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.

    Misleading title. Should've been called Hobart Walk-about or something because I thought the whole thing was going to be about the lost language.
  • @Bildgesmythe
    So many languages have been lost. So glad that linguists have documented some.
  • @UATU.
    I can’t believe he said “Who killed Kenny?” 😆❤️
  • @TheAquaticMandolin
    Got to love the little jab at South Park there who killed Kenny joke in the very beginning of the show.

    The Tasmanians were one of the many peoples who got genocided by the British empire. The slow Nazis.

    Misleading title. The bit about the aboriginal language was only a couple of minutes.
  • @jmj4664
    The Fact is Fanny Cochrane Smith was the last full blood Tasmanian Aborigine who spoke the language. There are plenty of us Tasmanian Aborigines here.
