You say lesser known, yet 4 of these are well known and have many videos about them.

Thank you Tony for this beautiful documentary about a country that I genuinely like and that is Australia! I like New Zealand too! I think they are both beautiful and charming countries that I would love to visit one day! I think there were many good things from England, Britain and America of course that were technologic, material and spiritual! I think their culture is rich, beautiful and charming and stands for many good premises and values! I think they are people totally worthy of preservation! Again, thank you Tony for your wit and insight! Cheers!

This guys should’ve been president

Thank you, Tony for this brilliant series! Australia is just a beautiful, relaxed country! Canberra the capital, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth are all beautiful and iconic cities even though they are relatively young! Have to visit one day! You are witty and fun as always! Cheers!

Hello, Tony! You are so witty and funny as always! Thank you for this series! I would love to visit Australia and New Zealand one day! Such historic and beautiful countries! I remember seeing years ago that Melbourne is such a lovely and lively city! Thank you for showing us a bit! That fish story was so funny but also maybe sad as well! Again, great work! Cheers!

Darwin's true destruction was always underplayed as not to scare everybody but it was devastating

Are you our friend Mike Brady from Oceanliner Designs?

Roman concrete is not as strong as modern concrete. You could never build a tall modern building with Roman concrete. This is actually why it lasts longer as it has some flexibility and porosity.

That's not the Persian Gulf. That's the Red Sea.

it's interesting to see so many athletes from back in the day with large beards and realizing it's becoming more common again today.

Interestingly, having been born in Australia to U.S. citizens and leaving at the age of 5 I have no more advantage applying for citizenship than anyone else as far as I know. My sis renewed her Aus citizenship at 18. I never bothered. By Australian law I have no right to immigrate back to Aus without going through the same process as everyone else, even having been born there. Aus definitely has some strict immigration laws.

In my childhood in the 1970s we were taught Australian history in the most boring, Anglo-centric way imaginable. As a result we switched off. If we had had teachers like Tony we would have had a real appreciation of our own national history and prehistory.

"....ongoing family criminal conspiracy." 😮 Sounds familiar. hint: Starts with a "B"....

Wow Mike Brady doing something else. Not just ships. 👍👏

I love the English character of the Christchurch, beautiful architecture! So sad that a destructive earthquake happened! Again, Christchurch is beautiful! Charming city and charming country as well! Kiwis are lovely as well! That lady whose products you used, she was so gracious hehhe! Cheers!

Wow! Thank you Tony for these vivid episodes! I am pleased with myself that I actually completed them! From what I see, Aussies are really friendly, nice and lovely people! I like Canberra! Charming city and charming country as well! Cheers!

Thank you Tony for these great series on Australia and New Zealand! I think Aussies and Kiwis are welcoming, friendly and lovely people! They are developed, beautiful and charming countries! I would love to visit them one day and also New Zealand’s charming cities such as Wellington the capital as well as Christchurch and Auckland etc! Again, thank you for the series! Cheers!

Thank you Tony for these great series on Australia! I have always thought that Australia is such a beautiful, developed and charming country! Would love to visit its charming, bustling cities like Sydney, capital Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane etc! Tasmania also sounds wonderful! Again, thank you and keep up the good work! Cheers!

Great stories

Thieving dogs

What isnt mentioned is that John Horrocks commissioned a church in his adopted town of Penwortham in the Clare valley and became its graveyards first internee! His Camel was shot in the paddock below the church and was buried with a tree on top, which can still be seen today.

Baldric 😂😂😂

Tony Robinson !! YAY !!

Hey Tony i was across the road from you when you filmed the Chinese brick wall many Kennedy family still in Bendigo very good people

Tony you were across the road from my cousins house in Bendigo filming the Chinese bricks you funny bugger Baldrick my favourite i even gave that nickname to my stepson enjoy your time walks

😮😮😮

Wow, this was such a full series! The history of the Olympic games and their revival history also is incredible! I never knew that Englishman was involved, right? Remarkable! I am sorry about your family history, Tony! But you also noted that things improved and I think so too, they improved in an unprecedented way in other parts of the world as well! Carrying a tray for the boys was so kind, Tony lol… Sir Tony, you are an awesome presenter! You are energetic, witty, sharp and funny! The death of Milo, the great athlete was both funny and tragic as well as the story of the “handkerchief thief”! It sounded funny but I also think the man you mentioned got punished very severely as well! That Milo dude might have been very strong but he probably did not have it all right in his head lol… Sir Tony, your work is never boring and it is actually always interesting! What a privilege! Cheers!

I would love to travel and eat throughout Australia and New Zealand one day! Thank you for the series, Tony! Cheers!

Wow, London is such a historic and iconic city! Edison and Swan were just remarkable, they put the roots for internet, computer and their culmination - a portable personal computer that is iPhone! My eternal gratitude towards them! May they rest in peace! I just think that Australia and New Zealand despite the sins of their past are such beautiful, historic and charming countries who were also pioneers and achieved so much in such a short amount of time! I would love to visit both one day if I ever get the opportunity! Thanks Tony for great work and keep it up! Cheers!

8:47 - - Tony looks suspiciously like Bligh .

There is a difference between the Australian and American Crawls; the Australian Crawl trails the legs, the American Crawl uses the legs.

Another great video, thanks Mike. :)

I gave this thumbs down for one reason, those annoying unwanted intrusive ads invading my privacy and disrupting the continuity of the video. Adds are counterproductive because I purposefully will avoid any products that are being advertised even if I want something I certainly will not purchase one of those ads rammed down my throat disrupting my viewing. I will avoid these corporations like the plague, because they are parasites, and they pay KZbin to disrupt people which I think is pathetic. If I want something I will buy it not when it's rammed down my throat,

pity that was mostly crap and incorrect. the abbey at cefalu was originally a farmhouse. not a church. he died in hastings not cornwall and he was living alone in a boarding house. if your going to cash in on his reputation at least get your facts straight.

Hellfire clubs of the 1700s. The Hellfire Club is a term for several exclusive clubs for the upper class in 18th century Great Britain and Ireland. The clubs were known for their ceremonial drinking, dining, gambling, and carousing, and were associated with devil worship, blasphemy, and black magic. The clubs were a satirical take on the popular gentleman clubs of the time, and their motto was "Do what thou wilt"

Mr. Crowley, what went on in your head? Oh, Mr. Crowley, did you talk to the dead?

11.13 - Tony's standing outside 163b Palmer st. Where I once lived in 1979 and across the road from the squats where our Punk band used to rehearse for our gigs at Frenches up Oxford st.... chortle . .

quite sure when tony gets sick of wet miserible dreary and dull london.. He has got an idea where to settle

Hey, look, guys. I found our friend Mike Brady on another channel.😁

Did not happen in 79 Ad! It happened in 1621! To many objects from first 1500 years including pineapple painted on the walls which weren’t on continent until 1500’s. It has been proven false - the 79Ad eruption, but they still push the lie! Only one - 1 eruption in last few thousand years☮️

I hadn’t been to Newcastle for more than 60 years, when I visited in early 2024. It’s such a fascinating and beautiful city.

The real failure of sealion, happened when the RN sank the kriegsmarine off norway. Also if sealion was successful, would germany have the manpower to invade Russia? If britain surrunded would the commonwealth have followed suit? Would the Bismark sail into sydney or toronto unchallanged?

We used to see the Eternity on the pavements when we were young.

When I was a kid in the 60s I used to go to the North Sydney Pool for swimming competitions, often at night. It was bloody cold, and obviously still is. We deliberately lost races so that we could go home.

All history teachers should model themselves on Tony Robinson. I hang off his every word, and have done for years. No wonder he’s a living treasure.

As someone whose forebears lived in Townsville, and who now lives in Castle Hill New South Wales, right next to the suburb of Blacktown, this is all a bit trippy. So glad he's been through there and gets to talk about it.

With a hot air balloon, they might have survived. Hot air can easily be replenished during the journey no matter how much the balloon leaks, and would also have reduced the probability of snow and ice buildup on top of it. Sadly, they used hydrogen gas instead, which they had a finite amount of once they took off.
