I'm pretty sure I only have 1 convict ancestor and it wasn't on the first fleet (he arrived on the Indefatigable in 1815) but I still find the first fleet interesting to study. BTW I have no idea if I spelt that ship name correct. Now I'm sure some racist will come here and tell me I don't belong here and before you do save it. All but 3 lines of my ancestry go back at least 4 generations on this land and I'm 5th generation at the eldest. Henry Hart (arrived as a child convict in 1815) was my great*4 grandfather. He had no choice but to come here. Nor did I have a choice but to be born here. I've never even been to another country. Where exactly do you think I belong? I'm so sick of being made to feel like I don't belong in the only country I've ever known.
A picture can surely paint a thousand words. Without some of the artwork and recorded events, stories and thoughts from both sides back then. No one can really know or imagine what happened
1.6 Billion lives over 50 - 100 000 years Average population 300 000 Transformed the land from bountiful mega fauna and lush forests to a vast desert. Perspective. I wish I was an aboriginal elder to make up stories.
@@drdavinskyTBF as many as 1 in 5 Australians have at least 1 convict ancestor including myself. That is a huge proportion considering the last convict transport arrived in 1868 and the last on the East coast in 1850. There have been huge waves of immigration since then
Hi mate, don’t waste your time with this issue - of course it’s not balanced. Watch some paint dry or your grass growing - that would be a better use of your time.
wondering what exactly is the “other side of this story” ? Did the English not arrive in Botany Bay in a fleet of boats and interact with the surprised inhabitants who had been living there for quite some time prior ?
It seems to be narrated by Rachael Blake (Wildside actress, married to co- actor Tony Martin). She narrates heaps of Australian documentaries; really easy to listen to. This production looks like something the NLA (National Library of Australia) would produce.
I am very appalled by this video. The only 1:30 and everything said is wrong. There is no way Australia can support 1.6 billion people, unless you count everyone who has lived and died, which is an inaccurate way of measuring population sustainably. Secondly to call Australians the longest serving civilization on earth is incorrect. Civilizations have agriculture, permit dwellings, etc. But if you base civilization. on the length of time people has lived in a region, then West Africa would be the oldest civilization. We all come from West Africa. And why did they use the arrival of the first fleet as the first interactions with Europeans? The Dutch were the first. Even Captain Cook interacted with Australians before the first fleet. And the first fleet arrived at Kurnell Beach on the 18th-20th of January.
No disease was already present and ravaging the aboriginal population at same time ..was already present when first fleet arrived ..they noted the bodies and local abos did say was already present before boats arrived ...??? Many ,many original peoples perished in was introduced somehow and decimated communities throughout regions - Aussie fan, a bit of both cultures and proud of each !
0:26 Prof Janet McCalman "........1.6 billion lives......" Disgraceful, an absolutely disgraceful utterance. A lazy utterance of ignorance. At best it would be an unsupported wild guess but would more accurately characterised as a lie to justify a revision of history for political purposes or self-promotion.
To all those who think that Europeans should never have come to the new world: If that would've been the case, at some point sooner or later the new world habitants WOULD HAVE come to Europe THEMSELVES for sure maybe with the same intentions as Europeans were there.
I want to hear it. I want to hear how the last inhabitable continent was discovered, then colonised, then not invaded since. I want to hear about Australia as one of the most peaceful, law-abiding societies in the world. I want to hear about the aborigines' transition from the Stone Age to the Modern Age. I want to hear about how Aborigines have knives, forks, television, radio, internet, access to heavily-subsidised health care, shirts, shoes, wrist-watches, cars, a language that is spoken through the world (rather than just within your tribe), permanent housing, roads, the ability to travel the world, cups, supermarkets, pubs, airports, schools, and faiths other than Rainbow Serpent. I could go on...no, actually, if aborigines can't see the benefits, then I don't give a fuck.

Is there a better quality version of this somewhere?
“Dancing together on the first day”
lol!
Just because the painting said-so. That’s not how it started!!!
sources?
Where is the balance in this documentary? There are two sides to every story, and we are hearing only one side. WHY?
So its now you Woke folk to shout down history.

That was not the first fleet, that was the Duch. Perhaps even the Portugese.
Where did the glass for govt buildings and churches come from and when ?

This was just an introduction to a series of lessons I made for a year 9 food technology unit about Australian food
Now we use it to learn english in Year 12/ 11th grade in France
Yeah right mate....can you tell me which part of this doco educates me and year 9 students about Aussie Tucker??? Load of crap.
Hi Joe, can you tell us where to find the rest of this documentary?
Your dum lol
today i shall come out as homiesexual
Welcome Woodley, you are now in the most celebrated high status of society circa 2022

Very helpful thank you.

Actually I think it's east Africa--Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania. But I get your point.
What a load of rot. Evidence????

Noice😊
I love it
The historical inaccuracies in the first 1 minute were enough for me.
I agree 👍
Why do people listen to Pasco. He's not Aboriginal.
Him Wandjina person eh!!!!
0:37 not actually true. The entire continent of Antarctica is a desert therefore it's the driest continent.
Bruce hey the bloke who has not a single Aboriginal blood line in his family tree. But claims hes aboriginal.. so funny .
Very cool 😁😍😍😍😀
Hi I like yo videooooossssss
Back then it was a continent not a country ..
"Like Noah, he gathers people, animals and supplies"...... Um I thought this was meant to be a historical documentary?
Nah mate. Just an into to a year 9 lesson.
I like Bruce Pascoe ,he cops heaps of flak from mainstream
So this is the invasion?
hey abby
there's no proof they were here that long.
U ogday
You are definitely not Australian.
rip kvalitet b

Europeans made the world better!
Deal with it, your PC / WOKE opinion's are irrelevant to factual history.

This is nothing to do with the new world.

cjh68, yes you described it perfectly. Just one thing you could add is that Australia is the envy of the rest of the world.
