Well done. When I drive in the States my mantra is - Tight rights, loose lefts and keep your passenger in the gutter. In Canada, the only thing that baulked me was when I came to an intersection with a stop sign at each. Hope you continue enjoying our country. Cheers from Central Queensland

My personal vehicle has indicators on the left, and my works vehicle has them on the right. I'm constantly flicking the wrong side when I switch vehicles.

far nth qld is its own lifestyle. even us aussies dont get it. mind you its the best place for holidays. totally different up there.

Supermarkets have ibuprofen. No need to ask permission

wanna try something fun . drive a manual. the gearshift being on the other side truely does the brain in. had a stick shift in hawaii was a real bastard to drive

When i started with G/A in 1995, the reef was in heaps better condition than it is now, its really sad to see how much its deteriorated, it was far more vibrant and coulerful up untill about 25 years ago but its decline started long before then, Climate Change and Chemical run off from the land being among the major culprits, i was involved in Reef tourism business for about 38 years over all so i cant crow much about the effect that tourism has had on the GBR as well, i wish you could have seen it 30 years ago! It woulve amazed you!

Aha i see the Reef King!!! I worked as an engineer with Great Adventures for 16 years, The RK was my favourite! A mate of mine still drives it! Great Vid BTW Greg, yep used to hate those rough days and felt sorry at times for you guys, paying all that money and rough weather! it aint cheap!

Hi again Greg I reckon this is an education for us Aussies too! I remember back in the late 70s Mrs n Me hired a Camaro in California to do the usual tourist spots, i learnt very quickly and the hard way about driving on the other side of the road! 😂 in the middle of LA, from a one way street turned right into a 2 way street headed for the left hand lane😱😱😱 luckily with great presence of mind, speed and precision 😂 my wife leaned over and grabbed the steering wheel and 'Yanked' (pun intended!) us into the correct lane! Phew(and i was only 28 then! 😅) She commented "ive just been waiting for you to make that mistake" Glad someone was on the ball! 😅😅 Enjoy our home town of Cairns Man! 👍🇦🇺❤

Cairns! My Home Town, Enjoy! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Every Australian 3 seconds into the video, "It's Mazda not Maazdaah!"

The Wipers/Indicators thing is essentially at the whims of the manufacturers... in general in Australia.... if it's Korean / Japanese brands it's indicators on the right, if it's German / French it's on the left. Brands like Ford and GM it could be either way, depending on model origin... ie. Ford Mondeo is left, Ford Falcon is right.

Greg, I hope you have recovered from your accident and are now back to work? You are fortunate to have a friend for support.

Hi Greg, I am so glad you landed a job. Congrats. on your persistence. I certainly hope that it is working out for you. i hope you will be able to experience other parts of Australia. I am from the Tweed Valley in NE NSW, just south of the Gold Coast. Good luck mate.

Good luck to you son...

great little video and by the way its mAzda and not marzda

"Living the dream" is sarcasm. Like saying you are over it, like at work

Always remember when driving in a civilised country, like Australia, that the left side of the road is the right side while the right side is the wrong side. Fun fact, the US drove on the right hand side of the vehicle for over 400 years before switching to the wrong side of the car from about 1910 onwards. Right drive cars were still available for domestic use in the US as late as 1920. In the movie "The Great Race", a parody of the actual New York to Paris race in 1908, all the US cars depicted were historicly correct in RHD. You can thank that Jew hating, union bashing, philandering fornicator Henry Ford & his scumbag mates for the change. Blinkers & wipers are generally, exactly the same as in the US. The blinkers are next to the drivers window & the wipers are on the side of the gear shift. See, easy peasy.

My husband said to tell you we call sausage rolls a mystery bag, because you’re not quite sure what’s in them.

9:13 because we are not all thieves…

1:12 ah the pyramid… now that’s how you know you’re home

good presentation. ENJOY YOUR SAY

Just a comment about the widnscreen wipers and indicators. I worked on public transport as a driver and the buses that we drive are either Mercedes or Volvos. The steering column is set up as if the bus was left hand drive. So would go to turn and and would turn on the wipers when first starting the shift. At the end of the shift sometimes driving home would turn on the wipers instead of the indicators most frustrating. LOL

3rd party insurance with your registration does not cover damage to your vehicle or the other vehicle or property, you have to take out a separate comprehensive car insurance policy. The 3rd party only covers injury. It is important to take out comprehensive car insurance otherwise you could be up for thousands in property and car damage in a accident. Both for your car and the other person's car.

Biggest hassle I had was as a pedestrian in Europe. Look the wrong way as stepping onto the road. Learnt real quick. Some of our roads are crap, sticking to speed limit really helps. Lol, not as many guns in the glovebox in Oz. Be careful near warm water in the tropics, crocs are really really good ambush hunters. Enjoy your stay.

Welcome to aus mate .... watch your speed the police treat traffic offences like your a serial killer ... also a vs commodore would suit you alot better

NOICE STYLE MATE SEXY

Budget definitely isnt far from the mark. Average Australian makes about 1500 a week, most spend around 2-3 grand a month. The rest goes to unnecessary sh*t 😅😅

Man really ate a sausage roll without tomato sauce. That's basically criminal. Also, speed limits really are a speed recommendation. It just depends where you live. Queensland and Melbourne are basically fast becoming the California's of Australia. If you sneeze, you'll get a fine for pollution. In Darwin, nobody does the speed limit. Even the police. If you aren't doing 10-15kph over, you're holding up traffic. Much the same in Perth. Sydney, I don't know. Its basically impossible to drive there.

I found Nemo ,, at the aquarium 😂 What's ya number G ? Come check me out at Trinity beach before I go back to Gold Coast .. cool video bro

i think car insurance is a must... CTP people always confused. its not insurance if you hit another car.

Watch You Tubers, One Pack Wanderers videos from lastyear , an Amercian couple who drove around Australia in a Mazda 3

Nothing's wrong with a sausages roll ,you were determined already not to like it

Insurance, third party property cover regardless of the age of the vehicle is a good idea.Too often the uninsured driver is heard of after an accident, how would one would be if your old car nudged something really expensive, without it you might get sued & never ever let someone else use your car as insurance policies recognise only you as the driver.

Just watch that left side Greg, so you don’t swipe parked cars.

You’re doing very well with the Slang. Fitting right in and I hope you’re enjoying Australia 😊

You have to put Tomato Sauce (Dead Horse) on the sausage roll.......

About time you yanks drive on the right side of the road...ya Goofy m8te from Australia

5 months and your accent is sounding really Australian on many words and phrases! I've been living here for years and I just can't get the sound right. Tho 'family and friends in California say I use some weird words or expressions sometimes.

Has anyone noticed his lingo has changed??

I found driving on the right in the States ok. however when driving on my own and there is no other car, I convert to driving on left.

We don’t say Muzda. It’s Mazda, with a hard A. Nissan is Nissen not Niss sun here.

Tip: the middle of the road, or dotted white line, must ALWAYS be on the drivers side. This will help you figure out which side of thermos's to be on.....and always give way to your right.

It’s not a “trunk” - it’s a boot. 😂 Enjoyed your video, very easy to watch

Good to see you out and about and off the crutches. Enjoy your content.

like your aussie footwear. dont hold and wave around your mobile/cell phone when driving as that cost you big dollars in fines. maybe get yourself a swag.. hope your mazda has air con as you need it in summer... will see you around in sunny cairns......

9:15 "it's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll" - AC-DC on a truck, Russell St, Melbourne 23/2/76 - ua-cam.com/video/g-qkY2yj4_A/v-deo.html 11:50 that wonderful orange earth is iron ore - the colour of most of Central and Western Australia.

Not the TRUNK of your car but the BOOT, just joking, hope you are enjoying OZ......

Take care driving in thongs. not illegal but might be deemed 'inappropriate' by police on a slow day. Good practical video

Watching this 3 months later, hope you've made a full recovery.
