Cheers Tony and Merry Christmas

I never thought you would be doing history in my local Freo!

OMG- Baldrick is in WA!! Tony, I know you have done so much of note in the years since, but you made me laugh so much watching and rewatching BA. The thought of accidentally bumping into Baldrick in Freo is hilarious in itself. Welcome to WA.

My grandad Dennis Richard bird did a few stints in Freo jail.

Someone please inform Tony that in Australia if you’re “in the nick” you are naked 🤪🇦🇺

Tony, I should be telling you about the stories at Freo Prison involving ACDC's Bon Scott being an inmate and the legendary Brendan James Abbott escaping during the fire, dressed as a prison guard, then having the audacity, whilst on the run, to come back to Freo Prison and sign the visitors log as; Name: B. Abbott Address: Nowhere you'd find. Comments: Nice to come back and not have to escape again. When WA Police discovered the entry the next day, the Commissioner and the Police Minister were absolutely livid.

hello Baldrick :)

I lived in freo for 5 years. Loved it

I know it's history, but I think it needs to be bulldozed and a beautiful hotel with lovely grounds could be there. Not that many people are interested in prisons.

Welcome Tony !

Omg are you still in Perth? My sister was a volunteer tourist guide there for about a year in 2016. So much horror was endured there 😢

People seem to think Australia was settled by English gentleman stepping off the boat and claiming all in sight. The truth was far darker. The people sent here were lower than slaves. Slaves had value, convicts did not.

Welcome to Freo ! I hope you visited Ben Elton whilst you were here 🙂👍

I’ve just arrived in freo for Christmas! So this is a nice surprise :)

Aww he didnt do the underground water tunnel tour

This prison was running till 1991 without any sewerage or power so to speak. Basically people had to do their business in a bucket and their was no heating or air conditioning of any sort. I worked with a guy that was there in the late 80's till it closed. 40 degree days are not uncommon in Perth so you might get an idea of what the prisoners had to deal with. Hence why it closed. The heat mixed with the smell was the most horrible thing he'd ever experienced. Sorry i didnt ask him what he was in for but he was a respectful albeit odd person. No need to ask. He did his time hard!

Great tours, just make sure you get a better guide. Some are excellent, few are arrogant. The ex Screws can be very rude.

You were in Fremantle! That's awesome and welcome!

Hello my name is Kyle from Australia what is the man name talking and is a girls jail or boys thankyou for takeing the time to answer my question ❓

I live in Perth and Fremantle is one of my favourite places here. Love your work tony

Didn’t mention the Catalpa rescue.

"thought to be a communist" Gee I wonder why. His brother was a communist, his wife was a communist, the woman he was cheating on his wife with was a communist, he had communist sympathies when he was younger... I'm sure it's all just a coincidence. And prejudice!

Crowley was a horrifically awful person who should not be highlighted in any way

The cannon was louder before, but someone complained and so they made the load smaller.

Not all went to jail for serious crimes.

I live in Perth and I love these tours

Not much of a video.

I arrived here in 1854 ! If you don't believe me go to the Freo Museum and look at those plaques of early arrival's of the area....my name and it is the exact same spelling and ot is on there and claim's that l arrived in 1854 !

Tv for old people

These are old i watched these years ago

The great Dutch explorer Willem Janszoon who saw Cape York 15:01 not to be confused with "Abel Janszoon Tasman", or more commonly known simply as Abel Tasman. Abel Janszoon Tasman was the first recorded European to visit New Zealand in 1642 (That is the real NZ). He gave New Zealand it's European name after his wife who was from "Zeeland" in the Netherlands. There is no record of Ab Tasman ever actually setting foot on NZ soil. He anchored near Farewell Spit at present day Golden Bay at the very top of the South Island / Te Wai Pounamu, and attempted to put ashore a landing party in a long boat. They were intercepted by Maori in canoes (waka) and after a misunderstanding the landing party were killed. At the time Tasman named the bay "Murderers Bay" and then left.

I live near Fremantle & went to the night time tour of the Fremantle Prison a few months ago. What a good atmosphere that was.

You've not been to the prison unless you went to the hanging room, or the tunnels. Disappointed Tony as a Freo local

He's already got it.

1:55 it be more funnier if she asked him asked baldrick

The jail escape was a cunning plan.

Brenden Abbott's escape was far more interesting and successful

I know people that were prisoners here. One of them was there when they had the last hanging.

A prison crims feared being sent to. Shouldnt have been shut down.

I've done all the tours of Fremantle prison, it's an amazing building

So proud of white history at the same time us aboriginal people were take to Fremantle and imprisoned to be murdered on mass

Tony the prisoners made to kill us aboriginal people why didn’t you start with the write history don’t be proud of white history it was a massacre site And you didn’t mention it

The "aboriginal " fellow is more white than Tony

WRONG TUNE The guy playing the bugle in Newcastle in honour of an Australian ex-POW 1:27:51 is playing the American "Taps" instead of playing "The Last Post". In Commonwealth countries it should be the Last Post in honour of Commonwealth soldiers - Australian, New Zealand, Canadian and British. Taps is for Americans soldiers. It is the US equivalent of our Last Post.

In 1994 a movie was made of the murder committed by those two school girls. "Heavenly Creatures" directed by none other than Peter Jackson. It was the movie which gave Melanie Lynskey and Kate Winslet their big breaks in movies leading in Kate Winslet's case to her role in movies like "Titanic".

"Let's give Tony the clap" 😜🤣🤣

I love everything Tony does. OMG, those drawings are incredible. Thank you !

I'm from NSW originally. Some of my ancestors came from Hobart and Sorelle. Tasmania is so beautiful! Loved the place. Love that bite of cold too! So wild and beautiful. I actually thought Port Arthur was beautiful ❤️

Very interesting. I’ve never heard of the Egyptian arrival before that I can recall.

3:30- i wonder if this Mcoy was related to the Rochester NY Mcoys?
