00:02 Australians have been telling stories for a long time.
00:08 Stories define us. They tell us who we are.
00:11 But so much of Australia's history hasn't been told.
00:16 Now, three intrepid time travellers
00:19 embark on a journey through our past to set the record straight.
00:23 I've lost all the sheep! (LAUGHS)
00:25 The Chinese men refused to be slaves.
00:27 It sounds to me like they were fighting for a fair go.
00:29 There's so many people through Sydney that are descendants of Māori.
00:33 (GROANS)
00:34 This is earth-shattering news that no-one is going to cope with.
00:38 There could have been, like, a synagogue there, a bagel shop there.
00:42 It's like history is omitting things. Mm-hm.
00:46 Tate Gallipoli was one of our finest Anzac snipers.
00:51 Really? A Chinese-Australian roo-shooter?
00:54 And how did a New Zealand Australian
00:56 have a big impact on a small thing like equal pay for women?
01:00 A marvellous question. I'm glad I asked.
01:03 And who ever heard about the dandy Jewish bushranger?
01:06 Teddy the Jewboy.
01:08 How can we truly know ourselves as a country
01:10 if we're not telling the whole story?
01:13 Maybe looking at our history from different angles
01:16 can help us answer the big question.
01:18 Australia - who the bloody hell are we?
