Over six episodes Tony will retrace the steps of the earliest explorers, delve into the harrowing stories of the early days of white settlement, find out how the indigenous Australians responded to their invaders, look at the turning points in Australia’s development and explore the influence of multi-culturalism and two world wars on Australia’s relationship to Britain - the Mother Country. He’ll discover that, in some ways (eg. fox hunting), Australia is more British than Britain. And in others, Australia is worlds apart. Tony will be joined on his journey through time by some of Australia’s foremost historians and writers, including Tim Flannery, Thomas Keneally, Eric Wilmott, and Geoffrey Blainey. There’ll be amazing stories of conflicts, hardship, discovery, as Tony brings fascinating new insights into the impact that so many nations have had on Australian life…a unique perspective on Australian society and history. Tony Robinson travels to Australia to explore the nation's ancient and magical story, revealing its tyrannies, tragedies and triumphs.

This documentry is exactly the same as "Tony Robinson explores Australia" Why this documentary has two different names I don't know. http://www.wtfn.com.au/productions/tony_robinson.html 1. Race To The End Of The World In this episode Tony examines the beginnings of white settlement in Australia. Why did it remained undiscovered by European maritime nations for so many hundreds of years? And how was Captain Cook able to claim it for Britain in 1770? Tony gets an aboriginal perspective of what it was like to witness boatloads of ghost like creatures arriving from over the horizon…the first contact. And he finds a man with an incredible theory about who really got to Australia first after the aborigines. Was it the Dutch? The French? The Chinese? Or perhaps, just perhaps, Egyptians set foot Down Under thousands of years ago. |
