The entire history of Australia from the earliest humans until somewhere after World War II where I lost interest.

One of my grandfathers died in the camps during the Emu War. I've never forgiven the Emus.

My father fought in the Emu wars. I asked him about it many times but he refused to speak about it. I believe he was a secret agent for the Koalas and fought behind the Emu's frontlines. After he passed away I came across his war service record in his papers. Apparently he was captured at one stage and forced to eat hallucinogenic gum leaves to give up his contacts. He never completely recovered from the experience and would spend days sometimes sitting in a Gumtree chewing on the leaves.

When a YouTube video teaches you more about the first Dutch settlers and the origins of the Aboriginal peoples than your own school...

[reecemartin]

the dutch came to West Australia realised that the sand wasn't good to grow their marijuana in so they left.

As an Aussie, this is one of the best videos on Australian history, especially the indigenous peoples. Well done.

Mate I'm not gonna lie, I was off me chops for most of this so I can't remember most it.

My granddad never talked about the Emu Wars, but then again he was an emu.

Fun Fact: Australia has had no prime ministers assassinated, but we straight up lost one along a river bank.

My grandfather, one of the untold volunteers from Memerstan, had died in the emu war, in a last stand with the emus against the humans at the battle of Alice Springs. He was a decorated lieutenant, and led the volunteers at the last stand. He died after he was captured and tortured.

I like to point out that the state of South Australia was started as a free colony, where all the other now state's were started as a penal colony. That mean no convict's where shipped to South Australia.

As an Aussie, I really enjoyed the Great Emu War jokes

I’m impressed with the accuracy of this video.
I’m Extremely impressed with correct pronunciation of “emu”. The emu wars had a great impact on our national character. To this day, it’s not something that is often openly discussed. I still remember overhearing the adults talk about it as a young child. It’s always sets a sober tone. Thank you for discussing with respect.

21:10 YOURE TALKING ABOUT THE EMU WAR ARENT YOU

[PyroManiac]

The Great Emu War was a great tragedy. #NeverForget.

As a dutch guy i laughed so hard when you played the National anthem

I'd love to hear more of early aboriginal history, when I went through school they didn't teach us much about it, we learnt mostly about how poorly they were treated and massacres etc. They were wiped out in Tasmania.

I love this video. As an American we aren't taught anything about Australian history in our school system but the more I learn about it the more fascinated I am.
