🌼классная подружка😋👍🔥🔥🔥Она очень харизматична,чувственна,непосредственна,красивая,душевная, искренняя и эмоциональна.Ее просто невозможно не полюбить😇🙏 Вы здорово гармонируете.
As an ex-patriot Aussie living in Canada for the majority of my life, I enjoyed watching your current videos and your perception of Oz. I have been following your site for over a year and have learned much about the people of your country and how similar peoples of the world are. If only politicians would recognize the similarities of people and not the differences we could all live in peace.
Hi Eli. Johan (Frisian diaspora) from the US here. I discovered your videos a couple of days ago I appreciate you sharing your culture with us and admire the respect you have for your country. Not to mention, circumspect view of the conflict between our respective nations. You are doing a good work. I hope my daughter grows up to be like you. God bless and keep you.
The Bunya Mountauns were named after the Bunya Pines which were featured in your video. They are not true pines, they are Araucarias (Araucaria bidwillii) around new year time they drop large "pinecones" from the top of the tree which can weigh up to 5kg . They have edable nuts inside which the Aboriginals used to travel from many miles around to feast on.
I love this video because it reminds me of my first trip to India. Some how I went off the tourist track and ended up in a lovely himalayan town called Chamba. Suddenly I was alone the only tourist around but as luck would have it I meet some Indians my age and was adopted by their group which reminded me very much of my own high school peer group. Doors were opened and I was invited to join in, I was no longer treated like tourist but a local. When I go back, which is rare they still treat me as an old freind. Of course I fell in love with the place. When I last went back I took a smart phone and was going to make a video but my was going to be different. I knew the history, I knew the people, I was always with old freinds or new often in their houses with their family, I took hour long walks to my favour hiding place commenting on things I came across but I lost my phone when I got back. I shouldn't critise other travel voogers but most only show the surface of things they rarely go deeper than traveling as a tourist. I think this video came closest to that ideal and I am proud that Australians treated you like a local not a tourist.
i an Australian have never been to this part of Australia before and i found it just as fascinating and interesting as you did. You've made me want to explore more of Australia instead of going overseas all the time
Please remember a lot of these watermelons are rejected by coles and Woolworths because of quality controls. It’s all fair to say that this food should go towards feeding the world but the cost of moving watermelons would be enormous. Furthermore there’s only so much watermelon a town that produces watermelons can eat. If not used for charitable fund raising events like this, it ends up in landfill.
@@konstantinseltsov5403 quality control isn't just the quality of the produce itself, its a range of different factors. For instance, watermelon size... if a watermelon is too small it the food supplier wont buy it because no one is going to buy it from them. If it is too big the food supplier wont buy it because also no one will buy it from them ( partly because its price per kilo and no one wants to drag a massive watermelon home from the grocery). Companies put these controls in place to maximise profits. Its 'good business' as a grower your limited to what the big 4 will actually purchase from you to turn a profit. So what do you do with these excesses undesirables? BIOGAS? there aren't any processing plantations in these rural towns to convert excessive waste into something like this. These are perishable items, it costs huge amounts of money to transfer these to places that does and is probably not cost beneficial nor burning the fuel to create more fuel. Fertilizers? yes its a grow town of course they use it for fertilizers. Most people would have their own worm composter for their own veggie gardens. An event that brings people from the city to spend money in the town which benefits the economy of that town. sounds even better. The small price you pay to get your face painted or the cost of a watermelon slushy will go to towards income for people of that town or stuff like sporting equipment for the local school which in turn has its own benefits with child development.
Wonderful video, as always. This time It is not freezing Siberia, but land down under. For me, this was an introduction to Australia. And a wonderful introduction, too. Thank you, Eli. From Karachi, Pakistan.
Bec is just a natural beauty! She is so natural of attracting herself to the camera and maintain such a normal appearance. She makes me want to move to Australia lol
There's so many small towns in Australia. They are all over the the country. Most of Australia is rural and has some kind of industry that the local people work in - mining, forestry, farming, fishing, natural gas etc. But many people grow up near the beach too (I grew up like 5 minutes from the beach). Some of the small towns are so peaceful with very little crime. You are so lucky to go with a local! Not just being a tourist in Sydney or Melbourne where you don't actually see what Australia is actually like. Many people come to Australia and only go to Sydney or Melbourne, Perth etc. So they actually don't even see what the average Australian lives like.
It seems like such a wonderful place because it IS more local. I think it would be more of a "vaction" this way. Big cities are great but just dont have the charm.
@@marcgaskett In the cities, or the suburbs? In any big country, many live in the suburbs out of necessity because that's where the jobs are, but if they could stay in the country to earn a living, they would.
Truly enjoyed the Chinchilla Town People´s festivities. People participate, come out to salute the folks, enjoy themselves in fair games without a winner attitude, and most of all, respect themselves as a community. Throughout the worls there are towns and villages that have a similar collective attitude. Plain and simple distraction. Honestly, my dear Eli, I enjoy your adventures and antics, noting your down-to-earth approach to all that comes your way. Presently, you´re an earthbound Galactic voyager. Let´s enjoy and be grateful for the experiences. Ciao!
It's sooooo cute that you referred to it as her "village" - we really don't use the word village here at all (even tiny towns are still called towns). To us, the word village really conjours up small isolated old settlements in Europe or Asia. I have no idea why we don't use the term. I guess we could, it's just that we don't. So it's adorable when non Aussies come visit us and call our little towns villages, you're so cute Eli!
Was in Australia 1970s. American author Hunter S. Thompson spoke at Canberra University. Opening statement "It is great to be in a country settled by convicts, not run by them"; so much has changed since then. Rip a tune Boris.
South Australia and the Northern Territory (from the Southern Ocean to the Tropics) was a free colony and never settled by convicts. These two areas make up about 1/3 of Australia. Of course, most colonists were free people no matter which state they settled. Australia received British convicts after the American War of Independence (1776..) put an end to convicts being sent to the eastern American states. If you came to SA and the NT (from 1836 on) you had to have means (money) which meant that the colonists were better educated and used to owning land in many cases. I hope Ezza reaches Adelaide and the country towns of SA, she'll spot some differences.
As an Aussie, i think you've done an awesome job with these videos. I have friends and work colleagues who live in the area around Dalby (Chinchilla, Miles, Wandoan, etc). Great to see this part of the country on display for the world.
@@rogink supposedly, the town is called Chinchilla because someone took the Australian Aboriginal word for the place and converted it into something that sounded similar in English.
G'day Eli, I'm so glad you enjoyed your time here in Australia. Ive watched your videos as you travelled around the world, but I can honestly say that you seemed genuinely happy to call Australia home. Hope you come back for another visit soon. We miss you already! 🐨💕🍻🤗🍉🍉🍉
Another exciting and wonderful video by the most beautiful vlogger in the world. What a wonderful and cheerful country you are visiting. Can't wait for the next video
I'm so happy that you experienced places beyond the big cities. You are such a good sport and keen to try it all which makes for entertaining video. Did Bec explain that red headed people in Australia are usually nick-named "Blue", and they are called "Rangas". These are terms of endearment and definitely not offensive. Locals are very relaxed in the Aussi bush and if you encounter any snakes they are just as anxious to get away as you are. Hope to see more.
Onya mate! Ezza, you are fitting in amongst the Aussie locals brilliantly. If you come to New Zealand, don't forget to visit the South Island - the scenery is spectacular.
Thank you Eli for introducing us to Dalby; Because the cliche of the Outback & coastal video coverage is tiresome. Finally some more of the 'ordinary' suburban Aussie life.
Immediately after the event is over farmers could bring in many hungry farm animals who like watermelon to eat the pieces of watermelon on the ground so it doesn't go to waste. Perhaps horses, pigs and other livestock would consider broken watermelon on the ground a feast. That said, I'm not a farmer and I'm not an Aussie. I'm a Yank who lives in a suburb of Chicago.
Wow, this video by Eli is incredible! It's amazing to see you exploring Dalby and Chinchilla Queensland, Australia. Eli's enthusiasm is contagious. I love how you interact with the locals and embraces the culture. This video is a reminder of the beauty of travel and the connections we can make across different cultures. Thanks for sharing, Eli!"
Well, I haven't been able to get away on a holliday for some time, but Ell, I mean "Ezza," watching you have so much fun, is like having a holiday. Also, it's so great to see parts of the country I haven't seen. I hope one day I can go and see your amazing country. The work you have done on these videos is excellent. Thank you.
Not the first Russian by any means--but probably the most welcome. Sorghum is used to make flour and if you eat Vita-Brits, you are also eating some sorghum.
Looks like a very fun place to visit. I like the countryside. Reminds me of my lonesome trips to the Midwest in the US. I love the Country Fairs there. With horse racing, the fair rides (like a ''carnival''), the goat barns lol, the fair food ! And easygoing people. All in one place. Visit those if you ever can. I do recommend Delaware; Ohio. Been there 3 times and it is fantastic. Very oldskool 'Merica :P
There is actually a valley with Wallabies in Hawaii that have been there for over a century so a little bit of Australia in Hawaii.There are so many places that can be awesome experiences to see in Australia as so many visiters have found and extolled on UA-cam and elsewhere good to see you experiencing some good Aussie larakin fun times enjoy our Country and it;s many and varied people who like the majority of people anywhere in the world are good and helpful and cheerful and generally nice people there are exceptions as there are anywhere but they are generally few and far between thankfully.
As an Aussie I stumbled upon the Chinchilla watermelon festival when I went for a job interview in Chinchilla after travelling down from Moranbah. Crazy weekend before going home to Brisbane. Great to see you thoroughly enjoyed the watermelon 🍉 festival. Now that’s something that won’t be beaten in Russia🇷🇺. Keep up the great work with your videos Eza
so glad you got out to the country side and saw the outback australia and the friendly people and Small towns, i can tell you had an absolute fabulous time here ,,,so glad you came to our part of the world after seing so much of your travels i wondered if you would ever come here ,,,so glad you did cheers mate
Hi Eli 11:48 - Not a bad thing to be aware of snakes and spiders when you are camping. A respectful suggestion - I would take my shoes inside the tent at night. I hope that you checked them in the morning to ensure they were not already occupied. Eli, you have made so many compelling documentaries about Russian peoples, their cultures and where they live. It's been a real education for me and I suspect it may have quashed many of the tired old stereotypes westerners have about Russia and Russians. I wonder if you make versions of your travels to other countries, like this one to Australia, translated into Russian for a Russian or Slavic audience? You may yet do more to bring Russians and non-Russians together than anyone else I can recall right now. This is particularly important in a time of war, when each side seeks to dehumanize the other. Thanks for another great video. I grew up in Sydney and never visited Dalby. Take care and stay safe.
Great advice. Shoes and socks indoors, up high, knocked together and shaken upside-down in the morning, and visually examined for the creepy crawlies. Friend of a friend got bitten by a banana spider. His hand swelled up to three times normal size, went black, and almost had to be amputated. Best of all is shoes and garments inside an old unplugged refrigerator. They seal out vermin real well, including safeguarding food. Trips to the Amazon etc. require netting against vampire bats at night. My sixth grade teacher learned, from getting bitten regardless, she had to also wear gloves. They know how to get blood surreptitiously when you are asleep and they are undetectable due to the razor sharp teeth.
I was going to say the same thing...or else they can also be stolen by dingoes or wild dogs (happened to me on Fraser Island)!!! I found mine chewed to pieces in the bush nearby.
It is pleasing to see you enjoying your time here in our country. The best parts are always the country towns, they make their own fun and are happier than urban dwellers. Watch out for our snakes, they are harmless unless you startle them and they feel threatened. Enjoy your next adventure here.
I am glad you have been made to feel welcome Eli, I had hoped you would come to visit and I am happy that you're enjoying yourself and showing the city and country!
Eli! I think I saw one of my daughters in this video! She was on the back of the truck playing the Claranet. My other daughter and my wife were in the perade too but I couldnt make them out in your video.
The aesthetics on point. The skiing looks treacherous. I love watermelon with seeds so much for so many reasons. When I get a seedless melon I get disappointed.
I really love it when you speak Russian in your videos with your friends who are also speaking Russian because it helps me. Im currently learning Russian right now so hearing some of the slang being used helps me understand the I guess "rules of how to use the Russian language" in just a casual chat.
you know what i really like about you Eli? I really like how you dont wait you cant wait to just go and explore. Like you wont have a way to get back home or a place to stay you just go. You will just sleep in a tent by your self if you have to. Thats pretty awesome, i like your spirit))
The birdlife in australia is always something I've always loved. A lot of them strike people as exotic, but it's just pleasant to have the everyday encounters with the various brightly colored parakeets or lorikeets even in suburbia. As I recall, you get flocks of budgies out near Dalby.
I'm very familiar with that area ,as my mates family ,live near there ,it's great you got to experience, rural Australian life. Bunya Mountains are named after the Bunya pine trees ,they put on a type of fruit ,once a year ,aboriginal tribes used to congregate there during the season, to share the bunya nuts.
I think alot of people would love to travel the world like you have but most of us can't afford it. It would be amazing to see the world from different views.
Great viewing. Stayed at Dalby and Chinchilla a lot for work. I love the Bunyas and ride my motorcycle there a lot. Did you know that during a cold winter not so long ago there was 1 metre of snow at the base of the Bunya Pines. It often reaches 3 deg C during the day in winter.
This was a fantastic video - you guys had so much fun and it was awesome to see what a great job you friends did in making you feel right at home. Awesome, just simply great! Everyone would have been delighted to meet you :)
Wonderful, Eli. Thank you! You always shine in your travel adventures but even more so during these peculiar local festivals you encounter. I kept thinking it would be out-of-this-world amazing if you could find some benefactor to sponsor a trip to the Burning Man festival in the USA in your future. BM is so over documented in slick styled ways now its become kind of a bore but I think your charming personal style could enliven it once again. Here's hoping!
I hope you didn't, but PLEASE don't forget to ALWAYS take your footwear of any kind into the tent with you when camping. A quick middle of the night trip to the toilet could easily end in disaster. Loving your enthusiasm and following your adventures throughout our beautiful, friendly country. Happy, safe travels to you Eli. Hoping we're making your world travels the best experience ever, EZZA😉😂😂
My wife and I returned three weeks ago after a five week road trip across entire New Zealand, Tasmania and Australian East Coast. We wish we had ventured in to the Bush areas. Lot of fun But sadly no melons! Melancholy!
Wow that was a big surprise, I was right there at the watermelon skiing myself, though I didn't participate just watched. So cool that you ended up not just going to Dalby but also my home town Chinchilla. If I'd known at the time you would be there I would have said hello. I am also glad that you did visit the Bunya Mt. did you go on any of the hikes? Didn't see any footage of it but then again the vid was packed. Many thanks for showcasing rural Australia and not just the big cities. So amazed at you visiting Chinchilla!
I was recommending in another video’s comments section to visit the “real Australia”, outside the big cities…THIS is what I meant. I had some of the same experiences, going to see kangaroos in the wild, having rosellas (I think that’s what they are) on my head, sharing my lunch with them, etc. I enjoyed every second of this video.❤
I have to tell you, my son, after he did a stint in the Australian Army, decided to go around the world. He had qualified as a Plumber, but he was also not a bad Carpenter, he had worked for his Uncle in school holidays as an Electricians helper and had re-built 2 cars and knew mechanics. When he got to Russia, he did the tourist things, museums, Moscow, St Petersburg. Then he took a river cruise and on that cruise was invited to play cards and drink with some crew members. The crew told him about an old monastery to visit, so after the cruise he visited the monastery, there he saw various plumbing works that needed fixing, so he talked to the priests and ended up staying and fixing the plumbing, the priests arranged he stay in town. The lady who owned the house where he stayed asked him to fix her plumbing, he explained he needed tools and materials, this was organised. He ended up staying in that town for a couple of months, he had to leave because he overstayed his Visa and was scared they would put him in prison. He said in the village, there were very few men his age (late 20s) and most of the men were drunks! He was offered false Russian credentials to allow him to stay, but he didn’t accept. He said that town was the best place he visited in his world trip. He later stayed a while in Sweden and a while I England and a long spell in Ireland. He really enjoyed his time in Russia.
Привет Ели. Ваши видео о путешествиях по Австралии действительно хороши. Ты теперь часть австралийца. От старого Фила в Сиднее. Translation - G'day Eli. Your videos about travel in Australia are really good. You are now part Aussie. From old Phil in Sydney (trying hard to learn Russian)
Thanks for another excellent video about our country Elli, really took me back, very much enjoying your back catalogue as we have spent time in Russia & very much feel it's pull.
I thought it was only Queenslanders that say Rock melon, but it is the rest of Australia, while ONLY in Victoria we say Cantaloupe! (EDIT: for correction.)
@@michaelmcintyre5719 Must be a Rugby States thing then, may be, btw guess how much further South I am then? Hint: I hate Sydney, not NSW in general though!

A shopping centre food court as entertainment 😂😂. I'm Aussie born and lived here all my life and I've never even heard of Dalby lol. My brother lives in Queensland, not sure if he knows it.
@@ElifromRussia Your content is so much fun to watch, especially seeing you in my country. It's also a nice break from all the serious stuff I watch. Glad I found your channel, you're adorable! You should move to Australia, and teach me Russian since my mother wasn't strict enough to teach me haha 😋 I have wanted to learn my ancestral language for some time now, but gosh it's such a huge commitment of time, that precious thing that feels like there's never enough of already. I think you'd fit in well here anyhow!😊 I'm curious though, if you care to answer, what has been your favourite country of all you have been to? You probably get asked that a lot! Thank you for sharing your fun crazy adventures!
This was a fun, interesting, humorous, and delighful video that was well edited! If not for you, Eli, I would have never heard of Dalby and Chinchilla, Australia. Good people there! I always love your positive comments at the end.
Thank you for watching, mates!

I'm so happy that you experienced places beyond the big cities. You are such a good sport and keen to try it all which makes for entertaining video. Did Bec explain that red headed people in Australia are usually nick-named "Blue", and they are called "Rangas". These are terms of endearment and definitely not offensive. Locals are very relaxed in the Aussi bush and if you encounter any snakes they are just as anxious to get away as you are. Hope to see more.
This is fantastic. A part of Australia not many tourists get to see. An authentic Australian experience..
Onya mate! Ezza, you are fitting in amongst the Aussie locals brilliantly. If you come to New Zealand, don't forget to visit the South Island - the scenery is spectacular.
Fun video - thanks for taking us along. That area is very similar to the rural area I grew up in US
Thank you Eli for introducing us to Dalby; Because the cliche of the Outback & coastal video coverage is tiresome. Finally some more of the 'ordinary' suburban Aussie life.
Immediately after the event is over farmers could bring in many hungry farm animals who like watermelon to eat the pieces of watermelon on the ground so it doesn't go to waste. Perhaps horses, pigs and other livestock would consider broken watermelon on the ground a feast.
That said, I'm not a farmer and I'm not an Aussie. I'm a Yank who lives in a suburb of Chicago.
Wow that was a really great video 👍👍👍
Glad you have found yourself going off the “usual” beaten track to find the other side of Australia. Hope you continue to enjoy your adventure.
Wow, this video by Eli is incredible! It's amazing to see you exploring Dalby and Chinchilla Queensland, Australia. Eli's enthusiasm is contagious. I love how you interact with the locals and embraces the culture. This video is a reminder of the beauty of travel and the connections we can make across different cultures. Thanks for sharing, Eli!"
Eli is amazing wherever she goes.
Well, I haven't been able to get away on a holliday for some time, but Ell, I mean "Ezza," watching you have so much fun, is like having a holiday. Also, it's so great to see parts of the country I haven't seen. I hope one day I can go and see your amazing country. The work you have done on these videos is excellent. Thank you.
Not the first Russian by any means--but probably the most welcome. Sorghum is used to make flour and if you eat Vita-Brits, you are also eating some sorghum.
I lived in a small rural town called Mount Compass in south Australia, once a year they had an event called compass cup, the world's only cow race.
Looks like a very fun place to visit. I like the countryside.
Reminds me of my lonesome trips to the Midwest in the US.
I love the Country Fairs there. With horse racing, the fair rides (like a ''carnival''), the goat barns lol, the fair food ! And easygoing people. All in one place.
Visit those if you ever can. I do recommend Delaware; Ohio. Been there 3 times and it is fantastic. Very oldskool 'Merica :P
OMG, that was really heartening. I am so happy you could see past the tourist crap and connect with real people and feel the soul of Australia.
This is one of your best. Thank you!
Good old-fashioned fun. I feel envious.
There is actually a valley with Wallabies in Hawaii that have been there for over a century so a little bit of Australia in Hawaii.There are so many places that can be awesome experiences to see in Australia as so many visiters have found and extolled on UA-cam and elsewhere good to see you experiencing some good Aussie larakin fun times enjoy our Country and it;s many and varied people who like the majority of people anywhere in the world are good and helpful and cheerful and generally nice people there are exceptions as there are anywhere but they are generally few and far between thankfully.
Excellent video! Your videos are always so beautiful and this one is amazing. Thanks a lot for sharing
Wonderful video. Great job with the soundtrack.
As an Aussie I stumbled upon the Chinchilla watermelon festival when I went for a job interview in Chinchilla after travelling down from Moranbah. Crazy weekend before going home to Brisbane. Great to see you thoroughly enjoyed the watermelon 🍉 festival. Now that’s something that won’t be beaten in Russia🇷🇺. Keep up the great work with your videos Eza
so glad you got out to the country side and saw the outback australia and the friendly people and Small towns, i can tell you had an absolute fabulous time here ,,,so glad you came to our part of the world after seing so much of your travels i wondered if you would ever come here ,,,so glad you did cheers mate
Love seeing my country through other people's eyes. Cheers mate.
Hi Eli
11:48 - Not a bad thing to be aware of snakes and spiders when you are camping. A respectful suggestion - I would take my shoes inside the tent at night. I hope that you checked them in the morning to ensure they were not already occupied.
Eli, you have made so many compelling documentaries about Russian peoples, their cultures and where they live. It's been a real education for me and I suspect it may have quashed many of the tired old stereotypes westerners have about Russia and Russians. I wonder if you make versions of your travels to other countries, like this one to Australia, translated into Russian for a Russian or Slavic audience? You may yet do more to bring Russians and non-Russians together than anyone else I can recall right now. This is particularly important in a time of war, when each side seeks to dehumanize the other.
Thanks for another great video. I grew up in Sydney and never visited Dalby.
Take care and stay safe.
Great advice. Shoes and socks indoors, up high, knocked together and shaken upside-down in the morning, and visually examined for the creepy crawlies. Friend of a friend got bitten by a banana spider. His hand swelled up to three times normal size, went black, and almost had to be amputated. Best of all is shoes and garments inside an old unplugged refrigerator. They seal out vermin real well, including safeguarding food. Trips to the Amazon etc. require netting against vampire bats at night. My sixth grade teacher learned, from getting bitten regardless, she had to also wear gloves. They know how to get blood surreptitiously when you are asleep and they are undetectable due to the razor sharp teeth.
Shut up
Great words Tim.
I was going to say the same thing...or else they can also be stolen by dingoes or wild dogs (happened to me on Fraser Island)!!! I found mine chewed to pieces in the bush nearby.
It is pleasing to see you enjoying your time here in our country. The best parts are always the country towns, they make their own fun and are happier than urban dwellers. Watch out for our snakes, they are harmless unless you startle them and they feel threatened. Enjoy your next adventure here.
I am glad you have been made to feel welcome Eli, I had hoped you would come to visit and I am happy that you're enjoying yourself and showing the city and country!
Eli! I think I saw one of my daughters in this video! She was on the back of the truck playing the Claranet. My other daughter and my wife were in the perade too but I couldnt make them out in your video.
😍😍
Glad you seem to be enjoying your stay down here. As well as getting out of the cities and mixing it with locals.
The aesthetics on point. The skiing looks treacherous. I love watermelon with seeds so much for so many reasons. When I get a seedless melon I get disappointed.
Great video. I’m glad you love Australia - a happy country.
Wow , wonderful episode , glad you enjoyed it ❤❤❤❤
This made my day!
I really love it when you speak Russian in your videos with your friends who are also speaking Russian because it helps me. Im currently learning Russian right now so hearing some of the slang being used helps me understand the I guess "rules of how to use the Russian language" in just a casual chat.
you know what i really like about you Eli? I really like how you dont wait you cant wait to just go and explore. Like you wont have a way to get back home or a place to stay you just go. You will just sleep in a tent by your self if you have to. Thats pretty awesome, i like your spirit))
Great vid!👌 Snoop Dogg, popping up out of nowhere, scared the shizzle out of me. 😆
The birdlife in australia is always something I've always loved. A lot of them strike people as exotic, but it's just pleasant to have the everyday encounters with the various brightly colored parakeets or lorikeets even in suburbia. As I recall, you get flocks of budgies out near Dalby.
Never dull with this girl
So awesome
Absolutely fantastic adventure. Hope to see more.
Looks like you are having lots of fun ! So many smiles !
Outback Australia is awesome, I look forward to seeing more Australian adventures....
Love what you do !! 👍😀👌
Ken - Tasmania Australia.
very well done. an excellent representation of rural australia and the people.
I loved the little pictures too.
I'm very familiar with that area ,as my mates family ,live near there ,it's great you got to experience, rural Australian life.
Bunya Mountains are named after the Bunya pine trees ,they put on a type of fruit ,once a year ,aboriginal tribes used to congregate there during the season, to share the bunya nuts.
A very good video, Eli! Thanks for sharing.
I didn't realize you visited our area back in February. Someone local would have put you up if they knew you were out camping by yourself.
You're a natural skier. Very classy.
You did great glad you enjoyed yourself keep smiling love your videos 👍🇦🇺
I really love these Australian videos, great job girls!
Glad you enjoy them!
Thank you for the trip down under. And all of the fun at the watermelon festival! 😊
Eli your videos of Australia are super funny and show a bit of Aussies sense of humour and life philosophy. “(He, She, It) will be right mate!”
Amazing video Eli thank you !!
I think alot of people would love to travel the world like you have but most of us can't afford it. It would be amazing to see the world from different views.
Great viewing. Stayed at Dalby and Chinchilla a lot for work. I love the Bunyas and ride my motorcycle there a lot. Did you know that during a cold winter not so long ago there was 1 metre of snow at the base of the Bunya Pines. It often reaches 3 deg C during the day in winter.
Is so nice thank you Eli love you ❤ !!
This was a fantastic video - you guys had so much fun and it was awesome to see what a great job you friends did in making you feel right at home. Awesome, just simply great! Everyone would have been delighted to meet you :)
You're living the life Eli!
Wonderful, Eli. Thank you! You always shine in your travel adventures but even more so during these peculiar local festivals you encounter. I kept thinking it would be out-of-this-world amazing if you could find some benefactor to sponsor a trip to the Burning Man festival in the USA in your future. BM is so over documented in slick styled ways now its become kind of a bore but I think your charming personal style could enliven it once again. Here's hoping!
I worked with a russian man a few years ago and we did a project in Dalby together, so there has at least been one russian in Dalby before you 😊
I hope you didn't, but PLEASE don't forget to ALWAYS take your footwear of any kind into the tent with you when camping. A quick middle of the night trip to the toilet could easily end in disaster. Loving your enthusiasm and following your adventures throughout our beautiful, friendly country. Happy, safe travels to you Eli. Hoping we're making your world travels the best experience ever, EZZA😉😂😂
Your Aussie videos are fantastic , love em and I'm glad you enjoyed your time here mate..
Great that you went up to the Bunya Mountains.
My wife and I returned three weeks ago after a five week road trip across entire New Zealand, Tasmania and Australian East Coast. We wish we had ventured in to the Bush areas. Lot of fun But sadly no melons! Melancholy!
Wow that was a big surprise, I was right there at the watermelon skiing myself, though I didn't participate just watched. So cool that you ended up not just going to Dalby but also my home town Chinchilla. If I'd known at the time you would be there I would have said hello. I am also glad that you did visit the Bunya Mt. did you go on any of the hikes? Didn't see any footage of it but then again the vid was packed. Many thanks for showcasing rural Australia and not just the big cities. So amazed at you visiting Chinchilla!
I was recommending in another video’s comments section to visit the “real Australia”, outside the big cities…THIS is what I meant. I had some of the same experiences, going to see kangaroos in the wild, having rosellas (I think that’s what they are) on my head, sharing my lunch with them, etc. I enjoyed every second of this video.❤
I have to tell you, my son, after he did a stint in the Australian Army, decided to go around the world. He had qualified as a Plumber, but he was also not a bad Carpenter, he had worked for his Uncle in school holidays as an Electricians helper and had re-built 2 cars and knew mechanics. When he got to Russia, he did the tourist things, museums, Moscow, St Petersburg. Then he took a river cruise and on that cruise was invited to play cards and drink with some crew members. The crew told him about an old monastery to visit, so after the cruise he visited the monastery, there he saw various plumbing works that needed fixing, so he talked to the priests and ended up staying and fixing the plumbing, the priests arranged he stay in town. The lady who owned the house where he stayed asked him to fix her plumbing, he explained he needed tools and materials, this was organised. He ended up staying in that town for a couple of months, he had to leave because he overstayed his Visa and was scared they would put him in prison. He said in the village, there were very few men his age (late 20s) and most of the men were drunks! He was offered false Russian credentials to allow him to stay, but he didn’t accept. He said that town was the best place he visited in his world trip. He later stayed a while in Sweden and a while I England and a long spell in Ireland. He really enjoyed his time in Russia.
Привет Ели. Ваши видео о путешествиях по Австралии действительно хороши. Ты теперь часть австралийца. От старого Фила в Сиднее. Translation - G'day Eli. Your videos about travel in Australia are really good. You are now part Aussie. From old Phil in Sydney (trying hard to learn Russian)
Thanks for another excellent video about our country Elli, really took me back, very much enjoying your back catalogue as we have spent time in Russia & very much feel it's pull.
Thank you Eli for this little discovery tour to Australia, a country I didn't know much about❤
I thought it was only Queenslanders that say Rock melon, but it is the rest of Australia, while ONLY in Victoria we say Cantaloupe! (EDIT: for correction.)
It's rockmelon as well here in Sydney and most if not all of NSW Saul.
@@michaelmcintyre5719 Must be a Rugby States thing then, may be, btw guess how much further South I am then? Hint: I hate Sydney, not NSW in general though!
@@michaelmcintyre5719 Been rock melons for decades all over Aus.
rock melon everywhere in Aus, never even heard of a cantaloupe until i seen one on american tv.
@@graemedd Definitely Cantaloupe in Melbourne Vic, apparently everywhere else it's Rockmelon, I stand corrected!
Woohoo. My territory. I live in Toowoomba, great pictures of the range highway. Love your videos.
Have you ever lied, stolen, used God's name in vain, looked wuth lust? if so you need to repent today and Believe in Jesus Christ to save you from Hell and go to heaven instead
A shopping centre food court as entertainment 😂😂. I'm Aussie born and lived here all my life and I've never even heard of Dalby lol. My brother lives in Queensland, not sure if he knows it.
😂😂
@@ElifromRussia Your content is so much fun to watch, especially seeing you in my country. It's also a nice break from all the serious stuff I watch. Glad I found your channel, you're adorable!
You should move to Australia, and teach me Russian since my mother wasn't strict enough to teach me haha 😋 I have wanted to learn my ancestral language for some time now, but gosh it's such a huge commitment of time, that precious thing that feels like there's never enough of already. I think you'd fit in well here anyhow!😊
I'm curious though, if you care to answer, what has been your favourite country of all you have been to? You probably get asked that a lot!
Thank you for sharing your fun crazy adventures!
I think being your " support team " would be a dream job for someone.
Ellie, you did more real Australian things than most people who have lived in Australia all of their life.
This was a fun, interesting, humorous, and delighful video that was well edited! If not for you, Eli, I would have never heard of Dalby and Chinchilla, Australia. Good people there! I always love your positive comments at the end.
Elina is every Where... Well done my love ❤❤❤❤
This was sooooo much fun to watch, I loved it
My dear Elina All the Video related you I like and I very thankful to you. Thank you once again.👍🌹
The aussie girl showing you around is a top sheila!
