    Australia was settled as a colonial outpost in order to ship goods back to England, based on convict labour and harsh discipline. I don't think the past should be romanticized as some kind of paradise. It was anything but.

    • @lukesgippslandhistory
      @lukesgippslandhistory Před 6 dny

      Thank you for your feedback. Apart from the music, in which way do you think the video was romanticised? They were certainly hard and exploitative times and it is important that we understand how events of the past evolved into what we have and see today. Your further input may help with the production of similar slideshows in the future.
