Brilliant! Thanks for posting this ironically we couldn't get this series here in Australia till now. Go figure.

[@charlescraig8994]

except we did, in 2012 or 2013

[@aussiemum1982]

It was on the ABC

[@ganneswilliams641]

Great videos.Tony Robinson certainly is a fantastic history teacher.

[@anitagoodwin4785]

This is brilliant. Love Tony's docos. ❤

[@msaltalola]

44 seconds in & i'm rolling with laughter! Australia was a Penal Colony, people we'ren't "migrating" there, they were sentenced and sent there. It can't be the world's biggest migration if people were not going of their own free will lmao! Given the choice, do you think the people who were sent there would've preferred to stay in the world that they knew? I think that they would.

[@redsword1659]

Few decided to go home

[@redsword1659]

They may not have wanted to come but they definitely didnt want to go back. Why would they?

[@TomasFunes-rt8rd]

Yeah, they wanna get swept up in more endless cycle of half-arsed Irish rebellion attempts and brutal British crackdowns do they...? Good for them, but a farm near Paramatta with gorgeous parrots and bagging 45 kg of kangaroo meat as easily as walking out of the house with a musket... WINS !

[@ctg4818]

The music and score/sound effects IS ALWAYS 5x louder than the actors in everything lol

[@TadhghR]

they said he was in irons, and was treated with great kindness...

[@geoffcrumblin9850]

Those hieroglyphs only appeared in the 60s. Generally regarded as a joke ( if they are near Gosford).

[@gold4leaf]

yes this is near Gosford (Kariong), it is on Google maps, so not so secret, but access is currently closed by the National Parks due to "High rock fall risk"

[@bastage5932]

They were actually shown to have been carved with a dremel (or similar powertool) lol

Somebody, PLEASE PLEASE watch this.

We live in the most beautiful of places.

[@sethlogee]

Egypt built the largest most complicated building using ships to carry stone weighing tons but could build one to make it to Australia

[@robroy5352]

tim flannery,,,,,,,isnt the the geezzer who said sydney &&& new york would be under water by THE YEAR 2000

[@kenc3288]

Yep, flim flam is a lunatic fear mongering tosser without any basis for his predictions of gloom. He has been proven to be wrong on every pronouncement he has made. Why did the producers of this documentary interview him…?

[@kelliv2995]

❤❤❤

[@My_in-laws_condo]

That shirt button is holding on for dear life. 😅

[@StuartWhelan-up8vs]

Needs to treat himself and buy some shorts too 😂

[@rocketamadeus3730]

Agreeing to be shot first in a duel is the dumbest thing I've ever heard XD

[@cherylkurucz8852]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@nataliemay415]

2:02:44 love how everyone cracks up, at Toni's statement. Even the film crew ❤

[@nataliemay415]

2:00:00 reminds me of laying in bed and not being able to sleep in a strange way.

[@perryanderson9103]

[@TomasFunes-rt8rd]

1:20 - I daresay those 28 women, condemned to death in Britain, who chose death over transportation to NSW, did so NOT as a statement of how awful the remote location was, but rather, the prospect of being raped and flogged and raped and flogged and....

[@MK-gn1nz]

Anything but the English discovered "Australia" 😅😅

[@jacquelinevanderkooij4301]

New Holland (Australia), Diemensland (Tasmania), New Zealand....the dutch should have claimed it 😂😂

[@gold4leaf]

"Van Diemen's Land", named by Abel Tasman in the 1640s

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

Could have been worse, the French could have claimed it.

[@DomingoDeSantaClara]

​​@@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980 I could see myself having wine and cheese at smoko time....

[@StuartWhelan-up8vs]

Tony buy some shorts don't know how you can walk away with jeans on

[@Melbournelost66]

Yes, we must always emphasise that the land in Australia was already occupied. And what about the rest of the world??? A lot of Aboriginal history is a modern day myth manufactured by activists today. And don't tell me, the CCP have discovered an ancient map that now justifies them increasing the 9 dash line to the southern tip of Tasmania.

[@redsword1659]

Non Australian gibberish

[@ike1660]

Well, what about the rest of the world? Acknowledging the fact that the America's were inhabited when the colonists arrived is pretty normal, for example? I don't know if it was your intent, but the things you're saying are also often said by incredibly nasty racist revisionist people. Not calling you one of them, I don't know you, but saying things like this you do sound a bit like them.

[@manicmatt7773]

The Egypt stuff has been proven false.

[@jacquelinevanderkooij4301]

Australia became a dumbyard of overcrouded English prisons. First to English US Canada though. All poor people.😨

[@redsword1659]

The Rev Samuel Marsden gave all the female convicts in The Womens Factory a test of their "reasoning ability". Turns out they were all significantly more intelligent than the norm, and the officers, and him, and probably you. I have 5 poor convicts in my family tree, all marked "RW", when your ancestors almost certainly didnt.

[@redsword1659]

The more intelligent you seemed to the magistrate, the more likely you were to be exported.

[@dazzabrah3208]

Lol😂 our community would have shoned them. What and absolute load of b.s😂 do people actualy believe this rubbish when there are recorded recorded records of tribal war ( why did they have combat weapons (sticks) that differed from hunting weapons they lived peaceful what was the need for them😂

[@dazzabrah3208]

Oldest living culture in the world ??😂😂 lol that is a load of b.s obviously never heard of the sentenelese there 65k years old and still live traditional lives there not living of centrelink and watching t.v all day

[@redsword1659]

@@dazzabrah3208 but you wouldnt know culture if you got your knob stuck in it

[@HenriHattar]

God NO wonder Australians fight hard against the English and Australia was NOT occupied, grab your calulator and do some long division and work it out for the truth!

[@jacquelinevanderkooij4301]

I heard that the aboriginals migrated to Africa.

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

You heard incorrectly, they're still here & are abundant in many places.

[@wesstubbs3472]

The Hudson Rive is a misnomer - it's actually a fiord.

[@IOSALive]

Time Travels, Your creativity is impressive, wanna be friends?

[@JohnnyPaulTutaki]

colonisers not settlers. land was already settled.

[@robroy5352]

tony get it right the prisoners were slaves,,for the empire,,,,,,,not immigrants......

[@ike1660]

Forced migration is still migration. And after completion of their sentence many became regular citizens.
