    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.

      As an American I have had since 1980 a deep reverence for your country born of the Australian Broadcasting Service. It was then that American public television showed a miniseries called “Against the Wind” that permanently affected me as a boy. Your story as Australians yearning for Independence was our story as well as colonial Americans. The heroic efforts and persistence of Australians and particularly the Jonathan Garrett family of New South Wales who I understand actually still exist in Aus, brought many of us Americans to a love of a country which many of us in truth will never have the privilege to see in person. 🇺🇸🇬🇸

And if you like roadtrips, you can drive 5 hours to Mt Gambier, travel on to the great ocean road and see the crazy beautiful coast! Stop through the Otways national park and see all the waterfalls and rainforest, Melba Gully, the Redwoods! Travel to Melbourne (endless list of things to do) and travel back to Adelaide through the grampians! Well that's what I'm doing next month lol.

    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.

      Proponents of changing the date always state it to be a modern celebration so it has no meaning, when in actuality it has been celebrated for 150 years more than they were taught.
      Inversely..

      The date of 26 January 1788 marked the proclamation of British sovereignty over the eastern seaboard of Australia (then known as New Holland). Although it was not known as Australia Day until over a century later, records of celebrations on 26 January date back to 1808, with the first official celebration of the formation of New South Wales held in 1818.

    Hi 👋 your channel is very different from what I normally watch here on CZcams, but I’ve always been a history lover and as I was typing “history” in the search bar your channel was one of top 10 shown. This dive deep into Australia’s history was everything I wanted and therefore I decided to subscribe and I turned on the notifications on so I never miss when you upload a new video 👏👏
    I hope you’re having an amazing weekend and please stay healthy and safe 🙏❤️

      The free australian settlers from Britain used this against new European settlers not part of the commonwealth. After it caught on the aborigines used the term towards all new white and English settlers. After time when australia became its own country with its own rules and accents and people and money ETC. Pom was starting to be used only against the brits and it became such a fad within the new australian population. And finally to this day its used against the british as a joke and slang for who they are. Just like saying yanks for the americans. So pom is for the early Australian immigrants 100's of years ago but still for the british. Doesn't have shit to do with the 21st century.
