Man, the way you devalue our sacrifices during the Great Emu War, I thought you better than this.

We only barely survived, without reinforcements of fresh troops from the East, Adelaide may have fallen to their swift armoured push to the south.

Lest we forget

I have lived in Perth for 67 years and never knew the Swedes were keen on colonising what is now known as Perth. Awesome video.

Hey mate. Australian here. This video is excellent and your coverage of our history is accurate and complete. I would have liked more detail but hey there's only so much you can put into one video. Great effort. Sending love to our American and British cousins during these troubled times.

I’m Australian of mixed European and Indigenous heritage and I think this was very interesting and done with respect. One thing I would like to point out that with some indigenous mobs it’s disrespectful to display images of deceased people and generally a warning is put up denoting that “this material contains images of deceased persons and may be distressing to Aboriginal viewers”. I’m not having a go at you for that as you weren’t to know but I thought I would point it out. Again it’s a great video and as an Aussie I’m proud you decided to make one on our country.

Studied abroad in Australia and it is an amazing country. The people. The culture. The outback. The great barrier reef is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Tim Tams 🤷‍♂️

As an Aussie im so happy that you've made the brilliant doco

[jettmclachlan]

I didn't think we'd be covered at all. Australia is normally left in the gutter for "more interesting places" so thanks :)

[PowerMatrixAnime]

I saw that documentary and realized how much work it took. Struggle is truly the architect of the soul.

As an older Aussie (80+) I did enjoy your doco., but I thought I might add a couple of point that most Australians today are not aware of. Prior to 1949 Australian traveled overseas on a BRITISH passport. The 1788 landing at Botany Bay has nothing to do with Australia day, other than (now ) an unfortunate choice of dates, there was NO Australia day holiday.
There were No Americans on the Kokoda Track and only one detachment of American" Cee Bee's" at Milne Bay. It was these 2 campaigns that stopped Japanese advance south. Had the Japanese taken Port Morseby they would have to invade Australia to control the Torres Strait. And deny the U.S. of access to Darwin Broome was also bombed as was Katherine, in the N.T
Still a bloody good doco.

My parents came to Australia from Italy in 1957/8 after a voyage of 30+ days by water. It's certainly a very different reality now, being able to communicate by video calls, send/receive an email in a moment and although it's a long flight, it's really nothing in comparison. I can't imagine what it would have been to those who first came on sailing ships! It must have been a great psychological jump to travel to somewhere so very far away from everything and everyone you'd known.

Do a history of Syria, that land has been there over 10, 000 years and is one of the oldest inhabited areas to date. It would mean A LOT to plenty of Syrians who take pride in their heritage. It is also a mix of many other nations you have talked about such as Rome which had control over Syria for much of its history.

Cook had also said that on one of his voyages he had met a strange lady, that made him nervous, but she took him in and made him breakfast.

I dream of Australia for long time I don't know why I am just following my instinct and heart.I never been to Australia but after watching this video I feel very emotional and more attached to my dream of moving to Australia, it brought some tears in my eyes. I am from Florida (USA) but I don't think I belong here.

[Janqen]

Australian here, excited to watch this.

[gjh]

You’ve done England, Scotland and Ireland. Time to do Wales! A wonderful country with a rich history.

[frannymeh]

I'm a Torres Strait islander 🖤💙💚. I literally came to watch this because I was hoping that he might mention us

[Mote.]

This is my favorite one so far of the country history. Australia just seems so mysterious and interesting
