      I think what makes Australia so great is that its the perfect mix of British and American way of life. They have an individualtic culture and big cars and houses like America but still have the laugauge link and some culture ties to Britian.

      What's funny is that almost nobody within Australia actually watches Neighbours, in fact, most Australians find it to be an extremely cringeworthy show. It's literally only produced because of a federal law that mandates that a certain percent of Australian-made TV drama be directly about Australian life. The vast majority of Neighbours viewership actually comes from international syndication, most predominantly from UK audiences.

The smoke it gives off is a very strong mosquito repellant, very important before the invention of modern alternatives in an area riddled by disease.

      Wrong though. When the phrase was coined, there were no pick-ups in Aus. It has since expanded to include anything with a tub or tray. The 4WD Ute market is the biggest segment in Aus. And that's what we call them, utes.

    • @ryane5281
      @ryane5281 7 місяців тому

      @bafman My experience is that larger trucks like an F-150 or Silverado (which have been absent for large parts of Australian history) are usually referred to as trucks, and a ute is pretty much anything smaller than those. It can be sporty like the FPV pictured in the video or off-roady like a Ranger. I don’t know if it was the very first, but when I think of classic utes I always think of the Holden Sandman.

      @@helmetguy6495 discovery is a very political issue. For example, NZ was one of the last places on earth to be settled, while the indigenous people of Australia is one of the oldest in the world. As for European discovery, Australia was discovered by the Dutch first as they would cross past Western Australia to get to Indonesia. The whole East Coast is another different story though. But the point I'm trying to make is that you cannot conclusively say one was discovered before the other. In reality, it is a question of which people/expedition made a discovery, and how that discovery made an impact on future discoveries.

Orr-Ewing and G. Sanders) at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford made progress in showing the in vivo bactericidal action of penicillin.[34][35] In 1940, they showed that penicillin effectively cured bacterial infection in mice.[36][37] In 1941, they treated a policeman, Albert Alexander, with a severe face infection; his condition improved, but then supplies of penicillin ran out and he died. Subsequently, several other patients were treated successfully.[38] In December 1942, survivors of the Cocoanut Grove fire in Boston were the first burn patients to be successfully treated with penicillin.

      Insulin was discovered by Romania ,not Canada ! Insulin was discovered by physiologist Nicolae Paulescu in 1922, although he called it pancreanin. Although he patented the discovery and published the results four times in a French magazine in 1921, at that time Paulescu was not awarded for his discovery. As history shows, Canadians F. Branting and Herbert Best published a paper on insulin 8 months later and they were awarded the Nobel prize for the discovery.

    A fun fact about the Outback is that it doesn't just mean all rural areas. You can think of it almost as concentric circles of habitation. Most people live around the coast of Australia - this is where the major cities and the vast majority of the population sit. As you get away from the cities, you come to farmland, which merges into the bush. The bush can be actual bushland, like dry forest, but it could also include places which are not explicitly forested - like grassland or savannah - but are not populous. The Outback is beyond - it is the vast red interior of Australia, the heart. The funny thing is that bushland areas can contact the sea, and really include any wild place (though calling the rainforests of the far northeast 'the bush' might be pushing it, you could probably still do it). Additionally, there are areas of desert which meet the sea out in the west, and you could probably still call them 'Outback'. They're both kind of difficult concepts to explain - Outback is a little easier, because it _mostly_ just means 'remote arid regions', but the bush especially is such a nuanced cultural concept that it's a little hard to get across. I think any Australian walking through an area would be able to tell you immediately if it was 'the bush' or not - it's a sort of feeling, as well as a place. Additionally the two can easily overlap - a dry remote grassland could very easily be considered 'the bush', but also be in the Outback.
