Cinemavixion Review

Tony Robinson embarks on an intriguing exploration of Australia's capital, Canberra, challenging the common perception of it as merely a hub for politicians and public servants. This 'Absolute History' episode, 'Tony Robinson's Time Walks,' reveals a surprisingly rich and hidden historical tapestry woven into the fabric of the nation's 'bush capital.' Robinson's signature narrative style promises to uncover layers of history that belie the city's modern administrative facade, suggesting a past as ambitious and carefully constructed as any great European capital. The journey through Canberra's surprising historical depths offers a fresh perspective on a city often overlooked for its cultural and historical significance beyond its governmental role.
