    The colourful birds are Rainbow Lorikeets. They live in my area in their thousands. The pink and grey ones are Galahs. The large white ones are Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos and they’re the biggest population.

    I disagree some of your observations, the guys you met in Mt Druitt, you said one has waited 10 years for Gov't housing so he is living with his Mum, he told you he has all the education etc, I'm guessing this was the guy sitting down, firstly what gives him the right to think the gov't should just supply him housing, there are thousands of people in dire situations who genuinely need gov't housing in front of him, he seems pretty settled, living with his Mum on gov't benefits, able to sit around all day pondering life.
    You're telling me in 10 years an education person can't get a job in Sydney what a load of rubbish, I have never been out of employment for more than two weeks in the last 20 years, if he is educated and doesn't have a good paying job after being here for 10 years it's because he doesn't want a job, these people are typically called professional bludgers, unemployment rate in Sydney is a measly 3.1%, there are plenty of jobs out there if you want them.
    IF you are educated you WILL get a good paying job in Sydney and you can pretty much rent a nice place in most suburbs, IF you are NOT educated you will still get a decent paying job but only if you want a job, The attitude of relying on Gov't benefits and waiting around for the gov't to give you a house is ridiculous, you are never going to get anywhere if that's your mindset, this man needs to wake up and take responsibility for his life, use the gov't assistance to get further education, stop waiting for someone else to save you, get off your bum and change your situation, quit feeling sorry for yourself waiting for the gov't to magically "fix" your life.

    Come to Qld , you can hold koalas here. It’s a NSW law that you can’t hold one … You are right , in the wild they don’t like being picked up. I tried to save a baby one that couldn’t get over a property fence to a tree it was pacing about. I picked it up to put it over the fence so it could get to the gum tree and it was savage ! I got a beach towel from my car and tried again, it raced up the tree when I placed it over the fence . They have massive claws as I’m sure you saw.

      I hadn't heard that!! I live in NSW on Central Coast which is very close to several wildlife parks. You can certainly hold koalas and also have your photo taken. Also there are koalas still in the wild up here and areas like Siding Springs and Coonabarabran where the clearest skies in the southern hemisphere exist and can be viewed at the Southern Observatory through their giant telescopes.

    It is very simple. Australia is a continent because it is a large body of land surrounded by water. It is ALSO a country because it is an independently governed area of land. One doe not negate the other. We just happen to be the only country that is also a continent.

    Ivain great insight onto why sometimes you emphasize the black experience. As an African living in the US I should say i find the emphasis of race in the US very troubling. I have travelled around the world and I travel as a man not as a black man. I have been to China, Korea on a train across the country as the only black person in Poland, England etc all over Africa off course and never been subjected to racism. The most important advice I would give to people concerned about racism is first present yourself as an honorable person , learn the ways and local culture and you will be fine. You cannot go to a country where everyone speaks softly, shout at the top of your lungs and when people look at you crazy scream racism.
    The final thing i will say is have grace. People are curious and thats ok. If a white man or woman goes to an African village, kids will follow them around ouf of curiousity but no hatred. So if we travel to spaces where there may have little interaction or experience with black people we should be patient and not treat any reaction that seems over the top as racism. But if you should face racism , confront it head on unless your life is in danger. Safe travels brother.

    Where do you get the idea that we eat kangaroos "to control the population"?? Kangaroos are mainly made into dog and cat food. Most Australians, apart from Aboriginals who hunt them, do not eat Kangaroo. Or they might try it only occasionally. Only farmers think kangaroos are pests, but they have taken the kangaroos land. The bird is pronounced EEEM-you, not ee-MOO. Glad you had a good time. You're wrong about social class. Some people have a chip on their shoulder. I am poor and was poor in Sydney many years ago. Never felt a class difference. Sydney is one of the most expensive cities in the world. You should go to smaller towns, beaches, mountains next time. We have snow fields, too.

Also Australians by nature, all Aussies, dont like talking about themselves to strangers, and asking people about their personal lives, wages etc, is simply seen as bad manners, we're friendly but not huggers. As I commented to one of your other videos .. which I've enjoyed by the way ..

    Why is it confusing that Australia is both a continent and a country? Those birds are pronounced eem-you, not ee-moo. Thanks for your vlogs, Ivain - great work.
    That's a great observation about classism rather than racism - you're absolutely right.

    Kangaroos are not a pest. That makes them sound like a plague of rats. This isn’t New York. Certain farmers have experienced problems on their properties when there are too many kangaroos. This tells me that man has upset the balance of nature in Australia. Before the British came here, the land was occupied by aboriginals for 60,000 years and they understood how to manage all the natural resources, so that everything was in balance. That balance was disrupted and now the kangaroo population fluctuates wildly between 1.5 million and 45 million! So we have to manage their numbers, but they are not a pest. Google mouse plagues australia and you’ll see actual pests.

    Australia sits on its own continental shelf, (the mainland of Australia and Tasmania, and various islands). So it is a continent.
    The country that occupies the entire continental landmass, is called the Commonwealth of Australia.

    Kangaroos moving backwards is a myth. Everyone says it and it's even taught in schools but it's completely false. It's dangerous for a kangaroo to hop backward (they can snap their tail) but they certainly can. I've literally seen hundreds of them do it.

    Mount Druitt isn’t usually thought of as a tourist destination. Just in case someone’s planning a trip and watching this. Staying in Sydney and didn’t show the beautiful harbour and beaches, botanical gardens and Taronga 🤷‍♀️ you would have seen lots of cockatoos and galahs around Sydney city, but you dont have to travel far outside Sydney City to see Australian animals living their wild life.

      They have exploded to massive unsustainable populations. Kangaroos when in these huge populations developed something similar to mad cow. For this reason national parks and wildlife monitor and issue quotas for extermination for their own protection as a species.

    "No way I would visit that place."
    The British killed the murderers, horse thieves and rapists - in Britain. Only the most genteel thieves, such as pickpockets, were given free passage to some of the colonies that became Australia. At the end of their 'working holiday' in the colonies, they were given farmland or allowed to start businesses.

    Nice rescue but a good wildlife park does not cage birds which are happy and will stay and if not the aviaries are stadium sized.
    BS to no holding koalas must be an insurance issue, they can be nasty.
    Roo and Emoo (lol) don't step back but the koala eats roots and leaves, do you what a root is?
    I'm from Adelaide town/city like everything scaled down, less rat race but same things you see in Sydney, lovely place to visit.

    Ask some aussies how to say things like aussie, and emu. Good that you learned how to say aussie. Sydney is one of the most expensive cities to live in. People get scammed, are not so trusting. May not want to hang out until they know you better. Other places are not quite so classist. Racial discrimination is a social no-no, in some cases illegal. A karen on abus got tracked down by police, big qonsequences.
