Glad y'all back so soon. While you're on the Sunshine Coast, head just inland and drive along the Blackall Range for amazing views of the coast and check out Montville, Maleny, Mapleton, Flaxton, all along the ridge ... uber cool and a unique Aussie experience ... and Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo, it's huge.
If you find something on a beach, and you're unsure what it is, leave it alone. Don't touch it. Don't poke at it. Just avoid it. It might be poisonous/venomous, or it might not be. That's one lesson you don't want to learn the hard way. As for the "Casino" mentioned in the video, that was a Gaming Room, or more commonly referred to as a Pokie Lounge. It's definitely not a Casino.
We will definitely be leaving things along from now on. Definitely don't want to find out the hard way. We have learned in the other comment that it wasn't a casino. Makes sense.
It's pronounced 'br-eye-bee'. You're all doing great. Fished Red Beach many times in my early dating period ie girl, interested in fishing, often secluded beach. Caught all the bread and butter species and sometimes a good feed of sand crabs, that would just wander by. Catching them was another adventure.
The north of Australia is more about the rainforest and going out to the reef for snorkelling and diving on the reefs. I love a tropical holiday there with butterflies and amazing fruits. If you’re looking for surf and sand, best to come further down. I live on Kangaroo Island in South Australia, you guys should definitely come here, late summer is best .. the beaches are sugary white and crystal clear (surfing can be on or off though) . Welcome back to Oz.
Bribie island is basically a retiree fish boating island. All the beaches north on the Sunshine coast are better. Caloundra, Coolum, Point Arkwright (Very nice popular view point), Mooloolaba, Sunshine beach (steps give an amazing view back down all the beaches), Noosa is another part altogether...Lots of options tbh all one after the other along the coastal roads. Enjoy.
You'll be driving north into the tropical wet season (would have been better to do the north in winter, but anyhoo). Factor in extra time for driving in case of flash flooding, and tell local authorities if you're going off the beaten track so they can send help if needed. Better safe than sorry! No surf north of Hervey Bay because of the Great Barrier Reef & you can't swim in open waters from Nov-May because of marine stingers, but there are plenty of reef tours that the kids will love. Cairns and Townsville beaches also have enclosure nets to keep the kids safe from stingers while they paddle in the warm water. You'll also need plenty of bug spray and sunscreen, but you probably already know that 😊
Bells Beach in Victoria is the world's longest running world surf competition. The town Torquay near bells Beach in Victoria is the surfing 🏄 capital of Australia.rip curl .quick silver .started in Torquay. Also more brands.
Okay cool. Yes we want to Make it to Bells Beach, but not sure how far south we will make it! Would love to visit the town that the big brands started in!
Remember from now till winter the north of Australia gets a wee bit wet and windy. Getting stranded is common carry food and water. Your young bloke has come along well
Another great video! I forgot to mention about the Irukandji jellyfish up north. If you haven't heard of them, have a look on the internet about them. In many places up north, it's recommended that you either swim in a stinger enclosure or wear a stinger suit. They are invisible, being transparent and only about 1cm in size, and they have killed people before.
Pretty much all beaches north of Hervey Bay you need to wear a stinger suit to prevent irukanji jellyfish. There have been recorded cases on Fraser Island especially during the hotter months. Crocs at the beach start from about Airlie Beach so there will be signs. Proserpine River is supposedly one of the most populated rivers in Queensland for crocs.
Awesome history!! My Oma came to Brisbane from Indonesia after WW2. Australia was one of the places for refuge so my mom was born there and has dual citizenship… I guess they had post war immigration programs.
Hi guys 👋 I worked on prawn trawlers off the east coast of Queensland for about 8 years from Mooloolaba to north of the Cape closer to Indo and PNG either tigers, kingys, bananas and endeavours plenty of bugs to largest ones from my fingertips to close to my elbow that was at Princess Charlotte Bay north of Cooktown, I think that first one was what we call a sea cucumber ( very small one lol) theres actually a large black market for them and a legal industry up north all goes to asia the islanders normally get the quotas they used to go for a couple of hundred dollars a kilo not sure what they go for these days second one might of been a cuttlefish we use to keep that and squid to sell as bait you only used to get about eight dollars a kilo for that but it all adds up and it's better then chucking it out, I'm not sure if you know but after you process the cuttlefish you get the main calcium like part of its structure out and thats what pet birds eat you also find them washed up on the beach keep an eye out for them. I grew up for the first 7 years of my life in a quaint little coastal town near Rockhampton called Emu Park no surf but beautiful spot when your a kid. Love you guys glad your back!🌞🇺🇲🏄🇭🇲♥️ 🙏 Sorry about the short novel.🙂 🤜🤛
In Victoria...flake is the most popular.flake is gummy shark .no fishy taste .my freind from Wollongong near Sydney said they can't get flake up there but he said it's the best he's had..
The Sunshine Coast will probably be your last chance to surf unless Agnes Waters is firing. The Great Barrier reef tends to protect the coast from big swells and beaches up north are usually more broken up coral pieces rather than fine white sand. Whitehaven Beach is the exception.
Australia has some 30,000 beaches on the mainland (excluding Tasmania) - so I hope you find some great ones! People are friendly and food is excellent. The Sun can really burn if you are not used to it - and any warning signs on well patrolled beaches - stingers, snakes, sharks, crocodiles or dangerous currents are very rare and absolutely NOT DECORATIVE. Heed any warning that says do not swim here and you will be perfectly safe. Near major population centres beaches should be completely safe if you use common sense and are water wise. If you are in a extremely remote beaches check with any locals before you head in the water. In over 60 years I have never encountered anything dangerous - but I know not to swim where there are bull shark or great whites or crocs... Generally I wouldn't pick up any sea creatures - shell fish, pretty little blue ringed octpus in rock pools or swim during sea wasp or uraki season - those things will ruin your day if they don't end you!
The creature with the purple dye is probably a violet sea snail. It has thin, paper-like, purple shell, a snout, and violet or black flesh. They use mucus bubbles to stay afloat on the ocean surface and eat creatures like blue bottles. The dye can be extracted like the dye 'purple' extracted from Murex snails in ancient times. They are born male but develop into a female over time. Trivia: There is a rare condition in humans, found in higher numbers (about 1%) in Salinas in the Dominican Republic, where some have female characteristics until puberty, when they apparently change into males. The cause appears to be a missing enzyme normally responsible for early differentiation, so that they only develop male characteristics when triggered by puberty.
You need to be careful with the beaches in North Queensland. We get the irikanji and the box jellyfish, and stonefish, which are extremely poisonous, so you need to cover your body fully
This is typical of a lot of Australian beaches. Obviously the further you go south, the colder the water will be, but you're here at the right time as it's warming up. I wouldn't be poking things you don't know as they can squirt you with their toxins.
These people.are exactly why "Australia is dangerous" lol, just touch everything and anything lmao. Fatal Cone shells and jellyfish all over QLD, yet the just pick up and touch everything 😂
That was more a riot, than a 'war' and only lasted 2 days. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Brisbane Similar short riots happened later in Sydney 6 / 2 / 43 & Melbourne 1/ 12 / 42. But overall, Aussie and US soldiers had a common enemy and put their differences aside to win the 'real' war, which was with Imperial Japan.

I'm not 100% sure about the rest of Australia but in Queensland it is illegal to remove shells from any beach. The only time you'll need to worry about that is if some do-gooder watches your videos and reports you for doing it. Apparently it's also culturally inappropriate.
@@TheWickmansLife2024 you're welcome. Just don't put it in your videos. Just don't put it in your videos and nobody will ever know. It's not as if they go along the beaches and count every she'll. Also be careful picking up cone shells. Don't let your children touch them because it could end up in a very nasty sting and possibly hospitalisation. I don't want to see that happen to your family. I only said something about it because I wouldn't want to see you end up with a fine for doing what anyone would consider to be a harmless act. Love your videos. Thank you for posting them.
Lovely holiday and great promotion for Australia thank you! Great to see all of you enjoying the beaches and fishing. Stay safe of course! Egad.

Thank you and that’s all great info! That’s basically the plan hit the rainforest and then head to the beaches
You guys have a beautiful family. Spend a day in Montville behind Noosa.
And have a dip in kondalilla falls waterhole
Thank you! Haven't heard of Montville! We will look into it!
You gotta go south for some of the best swimming and surfing...
Yeah we will, we just wanted to see the Daintree

You're better off doing the southern part of Australia during summer and the north during the colder months.
Yeah I'm sure thats more ideal but we wanted to see the Daintree while we are here!

Yes if they're after surfing beaches. NSW, South WA and South VIC along the great Ocean road. QLD beyond the Sunshine coast is flat.

The mountains you were looking at were on Morten Island which makes up the eastern boundary of Morten Bay.
Okay cool thats cool to know! Thank you for the comment!
Moreton 😊
Redbeach was my father's favorite fishing spot, even scattered his ashes there.
Aww thats really cool! Beautiful spot!
Great shot of the new tooth coming thru 👌
Thats awesome you noticed it!
Awesome history!! My Oma came to Brisbane from Indonesia after WW2. Australia was one of the places for refuge so my mom was born there and has dual citizenship… I guess they had post war immigration programs.
Thank you Rochelle! Dang that’s really cool, how wild is that! Did she like Australia?
I’ve been and yes it’s beautiful.
It definitely is!

Thank you for the comment and information on the animals! Thats crazy about the sea cucumbers being sold to Asia we didnt know that!
great vid andpeople
Thank you for the nice words! Glad you enjoyed!
2:50 pretty sure thats a type of sea cucumber
Ok cool! Good to know!
I like beach beautiful
Us too its beautfiul!
Really happy to sed you guys back here. Such a nice family. Please be careful if you go up north.there are all sorts of dangerous animals in the water
Thank you! We will be very careful!
In Victoria...flake is the most popular.flake is gummy shark .no fishy taste .my freind from Wollongong near Sydney said they can't get flake up there but he said it's the best he's had..
That sounds amazing hopefully we can get some!
The Sunshine Coast will probably be your last chance to surf unless Agnes Waters is firing. The Great Barrier reef tends to protect the coast from big swells and beaches up north are usually more broken up coral pieces rather than fine white sand. Whitehaven Beach is the exception.
We plan on doing most of the surfing once we leave the Daintree to head back south! Would love to surf Agnes Waters though!
Oh, and you've probably already heard - I know you'll be disappointed - but because of the Great Barrier Reef, there's no surf up north!!
Plenty of snorkeling and diving to replace board riding.
@@elenawalker3746 I just came back from diving off Cairns!
Hope they realise that! I would have QLD third or fourth on states with the best waves myself. NSW, WA well ahead 😅
Yeah that is a bummer but its all good we just want to see more of the country and the famous Daintree rainforest!
Thats true!
Beaches on the south coast of western Australia are 👍👍
We struggle with the names lol. Thank you! Thats really cool, wish we would of fished it but maybe next time!
Hey guys just so that you know for next time. Bribie is pronounced Brybie. The first i is a long sound.
Okay thank you!
Did the guy with the fishing pole mispronounce Bribie Island which is where you got it from?
No we just struggle with the names.

Head up to magnetic Island and chill out.
Sounds like a cool spot! Haven't heard of it yet!
The further North you go the more important local knowledge becomes, as pretty much everything wants to sting you, bite you or worse
Okay we will make sure we talk to the locals and stay aware!
Bars/Hotels that have slot machines are not called Casinos - in Australia we call them pokie rooms
Gotcha! Makes Sense!
Bribie Island is pronounced as Brybie...........
Okay we will remember that! Thank you!
@@TheWickmansLife2024 bry bee

Probably best not to touch cone shells in general.
Definitely we won’t.
Love y’all vids fuckin oath let’s go 🤙🏼🔥💯

Thank you for the info on the animals! Responding to the trivia, without googling it we don't know the answer...
Just be warned it's stinger season up north.
Okay thank you! We will stay aware!

Ok we will be very careful. Thank you!
It’s a harmless jelly fish
okay cool!
Do not pick up or touch cone snails. They are deadly
Okay we will watch out for them!

I don’t think we touched anything but all good! Thanks for stopping by!
Pokies aren't a casino, they are the scourge of entertainment venues, they destroy lives, and have destroyed most Aussie pubs.
Thats not good hate to hear that! Not big into gambling but figured it was nice for ppl that are!
Saying Bribie wrong ..lol..
Yeah we are finding that out lol
Not at all like America . You hear a bang you don,t need to duck for cover.
Lol very different
When your talking about history back in WW2. Look at when the US fought Australia and lost. It happened up in Queensland. 😂
That was more a riot, than a 'war' and only lasted 2 days. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Brisbane Similar short riots happened later in Sydney 6 / 2 / 43 & Melbourne 1/ 12 / 42.
