- ADELAIDE
City of Churches it may be but Adelaide has always been a strange mix of progressive politics and small town parochialism. From the infamous Bodyline series in the battle for the Ashes to the mass hysteria caused by a seer’s prediction of a tidal wave at Glenelg, Adelaide has had its share of drama too.
Hi Tony...you bring history to Life. Good on you Mate.
Thanks mate, these rock!
The line about one of the forefathers of South Australia becoming a Kiwi is pure gold. God Save Tony Robinson.
Love your show Tony ! Great stuff ty ty ty :)
Another good one... I love learning about Australia... I know very little being that I’m on the other side of the world in Eastern Canada!
He really did hit on a lot of things that we people from Adelaide and South Australia identify strongly with. I like his perspective on my home town.
Glad you enjoyed learning about my home city of Adelaide. It’s a lovely city to grow up and study in.
Well Tony, I'm glad you finally got around to showing us some lovely Aussie beach bunnies in this series. It's about time! And I'm pleased to hear your views on the royals. Why any country in the world is still allowing that lot to exist in the 21st century is beyond belief.
One of the few things miss about Oz is that huge, bright blue sky!
My dream is to live in Adelaide
I'm reliving my months of backpacking around Australia watching Tony trek around the county. I had the best sandwich in Adelaide, that wasn't on the menu, and then the lady only charged me $2. That was 1998.
So good to see John Shuman of Redugm again and hear his song. Yes I WAS only 19, Thanks Tony.
Strange. I've never heard anyone refer to the Torrens as "mighty," other than sarcastically.
Neither have I and I’ve lived here all my life.
In fact, the only things any Adelaidean refers to as “Mighty” when discussing anything South Australian is:
The Adelaide Crows & Foodland Supermarkets.
“Foodland - the mighty south Aussies. Yeah!”
If you have too much to drink at the Cricket , you mighty fall in :p
I saw it when they drained it to clean up the garbage - not pretty and definately not mighty
Wow. Adelaide oval before its total renovation. What a blast from the past
Glenelg is one of my favourite palindromes
Welcome to Australia Baldrick!!
Red-gum also had another song called "One more boring night in Adelaide" which is pretty old and refers to when I as a child more then now. Still a great song. Great series of shows by the way
Red Gum must have been stoned on pot that night :p
Don Dunstan actually went on the beach, and commanded the sea not to rise, King Canute style.
Been away 30 years. Still looks like they don't want to have anything to do with anywhere else.
this was made in 2012
Tony
Did you did a time walk in Perth?
No mention of the mighty black stump?!
Thanks a lot Tony for making up my mind, I was confused between Adelaide and Brisbane as my next travel destination, now it is definitely going to be Brisbane.
I don't agree with your view on our relationship with republicanism, you speak as though we are hanging on to 'your' system, and many repiblicans take that view, the fact is, the monarcy belongs to us as much as it does to 'you' ie. Britain, we can't help it if Britain walked away from the commonwealth, but it still underlies our origins and the majority of our current culture especially with regard to our legal system, legislature, parliamentary system (not voting syste thank god but thank colonialists who knew better) our westminster system of government, our language, our economic system broadly, our education system, healthcare system, armed forces (our ranks are identical for most part) is and in some ways more british than Britain today. That is nothing to be ashamed of, as it is nothing to be ashamed of your heritage in any frame, but i wish the arguments could be a little less simplistic on this front.
I was born a British subject, swore an oath of alegiance to QEII and I am proud of it.
Dan I'm thinking it came down to the structure that politicians wanted to choose a head of state.
It could be argued by Monarchists that we were not ready for it. But my belief that Australians don't trust politicians. Jeff Moore
i,ve been to most these places by Bike since 2012 every week or so to discover
much easier than a car along the parks 8:54
1 weekend i had 2 swans under my arms and 6 around me . patted 4 baby swans so soft
Polites, another Greek who made good in Australia!
Yeah, D & P
Polites - the Adelaide Trump!
They were really struggling for content here weren't they
Streets having different names after your cross.. let's say Main street. Isn't unique to Australia. It's like that all over the place in good ol' United States of America
What a sight at the start of the video. The Head church of paedophiles. :(
City of church's, most boring place in the world my child. #peace.
"Mate, we don't have any history here.", just around 60K years worth of homosapien history, but hey, why recognise that.
Even if they had been there that long, which there is no evidence at all it was that long, used to be 40,000 years😂even if the earth was older than 6,000 years...what the hell did they do? Drew dot paintings, sat in the dirt and made spears and boomerangs... basically stuff all!
@@westaussie965 Oh great, religious, ignorant and intolerant. What a great combination. You must be an absolute hoot at parties...
well nobody wrote it down ???
I only knew donald bradman as a cranky old man. He lived on gurrs road and he would yell things as we walked by (we were teenagers). He was a jerk.
My popa made suits for Polites.
I can tell this was shot in 2012. However nothing ever changes in Adelaide. It's pretty but I'm glad I left.
Best city in the country, you'd be surprised how much has changed since snob
@@BerserkerGlen It improved remarkably when she left
Adelaide is aboriginal for ‘boring place’.
you cant stand royalty and what it stands for and denigrate whenever possible - but you were very happy in 2013 to accept a knighthood - mmmm - interesting
