I’m Australian of mixed European and Indigenous heritage and I think this was very interesting and done with respect. One thing I would like to point out that with some indigenous mobs it’s disrespectful to display images of deceased people and generally a warning is put up denoting that “this material contains images of deceased persons and may be distressing to Aboriginal viewers”. I’m not having a go at you for that as you weren’t to know but I thought I would point it out. Again it’s a great video and as an Aussie I’m proud you decided to make one on our country.

As an American I have had since 1980 a deep reverence for your country born of the Australian Broadcasting Service. It was then that American public television showed a miniseries called “Against the Wind” that permanently affected me as a boy. Your story as Australians yearning for Independence was our story as well as colonial Americans. The heroic efforts and persistence of Australians and particularly the Jonathan Garrett family of New South Wales who I understand actually still exist in Aus, brought many of us Americans to a love of a country which many of us in truth will never have the privilege to see in person. 🇺🇸🇬🇸

As an older Aussie (80+) I did enjoy your doco., but I thought I might add a couple of point that most Australians today are not aware of. Prior to 1949 Australian traveled overseas on a BRITISH passport. The 1788 landing at Botany Bay has nothing to do with Australia day, other than (now ) an unfortunate choice of dates, there was NO Australia day holiday. There were No Americans on the Kokoda Track and only one detachment of American" Cee Bee's" at Milne Bay. It was these 2 campaigns that stopped Japanese advance south. Had the Japanese taken Port Morseby they would have to invade Australia to control the Torres Strait. And deny the U.S. of access to Darwin Broome was also bombed as was Katherine, in the N.T Still a bloody good doco.

Pom was starting to be used only against the brits and it became such a fad within the new australian population. And finally to this day its used against the british as a joke and slang for who they are. Just like saying yanks for the americans.

The kangaroo mascot stationed in Egypt was named Skippy. Skippy was on permanent shore leave at Mena Camp, the British Empire’s training ground in Egypt. Another famous kangaroo was Jimony, the mascot of the No. 1 Australian Auxiliary Hospital based at Harefield in the UK. Apparently there were a lot more kangaroos used as mascots during WWI after members of the 9th and 10th Battalions smuggled them from home aboard transport ships.
@liftwell3 жыл бұрын
A good history that can be fit into 43 minutes. A respectful coverage of indigenous history and is likely to broadening the understanding of Australian history to Europeans and Americans. I particularly liked the mentioning of the Eureka Stockade, this actually was a major event that was a major trigger leading to the development the global movement of developing trade unions around the world. The flag represented in the Eureka Stockade is still a symbol of left wing politics and "workers rights" in Australia today. Your discussion of Australia's role in WWI is personally important to me due to my family's history in the conflict. A few important points I thought you missed (or may not of found through your research) I feel are important to share. 1. Shortly after Abel Tasman discovered Van Diemen's Land is was commonly believed that Van Diemen''s Land was not an island but connected to Australia. Some of the first maps of "New Holland" depict this belief . George Bass circumnavigated Van Diemen's land thus discovering it was a separate Island. The body of water in Between Tasmania and the Mainland is called the Bass Strait because of this. 2. Blaxland crossing the seemingly impenetrable Blue Mountains showed that there was a lot of pastoral land available to support the colony at Botany Bay (Sydney). Until that time the colony was struggling. (Wasn't great for the Aboriginals though). 3. No mention of the role of Bushrangers in Australian history (The most famous one being Ned Kelly). 4. The mention of suffrage to Women by some Australian colonies is important (It lead to the election of the first women in any parliament in the world in Western Australia). Edith Cowan is on the 50 dollar note and has a university named after her. 5. You mentioned a fair bit about the sea explorers discovering the coastline of Australia. There needs to be a nod to those who later on explored Australia's interior (Blaxland, as mentioned before, Burke and Wills, Charles Sturt and Ludwig Leichhardt for example). Some of these journeys had disastrous consequences due to the harsh climate and terrain. These guys are the Australian "Lewis and Clark". 6. While I know there are some issues about you telling the full story of WWII. Australian involvement in North African campaigns against the Nazi's such as the "Rats of Toobruk" and while you mentioned the role of Australian troops in New Guinea, I would of loved you to specifically mention the Kokoda trail and the role of the "Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels" with the Australian troops, it is one of the most heartfelt relationships and stories ever to come out of that terrible war. There was also significant indigenous involvement in that war especially from the Torres Strait Islanders defending their own traditional islands from the Japanese. Interestingly there was a significant Japanese population living in the Torres Strait at the time due to the Pearling industry. 7. That Australia responded to the US's request to send troops to fight in the Vietnam war. This is significant for the geopolitical shift away from the UK (who refused to send troops). It was the first international act that Australia carried out without blindly following the will of the original motherland. 8. The 1967 National Referendum that finally gave Aboriginals the right to citizenship and free movement. (Although IMO this should of happened decades earlier. I imagine the Civil Rights movement in the US was in a way the driving force behind this. 9. Some more recent significant events include the Republic Referendum in 1997 that didn't pass but was significant for it was the first time such a large member of the Commonwealth no longer wanted to recognise the Queen as head of state. The main reason for the rejection by the Australian public about this was not about severing ties with the Royal family but the method proposed in the questions as to how an Australian President would be elected. 10. The Australian lead UN peacekeeping actions that help East Timor (Timor Leste) become independent from Indonesia despite the threat from some rather violent pro Indonesian Militias in the year 2000. Again personally important for me as a Member of my high school class was part of that peace keeping force. It was also the first time Australia requested the US supply military support for a military action, the US politely declined but lent its moral and diplomatic support for the peacekeeping mission. 11. Another peacekeeping action this time for the Solomon Islands occurred not long after, at the request of the Solomon Islands government in 2003. This was as a result of a ethnic tribal leader threatening to violently overthrow the democratically elected Solomon Islands govt. and became close to succeeding if it weren't for Australian intervention. While smaller in scale to Timor Leste it lasted an awful lot longer with the last Australian peacekeepers leaving the island nation 14 years after it began. 12. Some less well known (even by Australians) Aboriginal people who violently resisted early settlers in some parts of Australia. Such as Yagan (in SW Australia) and Jandamurra (In the North of Western Australia). Some are still regarded as heroes by segments of the Australian Aboriginal population today. Also the well documented and tragic life of the last full blooded native Tasmanian Aboriginal: Truganini: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truganini. 13. The gay marriage plebiscite in 2017. Again was too late for a country that was supposedly liberal during the 19th Century as you described. The method of finally approving this is also controversial, it was an expensive way for the Prime Minister at the time to pass the legislation without upsetting the more powerful and socially traditional factions within his own political coalition. 14. Oh and also this as a result of WWI: "N'oublions jamais l'Australie" - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villers-Bretonneux

I noticed that there was no mention of the colony of South Australia being set up in 1834. South Australians have always been proud of our free-settler state vs penal colony origins! Up until the late twentieth century, it was looked on as dubious to marry an interstater. Even our accent up until quite recently was more English ( also thanks to a surge of English immigrants post 2nd World War) On 18 December 1894 the South Australian Parliament passed the Constitutional Amendment (Adult Suffrage) Act. The legislation was the result of a decade-long struggle to include women in the electoral process. It not only granted women in the colony the right to vote but allowed them to stand for parliament. This meant that South Australia was the first electorate in the world to give equal political rights to both men and women. This l believe was also worth mentioning.

I remember as a Young Australian in the 80's (primary school) most of the Australian history I remember being taught was about the Voyages of James Cook. No Aboriginal history until secondary school (It was the 90's) by then even then I lived in the Kimberly where there is a high proportion of Aboriginal people. We probably learn more about Aboriginal Culture from the Aboriginal Teachers Assistant rhe school has to employ under a new law. (I remember a few Social Studies field trips were she took the lead, one was about Bush Tucker and in another she talked about the local Aboriginal stories about the local river) the school had to legally employ than from any of our teachers. I'm a teacher now (Geography and IT) spent the first 5 years of my career in Australia, last 10 or so in the UK. The History teachers at my school seems to only teach about Aboriginal history when discussing Australia. If you are younger than me is this still the case? While I think it is important to teach Aboriginal history in Australian schools I don't think it should be completely at the expense of some Australian European history especially the Explorers Cook, Sturt and Burke and Wills.

Excellent documentary on Australia, better than the crap on mainstream tv. The country has an amazing history from its first peoples the aboriginals to the first European settler colonies. I visited OZ in 2011 on a working holiday visa, really enjoyed it. The countries recent history of economic prosperity with its relationship with China has become controversial, also it has some major infrastructure challenges it has never before encountered. Australia is a great country, but it has also become too centralised within its main cities in modern times, especially Melbourne and Sydney. I noticed small town Australia was struggeling from the concentration of wealth and resources to the big cities which is a shame. The Australians built a nice lifestyle and culture over time, but that is being erroded now as high immigration is swamping the main cities. I am saying this and I am not even an Australian, just a visitor nearly a decade ago from Scotland. The Ozzies were getting tired of the influx from what I noticed, but seem tolerant just now although that may change. This has pushed the cost of living through the roof as competition from so many new arrivals to the main cities has pushed housing and rental costs up and up to stratospheric levels. Young native Australians cannot afford even basic living accomodation, succesive governments in Oz have pushed for more and more immigration as it stimulates growth in the economy. Its a shame because the country is at a major crossroads now, the quality of life that makes people want to live there has diminished mainly because of its own success. What Australia sells the world about itself being the laid back lucky country no longer applies, most Ozzies I met worked long hours to make ends meet due to extremely high living costs. If you do decide to go there to live, remember you need to work to survive and if you are not in a high paying career I would reconsider your options great place though it is.

Well summed up. A big part of the onerous cost of living is foreign ownership of property. Due to China's currency manipulation many wealthy Chinese buy property in CA, AUS , NZ etc to avoid currency depreciation should it sit in a Chinese bank. Coupled with 0% interest rates this has created a massive bull market that has driven median house prices in Stdney and Melbourne to $1.2mAUD/$850kUSD, which is roughly 20x median household income. The great Australian dream used to be to own a quarter-acre block of land in a leafy suburb. This dream is dead for all but the elites, foreign and domestic.
