Tony Robinson's Time Walks | S1E1 | Fremantle

[@Jimmy-p9n]

Glad Fremantle residents fought for there buildings. Love walking around looking at the architecture

[@thoughtprocesscnd]

Tony Robinson is a gentleman and a scholar. Apologies, Sir Tony. As someone from London Canada, I've grown up under British Empire influence. I truly appreciate Tony's care to historical fact, he brings a spark to everything he does. For an example, I've learnt more about the history of my city from him then from local libraries. I mean everything here is named for one Lord or another. Tony, If you read this. Thank you, - Brian.

[@robertmcgovern8850]

A magnificent presenter. I've loved every project he's hosted.

Thank you Tony for all the history you've brought to a contemporary audience. I just wish that Australians would make the kind of documentaries that come from the UK. I'm just frustrated that I can't guy a bluray set of the entire Time Team collection.

[@kiniburk]

Speaking as a Yank I love the history Tony presents in parts of the world I would like to visit.

[@historical.isolde7918]

Sorry Tony, Freo isn't the only place in WA with a city square (13:03). Kalgoorlie, about 600km east of Perth, has St Barbara's Square smack in the middle of the main street. If any big outdoors event, ceremony or fundraiser happens, it will happen there. Not to mentioned Forrest Place in the Perth CBD. And I am sure many minor country towns across WA do as well.

[@jamiebaker8017]

Horacio doing the street art.. I was working there when he started it, so glad to see him again.. he is so talented and such a lovely man

[@normanmacfarlane6724]

I met Tony when he was in Fremantle 😂❤

[@redhammer9910]

Very enjoyable, beautifully restored city. Thank you.

[@miriammoriarty8588]

Great clip. Used to work at Ginos back in the 90s, loved it. Nice to see Horatio he's one of a kind. The Town Square is undergoing a major redevelopment and will soon be a major commercial and residential hub. Visited the Batavia wreck several times growing up but had no idea of the dark brutal history. Yikes!

[@Petreon360]

Hey Tony, I'm not sure when this was filmed but the Museum you visited isn't the actual Maritime Museum, it is just called Shipwreck Galleries. The Maritime Museum is around 300 meters towards the Harbour at Victoria Qauy.

[@zillahwells4063]

Starting to think Tony REALLY loves Australia : D

[@CitizenCraftymethod]

Some great stories in Albany, pity you guys didn't go there?

[@Elixer296]

I only recently found out Albany was settled first, a lot of history I missed

[@c1osmo]

I was impressed with the first nations cells. A great gallery as well

[@chriskelly3481]

Love you Tony. 😀❤👍

[@pavementpounder7502]

Been to Freo hundreds of times and never noticed that fountain. Learn something every day.

[@RodSwift]

Son of Freo Lumper. remember Lumper family picnic day organised by the wharfies. Tony should head back to Freo and did some more of the hidden delights in the West end :)

[@susansharkey2372]

Me too!

[@chloeyang4585]

Love this series!!

[@timcollins1131]

Just after the Americas cup euphoria i was on my way back to Oz from Singapore with the boss from the USA who made the unkind remark "I have never had an Australian wine worth drinking" we stopped in Freo and went to an Italian restaurant and chose they best they had on the menu, he felt vindicated. Fortunately our next stop was Melbourne and "The Willows" on St Kilda road and a full page of Grange. With he and my GF we drank three bottles. The look on his face when he copped the bill was "memorable" The vino in "bubbleaway" got better too.

[@bereftofbelief2506]

what a clown

[@TheKaiTetley]

Bless you Mr Robinson.

[@elecchal444]

Why are some videos not available in Australia? E.g. Ballarat?

[@simonscott1121]

Freo has all changed again ;)

[@rolandoruiz7659]

What about the whale tunnel? Or the old abattoir location nearby?

[@westaussie965]

Those things are best forgotten. Horrific as a child going past the slaughter yards going to Freo🤮🥲

[@nathanlane7371]

I thought that was Simon Pegg in the museum

[@aujay]

18:26 Anyone know the name of the artist ?

[@roslyndrayton6716]

Horatio Birdbath; Yes! that is his name, he is very iconic to Fremantle. I have had the previlege of having a few conversations with him over the years.

[@nikolayevelmo1811]

tony why you not come over for coffee to my apartment just opposite of the roundhouse haha

[@deniseorvik9504]

Love Tony

[@pauliejay4161]

Come on Tony, you know the difference between "Premier" and "premiere" don't you...?

[@CaitlinBloodyMary]

I just don't understand why Tony Robinson would come all the way to WA and not do one on Perth? Fremantle is a flipping great little town, but I don't get the logic of skipping the actual capital city of the state.

[@mj.l]

there's no history left in perth - it's all been sold off to developers and bulldozed. also - it's a dump.

[@ClipSalad]

Nice to see Fremantle represented, one of my favourite suburbs of Perth.

[@jayehum5019]

Not a suburb of that place up the river!!!😆

[@jayehum5019]

Love my city Fremantle. You can have Perth, sincet it's been ruined by big business and is now completely soulless.

[@Darkeyedgem]

As an Indigenous woman born in Perth, it's disappointing you missed an opportunity to speak with Noongar Elders about Walyalup - Fremantle. Our bloodlines pre-date colonisation and lived on these lands in harmony with a rich and varied nature for thousands of years.

[@FranklinDesignsAU]

Understand your ancestors lived on this land, would never take that from you. Just a question - what did your ancestors do to ‘better’ or develop the land? If that wasn’t what their goals or aims, why do First Nations people have a chip on their shoulder towards people (of all ethnicities) because they developed land, made it prosper. It makes no sense to me. You didn’t own the land…. And now the only land you want is worth money… why not claim land in the middle of butt phuck no where? It’s all about easy money imo.

[@advanceaustralia9026]

Harmony? lol that’s a joke right? First Nations are in Nth America. In Australia there were only small family groups of hunter gatherers with no concept of ownership of land.

As a Freo resident I LIKE! Dont know where some of Tony’s info came from. Lumpers? Theyre called Wharfies!

[@easyrider7021]

Lumpers is correct.

[@Ross1il]

Please define lumpers vs wharfies!

[@RodSwift]

@@Ross1il my dad was the son of a Freo Lumper, who became a WWF member. The annual picnic was called the Lumpers Picnic. Lumpers absorbed, the split,then remerged with the WWF (now MUA) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fremantle_Lumpers_Union

[@RodSwift]

@@Ross1il Lumpers are definitely dock workers who manually unload and load ships :). Love it or lump it. Lumpers also were in coal mines, lumping it. Any manual loading and unloading is lumping.:)

[@Ross1il]

@@RodSwift thanks for the explanation. I don't know who wharfies are now. Maybe lumpers and others who work on the wharf? At least I know who dockers are. Fremantle footballers!

We should have stopped & listened to the aboriginal people, they knew how to make this country productive & a beautiful place to live in, but noooo the Brits turned up & stopped them, forced them yo live like they were in England & now we have so many problems. Crazy way to turn up on someone's front doorstep, push them out of the way & treat them like animals.
