00:00Good morning everyone, Messiah here, yet again we are still staying in Wangaratta visiting

00:21a couple of family friends. What we are doing today is we are going to a historical town

00:26called Beechworth which is east of Wangaratta. This town is known for its history in the

00:31gold rust and its vintage style buildings. Before I start this video, I would like to

00:35acknowledge the indigenous Minjambutul people, the traditional custodians of this area. We

00:41are going to find a lot of cool stuff in this town and I hope you guys enjoy this video.

00:47As you go along the Great Alpine Road and turn left onto Beechworth-Wangaratta Road,

00:52you will arrive at Beechworth in 22 minutes.

01:12As soon as we reach Beechworth, we pass over this massive gorge called New Town Falls.

01:19Our first stop was Burke Museum, built in 1857 and dedicated to its natural and local

01:36history.

01:38What roles do they have in here? What roles do they have here?

01:44Of course, you are allowed to touch it.

01:50All the dead birds here.

02:01No exit, this door is alarmed. I wonder why?

02:07It's a baby's pot. Timon, do you see here, the baby's bed?

02:15There's a cash register here.

02:22Ooh, they've got jewellery here.

02:28They've got saddles here too.

02:30Ooh, a bicycle.

02:42Ooh, firearms.

02:46There's guns in here.

02:48I don't think you should touch it.

02:56The slate was made in 1927.

03:03They've got stripes and they've got pieces of writing. Ooh, they've got Chinese writing.

03:09Chinese writing.

03:15The PI doesn't work. More firearms.

03:20Some guns to grab.

03:23Ooh, they've got Japanese armour here.

03:29Ooh, they've got bearded runners here.

03:33Sweet things.

03:35Our next stop was trying to find somewhere to eat.

03:47We ended up going to Hotel Nicholas, a luxurious hotel with golden railings and a performance stage.

04:05We ordered mostly chips, but my father ordered curry and I ordered a chicken Kiev.

04:18After our lunch, we went to explore a couple of parks.

04:22We stopped at Beechworth Chinese Gardens next to Lake Sambal.

04:27The 1850s gold rush attracted many people from China who were drawn to seeking their fortune.

04:32This park was built to celebrate and honour the town's rich Chinese heritage.

04:37Using Feng Shui principles, this garden contains a little shelter for the elderly.

04:42The park is also home to the National Museum of China.

04:45After exploring parks, we went back into town and went to a couple of shops.

04:50There's an ice cream shop.

04:54Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.

05:03We first went into a Chinese shop.

05:06This shop is famous for its ice cream.

05:08Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.

05:14We first went into a corner ice cream shop.

05:30We then went into this magnificent candy shop, full of many tasty treats to try.

05:35Unfortunately, it's impossible to talk about the candy shop without mentioning its unfortunate

05:55logo design.

05:56In the cartoon logo, there is a black sprite called a Gollywog.

06:00Gollywogs were dolls which were collectibles in the 20th century and appearing in children's

06:04books in the 1800s, characterized by black skin, white eyes, and red lips.

06:10Since the mid-1980s, this has been a racist symbol, implying offensive and terrible stereotypes

06:15and mocking people of color, which is not good and hurtful.

06:19It has its origins in blackface, another racist stunt where white people put black paint on

06:23their face to depict black people.

06:26It also created the racial slur, wog, which is a terrible way to describe people.

06:30This doll has been seen in a few shops and country towns.

06:33It is an offensive and hurtful racist symbol and should be removed immediately.
