I went to Australia for three months, ended up staying 14 years…. 😂
One of the things that make Uluru even cooler is the way in which it's actually something of a land iceberg, with a gigantic 2.5 km of its mass stretching underground - that's about seven times its height above ground! Uluru's ancient mysteries begin with its geology. It was once believed to be a meteorite, but later geologists judged it a monolith - a single solid piece of 700-million-year-old arkrose, a kind of sandstone. When the sandstone contains more than 25% feldspar, it is called arkose or arkosic sandstone. Peace out.
steve is that you
The cassowary can kick your arse, it’s the worlds most dangerous bird!
Nah mate the Magpie is the most dangerous bird.
@@RooBeeOyou’ve never been to Newcastle on a Saturday night
Funniest thing I ever saw was my 6"2" brother running for his life from a cassowary we accidentally came across...... yes, they can kill you..... they are incredibly strong, incredibly territorial....
My friend their are over 50 different species of kangaroos and wallabies. It's sad that tourists just label all kangaroos as the same species. What worries me is that this dude has never actually been to Australia. He's using other people's videos because he has mispronounced all our names. The Cassowary is critically endangered because so much of their lowland rainforest has been cleared. Without Cassowarys much of what's left will be lost because without these ancient birds 150 rainforest plants will not regenerate. 😢
Uluru is the remnants of an ancient mountain range taller than the Himalayas, which has been weathered & eroded over the millennia.
Yes the Cassowary can hurt or even kill you due to its big feet and claws. It's the most dangerous bird in the world. The male is the one who brings up the young and protects them. If they feel threatened or think their young are in danger they will attack and jump and use their large claws to rip you open.
They ain't an aggressive bird but they sure can be if they need to be.
Thank you for your genuine interest in our wonderful Land Down Under 😊 Yep, Australia is a huge country and very ancient. Lots to learn about and explore. Lord Howe Island is the rim of an exctinct volcano. Went there in 2007. Gorgeous place.
BTW, Bondi Beach is pronounced Bond-eye (with a long i sound). Melbourne is pronounced Melb'n. Americans often get these wrong and we Aussies (pronounced Ozzies) have a good laugh about it 😅
My son went to Oz for a year after uni in 2007 and never came home. He met his wife and settled in Sydney. We go to visit them regularly and love it over there. Going for 3 weeks next Christmas and doing the coastal road trip up to the Gold Coast - really looking forward to it.
The road from Sydney to Gold Coast is just the m1 motorway and bypasses nearly every town. A more interesting albeit longer route is to go via New England Highway through Muswellbrook, Tamworth, Armidale etc and when you get to Tenterfield head east to the Gold Coast.
Difference between Kangaroos and Wallabies. Closely related but different species. Main difference is size and habitat (yes, there's even a mid- sized model called the Wallaroo) Kangaroos are large and have long powerful legs for crossing long flat distances, they live in grasslands and plains - open areas with mainly flat terrain. Wallabies are small/medium with short legs. They live in bushlands, hills, forests, mountains. Their legs are built for agility for crossing terrain with many obstacles, they do not often live in grasslands/plains or other flat areas. Kangaroo faces look more canine/camel whereas Wallabies look a little more rodent/forest creature (in my opinion).
Then there is the tree kangaroo - yes a kangaroo that can climb trees! This is not an Australian pulling the visitor's leg, they are real. They are found in the rainforests of north Queensland as well as in Papua New Guinea.
I'm in the UK but spent 3 weeks on the East coast down under in 2018. It's an amazing place if you ever get chance to go. Whitehaven beach in the Whitsundays was hands down the best beach I've ever been to. The sand is so pure and silica rich..they used it to make the glass for the Hubble telescope lenses. Fun fact 😂
Another fun fact...the whole beach is world heritage so if you get caught taking any sand off the beach you can be fined thousands of dollars.
It’s known as “Straddie Sand” after Stradbroke Island which is the sand bar that runs on the coast. It’s also really good for sanding driveways.. I was lucky enough to work in the Whitsundays for 2 years, epic fishing!!
@@dannjp75 that's awesome! Mine was a day trip from a party boat. I believe that sand has many uses... cleaning jewellery etc. I WISH I could have fished it. Only saw a few rays and lemon sharks I think.
@@Manofmanyhobbies86my employer was the president of the GCGFA so he took his boat up and we went out chasing marlin and mahi mahi and GTs and Spanish Mackerel… loads of fun..❤😂
I love your curiosity about things so here are some interesting things for you.
A fun fact about wombats, their faeces is cube shaped. It’s due to the shape of their colon and it possibly evolved so they could mark where they had been without it rolling away.
Uluṟu is just the tip, more of it is underground. It was part of a range and the rest of the range eroded away to form the soil around it. People refer to it as a monolith but geologists call it an inselberg.
A cassowary can do you some serious damage with the long, strong claws on its feet.
The sand in the Whitsundays is not only pure white it has the tiniest grains of any sand found making it the most perfect glass making sand. NASA used it to make lenses for the Hubble telescope.
Sydney and Melbourne between them have nearly 40% of Australia’s population.
2:10 cube-shaped poop creature
"could this thing fight you?" haha, yes. cassowaries can do some serious damage. maybe watch a video about them so you can check out their dinosaur-like claws.
There is an affectionate name for wombats - Combat Wombat. They basically have an armoured rear end (bone plates), they’re chunky & despite their looks they can run about 40km/hr (almost 25 miles). They are heavy, low to the ground & if you (or the wombat) are unlucky enough to hit one with your car, they can roll it. They’re one of my fave animals & an absolute unit ✌🏼
Wombats are very special creatures. Thos of us of a certain age know that at least one of them is muddle-headed.
You are correct Connor. The wombats can go backwards into their burrows using their tough backsides as a burrowing tool. I am Tasmanian- I think you’d love it. It’s a special place.
Hi Connor did you know that Australia is also home to the oldest rainforest in the world and also the oldest living culture ? The one area the video didn’t touch on which I think you would love due to your interest in geology is the Kimberley ranges. PS I forgot to say this was a beautiful video and a great reaction. I’m not usually a fan of American narrated videos of our country but this one passes with flying colours. ❤ 🦘
Very well written Doc, I’ve only seen a few of those places and thought, ‘what am I doing, I live here and people are travelling thousands of miles to see what I watch in videos - mmmm maybe, now I have more time, to see more of Aus.
Oh I was waiting for narrator to mention the snow lol, as many think we don’t have any. I’ve been, not to a huge resort, went ton Marysville before those heartbreaking fires and went up the mountain -,tooo cold for me, . I’ve never been to Adelaide, son moved there, daughter did live there, back home now but both said I’d love it - a beautiful more quiet town country feel than others states. Oh I’m waffling, been doing it non stop for days - zip it time lol 🤐
Oldest cave system as well. Janolan caves....about 15 minutes from Oberon & Edith prime spots only 3.5 hours from Sydney for snow falls in the depths of winter.
Fun fact, Tassie has the cleanest air in the world and is used as a bench mark against other samples taken from aound the world!
Moved to Tassie 9 years ago from the mainland........ and I'm never going back unless it's to visit the family.
I went on a rail inspired trip to Oz a few years ago. Took the Indian Pacific for 2 nights from Perth to Adelaide. It crosses the Nullarbor Plain (means literally No Trees) and has a straight length of track of 328 miles. There are a few towns and the odd settlement beside the railway, not much else! Then the Ghan to Alice Springs 2 days. The locals fly rather than drive or use the train. Cheaper and quicker!
Uluru is indeed the tip of a giant rock - most of which is underground. It was formed when a mountain range the size of the Himalayas was erodeded over millions of years. The remains were washed down intro a depression - the finer materials into one depression and the more coarse materials into another. They were covered up over more millions of years and compressed into rock, which later wore away exposing the harder materials and eroding the softer. The larger remnants are now Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) and the finer-grained materials are now Uluru. IF that doesn't boggle your mind, you haven't been paying attention.
Wallabies and kangaroos are both macropods, but there are differences.
The Daubtree us the oldest rain forest on the planet.
Australia is the oldest continent on the planet.
Hi Connor. About Uluru… Around 500 million years ago, the whole area was covered in sea. Sand and mud fell to the bottom and covered the seabed. The weight of the new seabed turned the plain into rock. The sandy plain became sandstone (Uluru) while the rocky fan became conglomerate rock (Kata Tjuta).
400 million years ago, the sea disappeared. Rocks folded and tilted as the earth’s tectonic plates shifted. Kata Tjuta tilted slightly and Uluru tilted 90 degrees. Over the last 300 million years, the softer rocks eroded away, leaving the spectacular forms of Uluru and Kata Tjuta behind.
Lord Howe is serviced by turbo prop or small jets that don't have the speed of the jets that service NZ. 3 to 3 1/2 hours to NZ and about 2 hours to LH
Lots of Australians watching your great content, keep up the good work, cheers from Melbourne Australia
Yes Connor..driving between Perth and Adelaide you would cross the Nullarbor Plain (null = no, arbor = tree) . It is just as you imagine but more chance of another car coming along than a lot other outback roads. If you come to Werstern Australia, don't pronounce Esperance the way this guy does.. (Esper-ANCE) ..lol Said quickly, should sound more like "esprince". Great video though!!😊
I don't know, maybe we should start pronouncing it Esper-ANCE, sounds fancy. 🤣🤣🤣
I don’t know about a cassowary, however, I have been attacked by an emu when I was laying in bed. It came through the back door and attacked me. This was in the day when you could leave your back door open and not have to worry about anyone coming in..
Uluru is like an iceberg - most of it is underground. How and Why is it there? The formation of Uluru explained in less than 3 minutes: ua-cam.com/video/LhCtQxedOwY/v-deo.html
You don't argue with a cassowary, it could fillet you like a fish with one kick.
Uluru is the second biggest rock in Australia. Mt Augustus in Western Australia is considerably larger but not as picturesque. It is so large it looks like a mountain range . EDIT Our tallest trees are Mountain Ash with one called Centurion, which is over 100 meters tall ( thats over 330ft ).
Yeah Perth is the most isolated city in the world. No other city is as far away to any other city as Perth is to whatever city is closest.
Starting off with Tassie is strange. You're correct about Wombats, they also do square poos.
I recently spent six weeks travelling around the south Island of New Zealand, what surprised me the most was the complete lack of wildlife, there are birds, but that's about it, the only mammals are introduced species from Australia, like Possums and a few Wallabies. I'm from Tasmania,where there are many varied native animals.
New Zealand native Wild life are all birds. They filled every niche. We had moa in about 4 different sizes, the smallest about the size of an ostrich and a hawk that could easily pick up a small child. Thank goodness they went extinct.
Perth to Adelaide, Perth to Darwin via the Kimberley, and Adelaide to Darwin via Alice Springs, all worth doing and all sealed roads do you can do in a standard car or camper. Remote, but enough traffic that you won't be stuck if you break down. You wouldn't wait more than 5min for another traveller during daylight. Binda Cliffs, Nullarbor Plain, Uluru, Coober Pedy, Broome and the Kimberley are all on those routes, as well as Wave Rock & Esperance depending on the E-W route chosen.
Definitely. just don't get sucked into visiting Kakadon't LMAO. There are a couple of gorgeous spots there, but it was nothing like it had been made out to be.
There was a time when visitors could climb Ayer’s Rock (now called Uluru). I did it in 1975, before it was banned.
From the top of the Rock, the surrounding land is a flat as a table in every direction, except for a nearby outcrop of rocks, known as The Olgas (Kata Tjuta). They are made of similar materials to the Rock.
The land seems to be an old seabed, so the big sandstone rocks are the remnants that are still being worn down to sand.
Kangaroos are all over Australia. I live in the northern suburbs of Perth and on a late night Hungry Jacks run, there were 5 or 6 kangaroos feeding on the grass alongside the highway 😊
A shame to miss the north west of Western Australia. The Kimberley region is spectacularly beautiful along with the amazing Ningaloo Reef where you can swim with whale sharks.
Very best wishes to you. 🇦🇺
I travelled the east coast for three months back in the early nineties and it was great fun, I would eat a dinner in a pub every night and must say the meals were fabulous and reasonably priced, I also ate loads of pie's in the daytimes which were also great.
I encountered cassowarys in north Queensland in a national park drive through and felt like getting out of the car but then I saw the signs "Don't feed the cassowarys" and figured it meant the exquisite birds, I then learned that they can disembowel you with those claws lol.
Australia is home to two enormous rocks, Uluṟu in the Northern Territory and Mount Augustus, also known as Burringurrah in Western Australia which is the biggest rock in the World and also considered sacred by the local Wajarri people. The “Twelve Apostles” stacks also had a formation called London Bridge which was where a land bridge had been created from an isthmus of land when the sea eroded the base of the isthmus forming an arch. Many years ago the bridge/arch fell down and people were left standing on top of a disconnected stack and had to be rescued by helicopter, thankfully they were not on top of the arch when it fell into the ocean.
The difference between Uluru and Mount Augustus is that Uluru is a monolith and Mount Augustus is not.
8:49 For places up north, it's coming to the dry season which is the most pleasant time to visit. This applies to places like Darwin, Cairns and the Whitsundays.
Hiya! Loved your commentary which was informed, thoughtful and curious :) An interesting wombat fact, well two facts....that hard plate on their lower back can crush a dingoes/dogs against the roof of their burrow. Wombats also raise their young in pouches (with a difference) that face backwards. This is to prevent branches and debris harming the young as they are so low to the ground. Early settlers were alarmed at seeing the strange two headed animal wandering around!
10:14 '" could this thing fight you " Mate that is quite possibly the most dangerous bird in the world and yes they can be very aggressive and assertive , Im not 100% sure but there may be a recorded human death as the result of an attack . We are currently in Autumn ( Fall ) its starting to get cool , Also worth looking at are some vids on the Kimberly region IMO its one of the most fascinating and breathtaking places we have . Those trees you liked at 13:00 are called gum trees there are many different types but all are part of the eucalyptus family .✌️
It’s quite common to drive between Perth and the east side of Australia. You drive across the Nullarbor Plain. There are roadhouses to get fuel and food, even accomodation, all the way across. Not many bends in the road so can be a bit boring.
You forgot the Golf Course! 😂
@@jenniferharrison8915 Yes, and the side trips to the edge… 👍
Do not approach Cassowary, they can disembowel you in minutes.
Uluru is also what is left of an ancient mountain range. There are remnan remnants of the range, such as the bungle bungle ranges.
A more serious post. I can't help you about the formation of Uluru, but watching the sun set on it is a deeply spiritual event.
Wallabies are smaller and generally grey..the rock wallaby has a distictintively marked face. Also in Western Australia there is Rottbest Island off the coast, home to the quokka..cute critter.
Tasmania also has the pademelon which is a short tailed wallaby, not only can they be found in the bush they are also popular on the menus of most restaurants in Tasmania.
There are several breeds of kangaroo, the eastern Grey usually found in eastern areas, western grey,wallaby and the red kangaroo the red kangaroo is the largest
.
Going to Lord Howe is achieved with a jet-prop which is a lot slower than a jet plane to NZ, which is about 3-4 hrs away.
Lord Howe is a 2-hour trip in a turboprop airliner. New Zealand is 3 hours away by a 737 or A320 airliner. Times are approximate.
I love England but it rains a lot my cousin suspected me to come to Australia they said I'd love it there
I'm Australian but my advice is don't move somewhere for the weather. Be where your loved ones are.
New ceiling is absolutely handsome it's got a lot of green fields beautiful country
It takes 2 hours to get to Lord Howe island from Sydney because they use a small plane not capable of reaching speeds as high as a standard commercial jet. It would probably take an hour to get there if a large commercial jet was used. Sydney to Auckland NZ is 3 hours flight time.
There's a fake Uluru ( Mt Conner ) as you're driving in then there's Uluru ( Ayres Rock) and I think it's 45kms further on is the Olga's ( kata Tjuta ) Uluru and Kata Tjuta are spectacular! And there's all sorts between Perth and Adelaide and in the outback in General , arid lands desert's , tropics in the middle of nowhere and so on
14:11 Hello mate. Mt. Tibrogargan in the glass house mountains is incredible. In certain light and angles, it looks like a big gorilla in deep thought. Fair dinkum incredible. The coast was 80klms out to sea 60,000 years ago😊😊
It's about 1,400 miles from Sydney to Auckland New Zealand
flying to Lord Howe Island takes about 2 hours on a smaller plane (like a Dash 8) compared with 4 hours to New Zealand on a Boeing 747 or 737 - larger jetliners have a greater speed advantage but because Lord Howe Island has a very small and short runway the larger jetliners cannot land there.
Whilst kangaroos are all across the country, there are different breeds (red, eastern grey, etc). Wallabies are similar but they are a different animal. Wallaroo too.
Pademelon!
The MOST sacred thing about ULURU for the indigenous people is that it makes them money!
Kangaroos are everywhere. There’s multiple types of kangaroos and wallaby’s around the country. The biggest kangaroos are in the west
Tasmania is NOT isolated, you should have a peek at the yacht race that takes place every year from Sydney to Hobart. It will make more sense then.
I believe Uluru is formed from ancient River sediment deposits.
The 🤗majority of the rock 👍is under ground!💋💋💋💋💋
In land australia used to be full of water. Uluru is a huge rock
the bit of uluru that you see is the tip of an insanely huge rock
Tasmanian born and bred. I love this place
For a fascinating and detailed account of the origins of Uluru refer to the Oz Geographics channel and the video on Australia's hidden Himalayas.
15:00 big planes go much faster than small planes.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to post a link on my phone. But, if you search youtube for Oz geographics, how uluru was formed. You'll be in for a treat.
Just as an aside. Tasmania was once connected to Antarctica and Nth America! It floated around and then smashed into Victoria.
Lord Howe : 2hr by Prop plane. New Zealand : 2hrs by Jet plane
There are many different species of kangaroos from the largest Red kangaroo, to wallabies to tree kangaroos. Melbourne is the biggest city in Australia now, Sydney has dropped to 2nd. It's 2 hours to Lord howe Island because smaller, slower planes fly there.
It's unfortunate he didn't show all the natural diversity of Tasmania - the rainforests, the huge old trees, the scarred mountains of the West Coast, the fertile farmlands, the history, the many unique islands and harbours! 🤨
I think because he's American, so only talking about places he's actually been to which is fair enough. I reckon you should make a video about beautiful Tassie, sounds like you could make a really interesting one. I'd watch it! 😊✌❤
@@taniaPBear 🤗👍
Ryan again mispronouncing plscenames !!
Connor, regarding you ""petting" the seaturtle... Here in the UK we'd say 'patting it' (because "petting" means something *quite different* !! Lol)
Aso, we separate turtles, terrapins and tortoises...we dont call them all turtles like you Americans!
Turtles: salt water
Terrapins: freshwater
Tortoises: land animals..
Terrapins can flip themselves over if they fall onto their backs.
Tortoises cannot, and would die if not turned onto their feet.
(Not sure if turtles can flip themselves).
Thank you for calling Uluṟu it’s correct name, and not Ayres Rock. This is a great video, but I think it focused too much on the coastline (which don’t get me wrong, is a big part of Australia) but it would have been cool to focus on other things. I was born in Cairns (now live in Melbourne) and one thing I loved about Cairns, was being able to pull your car over on the side of the road, walking a couple of metres into the rainforest and coming across beautiful waterfalls and swimming holes.
Australia is pretty much the same size as the USA…huge!!
The Wallaby is a smaller marsupial. Kangaroos are not all over Australia beaches only certain parts of Australia
Daintree is good mail , the oldest rainforest on the planet.
I grew up 10mins away from the 3 sisters. Its best to go in autumn or beginning of spring . Avoid the questionable tourists.
New Zealand is 3 hours from Sydney or Melbourne
You’re a little confused. They use a much smaller and slower plane to get to lord howe. 737s and larger jets fry to New Zealand hence the flight time discrepancy. I’m a bit let down by this list as he included nothing in south Australia where I’m from. I’m also surprised hr didn’t show rotnest island in WA with the quokkas.
To know more you should check out Australia's time travellers guide, you would love this stuff
Tassie is pretty awesome dude
Uluṟu use to be a mountain bigger than Everest
Can some one tell me why he says cape as keep? Conner you are closer to his accent than me, any idea? You didn't seem to find it surprising.
Ryan's from Utah, apparently so that might have something to do with his accent. He also mispronounced a _lot_ of place-names - all around the world... (including "reld" instead of 'world') 🥺
You should try and do some more Aussie stuff :)
If you are driving a standard type of car, on a quiet country road & a Wombat is on the road.. for god sake try not to hit it, because it will F*** your car up big time. They are tough buggers. In my 66 years living in Australia (from birth) I've known 2 mate's that have totalled their cars by hitting a Wombat at speed & the Wombat just walked off
Tassie was not part of Australia originally and is much older than you think.
ua-cam.com/video/D2-227btFkY/v-deo.htmlsi=VPdpXBUMOOUTvPRW
Other comments will love to disagree with me but if you consider the effects of a receeding global flood you would expect those kinds of rock formations to appear. Forget the religious side of it and ponder just the effects such a scenario would produce. Even Uluru when I googled it the explanation started with "the whole area became covered in sea."
My cousin Australian the torture me to go over there with they said that I'd love it there
Airs Rock, what you see is only the top. The rest of it goes very deep down. 🙃🇦🇺
It's one giant rock two thirds of it is below the surface legend says it fell from the sky
Cassowary can kill you with their claws , the Male's can be aggressive but usually when their looking after their young!
Yes kangaroos are in every corner of Australia but there are different types like grey and red kangaroos and a wallaby is not the same as a roo.
There are three types of grey kangaroos alone. And about 30 different Wallaby species.
It's part of the earth, it is not a rock sitting on the ground.
Australia’s crust is the oldest on earth.
Where did Uluru come from: ua-cam.com/video/L1PIf361b9c/v-deo.htmlsi=gBALiakJmFVLDflc
Australia (as a land mass) is classed as the oldest exposed land in the world! That is one of the reasons why Australia is so flat due to erosion over time.
Australia is the oldest land mass above sea level on earth by millions on millions of years. it is much worn down and wearthered but the gems of mineral worth and even oil, oil is not considred as prolific in Australia, nut nevertheless there has been a recent geo;ogical find in South Australia that postulates an oil field larger than Saudi Arabia has.
3hrs flight time Sidney to new zealand
Take out the US lakes and land mass of Australis is actually larger than the USA/
Fun fact, wombats have square poop!
It’s cuboid.
@@coujo65 It's also shit, but I didn't sat that😀
Population of Oz is 26 million. Population of kangaroos and wallabies 50 million.
I visit Tasmania every year. Its definitely worth it. Avoid xmas
