watching this in 2024 and trying to date the film by the buildings that are not there yet. The floating river walk to Newfarm isn’t there. Nor Kurilpa bridge. My guess is early 2000s.
Brisbane is subtropical. The tropics don’t truly begin until you reach the Tropic of Capricorn, 650 kms north of Brisbane at Rockhampton. Then you have the dry tropics to Townsville before you hit the wet tropics below Cairns.
……book, ‘The Mayne Inheritance’, by Rosamund SIEMON is well worth reading for the history of the Mayne Family. Suburb of Mayne, & the Mayne Building at U of Q is named after them. Their inheritance funds the School of Medicine at the University, too………

Just because Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe and South Africa may have been better off financially during apartheid and Zimbabwe is now a failed state and South Africa may well be in its way... That doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good thing to end apartheid. I mean are you really saying that a government system based around racism is a good thing? If you really think that well... I mean fuck you I guess. And it’s not as though basing your government on racism is some guarantee of financial stability. Or any country that doesn’t will never be a good country to live in. I mean South Africa and Zimbabwe have problems. It doesn’t make apartheid good...
I was born, raised, and went to uni in Brissie, and grew up under Joh, the original Trump. I vaguely remember the protests, (I was 8)... And yes, I had honestly always thought that was meant to be a dalek! Thankfully I got out of that shithole after uni.
Let’s do a documentary on Australia now. Indigenous people begging the international community for help, draconian lockdowns, keeping healthy people in covid camps, arresting elderly people for walking their dogs. Ah, yes. Australia. A place I once dreamed of visiting and bestowing tourism dollars upon. A place that has been scratched off my bucket list. Good luck Australia!
Yes I also dreamed of visiting Australia and spending my hard earned dollars as a tourist. All I can do now is take solace in the fact the average Australian citizen is whole heartedly opposed to what's going on now
They've had pretty good luck so far, only 2,572 COVID deaths, whereas the US, which never really took it seriously has over 845,000 dead. I'm sure they're happy plague rats like you won't be visiting.
Australia, itself, is a drive-to-thrive nation. America, itself, is a rebellious nation. History is always upon us all. Fellow humans, NO ONE owns a crystal ball that can reveal the future...yet. 🤘🏻
Lol another low IQ who believes CNN lies and garbage.. what Healthy people in camps haha funniest fake propaganda i ever heard of. Only 2 states of Australia had severe lockdowns and i barely wore 10 masks during whole covid and saw 5 days maximum lockdown. My American friends saw worse then me. Our children were back in schools months before USA schools finished their stupid online garbage. I was at the beach while my American friends were in lockdowns.
This had absolutely nothing to do with Battle of Brisbane and is worse story of it on the web. Lol don't know much do you. i like how blame Australian Government for the African Americans and segregation of them. Was actually the USA forces who always separated their Blacks. The Aussies actually didn't like how the Americans treated their African Americans and was a part of the Battle of Brisbane hostilities

really enjoy these walks! hope to see more 👍 thanks!
No mention of the actual Battle of Brisbane, between the public with the Aussie diggers, versus the US soldiers in Brisbane?
Tony is the man
Yes, also 9:53 this looks more like a thimble to me, like Monopoly :)
Tony...there's so much you missed with WW2
The US Navy Submarine base on the Brisbane River.
The Battle of Brisbane three night riot.
Even the old WW2 bomb shelters that were turned into bus stops all over Brisbane and the suburbs.
Fort Lytton should have been a must stop for you being a Victorian era historian too.
The US 5th Air Force based at Archerfield aerodrome....

this is about the battle of brisbane. not a complete coverage
Enough about WW2, I would like to ask Tony how WW1 started.
It's also 20 years old and it's not his channel 😂
Tony is the best hands down 😎😁😀.
He's fun :)
I love to live in Australia half the year and the US the other half. Always summertime weather lol!
I'm originally from Melbourne but live in The Netherlands .. This is all making me homesick ..I'm missing Australia ..Thanks mate !
Tony runs around like a maniac in this!
at the bottom of Jacobs ladder is a old air raid bunker
……& the rock wall to the right of the last step along Ann St used to house Taxi 🚖’phones’ for the drivers’ to be told of a ‘fare’ to pick-up………
If I ever (get drafted) go to war, I'm gonna sign my name on that wall before I even join boot camp (in pencil, of course).
Tony the Joyful! 🤘🏻
My Grandad Cpl. LAURENCE BEUTEL is on the tea room ,dunny, where he ran a two up school.

Your right, it's currently underdeveloped.
Brisbane needs another 250k homes and they need to built 20 years ago thanks....
The tea rooms were there in 1993 when I visited them
You didn't go to the Commissariat store? Shame. Last convict building in Brisbane

Ok. My first thought was Daleks there but the real story is much better

Brisbane ain't good at PR and marketing.. Such a shame 😥

Lol. "He was known as a flogger".
Out of the mouths of babes.
Dear sweet, innocent Jenifer. Lol.
The commercial at the beginning got me to usnsub.

Oh no, don't usnsub LOL
Sure enough, I thought that was a dalek....😅
Titled "the battle of Brisbane" doesn't mention the battle of Brisbane.
I can't wait until they make these documentaries about our generation!
I'm sure the people of the future will think we were incredibly stupid.
Kassandra was not mad. She was cursed by the gods to have no one ever take her prophecies seriously.
Yes ending Apartheid was such a great move LMFAO
this the reason I dont read youtube comments, touch grass

The Battle of Brisbane? How WWII changed Australia forever? Did I miss something?
Free piss
bin chicken
Hey Tony you look good in a canary yellow helmet maroon leather jacket and knee high biker boots riding a Honda 250 with a teal gas tank and fenders
This bloke is very irritating
