The History of Australia
Manage episode 394429781 series 3340882
The Land Down Under as it exists today is very new in the grand scheme of things. During the early days of exploration it really existed only as a myth, the great southern land of legend. Once it was finally "discovered" and I say that because the first Aboriginal peoples had been there oh say roughly 60,000 years at that point, it didn't take long for the British to turn it into another colony, as Britain tended to do with literally anything. It's an extremely fascinating circumstance in which a people were left to live and develop untouched by other cultures for thousands of years, and then only within the last 250 years does a modern civilization step in to kinda ruin it, but then at the same type create a people as cool as the Aussies. How did this happen? Tune in and find out.
