The Bloody Batavia Shipwreck Massacre | Tony Robinson's Time Walks | Absolute History

Tony Robinson brings his inquisitive storytelling approach to Australia's diverse suburbs and towns. His mission is to uncover the hidden history that lies behind, below, and above the places, we walk every day. In each episode, we find a different postcode laden with stories. They're all established walks that tourists and locals frequently do, but Tony digs deeper to draw out the drama of the past. He'll roam through the streets and lane-ways; divulging the tales of crimes, recounting acts of bravery, notable characters, and showdowns that have shaped the area.

    De Batavia- replica vond ik er mooi uit zien toen ik de Batavia werf in de Flevopolder bezocht. De presentatie op deze video vind ik echt leuk gedaan.

    I did appreciate the sound fxs of the battle reenactment. Especially the rope sound at the end. Somebody had to put those into the film. Just brilliant.

    Concerning Tony's intro how rough and tough that land was and how nobody in their right mind would come there out of their free will: it might have been so in the previous centuries from the convicts' perspective. Nowadays I am saving money to travel to Australia when the pandemy is over, and - considering I'm not a millionaire and can't fly all over the continent and stay for a full month or so - I'd go RIGHT THERE (or somewhere in the vicinity) because I don't care about the whole man-made stuff and crowds of people in big cities. I want to see the whales and then I could just as well die.
