Fascinating video. Some things I knew some I didn't. Particularly enjoyed the first half. Australian Aboriginals are the world's oldest continuing living culture. I think I also read that geologically, Australia is the world's oldest continent. Something about the crust. Botany bay is in South East Sydney. Near the airport. You will usually fly over it when landing in Sydney. At the end, when he started talking about world war 2 and the Japanese, I thought he was going to start talking about the bombing of Darwin. Was coincidentally watching something about the anniversary of the bombing a few days ago. On the 19th February 1942, the Japanese launched a surprise air raid on Darwin. They weren't trying to invade Australia it was more so to destroy out northern defences, so they could invade Timor. It was largest attack on Australian soil. Something that was kinda buried at the time in the press and the number of casualties and damage played down. My Nans brother was there, said they were told to keep quiet. It wasn't really taught in school or widely known about I think, until about 20 years ago. The movie "Australia" with Hugh Jackman highlighted it in scenes, some years back. And there were about 100 smaller subsequent attacks on Darwin and Sydney etc over the next 18 months months after that. Your channel and videos have given me a renewed interest in our history and desire to learn more. And just and over over all appreciation for our country and people.
