arrival of first fleet

[@toon9828]

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

[@XaviRonaldo0]

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.

[@jypsiehoult3951]

Is there a better quality version of this somewhere?

[@chrisd8598]

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.

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.

[@drdavinsky]

I made a video on my page why calling Australians the descendants of criminals is racist and offensive

[@aaronfranklin6863]

and how do ya know this,😂,stop assuming stuff,it doesn't make ya sound clever

[@XaviRonaldo0]

​@@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 Joe, can you tell us where to find the rest of this documentary?

Fun fact: In America following one of the most unjust wars waged on its neighbor Mexico, the anti war community inspired by some free states and presses against war, slavery, and the south detailed in a novel statement against the Mexican war and Texas rebellion that the war of conquest of Mexico was similarly inhuman and unjust in the laws of nations as “The Texan rebellion was one of the most barefaced, high-handed outrages ever recorded on the page of history, for which there is no legal or moral justification whatever, and has no semblance to any thing we know of, save South Carolina Nullification. Call the Texasses Sons of America? So are the inhabitants of Botany Bay sons of England, yet who will rank the transported convicts in New Holland with honest, reputable Englishmen? And who will rank Texans with the free and intelligent sons of the New England Puritans? So the First fleet event was used by American abolitionists and opposers of the war as a reference to the humility and inhumanity that would also tarnish the great America as had other similar conquests done to Europe.

Nah mate. Just an into to a year 9 lesson.

[@johncools1]

That was not the first fleet, that was the Duch. Perhaps even the Portugese.

[@IonianGarden]

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.

[@gutsfinky]

Actually I think it's east Africa--Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania. But I get your point.

[@samsabastian5560]

Where is the balance in this documentary? There are two sides to every story, and we are hearing only one side. WHY?

[@ardshielcomplex8917]

So its now you Woke folk to shout down history.

[@ericrichards6252]

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.

[@aussiesurfer805]

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 ?

[@graemesydney38]

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.

[@singrest2006]

Why is there not many comments??? I guess no one wants to hear it.

[@yolhanson]

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.

[@jamesglenn4266]

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

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.
