A couple of years ago, when No Such Thing as a Fish was touring Australia, I went to see them in Melbourne. During the intermission, as it was wrapping up and I was waiting around to go back in, I was standing next to some random guy. Suddenly, Colin Lane walks up with something hidden under his jacket. He says to the guy “Take these inside, I’ll go get the rest.” He opens his jacket to reveal dozens of small packets of chips which he conspiratorially gives to the other guy, who then stuffs them into his own jacket. Then they both nod and walk off in opposite directions.

The Dutch turned up in North West Australia, figured no one would ever want to live there, and went home. 350 years later, they've been proven correct!

Aborigines have just had awarded a plaque to old structure, at 11,000 years BC. An Eel Smokehouse and Eel ponds SA which also suggests that there was a market for smoked Eel. Traded with Asians primarily but there is a Viking wreck in QLD Australia. Old, old, and Aborigines have Denisovans blood too. Old, old, old!

THANK YOU SANDIE!! For pronouncing Queensland properly! Every other non Aussie on YT runs the “l” like Maryland. It’s Queens-land!

The Portuguese got there before the Dutch.

Having recently been to Nanango, I can't blame people for being pissed all the time. There's nothing to do except go to the pub. Decent community markets though.

Cook did not discover Australia, nor did the Chinese. I'm disappointed that Stephen would recognise Gavin Menzies' book, which is an interesting piece of fiction. In his book 1421, Menzies also states the Chinese discovered America.

At the time of recording this epidsode, it was still widely believed and agreed that the Chinese were the first to discover Australia. We know better now, but you can’t blame Stephen Fry

Maybe to loud mouthed Australians who were trying to make a big name, and lots of money, for themselves in America. Otherwise, not so much.

Cook was the first to map and report the East Cost of Australia. But he wasn’t even the first European to find the East Coast, the French were in Botany Bay when he arrived. He saw them sail away a day latter but those ships were never seen again.

The history of the French in Australia dates from the arrival of the La Perouse expedition at Botany Bay in January 1788, just days AFTER the landing of the First Fleet. La Perouse's ship was never seen again. 12 years after Cook landed in Botany Bay.

As a kiwi, I was hoping the whole video that they meant the 'continent of Australia' and not the country and that a kiwi fact would come up at any point but it didn't so I guess I'm an Aussie for this video.

@@MooKau_ The Constitution gives New Zealand the option to join Australia. Covering clause 6 of the Constitution states New Zealand may be admitted into Australia as a state. New Zealand declined to take up the offer. New Zealand began as a colony administered from/as part of New South Wales, becoming a separate colony in 1841, and a self-governing colony in 1852. NZ declined to join the federation of Australia in 1901 and instead became, like Australia, a Dominion (and so effectively a nation) in 1907.
