Reaction To Scottish Comedian Billy Connolly Meeting Australian Indigenous Peoples

[@pixie3760]

We love Billy here ❤❤❤

[@Aussie-63]

I concur with all who say OZ loves Honorary Aussie Billy Connolly, I also am pretty fond of Pamy. I have lived in remote OZ and just like everywhere else people are how you treat them. I also found this when I worked in PNG. When you get along with people it's amazing what they are willing to share with you. I loved my time with every Indigenous person I have meet in my travels.

My beautiful Dad worked on Melville Island and made good friends with some of the Indigenous people. Love Billy ❤️ 🇦🇺

[@sandrageach5955]

I loved my visit to the Tiwi Islands… Billy Connelly is amazing

[@goaway2803]

I'm so jealous, I'd love to be able to travel around Australia and learn more about the land. My Grandma was from Thursday Island and I want to go there also. Sadly, it's bloody expensive to travel here. Thank you for another great vid and yes, we love Billy, Mate.

Time to go walkabout brother.. if it takes time, it takes time… do it… If that yearning is so great… Bloody hell… I’d like to join you

[@caltravels9454]

I've been around enough and met many people, the indigenous folk are super cool and funny, not going to go into the race war we have, they are bitter people that live in the cities that can't let go of the past, I'd be here for days trying to explain it.

Everything is fresh and they only pick what they need to eat. What a stress free life. What a diverse country Australia is.

[@datwistyman]

I like Billy he is very funny and a cool bloke. I'm Australian, but never seen anything like this, (in real) but heaps on tv and KZbin. There was a show called "Bush Tucker man) that showed this stuff quite often. I'd love to see/do this 🙂

[@Just-Incredible420]

We luv Billy fuckin legend

[@penniehead2104]

Billy Connelly is the best comedian ever. His Australian tours like this were wonderful. Followed his career since he first appeared on tv. I’m 72 now and live in Australia. Wonderful man

[@matthewbrown6163]

Billy is a bloody legend - his accent is thick & we love it trying to understand him. Billy has shown parts of the country that most people have never heard of or been to. Billy adds mystery & intrigue in his stories of his travel adventures. His comedic tones inside these travel diaries gives him the honour of unique. Whilst other travel shows use a boring monologue with the same dull tones, Billy's is very separate to all others. Not to mention he is one of the funniest buggers I have ever seen too !!! LOL.

[@lillibitjohnson7293]

While they’re doing all of this, remember there huge salt water crocs that live there too lol

Beautiful place ❤ I’m living in McMahons Creek, Alpine national Park in Victoria. My sister worked with the flying doctors as part of her medical training and she went out to remote indigenous areas of Australia to give health care to indigenous women and their babies.

[@gmans777]

Awesome bit.. makes me wanna go there and hang out for a while

[@davejensen7922]

Have a look at Bush Mechanics for some more classic indigenous telly

Several star AFL footballers are from the Tiwi Islands, including several members of the Rioli family.

I've always loved him! Btw, Van Diemen's Land was the first European name given to the large southern Island south of then Nieuw Holland by the great Dutch explorer and mapper Abel Tasman. He named it in 1642 after his sponsor, Anthony van Diemen, the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies, sent him off to explore. The British used that name till 1856 to disassociate the island from its terrible convict past and to honour its discoverer.. "Van Diemen's Land" had become a byword for horror in England because of the severity of the treatment of its convicts. They also named the Tasman Sea between Eastern Australia and western New Zealand after him. Tasman was also the first European to land on what he called Nieuw Zeeland, after the south western coastal Netherlands province of Zeeland (sea land). It was originally called Aotearoa (colloquially in modern times the Land of the Long White Cloud) by the first Māori, then Nieuw Zeeland by Tasman and anglicised to New Zealand in 1769 when James Cook visited it. It's now a strongly bilingual country with so many of Scottish heritage you wouldn't believe (like me, though born to a Kiwi in Oz) and officially Aotearoa New Zealand. Many European people incorporate lots of Māori words and terms in their English. Now, lovely Scot MSTV, can you PLEASE do something to get your terrible on-screen videos in the correct resolution? Many have been stretched so out of proportion and flattened that they're too awful to watch, so I'll go to KZbin.

My family and I lived in Numbulwar when I was under 10 for a couple of years. My father & some of the locals (I can no longer remember their names as I’m now 52) used to catch crabs every weekend. I ate so many that I can no longer eat them, if I smell them I gag. I could tell you some stories though 😂 I have some great memories from growing up there 🥰

[@AndrewJens]

Thanks for this. I think you might enjoy _"Bush Tucker Man"._ There were three series (if you can find episodes on YT).

[@AndrewJens]

Turns out all the episodes are published by the ABC: kzbin.info/aero/PL7HSPnTFVAuFQkVzs3KzXjGXO78x-0HNE

[@datwistyman]

[@Tully_23_32]

[@lillibitjohnson7293]

[@LoueeLouii917]

[@lillibitjohnson7293]

@ fair enough, same thing really though to a yank lol

[@LoueeLouii917]

What yank??

[@lillibitjohnson7293]

@ oops nvm wrong all round. I didn’t remeber who’s vid it was

[@BarbaraMacDonald-bq1lb]

Pamela Stephenson is a Australian, born in New Zealand in 1949 & moved to Australia in 1953, so she is a Aussie 👍🇦🇺

[@adriansheridan7447]

This how humans should live, but i'm biased as an aboriginal gamilaroi fella

[@Jeni10]

Your video was stretched horizontally.

[@lillibitjohnson7293]

We don’t even have a treaty with aboriginal people. It’s disgusting

[@Greg-e8z7s]

Love billy looks like he has turned white from pale blue from one his jokes about being Scottish 😂

[@caltravels9454]

Billy is awesome, over does it with the swearing, don't mind swearing as most Aussies but he goes over the top, swearing with context is important, Billy swears just for the hell of it, Isaac Butterfield is my favorite comic atm, see him again in 2 weeks here in Perth, first time I saw Isaac was last year, ticket held for 3 years because of Covid. He did his best to refund everyone that didn't make the show, some peopled died in that time, forgot, moved interstate or lost interest.
