    Thoroughly enjoyed this! Interestingly, at 2:38, a woman introduced her ancestor, Lydia Monroe, sentenced to hang for stealing 10 yards of printed cotton... My ancestor, Anne Forbes, was Lydia Monroe's co-offender.. both caught, sentenced to death, then changed to 7 years transportation. Anne Forbes ended up marrying second fleet convict, Thomas Huxley. Family legend says Thomas Huxley was given his freedom and a parcel of land after serving his time. The local natives, apparently, couldn't get their tongues around the word Huxley, so called him Tom Ugly... to this day we have Tom Ugly's point (and subsequently, bridge, which came a lot later). Anne Forbes (Anne Huxley) was the second to last original First Fleet convict to die, in 1851. What a story she would be able to tell!

    This is a fascinating series. Wonderful story about Australia and how some convicts, rich government bastards, and very entrepreneurial individuals cobbled together fortunes and a country. I loved it and will be scouring for more. Great job blended with just enough humor so the storytelling makes me smile.🤣🤣

      You are probably right cause they did start to rape the aboriginal women due to the fact most of them were men. That's why they ended up bringing a ship out from England with just women on board.

    44 seconds in & i'm rolling with laughter! Australia was a Penal Colony, people we'ren't "migrating" there, they were sentenced and sent there. It can't be the world's biggest migration if people were not going of their own free will lmao! Given the choice, do you think the people who were sent there would've preferred to stay in the world that they knew? I think that they would.

      @@tomvanaarle2622 you are correct but in Australia weve distorted the meaning...a "migrant" would generally be considered a free settler. Through all the colonial history you wont find convicts referred to a migrants because they werent really trying to migrate, theoretically they were to return home at the end of their sentence, but few did because they coukdnt pay their way, or overwhelmingly they preferred not to return to the poxy hole they came out of.

      Not sure about that one, but he did say Australia's dams would never fill again due to climate change. We are currently in an extended wet period that may last up to 30 years or more. He probably means well, but is also a bit of a sensationalist tosser. Australia is and always will be a place of extreme boom bust scenarios.

    Yes, we must always emphasise that the land in Australia was already occupied. And what about the rest of the world???

And don't tell me, the CCP have discovered an ancient map that now justifies them increasing the 9 dash line to the southern tip of Tasmania.
