The father and grandfather who rescued the child were Indian Sikhs. It's a big problem with migrants and tourists who come from countries where it's not normal to learn to swim as babies or children as it is in coastal, lakeside or riverside communities especially here.
Not only that. Theres a Pakistani and an indian channel on youtube that both shows them take trips and so on.. And when they're at rhe ocean or even a water park they're always really strange around water. They act like the sea is normally a little pond so they say things like.. Look how it goes on all over the beach.. Or act like its a living thing.. Its hard to explain but i cant swim but still act normally around water. So if in a water park I will go in the ride as long as the water only reaches above the waist and thats always the case.. So when on a slide and hitting the water i just go in it and come up instantly. I dont get the feeling i cant get up or I don't know what's up and down. But these guys act like water can grab them and eat them or something. It looks really strange to me. But then again their fears are never logical to me..
Hot Cross buns are sold from January to April when 4 decades ago it was just around easter. IGA isnt as widespread as Colesworth, and they cant achieve price parity so its hard for them to get bigger. Take care Ryan.
@twoflyinghats if you can,t swim don,t swim
@@selmaroberson4447
I can swim, but I wouldn‘t hesitate a second to jump into the deepest waters to save my child, even if I couldn‘t.
Iga is a community supporter. I try to shop there. Hate getting ripped off by Cole’s n woolworths
With all the disgusting things mentioned in the 20 most bizarre foods, they dare list Vegemite on toast as one of them!?!?!?! Who are the nutcases who chose that! 🤣
ohh I missed that one. That's ridiculous lol!
Clearly the ones who think it is as bad as vrgin boys egg 🤯
IGA is an American franchise company. American IGA stands for Independent Grocers Association..... but it got changed for Aus for some reason 🤷 So they pretty much just sold the rights to use the name.
They are our 4th largest supermarket and are actually usually pretty good little supermarkets
In my primary school days, I didn't have a computer (of course), so no internet. I didn't even need a mirror (as my dishevelled look proved). I simply knew I was awesome!! 😅. I'd eat my hot cross buns on the walk to school, confident and smiling. Then puberty hit. 😅
Good advice Ryan. Good health and kindness is so important.
It’s wonderful advice 😊
IGA started in NY in 1926. Operated under a franchise model in 41 countries.
Hi Ryan, we have had a real spate of drownings among people not born in Australia lately. This family was from a certain South Asian country where education in water safety and swimming lessons are not routine like they are here. The biggest region for immigration from that country to Victoria is from an inland state, so they are also not accustomed to the ocean. Four family members from that same country (sorry to keep referring to it like this, but I am a Boomer and have no idea if I would be considered racist for naming the country) drowned in the ocean off a Victorian beach this summer. I visited Warburton, which has the upper reaches of the Yarra River running through it, with my family this Good Friday. The river was running pretty rapidly. A family from unsaid country was wading in the river and sitting on the rocks in the river and I immediately was concerned they might fall in and start drowning. In my mind, I was rehearsing in what order I would throw off my clothes to jump in and rescue them. When I mentioned it later to my family members, they were all thinking exactly the same thing.
Coles don’t always throw out food, unless it’s mouldy or inedible. I volunteer and take all the food from my local Coles that they are discarding (day old bread, fresh food, food in dented cans/packaging etc) to the local Salvation Army to give to those in need. Nearly all grocery stores in Aus do that too.
Also that Gnarabup sign is the most West Aussie thing I’ve seen today. The spider!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I do love Huntsmen though, they’re beautiful spiders 🖤🕷️
Yeah lets see how much you love them when you wake up and one of those bastards is resting on your face.
Oh Penny, I wish I could share the love but they’re repellant. If I didn’t have such a revulsion to huntsmen, I’d be fearless!
where the hell did my comment go?
Yeah let's see how you love them after you wake up one morning with one them bastards laying on your face.
Most big supermarket chains, including Coles, throws out so much organic food (fruit and veggies) because they aren’t shaped or coloured right. It’s a huge problem, feel free to research this (or I am pulling all of this out of my ass because I know this from a documentary from school)
There are always signs next to pools and beaches stating that there is no life guard between certain hours, and that it is advised that you do not go swimming during those hours. And yes huntsmen spiders can get dinner plate sized
I've really loved watching the background changing in your videos as your bub grows.
It's why we teach kids how to swim even as babies with parents
My guess they are visitors or migrants that never been around water / swimming pools
Hot x buns are similar to fruit bread with cinnamon flavour you can toast them and stack on the butter
Hot cross buns are spiced bread (cinnamon-y) and you can buy with dried fruit or without.
Or with chocolate chips 😋
mmm.. cinnamon and bread flavoured chocolate chips... with a chocolate cross
Our Woolworths supermarket used to be Safeway until a few years ago.
I don't know if it's just Melbourne, or just Victoria, or Australia-wide, but some years ago Coles here reached some kind of agreement with Melbourne's French Patisserie chain "Laurent" to overhail their in-house baked goods, and ever since the Coles bakery products have been _waaay_ better than the Woolworth ones (even when they sometimes look identical). Their hot-cross buns are excellent: The ones in the picture are also Coles' apple-and-cinnamon variety vs IGA's raisin, chosen so the fruit pieces look smaller. The Coles ones were also obviously deliberately squashed. (Though Coles' standard ones are very soft, brioche-like bread and squash easily, and I haven't had the IGA ones but in the picture they look firmer and bread-ier; there are also "standard" and "deluxe" versions of the buns as well at Coles at least, so it might have been an unfair comparison of deluxe IGA vs regular Coles).
BTW the supermarket candy shelves were labelled by parent company, not by actual label. Mondelez owns Cadbury, Oreo, Toblerone and others - those are the brands you'd recognise and see on the actual wrappers!
IGA in Australia is a grouping of smaller grocers across Australia
My son at 7, yes 7, sat on the floor and told me his thighs were fat!!!! Where did he get that from?!? I don't know, but trying to explain to a 7 year old that when you grow you get stocky then you grow up, like your building that energy just doesn't cut it because at 7 he felt ugly no matter what I said...well now, that little boy is 6ft 5 has a wife and 2 kids himself but he is still super conscious of his looks.
They were probably from other countries and can’t swim happening all through our hot summer foreigners drowning at beaches as well definitely should learn to swim when they migrate to Australia 🇦🇺
Ryan! You missed the point of the bizarre foods! They included Vegemite on toast alongside all those gross foods as though they are remotely comparable!! 😅
Primary school is grade 1 to 6, high school is 7 to 12
Victoria it is Prep, 1-6.
Kindergarten is pre school.
High school is yr 7-12
some places its primary = K-6, High School 7-10, College 11-12
In my state, primary is Yr 1 to 7 (age 6 to 12) high school Years 8 to 12. (age 13 to 17).
It may be called a primary school but the primary years in NSW are 3-6 and infants are K-2
It varies a bit from state to state.
In my town we have IGA Drakes which a branch of IGA.
The Independent Grocers Alliance (IGA) was founded in 1926 to bring family owned, local grocery stores together under the IGA brand. IGA was started in May 1926 when a group of 100 independent retailers in Poughkeepsie, New York; and Sharon, Connecticut; led by J. Frank Grimes, organized themselves into a single marketing system.
METCASH own the IGA BRAND and every IGA must stock their stores from METCASH and do whatever they say.. It’s so corrupt it’s not funny.. Yes, they are individually owned but the system is still shonky as hell.. I have personal experience with METCASH..
Roger Drake has broken away from METCASH in SA.. I haven’t talked to Roger for a while so I don’t understand why he’s still associated with METCASH in other states.. it might be because he hasn’t expanded his distribution centre in other states as he has done here.. BUT HE WILL! I really like Roger and always got along with him.. and I hope he continues to expand.
Your info is not correct exactly.. METCASH owns THE IGA BRAND HERE.. South Africans are highly involved.. When I traveled to America.. first class of course, we met American counterparts discussing home brands and other crap.. WHICH THEY PUSH TO THE MAX BECAUSE ITS WHERE THEY MAKE THE MOST PROFIT IN AMERICA.. and the awards ceremony for the best supermarket was held in America.. with the South Africans there to oversee the event. It’s a convoluted history.. but the South Africans still have a major say in what happens.. All I will say is don’t trust any of them.. 😂😂😂
J Frank Grimes, eh? Did he prefer to be called Grimey? Did he live above a bowling alley and below another bowling alley?
I just read IGA was founded in Poughkeepsie, New York in May 1926 by 100 independent retailers. 😳😃
yes the IGA brand is American but all its supermarkets are supplied by Metcash (which is also Australian owned but licence the brand) but are individually owned and operated.
I bought IGA hot Cross Buns this Easter. They were great and on special. Usually don’t shop there cos normally too dear. Figures that Cadbury is now owned my an American company. Cadbury is awful. Never use to be.
Iga operates in 41 countries
Those Cole’s hot cross buns look very squashed. We had several packages of coles buns this year and they were excellent. I was surprised by the quality. There was plenty of fruit in them and they tasted great. We like to toast ours and make them chrunchy, then slather on lots of butter, delicious. 😊
Yeh our Cole’s ones looked perfectly fine too. We also got the brioche ones which are really good toasted too!
I agree. I had some and they definitely didn't look like that. I was surprised they were quite good.
The drowning incidents happen all the time in our beaches and waterways. There are many drownings in pools but usually when a child slips in when no one notices. Not usually when adults go in the pool.
Don't seem right, maybe heart attacks from the shock of it all
@warsux No, not shock. These two adult men could'nt swim. Many migrants or visitors from other countries come here but have never learnt how to swim. That was what happened in this tragic drowning!!
@@liviamaclean6324 Yeah, that was my first thought.
We have an IGA supermarket around the corner that we support. We get a few things at ALDI and very little at Woolies. There are 4 or 5 IGA supermarkets within 25 minutes from our house. The one in town is huge. Ours even opened on Christmas Day in case anyone needed something for half a day. All of their staff were paid to stay home but ours are family owned and the owners and their families worked at Christmas and Easter. It is kind of like when the Butcher comes out to say hello and he knows your name. He also knows what cuts of meat we like and how we like it cut. We don’t buy off the shelf because he cuts ours fresh and it reminds me of when I was a child a long time ago.
The buns arrive frozen cooked and then we make sure they aren’t in shalves too long - nobody wants to get sick - a dump room has large industrial bins and mops etc
IGA used to be small, but are getting bigger. They are also a bit more expensive than Coles and Woolworths, But they do have some good specials.
Apparently the Indian origin family were non swimmers. The mother and young child were in the shallow end of the pool, but somehow the little one drifted to deeper water, the mother also not able to reach the child in the deeper water. The father and grandfather, though unable to swim, dove in to try to save the child.
As the general area apparently was not well occupied, other than this family, no one else was there to immediately help. The father and grandfather both ended in deep water struggle immediately.
Not fully explained in news I saw, the mother and child then were rescued abd safe. But father and grandfather when retrieved from the pool were not able to be revived by paramedics, died at the poolside.
Considerable pressure is now on to have extended support for swimming lessons for everyone. Basically "Why do non swimmers keep going into water, without some basic water skills?" I realise that in some 'accident' circumstances it is possible to drown in a bowl of water, but recent times there have been too many drownings of people without any swimming experience drowning, both in swimming pools and even entering open ocean SURF conditions. Sadly Indian origin people have especially stood out in the recent statistics.
Wow it's so hard to believe there are people who cant swim out there, Especially when swimming is so easy. It's like saying there are people who don't know how to run (Excluding the disabled). But damn if you know you can't swim don't go in the water Duh, What were they thinking? Did they not have brain cells as well?
Independent Grocers of Australia, is an Australian/American voluntary chain of grocery stores.
Ryan, you should have looked at the whole bizarre foods post. It had put vegemite on toast on that list.
IGA operates as independent stores like the franchise systems of businesses like McDonald's etc , but they buy from a buying group called Metcash. And they can buy local if they choose, they'll own and operate the building but share a generic layout and style and uniforms and systems. The American company seems similar but different meaning to its intials.
IGA stands for Independent Grocers of Australia. They are all individual but they can bulk buy etc by joining together like they do.
Oh you'd love hot cross buns. Simply a sweet bread roll with maybe some spice and fruit throughout with a piped cross over the top....used to think the cross was icing (should be).
Available January through another January!
The spider on the sign is just a Huntsman, not dangerous. The sign is a warning for swimmers, no sea snakes that we know of.
Hey Ryan, Primary School in Australia is from Kindergarten to Grade 6, in grade 6 most kids are 12 years old. High School then starts in grade 7 and ends in 10 or 12 depending on the School. If the School ends in grade 10, then a Student goes to a school with just 11 and 12, in my local area they are called a College.
IGA, Inc., is an Australian/American voluntary chain of grocery stores that operates in more than 41 countries. Unlike the chain store business model, IGA operates as a franchise through stores that are owned separately from the brand. Many of these stores operate in small-town markets and belong to families that manage them. It was founded in the United States as the Independent Grocers Alliance in 1926. The headquarters is in Chicago, Illinois.
It was the vegemite on toast being up there with the other 19 bizarre foods.
IGA Stores in some places are big and some IGA has smaller stores in country towns is very pricey. Coles and Woolworths Store are very very pricey.
Primary school in Australia ends in year 6
Really. It as year 7 in my day ..year8 was high school
It would depend on the state or territory you were in. NSW high school started in year 7, QLD high school used to start in year 8, it’s now year 7
IGA is in small country towns mostly and dearer to shop. Also it's supplied by Metcash which is huge, stores are independently owned and operated.
I'm used to Coles hot cross buns, they taste like Easter to me. I like the taste and don't care they're flat 🤷♂️
On the real estate agent sign I could not even get the paper flat. It has wrinkles on it on the left-hand side and one wrinkle on the right hand side with the man sign
Yep IGA s are a small grocery chain here...looks like the same one...
Two food types further was Vegemite on toast
Not as many people shop IGA vs coles or woollies or even Aldi is because since IGA are independently owned, they are more expensive, people are more inclined to only grab the few thing they have run out if between big shops from the local IGA on the way back from work or what ever.
Oh and the one thing coles does better than anywhere else are their cakes, their mud cakes are famous here and they in the last 5 years or so have also started to do a layered rainbow sponge great with vanilla buttercream that is really good as well as fancy cupcakes and even the macarons aren’t too bad (but very pricy), they also do some fancy layered chocolate deserts served in individual desert glasses (comes in a pack of 2), that aren’t too bad in price considering you get the glass it comes in as part the price.
My first job was at my local IGA ❤️
Hey Ryan
I am a firefighter from the Mid North Coast of New South Wales and I found a video that would be the best reason that Australia might not be for everyone.
It's about the biggest bushfires that the world has ever seen.
Please watch the title is below.
The stories behind the viral videos from Australia's bushfire crisis | four corners.
Good Arvo to you and your beautiful family.
IGA = Independent grocers Australia, where I live they are by far soo much better than Coles and Woolworths but then atm IMO anywhere is better
IGA are generally much smaller than coles or woolworths. and not as many of them around, are all independently owned (franchise type deal) they do cost a little extra too. so you wouldn't really do your weekly shop their, just more there if you need something in a hurry.
If I seen this & was looking for a house I would steer well away from these pretentious non functioning FWITS
Independent grocery of Australia 🇦🇺is what our one stands for
Where I am we have Woolies, ALDI & IGA,.. I only go to Woolies for a few things that I can't get any where else, like 1kg Buffalo Wings & chicken burgers, the rest of my shopping I get at the IGA (much better meat) at least according to my taste buds 😊
They had Vegemite hot cross buns as well this year Ryan 😊
IGA exists all over the place. I’m married to a Canadian lady and she says they had IGA in Canada. I remember IGA in New Zealand where I grew up. Not sure if they are in the UK, where I was born though.
IGA is part of Metcash which is South African.
Primary..kindy to year 6...5 to 12 years old...high school..years 7 to 12
Primary is 3 to 6 and infants are K to 2, however all do come under the one school which we conveniently call primary schools 😊
@@Dr_KAP when I went, kindy was separate and primary was 5-12, high school 12-17
@@barbarajoyce6424 that’s the age - I was referring to the grade 😉
IGA and Independent Supermarkets (rare these days) WIN hands down. Coles and Woolies are asshats
All the hot cross buns I have got from coles are like the top one and not like the bottom one.
Every time I drive past that porters sign I wonder is that house for lease or sale? But don't care enough to look it up.
Woolies is better than Coles imo. IGA is good, but they are not everywhere. The stores are not huge so the products are generally a little more expensive.
16:51 snakes was hand written onto the sign too just above sharks also at 14:15 or 14:20 there was a dropdown saying "what does iga stand for in usa"
Just for context, the people that drowned were Indian. It really shocks me that so many people who can't swim are around water alot. Generally Indian or Asian. Just watch Bondi rescue! I shop at coles. IGA is also pretty small
Also, Woolies (woolworths) jad Brioche chocolate hot cross buns. They were to die for!!
IGA is too expensive.
Well you can spend a little more to support Australian owned stores, like Independent Grocers Australia, or you can support WW and Coles and give your money to super corporate American based investors. Alternatively, you can buy from German owned Aldi.
Google check of major investors in any so called Australian store will show just how much these US based corporations own of us Aussies.
@@petemedium2185someone mentioned above that IGA is owned by a South African company so that the comment doesn't work.
@@petemedium2185 That's true, but when a lot of Aussies are struggling with money atm, not always an option to support more expensive Australian-owned stores. I try to go to my local store when I can, but since cheese and chocolate can be as much as $3 more, it's not always feasible.
@@ziggybadans I shop around the IGA's to get the best prices. Also I've got to known the owner/managers where I can and buy in bulk. Save a lot of money that way.
I believe EVERY flight into Australia should show mandatory Water Safety Video's, about swimming between the flags, why we have patrolled beaches, what rips are and hard to spot them. About sandbanks and how waves can sweep you off your feet - even knee deep. Also about currents in rivers and streams etc. Essentially, don't go in water if you can't swim!
Also about the hazards of heat and importance of keeping hydrated, as well as what 'distance' means when heading Outback - and NOT to rely on Google Maps etc!
Also Warnings about the exponential rise of 'Deaths By Selfie' occuring wortldwide, by people jumping over safety barriers and posing on the edges of scenic spots for that 'once in a life-time' { last of a life time ] 'shot'. A whole new Darwin Award category.
You can't Legislate against stupidity, but surely in a 20 or 12 hour flight travellers can spare 20 minutes to watch a safety vid or 2?
IGA is a small Grocery store
IGA is much more expensive & doesn't make the hot cross buns themselves. Obviously someone's had a fight with Coles normally look much better & I love Coles chocolate hotxbuns before Easter they cost 2 for$6 that is 2 x 6 pack IGA I've seen at same time 4 for $5.95 which would you buy??
How Aussie is that. Couldn't see the Snakes sign because of the spider. lol
the spider in a huntsman
They are yummy especially the chocolate hot cross buns not many people don't know how to swim and the Coles bin that he showed you is called what you said afterwards
The hot cross buns get stacked up by customers who are rumbling through them to find the best pack, so as the days go by, they get flatter. What’s even funnier is that some IGA stores buy from Coles, which proves my point. Customers don’t care if they’re crushing the bread buns.
So sad, I'm very surprised there was no one about who could have saved the father and grandfather in time even if by throwing something in which can float. (Most Aussies are able to swim except mostly immigrants).
You need to try some hot cross buns (very popular in Australia at Easter time, we only have them then). cut in half and toast them and spread on real butter. I'm not a sultana fan but in these buns they are actually nice.
IGA is a contradiction in terms: "Indepedent Grocers Association". If they are an association, they are not independent.
Portrait auction signs are indictions you are buying a former meth lab.
All real estate agents are psychopaths. This is the first thing you should understand when asking why they behave how they do
Footy season is upon us here Down Under. AFL have backed the controversial "DISSENT CALL" that sealed Carlton’s win over Fremantle! Can we talk about that please?..😊
The list of disgusting food included vegemite on the side you didn't look at
Vegemite is a thin spread, not peanut butter.
You missed it, with the "20 most bizarre foods in the world" they put vegemite on toast amongst all those atrocities.
Nothing wrong with puting Vegemite on Toast. I had that all the time as a child.
Vegemite on toast with avo..yum
Vegemite, avocado on toast . Yum yum yum
Never bake Vegemite into a Hot Cross Bun! Sure got some moron marketers in Aus.
Yeah, but that's the whole point of the article. They were saying that the creators of the list were declaring war for putting Vegemite on a list with all that other disgusting gross stuff. REALLY!
G’day
Thankfully that realtor is out on his own. I’ve never seen that, just the name pf the real estate agency on a shin high sign.
Estate agents work on commissions ,want to be front and centre so you contact them only.
How often do you see a shark swimming around in circles like that
Those drownings were very sad.... apparently the adults couldn't swim and they had heart attacks after being pulled from the pool.... that's what I read anyway. The child was saved. I would have thought that there would be a life preserver next to the pool that could be used but I guess in the moment nobody grabbed it? Unfortunate.
Century eggs, also known as piss eggs are boiled in urine.
Imagine putting our beloved Vegemite on toast on that list...LUNACY!! 😡
Century Egg,,,,,, you should see the Chicken.
When they say snakes they are talking about sea snakes
PRIMARY SCHOOL: Years K to 6
SECONDARY SCHOOL: Years 7 to 12
University is not considered to be school because it’s for adults.
Have you never been introduced to the concept of import / export, trade arrangements
Modelez is Cadbury down here
Real estate agents in Australia are always trying to outdo each other for the real estate agent awards for most properties sold etc
Cadbury is the best chockie
You call confectionery food?
Don’t sell yourself short son ,if I was 50 years younger you could be running away from me. I hope your little family is well.❤
Primary school is Kinder to year 6
Why no offical snakes sign on the beach warning sign? They are a given.
The story of the father and grandfather who drowned is incredibly sad. They were members of the Sikh community, which means they may have been from a country where learning to swim isn't common. The young child should have been supervised by an adult who could swim, or else not be allowed in the pool area at all.
How long was the baby or young child in the water before the father and grandfather jumped into the water to save the child . Where was the father in the first place for the child to be in the water long enough to be able to drown in the first place. Things like that the father should be charged for not being with the child manslaughter charges
Screen time..the cheapest & easiest babysitter ever! Do people actually remember that ALL devices do have an OFF button?! I have an almost 3 year old, and we all know that social media is only going to get rapidly worse. Who is raising who?
No lifeguard cos the huntsman ate him 😅
fat body, not a huntsman, may be a gold ball spider. we had them at our local beach looked like a black golfball with legs.
