Hovell was a whinging incompetent who wanted to turn back at the drop of a hat and failed to navigate to the correct destination and then to undeservedly claim the glory for himself only ..Hamilton Hume was the true leader and he deserves full credit...the real story has been passed through our family..my great great grandfather was Henry Angel one of his assigned convicts who after the expedition became a very close friend of Hamilton Hume

Does anybody know what piece of music is played at 1m20sek ?

Thanks for the upload 🙏

Maybe we should bring back gentlemen dueling 😮😊

Thanks for posting, great series ..

Well that race turned out well for the vics didn't it

South Australia still struggling under a mountain of debt

Who would've thought a convict would lie?😂

Bill Peach. That's a blast from the past. Used to love watching his docos

I just discovered this series! Awesome. Must watch.

@Alex, surely by now someone has mentioned that Voyager 2 Jupiter encounter was in 1979, not 1980. Thanks, BBC! They finally got around to us (PWS) at around 44:00. (The contemporary PBS special didn't mention PWS at all.)

Thank you for posting this jewel of a film.👍

Wolverton was a horrible man.

6:52 Ohrr so there from India now not Afganistan pmsl.

28:32 They left there phones in the bush Hmm i didnt no that they had phones back then my child.

I commented on another video that they never mention Adelaide well I was certainly wrong with this series. Really enjoying watching them

No mention of Adelaide which was settled in 1836

Thank you so much for the documentaries on exploration

Many, many thanks for sharing this documentary.

8:12 That might just be Linda Morabito who earned a small place in history seeing the first ET volcano on Io.

Very informative. I followed along on Google Maps, plus some other online maps of the journey. Many thanks.

Thanks, I frequently write about round the world flights, but I wasn't aware of this one!

Wonderful memories, so glad to see this on here. Me and some friends initially just went to sit outside the fence and listen to the concert, group of about 20 other people turned up as well, and we'd just settled in with our picnic rugs when someone noticed that they'd left one of the side gates unmanned with a gap big enough for anyone to squeeze through. What can I say, when an opportunity like that presents itself, it's a bit hard to say no. Still one of the best concerts I've ever been to.

Thank you for uploading this. They don't make documentaries like this anymore.

Where can I find other episodes? I can purchase them from you if needed Thank you for uploading this

Thank you so much!! Was just talking to my husband about this amazing show I watched in primary school!! Good ol Bill Peach!!

massive vertical tail this glider has.

A lot of the extras are from the Forbes Aero Club. They were paid $27 a day I was told.

4:16 Not sure why they thought that, but the Titan IIIE only had a fraction of the thrust the Saturn V had

Because I was brought up and live in QLD, I think this was the Explorers episode which most piqued my interest, back in the day. I'm so glad that someone preserved this series on video tape, and now viewable on RUclips. Grateful to be able to see them again.

What a great series thank you so much for uploading! 🙏

i wish newzealand had docoumentation like this instead of their piss treaty stories.

Thank you for this jewel ! A lot to remember and see !! Could see George Mofatt and Klaus Holighaus, two of my idols by then.. as I was competing in Brazil's National Soaring Championship... and placed 12°...

imagine being a guy named Ace, smoking a pipe and driving a voyager probe stuff was different in the 70s

Fantastic! Quite honestly, this series was a major reason for me becoming a history buff! So grateful that I can watch them again, many more times.

I feel like I've struck gold! The Explorers is one of my all-time favorite documentary series'. For years I have hoped to watch all the episodes again, but (until now) it was very fragmentary, as far as online sources were concerned. I am sincerely grateful that you have posted this on Facebook.🙂

27:34... That statue of Burke and Wills never seems to rest in anyone location for very long it always seems to move to some new location... I'm sure it's been cursed.... To forever find a new location.

Hamilton Hume would be happy to know that there are many important Reminders of him, but many of Hovell....

talented but definitely used bull dust to stir it up

These documentaries are absolute GOLD . Thank you

thanks

I for one would love to see the Murray renamed the Hume River. Why name an Australian river to celebrate an obscure Pommy politician rather than a True Son of Australia.

Awsome

Awsome

Can you still get these cheers

I have been watching "Horizon" since i was a boy. Unfortunatley of recent years it has lost it's cutting edge desire for science. Instead has become a platform of political thought, which i find a deep loss. In many ways the same has happened to the Sky at Night.

Alex did you work on this back in 1984 or work for the ABC.

20:53, this simulation of Voyager 1’s encounter with the Jovian system is actually the rarest of Jim Blinn’s Voyager encounter simulations. This simulation was probably made sometime in 1979 before closest approach, and it features fictional depictions of Io, Ganymede, and Callisto.

You will not see a series like this ever again filmed in 1984 by the ABC for Public Schools teaching the exploration of Australia.
