A Brief History of Australia

In today's video, we will explore a bit of the history of Australia, inhabited by indigenous peoples for over 60,000 years and colonized by Great Britain in 1788, and we will see how it transformed into a prosperous and diverse nation.

"A-ber-jeen"? Is the AI narrator mispronouncing "ab·o·rig·i·ne"?

[Sando]

@10:04 that’s a New Zealand flag not an Australian flag. The Australian flag has a white southern cross. 👍

You missed my favourite bit of federation lore.

An open invitation was extended to New Zealand to join Australia, and technically its still valid.

Aussie here, pronunciation is important if you want us to take this little insight into Australia seriously. It just looks like you skimmed the history and eyeballed it. Even if the narrator is AI it seriously undermines the validity of the information presented. If someone comes here and starts asking questions about the Abor-gene's, they'd get a few raised eyebrows and probably a slap in parts of the country. Had to bail on the video because of this, hope you understand. cheers.

It is absolutely mathematically certain that every single person living in Australia today is descended from a First Nation Australian. The genetic isopoint guarantees that to be true.

*WHY* show the New Zealand 🇳🇿 flag flying a timestamp 9:55 with Advance Australia Fair 🇦🇺 Australia's national anthem playing 🤦🤦🤦 . Ironically, it wouldn't have been a misstep IF at that flag footage you played Better be home soon by band Crowded House ~ who have a mixture of Australian and New Zealand members . By the way - you mispronounced Victoria's capital city, it's pronounced Mel-bin { Melbourne } . ♑️✍️🇳🇴🇦🇺

Why did you display the New Zealand flag? Australia don't have red stars on it's flag. They are white. And Australia has 5 stars as the southern Cross and a large star under the union jack as a symbol for the commonwealth.

Lástima que para vídeos tan interesantes tenga que haber alguien doblando el vídeo que simula ser sunormal 🤡

Extreme cold is right. I was not prepared for an Aussie winter in 2007.

[enory]

[imWillJ]

an even briefer history of Australia : 🦘

[beaustrickland]

That's a new Zealand flag you're waving

[christopherdunstan]

I knew a lot of this but I thought one of the first places explored was south west of western Australia Albany but yeah it's up there

[potter]

You forgot to mention Australia's number one export. Mr. Mel Gibson.

[ashdgee]

Question to the Aussies watching this (out of curiosity and my own learning). I see on some job ads, companies often mention 'we encourage applications from Aboriginal people'. Ive always wondered, is this because of the marginalization they experienced ?

[dominicadrean]

I mentioned if Australia wasn't fully colonized brother British but got partitioned by other European powers like Africa that would be interesting but also be a lot more ethnically diverse

[selfcontrol]

Australia 🇦🇺 is the land of second chances. It's people were sent there to live a different life. Australia 🇦🇺 🪃 people, culture, and children are worth defending. The Aboriginal slash and burn 🔥 farming almost destroyed Australia.

[victorrinus]

So how about the real people Australia I mean aboriginal people ? How they doing to this day ?

[jenniferharrison]

Thanks for this video, it's very comprehensive without being tedious! The footage of our soldiers at war is extraordinary and needs to be widely shared! Aboriginals became equal citizens in 1949, Australia Day! 🙋🇦🇺👍
