A jar of Vegemite usually lasts several months because you only put a slight thin spread on toast. The great thing about Canberra is there is so much to do like galleries, libraries, museums and they are mostly free. One place to definitely visit is the Australian War Memorial. It is a fantastic museum, along with the reverance they pay to service men and women, a place that honours their service and sacrifice.
As an Australian I eat Vegemite toast, it’s definitely an acquired taste. But I would never eat it like that. That is just way too much Vegemite. You need to spread a nice layer of butter on the toast and a very very thin layer of Vegemite.
oops - thank you for this info!! I totally just assumed you layer it like any other toast spread 😅 if I have the guts to try again I will do it like this next time!!
Welcome to Australia 😊 Yes, most ppl are friendly and will help you adjust to life here. All you have to do is ask. As for Vegemite, the key rule is: lots of butter/margarine and a SMALL amount of Vegemite 😅 Canberra is really cold in winter, as you're probably finding out now! Def need thick coats, scarves and gloves. Summers are hot and dry. I lived there in the 90s. It can feel a bit restrictive at times. Hope you can see more of Australia while you're here. It's pretty huge 😅
thank you so much 🌞 I definitely learned the hard way on the vegemite 😂 yes we are bundling up for sure! can’t wait to explore more, once spring comes! so much to see :)
Ohhh matey. As soon as you make your first Aussie friend, ask them to make you vegemite on toast. They'll be honored and you'll get to try it properly for the first time ❤
The bald eagle 🦅😄 that made me giggle lol! Pretty cool though! And ugh 😩 I’m so sorry about the start to your flight, how awful! As if the whole ordeal wasn’t stressful enough 😖 but I’m glad it turned out ok. But those other mamas when the flight was delayed 🥺💖 so special!
haha but I really thought that was a special moment from the universe bidding us farewell since it’s the national emblem of the US!! but yes those sweet mamas when the flight was delayed meant everything to me!! 💗🥹😭
as a kid of parents that also were relocated abroad for work, please enjoy it to the max!! I was older than your son, we lived abroad from when I was 3 until 6 but I still have so many incredible memories 🩷 moving is really hard as a young child (my sister and I were definitely not happy when it was time to move back lol) but my family and I always look back at that time with so much happiness and nostalgia 🩷 I'm so excited for your new life chapter!
omg aw thank you for watching and sharing your wonderful story & experience!! where did you live abroad? I bet it was a big transition for you when moving back! nonetheless I am so happy to hear you look back on the time so fondly. 🌞 we are very excited to explore and enjoy this chapter full of adventure 🦘
@@morganunraveled absolutely!! we moved from Venezuela to England. I don't think they ever expected to have the chance to go to England to begin with, so they took all the pictures and took us to as many historical landmarks as they could. It definitely was a life forming experience for all of us regardless, and I'm sure Australia will be the same for you! 😍 Also apparently I did have a British accent back then, but it has since gone away... So there's that 😆
@AgithaCreates what a fun country to get to experience, even as a kid! so funny that you had a British accent! do you plan to ever go back as an adult? We are hoping to explore both in and outside of Canberra (it is the capital, where he is working & we are living) lots while we’re here, hoping to hit all the states as well as NZ, if we can! 🇦🇺
@@morganunraveled ooohhh that sounds so incredible!!! it looks like you guys are in a great spot, you get to experience all of the beauties of the capital plus weekend-getaway driving distance from Sydney and short flight distance from the other big cities! I can only imagine all of the wonderful sights you'll see 🤩 also, when you were talking about seeing kangaroos crossing the street, I wonder if it'd feel to Australians like seeing a deer? haha! Might be interesting too to find out if BirdNET or eBird can help you identify the birds that are around you When I was 21 I had the chance to go again and it was yet another life changing experience, I guess that's probably just a part of traveling to places so far away from home! ♥
Lol oh lord. As a texan now living in Melbourne, (i was calling it mel-born" not mel-ben. it's "Can-bra", once you get the pronunciation, you'll be on your way to turning into an aussie. Trust me lol, they'll get offended if you say it wrong 😂. Also, just use google or an app for the metric system until you get used to it. Then you should have simply asked or googled how to eat vegemite lol, heaps of butter and then only a tiny bit of vegemit over the melted butter on the toast. To all the aussies watching this video, i'm so sorry! 😂
well at least we’re in this together :) no one has been offended yet, even when I do correct myself, but I’ve been trying to catch myself and say it correctly! funnily enough, a lot of the cities in Virginia where I moved from, which were named after English towns, Norfolk, Suffolk, etc were often ‘mispronounced’ even by locals! 😂 I feel like this is a problem no matter where you are in the world but I’m working on learning the correct pronunciations!
Welcome to Australia! I watched your full video - you have a lovely delivery and I think your personality really shines through. Others have already set you straight re Vegemite - lots of butter and just smear us what you want. Other tips - Canberra gets really cold, so be ready for that. And when you get a chance head down to the coast - Batemans Bay and further south. It’s beautiful. Hope you have a wonderful adventure while you are here.
Thats an ambitious amount of vegemite, needs plenty of butter and only grazing of the black stuff. Have an amazing time in Canberra, an amazing place for families
Just a drive early morning road trip just outside off town any bush parks golf course you’ll see kangaroos everywhere welcome to Australia as you said about the lady on the plane there’s always one in the crowd don’t matter where you go
yes! we were sad that we kept seeing kangaroos that had been hit by cars but had yet to see a live one. :( we did drives like that on a few weekend afternoons hoping to enjoy some views and maybe spot them, but we finally saw a kangaroo this past weekend just in our way home from the shops!🦘
Gday! Welcome to Aus! Just to let you know.... that amount of Vegemite is for professional Vegemiters! Try using like 1% of that and 10x more butter! If you really want to party, add cream cheese, slice tomatoes and some avocados to it!
Welcome, Vegemite is an aquired taste your son will learn to love it 🤣. Canberra !! couldn't have found a colder place to go to, just as well you're into knitting. . Enjoy your journey.
Depending what part of Canberra you’re in you shouldn’t have to wait too long to see a kangaroo. Enjoy the autumn colours and know that Canberra gets a lot colder than most capital cities in Australia and the houses aren’t well designed for it. For your little one there are so many parks and playgrounds in Canberra in every suburb. Congrats on making the move and welcome to Oz
Thank you for the warm welcome! yes we did see a kangaroo - was so cute to see it hopping along! 🦘 I did just recently learn I was saying Canberra wrong, thank you for the tip! 😅
@@morganunraveled apart from all the noisy and colourful birds you’re likely to see wombats, kangaroos and the occasional echidna. I recommend a visit to the National Arboretum if you haven’t visited yet as you’ll get some good views and there’s a fun playground.
OMG the list of things you do not know. Talk to the Australians in your area, ask them how, what, where, when and why. Do not try to do it on your own. We will help you, you are not on your own. Just ask.
now that I have met people I definitely ask questions! :) This move happened very fast and you'll have to give me some grace, I just moved across the globe (with a toddler, no less) and am doing my best to adjust to a new country and way of life!

May it be everything you hope for and more. Enjoy every moment!
I'm moving to Australia at the end of year too.
thank you for watching and the well wishes! 🌞 that’s amazing - do you know where you’ll be located? 🇦🇺
@@morganunraveled In Melbourne, we're waiting for our permanent residency to be finalized🤞
Best way to eat Vegemite is with butter. put butter on first and then the Vegemite and it mixes with the butter and OMG I love it xx
I will definitely have to try it again the right way!

By the way Canberra is pronounced with two syllables closer to Can-bra 😊
I lived in Canberra for fifty years so if you want any recommendations just ask.

The most important question I can think of for your Q&A: do you have access to Bluey season 4 there ? 👀🤣😂
Welcome to Australia cheers from Sydney
thank you!! 🌞
That's about 100 times too much Vegemite for a slice of bread. Should just get a hint of umami as opposed to it being the only thing you taste.
definitely learned that the hard way! 😅 thank you for watching and for your insight :)
With Vegemite only a light smear and plenty of butter
