Gidday all This week weather in Oz. 12 inches of rain in Brisbane warm in Sydney dusting of snow on Victorian alps with emergency bushfires and here in WA 40c in Perth and 47c in northern WA. Normal weather really.
A normal summer day in Australia starts from 30c. A hot day is 40c, the further inland you get the hotter the average is. However the weather bureau enjoys sensationalizing our weather to the point they call 30c a heatwave when it is simply a normal summer day, anything in the 20's is considered a cool day to most of us.
@@carolthorson7854 I lived in the Hunter Valley nsw for decades.. the.mid summer heatwaves could be 45 for two weeks... dry heat yes.. but very cruel...
My memory of the flat white is that the name developed organically from people (including myself at the time) asking cafes for a cappuccino without the froth in the 1970s - and it got the name flat white. At a later date, someone actually wrote down the recipe and started putting it on the menu, but the name had been around for a good 10 years before that. 🙃
You are right. I arrived from NZ in 1987 and Flat Whites were on the menu where I worked in Kings Cross. It was the first I knew of it. Not any Cafes in NZ like they were in Oz at the time.😄
I was working in Brisbane during Expo 88 and we served flat whites in the hotel coffee shop then and it wasn't new. Sorry NZ I will give you Phar Lap & Russel Crowe both originating in NZ but you were well behind on coffee.
Bluey is in part owned by the Australian government, they funded the guy who made it so they have a small claim to it as they do with many children's programs
Not to mention being printed on the money is one of the highest accolades we can give. Kingsford Smith, Edith Cowan, David Unaipon, Banjo Patterson. These are our hero's. To be included in such high company is a massive honour. Litigation would be far from thought, humbled and reverence are more appropriate. It's not just having done a thing that gets you on the money, it needs to be culturally significant. I think its earnt it's spot. The world needs more families like the Heelers, and it's been a pretty successful export. In a small but significant way made the world better.
A few months ago our freight company had to shut down for a day. Turns out AUD$600,000 dollars worth of BlueyBucks had been stolen and the police were investigating. They caught the perp
We are not the most isolated country in the world because we travel the world and the world travels to bus. The migrants set up restaurants so we can enjoy food# from all around the world and even grow fresh produce for them to use in their cooking. We grow bok choy, choy sum, okra, Yuzu, galangal, lemon grass, artichokes, etc etc.
Merry Christmas Ryan and family hope you have a wonderful New Year. My mother used to order a flat white back in the 70's from the restaurant that Myer in Melbourne had.
It’s interesting that the question as to what the coins are made from, was answered by an American as aluminum bronze! How the heck does he know? “92% Copper - 6% Aluminium - 2% Nickel”. We don’t have any aluminum, only aluminium, same suffix as calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, etc.
It’s a cool 36 degrees Celsius (96.8 Fahrenheit) after 4.30pm where I am in the South West of WA. It got to 37 degrees. It’s suppose to be 39 degrees on Sunday (102.2). I just met my great niece and nephew today who were born and live in America. So gorgeous. Great to cuddle their Mum too, and meet her husband. They will be having an Aussie Christmas 🎄✨🎄✨
The flat white is just coffee usually made with milk and sugar if you have sugar in your coffee, it’s been around forever, instant coffee made on milk, simple and easy. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
@@nolaj114 I didn’t have a steamer to make my hot milk! I don’t even think they were around back then but I would just put the milk on the stove and bring it to the temperature I wanted and it would get a little froth on the top of it, I’m not a big coffee drinker and don’t like strong coffee, now you can purchase those little whisks that froth the milk and you don’t need a steamer, I have a coffee machine with a steamer and I’ve never used it because I can’t be bothered cleaning the thing just for one coffee But it’s a pretty blue colour Lol 😂 plus I don’t like the coffee that you have to use for it..😊
The flat white most definitely is not instant coffee sorry and it isn’t made with sugar. Not sure where you got that idea. It’s a shot of espresso with steamed milk and a very very light thin layer of froth. Sugar is an optional addition for those that like it and instant coffee never enters this equation!
@@Dr_KAP I’m talking about a flat white coffee that you make at home before all these coffee machines that you can buy now, I don’t like a strong coffee and I only have one coffee a day and I did say that you can add sugar if you need to, it’s usually added after you make the coffee but like I said, I’m not a big coffee drinker and that’s how we made it before all these coffee machines came out, actually I do have one and I’ve never used it, it’s a pretty blue and up in my cupboard because we mainly drink Tea both my husband and I and coffee in the USA is disgustingly strong even if you ask for a 1/4 strength, anyway, it’s just coffee made with milk at the end of the day, you either love it or hate it, I’m guessing it’s the same as making a hot chocolate if one prefers, but I’m not going to argue about a cup of coffee Lol 😂. Have a Good Day. 😊
Today, in Rockhampton area Central Queensland, it was between 21° to 30° ( 69f to 86f). Christmas Eve is going to be 24° to 38° (75f to 100f). It's actually quite cool for this time a year.We're not having much of the summer. Twenty degrees fahrenheit is minus sixth celsius.
Excellent - thank you for your effort - No not paying $10 for $1 - No not touching a Cane Toad for any reason - No not … uhh … No not … DAMN IT! Cheers for that - Sam.
43.1C at my place last Monday. A bit early in the season for the Sun to go nova like that. Had a C-130 Hercules water bomber flying over my house from Avalon Airport several times a day for the last few, on its way to douse the Grampians.
Look up the temperature for Marble Bar, WA, it's classed as the hottest place in Australia as it averages the highest temperatures throughout Australia
Don't look at Darwins weather for a general idea, Darwin is 30 degrees Celsius all year just dry or wet seasons, look at Sydney's or Perth, Sydney was 44 the other day which is very hot
We got Summer early this year in Ballarat usually we have to wait until the kids go back to school for some heat .When we get humidity in Ballarat everybody just goes into hibernation we just aren’t used to it.
I was talk8ng to a man visiting from China, and still haven't figured it out. This is in Benalla. We were talking about temperatures. I advised him we had 42 degrees. According to him, in China, 40 degrees is a lot hotter in China, than here. 🤔 confuddled and confused, ah, well.
I think the Christmas tree with the noose around the top is a little unsettling. Michael Lunig had his cartoons in the Age newspaper for decades, they were very politically suggestive at times, always had an up to date meaning .

At 5:20. Sadly, going from Cairns to Melbourne, you won’t see the twelve apostles. (There *were* 12, many years ago. 7 or 8 now, they fall down occasionally.) They’re on the Great Ocean Rd, west of Melb’n; if you go down the coast from Cairns, you come in on the east.
actually australia excells at other countries cuisine. especially from european countries and asian food. we have a huge variety of imigrants that have bought their food with them and has integrated them into our lives of the last 100 years. but we don't get many imigrants from the americas either north or south so mexican isn't our strong point.
Telling various Asian cuisines apart isn't one of our strong suits either, seeing as the 3 listed dishes 'from Chinatowns' are Malaysian, Indonesian and Vietnamese.
Issue with temperatures is that we are experiencing heatwaves in differing areas. In in Brisbane we had a week well over 30 then dropped to normal, 25 degrees.
We love the way they claim anything we do. They claimed the Pavlova ,because they had a written Recipe. Well writing it down means you are stealing it. The inventers has it in their head.
If you think the cane toad (big frog) stilling the dog food is bad - wait, tell you see the goanna (Monitor lizard - up to 10 feet long) stilling the dog food and the dog.
Aussie born and raised..... but just had to google Gravy Day - never heard of it, and after googling it, I realise that I've also never heard the song. I wonder if it's more a regional thing, than a national thing 🤔
Outside of Melbourne on 'the Mornington Peninsula', Christmas Day was 40*C and 39*Celsius and the wind stayed hot all night and Boxing Day. Double 40 then add 32= 112*F. The 32 is the difference between *F Freezing =32 and *C Freezing =0.
Re the flat white. The most convincing origin story is that Alan Preston first sold it in Sydney starting 1985. He came from Far North Qld, which as an eclectic ethnic mix of Italians and English which has devotees to tea and coffee, which is a recipe for the invention of the flat white. Having said that, it's not much of an invention.
Australia is not the most isolated country in the world. It's near one of the most populated regions in the world (south Asia). I think Americans and British just think that because Australia is long way from their countries.
The flat white was invented in New Zealand in 1980s?! I was drinking cordatto 25 yrs before that. 😅. On the less funny side, I would have hoped for some reaction to the news that the new Queensland government has legislated that 10-yr olds may now be imprisoned and given adult sentences for certain crimes. 😢
Sad indictment of our society. Simply lock the kids up. Is that all we have got? Easy to admit defeat, throw the kids in jail and throw away the key. Sad
Those are collectors items. It's expresso and steamed milk and a very thin layer of froth. It's for when kids play shop. I used to mock up large cardboard boxes as washing machines and stoves for my kids to play house. It's an in house joke about how early the shops put out hot cross buns for easter, like shops start selling christmas stuff three months out. Way too much vegemite (hate the stuff). We have some of the best food in the world. And what the f is gravy day ...
Have always asked for flat white no sugar in our cafes and pubs since the 70's, Adelaide Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family and friends.
Sad about Lunig. Didn't even know he was Aussie. And John Marsden, oh no! A bad day. Both total legends. Perth was 40.5c today, 105f. Should be cool by Christmas tho.
I was driving home tonight and admiring the Christmas lights along the way. Most of them had a nativity scene included and I was really pleased to see people acknowledging the REAL reason for Christmas! Santa has nothing to do with it. It’s not his birthday!
@@Jeni10 Santa Claus is a Dutch interpretation of Saint Nicholas, who is widely celebrated in some European countries and is known for distributing gifts to people in need. He lived during the late Roman Empire. The guy in the red suit is Coca Cola’s advertising department’s version of St Nick or Santa Claus, and artists who have illustrated the poem ‘Twas the Night before Christmas’.
@ I know about St Nicholas, I’m Catholic. I celebrate Jesus’ Birth, and while I do give gifts, I don’t celebrate Santa as a secular object. St Nicholas understands.
Pretty sure I remember "flat whites" being standard in many Melb'n' CBD and suburban cafes by 1982, this was prior to our coffee fetish faze really kicking in (1990s?) and it was to cater to people more used to drinking tea or instant coffee with some milk . . . pretty sure it was looked down on originally. Not being a milk drinker, I prefer a double espresso straight up.
Tiny pringles - I guess it's the usual, same as chocolate bars: they shrink the chocolate bars as the prices of the ingredients rise, then bring out a "new, double size" bar and reprice.
I’m from NY and the coffee in the US is awful! Starbucks always tastes like the beans are burnt. It started getting better when the Aussies came to NYC and opened up some cafes & started making good coffee. I live in Melbourne, Australia and flat whites are very popular here. It’s like a latte, but the froth isn’t too foamy. Coffee is an art here and has been since I moved here 25 years ago. Every cafe has a good espresso machine and a barista to make your usually beautifully decorated coffee. Even McDonald’s serves barista coffee.
In Perth we are in a heat wave, average about 37C, Sunday Monday 39C each, ends Monday, Xmas and Boxing supposed to 22C, that is unheard of, believe it when I see it. Bastard is not a swear word, it is common English, but context of course matters.
Re Pringles and why didn't Malysia just use the same machinery and size as the American Pringles, well that's a pretty easy question to answer; making smaller Pringles increases profit margins, although at Coles and Woolies they cost $Au5 which is marginally less expensive than America.

the tree hanger's taking things just a bit too seriously
Those are collectors items. It's expresso and steamed milk and a very thin layer of froth. It's for when kids play shop. I used to mock up large cardboard boxes as washing machines and stoves for my kids to play house. It's an in house joke about how early the shops put out hot cross buns for easter, like shops start selling christmas stuff three months out. Way too much vegemite (hate the stuff). We have some of the best food in the world. And what the f is gravy day ...
102°Fahrenheit 39° Celsius 2 days ago. That freezer with the ice looked very inviting
I was about to comment that you didn’t mention gravy day and then you did! Phew! Happy gravy day to you too 💜
Someone stole thousands of those coins and put them into circulation. Wasn’t meant to happen.
Have always asked for flat white no sugar in our cafes and pubs since the 70's, Adelaide
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family and friends.
Lived in Australia 74 years & never heard of Gravy day or the song. Every year they invent new "old traditions" .
Sydney cafe owner Alan Preston invented the term in 1985. An italian man came up with the latte.
I remember flat white back in the 80s my girlfriend drank them and yes Sydney
The Vegemite was just right for me 😊.
Sad about Lunig. Didn't even know he was Aussie. And John Marsden, oh no! A bad day. Both total legends. Perth was 40.5c today, 105f. Should be cool by Christmas tho.
Not cool here in Melbourne on the 25th - 33C😮
40 today 104 central wheat belt WA
Irish: We have had Flat White Coffee before Saint Patrick
was it made of snake venom?
I was driving home tonight and admiring the Christmas lights along the way. Most of them had a nativity scene included and I was really pleased to see people acknowledging the REAL reason for Christmas! Santa has nothing to do with it. It’s not his birthday!
My family happily celebrate the culture phenomenon of "Chrismas" (notice no "T") with no religion involved.
@@Jeni10 Santa Claus is a Dutch interpretation of Saint Nicholas, who is widely celebrated in some European countries and is known for distributing gifts to people in need. He lived during the late Roman Empire. The guy in the red suit is Coca Cola’s advertising department’s version of St Nick or Santa Claus, and artists who have illustrated the poem ‘Twas the Night before Christmas’.
@ I know about St Nicholas, I’m Catholic. I celebrate Jesus’ Birth, and while I do give gifts, I don’t celebrate Santa as a secular object. St Nicholas understands.
Happy Festivus
We watch the humidity as much as the temperature here.
If you buy from the states it’ll be half the listed price (approximately) so $10 Australian is roughly $5 US
I didn't know John Marsden died 😢. RIP
I met him a few times and he was a Top bloke. That sux!
And Pringles are pissing me off lately too🤬
Pretty sure I remember "flat whites" being standard in many Melb'n' CBD and suburban cafes by 1982, this was prior to our coffee fetish faze really kicking in (1990s?) and it was to cater to people more used to drinking tea or instant coffee with some milk . . . pretty sure it was looked down on originally. Not being a milk drinker, I prefer a double espresso straight up.
Flat white is a normal coffee with milk serving in the 60s
MY LORD 5:34 IS DANGAR FALLS, I LIVE IN DORRIGO!!
Happy Gravy Day to you and yours Ryan.♥️
46c last Tuesday. 119f to you. Appalling day. Christmas day only 37c thank God. A cool change. But boxing day up to 42c again. Gotta love Mildura.
Tiny pringles - I guess it's the usual, same as chocolate bars: they shrink the chocolate bars as the prices of the ingredients rise, then bring out a "new, double size" bar and reprice.
A few days ago it was 108° F in western Sydney.
@10:00
1. How's your accent?
2. The Vegemite ratio is spot on. Maybe a little lite if it's toast and butter.
I’m always amazed just how strange us Aussies must sound, every time I hear a Merican attempt to speak with an Aussie accent 😂😂
There is now a Movie named 'How to Make Gravy' based on the Song just released in OZ. There is a small Cameo by The Man Himself.
That's bullshit I was a having a flat white back in 1982 in Kings Cross whilst stationed at HMAS Kuttabul its just black coffee with milk.
I’m from NY and the coffee in the US is awful! Starbucks always tastes like the beans are burnt. It started getting better when the Aussies came to NYC and opened up some cafes & started making good coffee. I live in Melbourne, Australia and flat whites are very popular here. It’s like a latte, but the froth isn’t too foamy. Coffee is an art here and has been since I moved here 25 years ago. Every cafe has a good espresso machine and a barista to make your usually beautifully decorated coffee. Even McDonald’s serves barista coffee.
Aussies love tex mex food, not authentic Mexican food. My daughter wants to go to every Tex Mex restaurant in the US we come across
In Perth we are in a heat wave, average about 37C, Sunday Monday 39C each, ends Monday, Xmas and Boxing supposed to 22C, that is unheard of, believe it when I see it. Bastard is not a swear word, it is common English, but context of course matters.
Going to be 44c in Toodyay, just east of Perth tomorrow..
37 in Adelaide xmas day. 98.7 Fahrenheit
Way too much vegemite. I'm 66 and I wouldn't eat that much on toast! 🙄
Me neither, but my daughter likes it *just* like that pic.
@judithstrachan9399 just goes to show we are all different. 🤷♀️
flat white used to be cold milk in a long black, basically the opposite ratio to a cappuccino
apparently our pizza sux according to American I know, but I reckon they've been going to wrong place lol
Caffelatte is coffee and milk in Italian which Italian have in the morning.
Re Pringles and why didn't Malysia just use the same machinery and size as the American Pringles, well that's a pretty easy question to answer; making smaller Pringles increases profit margins, although at Coles and Woolies they cost $Au5 which is marginally less expensive than America.
