Why weren't we tought this in school it's our culture at it's rawest thankyou great doco.
Every history teacher should be like Mr Robinson
unforts theres not too much on here re Aus history by Aussies.
Thanks Mr Robinson.
Great work
Thoroughly enjoyed this! Interestingly, at 2:38, a woman introduced her ancestor, Lydia Monroe, sentenced to hang for stealing 10 yards of printed cotton... My ancestor, Anne Forbes, was Lydia Monroe's co-offender.. both caught, sentenced to death, then changed to 7 years transportation. Anne Forbes ended up marrying second fleet convict, Thomas Huxley. Family legend says Thomas Huxley was given his freedom and a parcel of land after serving his time. The local natives, apparently, couldn't get their tongues around the word Huxley, so called him Tom Ugly... to this day we have Tom Ugly's point (and subsequently, bridge, which came a lot later). Anne Forbes (Anne Huxley) was the second to last original First Fleet convict to die, in 1851. What a story she would be able to tell!
This is a fascinating series. Wonderful story about Australia and how some convicts, rich government bastards, and very entrepreneurial individuals cobbled together fortunes and a country. I loved it and will be scouring for more. Great job blended with just enough humor so the storytelling makes me smile.🤣🤣
Brilliant! Thanks for posting this ironically we couldn't get this series here in Australia till now. Go figure.
except we did, in 2012 or 2013
It was on the ABC
Been watching Tony since i was old enough to remember ,I've learnt so much from his documentarys ❤
20 fk yrs magik ,,,
Thank you 4 all you did
The careful and strategic use of fire by Aboriginal people is indeed a form of farming. And one of mutual benefit to the land and people alike.
Always good to see Baldrick.
they said he was in irons, and was treated with great kindness...
I always found the boomerangs in King Tut's Tomb fascinating.
Great videos.Tony Robinson certainly is a fantastic history teacher.
Those hieroglyphs only appeared in the 60s. Generally regarded as a joke ( if they are near Gosford).
yes this is near Gosford (Kariong), it is on Google maps, so not so secret, but access is currently closed by the National Parks due to "High rock fall risk"
They were actually shown to have been carved with a dremel (or similar powertool) lol
Some university students who studied anthropology admitted carving them in the fifties/ sixties
1:20 - I daresay those 28 women, condemned to death in Britain, who chose death over transportation to NSW, did so NOT as a statement of how awful the remote location was, but rather, the prospect of being raped and flogged and raped and flogged and....
You are probably right cause they did start to rape the aboriginal women due to the fact most of them were men. That's why they ended up bringing a ship out from England with just women on board.
44 seconds in & i'm rolling with laughter! Australia was a Penal Colony, people we'ren't "migrating" there, they were sentenced and sent there. It can't be the world's biggest migration if people were not going of their own free will lmao! Given the choice, do you think the people who were sent there would've preferred to stay in the world that they knew? I think that they would.
Few decided to go home
They may not have wanted to come but they definitely didnt want to go back. Why would they?
Yeah, they wanna get swept up in more endless cycle of half-arsed Irish rebellion attempts and brutal British crackdowns do they...? Good for them, but a farm near Paramatta with gorgeous parrots and bagging 45 kg of kangaroo meat as easily as walking out of the house with a musket... WINS !
Migration means nothing more nor less than the movement of people.
Regardless if that transport was voluntary, forced or accidental it is migration.
@@tomvanaarle2622 you are correct but in Australia weve distorted the meaning...a "migrant" would generally be considered a free settler. Through all the colonial history you wont find convicts referred to a migrants because they werent really trying to migrate, theoretically they were to return home at the end of their sentence, but few did because they coukdnt pay their way, or overwhelmingly they preferred not to return to the poxy hole they came out of.
We live in the most beautiful of places.
This is brilliant. Love Tony's docos. ❤
The music and score/sound effects IS ALWAYS 5x louder than the actors in everything lol
1:58:47 I can see my great x6 grandfather in confinement with you , he’s standing right behind you
Egypt built the largest most complicated building using ships to carry stone weighing tons but could build one to make it to Australia
tim flannery,,,,,,,isnt the the geezzer who said sydney &&& new york would be under water by THE YEAR 2000
Yep, flim flam is a lunatic fear mongering tosser without any basis for his predictions of gloom. He has been proven to be wrong on every pronouncement he has made. Why did the producers of this documentary interview him…?
Not sure about that one, but he did say Australia's dams would never fill again due to climate change. We are currently in an extended wet period that may last up to 30 years or more. He probably means well, but is also a bit of a sensationalist tosser. Australia is and always will be a place of extreme boom bust scenarios.
@raclark2730 if ozz was 100% zero emissions it would be y
The equivalent of a fkn fart in a hurricane..scientific fact
@@robroy5352 Indeed, its all pure hysterics, mixed with righteous virtue signaling.
That shirt button is holding on for dear life. 😅
Needs to treat himself and buy some shorts too 😂
Talking about bbq scene?
Really interesting. Excellent - but turn the blimmin' background muzak down perlease! 😨😱
2:02:44 love how everyone cracks up, at Toni's statement. Even the film crew ❤
Somebody, PLEASE PLEASE watch this.
2:00:00 reminds me of laying in bed and not being able to sleep in a strange way.
That blonde in the pub want in to the Battle of Vinegar Hill 😆
Agreeing to be shot first in a duel is the dumbest thing I've ever heard XD
❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I dont think thats right about Bligh hiding under the bed. It was a satirical cartoon printed in the paper at the time. He was actually standing there waiting for them.
There is a misconception the aboriginal race is the oldest 'continual' group of people in the world. In fact the oldest group of people in the world are the San People of Africa who predate the Australian Aboriginal by tens of thousands of years.
In Holland this has a different story
There are already enough people moaning over what cant be undone. Time we all move on eh.
Gidday cobber
The Egypt stuff has been proven false.
New Holland (Australia), Diemensland (Tasmania), New Zealand....the dutch should have claimed it 😂😂
"Van Diemen's Land", named by Abel Tasman in the 1640s
Could have been worse, the French could have claimed it.
@@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980 I could see myself having wine and cheese at smoko time....
Yes, we must always emphasise that the land in Australia was already occupied. And what about the rest of the world??? A lot of Aboriginal history is a modern day myth manufactured by activists today. And don't tell me, the CCP have discovered an ancient map that now justifies them increasing the 9 dash line to the southern tip of Tasmania.
Non Australian gibberish
Well, what about the rest of the world?
Acknowledging the fact that the America's were inhabited when the colonists arrived is pretty normal, for example?
I don't know if it was your intent, but the things you're saying are also often said by incredibly nasty racist revisionist people. Not calling you one of them, I don't know you, but saying things like this you do sound a bit like them.
Ah if Mr Dampier and crew had a hard time finding fish in Northwest Australia. He and his crew must have been quite rubbish at fishing. The place practically boiling with them.
Looking for a new penal colony after losing America. 😅😅😅
Aotearoa😂
Anything the English do that's bad it's British if there honor and glory to be had its called defined as English fact 100%
Tony buy some shorts don't know how you can walk away with jeans on
Anything but the English discovered "Australia" 😅😅
Haven’t the English yet been to the moon?
tony's british BS
Australia became a dumbyard of overcrouded English prisons.
First to English US Canada though.
All poor people.😨
The Rev Samuel Marsden gave all the female convicts in The Womens Factory a test of their "reasoning ability". Turns out they were all significantly more intelligent than the norm, and the officers, and him, and probably you. I have 5 poor convicts in my family tree, all marked "RW", when your ancestors almost certainly didnt.
The more intelligent you seemed to the magistrate, the more likely you were to be exported.
I call bullshit. 😊
Lol😂 our community would have shoned them. What and absolute load of b.s😂 do people actualy believe this rubbish when there are recorded recorded records of tribal war ( why did they have combat weapons (sticks) that differed from hunting weapons they lived peaceful what was the need for them😂
Oldest living culture in the world ??😂😂 lol that is a load of b.s obviously never heard of the sentenelese there 65k years old and still live traditional lives there not living of centrelink and watching t.v all day
@@dazzabrah3208 but you wouldnt know culture if you got your knob stuck in it
God NO wonder Australians fight hard against the English and Australia was NOT occupied, grab your calulator and do some long division and work it out for the truth!
I heard that the aboriginals migrated to Africa.
You heard incorrectly, they're still here & are abundant in many places.
The Hudson Rive is a misnomer - it's actually a fiord.
tony get it right the prisoners were slaves,,for the empire,,,,,,,not immigrants......
Forced migration is still migration. And after completion of their sentence many became regular citizens.
@@ike1660many were political prisoners too. Especially from Ireland. Poets, certain leaders, rabble rousers to the English. Not all were hardened criminals or bread stealers.
@ike1660 well they shure as he'll couldn't afford the fkn trip bak
Time Travels, Your creativity is impressive, wanna be friends?
colonisers not settlers. land was already settled.
