Welcome to Queensland, and yes it gets hot. It is not the heat but the humidity that kills you and as you are up north you will have tropical weather. Remember to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
Maybe not in Queensland, though :) Melbourne and Sydney, very different stories :) Although I will say I would love to see a Waffle House in Australia... weird, I know :)
In the tropical north, its best to forget about winter, spring, summer and autumn. It's a monsoon climate so most folk will talk about "the dry, the build-up, and the wet" seasons. Temperature doesn't change that much, but the humidity and rainfall/storm activity certainly do. The least pleasant season for most is the buildup, when it's really humid and often overcast, but with little or no storm activity or rainfall to cool things down.
@@lifeoftylerwilliams its bloody hot up here mate. 😁 im in townsville north Queensland. I think youre in mackay. I like mackay better as it gets more rain than we do in Brownsville (lol Townsville). Wait for Jan, Feb, March .... yuck. You want to cool off head up to Eungella National Park, cooler in the mountains and you should be able to see Platypus there
As an anglo aussie I have lived and worked in the US, UK, Malaysia and Indonesia. I have also spent quite a bit of time in China and Japan. Superficially Australia and America have some similarities but the cultural differences are also significant. To be frank I felt just as much at home in Indonesia and China where the folks have a happy outlook on life. Not so much in the US where foreign to me, existential angst runs deep. Essentially, too many folks there talk obnoxiously to one and other and apparently hate their fellow countrymen to the extent they feel they have to arm themselves to the teeth and are apparently happy to take potshots at one and other. Its weird.
couldn’t agree more! have had the same experience in other countries, where as in the US it’s me vs world attitude. always refreshing to experience else!
I’m always fascinated that few of these culture comparisons ever mention our kids go to their first 12 years of school and never hear of a lockdown or active shooter drill.
Food here we can have everything here. You might not have as much as your up in north Queensland. In the major cities as Sydney and Melbourne youll find what ever you feel like to eat.
To be fair, I live in a little rural town, we have 2 Indian places, 2 sushi restaurants, 1 Philippineo place, multiple fish and chip shops, and a kebab shop. I don't even feel the need to consider fast food, ever.
North Queensland is full tropical climate, the Tropic of Capricorn goes through north Queensland. In the northern hemisphere it would be like living in Guatemala (a similar distance from the equator to North Queensland). Australia is a huge country the weather is quite different in other parts of the continent.
With respect man, this is Australia, yes it's different to the U.S.A. Please think about what you are commenting on, a lot of people have got it covered in the comments and to your credit you have left them up, positive and negative. Please don't reinforce the stereotype that Americans are dumb, we are starting to believe it's true. Having to explain that Australia is in the southern hemisphere, seriously, Americans wouldn't know that ?? By the way I don't think Americans are dumb, they just have no idea about the rest of the world, you've just had the world series in base ball, how is that the world series ? I'm glad you like AFL but this summer we are part of a truly world game, cricket, India and Pakistan are touring Australia. Cricket has a worldwide fanbase of 2.5 billion, Now that makes baseball look like the minor sport that it is. No malice intended in my comments it' just that it's about time Americans started realising the they aren't the centre of the universe. Thanks for your channel, I hope you enjoy your stay.
trust me my guy, i wish i didn’t have to break it down that far, but i can’t tell you the amount of times i have to answer these questions for people back home.. i’m still warming up to cricket, but AFL is legit! appreciate the notes!
@@lifeoftylerwilliams Fair comment TW, it is a video of the differences after all, we just get a little surprised at how little Americans of the rest of the world. Stick with the cricket it's worth getting to know, I'm biased but I think we are lucky enough to have the best two games in the world AFL and cricket, although some in Queensland and NSW may disagree about AFL. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
@@lifeoftylerwilliams The more Americans that travel overseas the better. They will return to the US with a vastly improved knowledge of the world outside their borders. And be able to educate domestic US residents thinking about taking the plunge travelling outside North America. Congrats on your coral trout. You must have been stoked.
@@ChristopherJewels 100% agree! traveling is a privilege most people write off. i’ve been blessed to do it for a career. the coral trout was top tier! appreciate the support!
honestly australia doesn’t like american tourists all too much but it’s only bc of stereotypes of u guys being loud and obnoxious, but u seem like a genuinely pleasant person to be around! best of luck mate!
@ may i ask if ur australian and if ur above ur 30s? bc i’ve noticed most ppl above 30 say that exact thing bout americans when most people find them loud and inconsiderate of their surroundings in public
@@mariazz_love I'm Australian and have encountered loads of American tourists over the years. I'm yet to meet one who fits the so called stereotype. Wouldn't the opinion of people over 30 be more accurate since they have more life experience? btw, ask the Balinese or Thai people what they think of Australian tourists.
@ woah it’s actually kinda cool that u bring up thai people bc i lived there for 3 and a bit years, my friends (who i still talk too) never had an issue with me? i’ve only encountered very few americans as we dont get many tourists as i’m from far north queensland but the ones i have seen r quite loud, no drought they r some of the nicest and friendliest ppl tho! also i say over 30 bc i have noticed that they seem to have a diff opinion and that’s perfectly okay to have a different opinion haha
aussie has been very welcoming to me so far! if you appreciate the people and culture while traveling i find it’s usually reciprocated! thanks for the comment and support!
Slang can be different depending on your state too. I've left QLD in 06 and still get laughed at when i used words that i grew up using like popper for juice box and nikko for permanent marker. Oh another is togs for bathing suit.
Excellent advice, Tyler. Best of luck to you. We'd love to see some sight-seeing vids, even if it's just your park walk. We want to check out some of those Queensland critters! Fun fact: My work colleague is a teacher here in Perth, but she is originally from Mackay.
@@KenshinPhoenix Czech beers are even better than German beer. Staropramen was great. Tooheys Light in north eastern NSW was okay. The water used to bottle beer has a lot to do with the taste. Obviously water straight off the Alps will give better beer than the hard water from the Warragamba or Wivenhoe Dams. I tried Staropramen bottled in Romania and it wasn't as good as I remembered it in Czech Republic.
@@barnowl. ahahahaha mate I lived in that tip for 24 years. It was a stain before the pandemic now it’s a full log ahahaha enjoy your debt and 50 days of sun per year
@@Rjmartin7 Oh - so nasty ! Says a lot about your personality. Haven't you noticed with climate change that Victoria is going sub-tropical ! ? I have a tropical garden in Melbourne. The city of Melbourne is the most growing, populous city which means more money is coming in. It's doing OK. We may have gone into extra debt during the Co-Vid pandemic but that was to SAVE LIVES ! Also, the Big Build had been costly but is future-proofing the city and state. By your negative, caustic tone of comment, you likely wouldn't CARE about that !
Spent a lot of my childhood in north QLD. The humidity sucks. I also lived in MT Isa clise to the border of NT. It gets to 45 degrees in Summer. I tell ya dry heat is so much better than humidity. Now live on the Wheatbelt in WA love the weather here wet winters dry summers. We also have a huge Asian population in my closest big town and the food variety is amazing if you want Asian cuisine even at the supermarket. Different towns in Australia had different ethical people move their far north qld had a huge Italian population and so the Italian food options are great in those places.
My local parkland in Melbourne has snake warnings for walkers but I have never seen one 🤷♀️ and the spiders can’t chase you so I don’t freak out, I just get my husband to remove them.
@ I do know that as a child I “thought” I saw a snake once and I ran like hell, but the bites I have heard about (on the TV) have been when someone stepped on a snake or walked too close. Up there in the tropics there are way more critters than down here in suburban Melbourne. It is really rare to die from a snake bite these days. My son-in-law and my grandson were walking beside the water at Port Douglas (north of you) when the fishermen on the wharf started yelling at them that there was a salt water crocodile submerged in the water only a meter away from them … now that was scary. Love the north but couldn’t live there in the Wet Season with cyclones and flooding. Looking forward to Summer down here with our 30+ C sunny dry days.
Welcome to Australia! You couldn’t have picked a better state to move to! Please don’t stress about any of the asshats I’m seeing needlessly picking on you in the comments section. It’s totally fine for you to comment on stuff, like there not being much fast food or dining options in your area. I agree. I’ve lived in plenty of similar areas in QLD, and eating out just wasn’t something people did much, it only really becomes a thing when you get close to the city, which most people don’t. People would get food out on a Sunday, at the market. Hot jam doughnuts and cola on a Sunday was a big deal for us. Anyway, I loved hearing your take, and I’m so happy for you that you decided to move here, you’re going to have so much fun! Thanks for sharing, have a good one!
I don’t understand why driving on the opposite side of the road is a problem. I always found if you don’t think in terms of left and right but think I keep the side of the car on am sitting while driving toward the middle of the road then I have no problem changing quickly.
You live in North Queensland which means you either live in a small town or a small city like Mackay or Townsville. You can't compare the food options in a small city or town to a big city like Houston or Dallas.
Hope you enjoy your time here in Australia mate... From an Aussie perspective one small (yet interesting) culture shock I noticed the 1st time I visited the US was around basic etiquette when walking past/getting in the way of a passerby... In Australia if you accidentally walked in front of someone or got in the way of someone momentarily the common thing to say is, "I'm sorry" or "sorry mate" which would result in a simple "all good" etc... but when I would do the same in the US my "oops sorry", I would get responses like I was apologising for something and not just using casual etiquette for getting in the way. They found my "oh sorry" a strange response like I would find their "excuse me" when an American would do the same, because in Australia an 'excuse me" is not generally used as a friendly gesture but something you would say to someone when you are upset or angered by something lol. Just a little culture difference I noticed. Regarding ypur comments about the weather here in Australia, the reason why the heat has been noticeable for you is mostly because you are coming from winter in the US to the cusp of our summer, if you spent a decent amount of time here you will notice depending where you are here in Australia would be comparable to where you lived in the USA, only our winters here are alot warmer than what you would experienced in TX, in Sydney where I live winter average is around 60⁰F and summer 95⁰F
We have Rugby union and theres Rugby League. Similar games but yet they are totally different games. Americans always think its just Rugby whichnit aint.
Am I seeing things in that 2nd opening take back to the girl driving? if she's doing what looks like she is doing , I would be editing that out of your vid asap.
I visited Savannah in Georgia USA and the weather was similar to townsville, north QLD. Welcome! It does get cooler in May to August. Visit Airlie and the Whitsunday islands, and also the Atherton Tablelands that have waterfalls, swimming holes and rainforest. I enjoyed your video. Let us know about your career highlights and also about where you came from.
So, Melbourne is very New York/Boston/ Philly. Queensland is very California/Florida. Sydney is very LA with a New York/Chicago flair. You want good food? Come to Melbourne! (We do have similarities… of the weirdest kinds. I’m of Southern Italian heritage and we completely understand ‘black people time’ lol… always running late. First time I heard that, I said ‘oh my people! They get it!) 😛 I don’t have snakes in my garden darl… red back spiders are a bitch though! 😫 our dollar value depends on the greenback but your $10 is $6.50 for us! As long as you’re not exchanging money things are fairly priced. Aussie shorten words cos it’s lazy slanguage😜 Maccas mate… MACCAS! McDonalds 🍟🍔 Hope you enjoy our beautiful country - our people are a bloody ripper! ♥️😁
Qld isn't as multicultural as Melbourne or Sydney, so you might not see the same variety of cuisines up there. (That said, there are a lot of ppl of Italian descent in north Qld, so they have a thriving culture of their own.) The humidity in north Qld is a killer; takes a long time to get used to it. I went to uni up there but can't handle any humidity now! As for the slang, you'll pick it up with time, no wukkas 😅
Coastal counties of the U.S. are home to 129 million people, or almost 40 percent of the nation's total population, yet the coast accounts for less than 10 percent of the nation's land mass (excluding Alaska).
fairly noted! but still have a decent population scattered through the mid and southwest of the US & in most parts doesn’t breed the same culture that australia has! usa lifestyle is definitely more sedentary, while australia, from my experience loves to be outdoors! which is a great lifestyle to live!
How ya goin? Welcome to Spring. It’s great up in Nth Qld. It’s the humidity that’s tough to handle. Isn’t Texas a hot dry summer climate. You’ll enjoy our winter. Who you playing for? Don’t be worried about Snakes or spiders as they won’t bite unless you touch them. You probably heard lizards wrestling in the leaves. 😂 Enjoy our part of Oz mate. Later 🥵
Hope you get to Cairns and further up north to the Daintree Rainforest at some point. You’d both really enjoy it. Daintree is supposed to be the oldest rainforest in the world. Just don’t go into the Daintree River it’s full of crocodiles. Don’t know if you’re into tropical fruits but now is the season for mangoes, lychees and other fruits - and being in northern Queensland means you get them fresher and cheaper than what you can in the southern parts of the country.
Welcome to Australia, to you and your lovely. Keep experiencing, looking, tasting, mingle, explore……a positive demeanour develops postive opinions. Enjoy, settle in…..goodonyamate, cheers 🍻.
Food options depend on the town you are in - the smaller the fewer options. Makay isn't a massive town, but they do have that Indian Fusion restaurant that is great.
great video! :) just regarding the "snake in the bushes" i think someone might be having a laugh with you over that one. sure, there are snakes in australia - but you'll rarely encounter them.. especially in built-up areas. ive lived in australia for 40 years in lots of different types of locations and have never seen one in person (except at the zoo). i think americans have an over-the-top fear of our wildlife.. because very few people die from animals in australia compared to the US each year. most of the time, these can be avoided using common sense. if you are going in water that isn't in the ocean though.. it's always best to ask a local person about if there's anything you should be wary of. some parts of australia for instance have crocodiles in waterways in the north of the country. enjoy your time in australia! :)
30c in north qld is not the same as 30c here in victoria... the humidity, vs dry down here. you cant get rid of perspiration. also.. the norths wet season is brewing, meaning more moisture in the air. as for our wild life, we aussies love to watch tourists shit them selves because they have watched years and years of being told everything here wants to kill you. statistics say different. youll be right old mate, embrace your time here, and follow advice, you will be fine.
This would have to be a first. The basketball court is just around the corner from where I live. Hope u are enjoying living in MKY bit hot here at the moment. 😊
Not everyone uses terms like mate or brekkie...I know plenty of people that have never used any of those terms...Qld gets vey humid, but speaking of humid, Sydney is crazy humid, as I speak...You will find Melbourne and Tasmania are more temperate climates, as Im sure youve heard...Like someone else mentioned, hydralite is the thing if youre exercising in the humidity.
Melbourne does get humid, just not as often. The last few day as have been insanely humid…so much so that it’s all everyone is talking about when making small talk in stores and such. We’re sooking about it because we’re not used to it 😅
North Queensland is one of the hottest parts of Australia, it gets very humid in summer , try going to another state ,to see the difference ! , Melbourne for instance has four seasons , it gets cold in winter ,but never snows ! As for food , you will find the best restaurants in Melbourne and they are not all expensive ,Australia has a better cuisine than USA , we don’t have all the fast food outlets as USA , which is a good thing !
@@TheDegan79 😂 not all the time , it’s better than living in humidity everyday , which I have experienced Actually,the best climate in Oz is Western Australia, they have a dry heat , although it gets very hot , you will never get humidity , sadly ,NSW upwards is very humid in summer
@@marilynrodgerson3331 I'm in Newcastle... Humidity here is a killer at times. I have worked with people from Brisbane and they can't handle the humidity here. They don't understand how it could be more humid than Brisbane? It's just what the Hunter Valley does? Get on the other side of the Dividing Ranges and it's back to dry heat. I can always smell the sea and humidity coming back up over those hills.
Cairns / Townsville (17 degrees south to 19 degrees south) is about the same latitude as Jamaica and Puerto Rico. Brownsville TX 25.9 north is about the same latitude as Gympie / Maryborough in South Qld 25/26 degrees south. I've been to El Paso TX so I was curious how the climate / geography compares with the Carribean. Brisbane is 27/28 degrees south. About the same latitude as Jacksonville FLA & Corpus Christi TX. Gold Coast is 29 S. Grafton is 30 degrees South. Wish I had've had more time in Texas, but the USA is huge like Australia and it's impossible to see it all in just 4 weeks. So I headed back to Tucson, LA, Yosemite & San Francisco for my flight to Hawaii & back to Brisbane.
i’ve been to the caribbean! very comparable to north QLD climates! i would really say it’s very similar to florida from what i’ve experienced so far! maybe even a little hotter! texas is great! definitely have to plan that for the next trip to the states! just be careful to not get hooked on the fried food feast haha!
@@lifeoftylerwilliamsyou just shake/ tap firmlyvthe open part of your shoe upside down and the Huntsman like run out quick smart. They are more scared of you than you are of them.
American living in australia too. Just don’t get too successful or brag, Aussies FREAk out and then the knives come out. Read on tall poppy syndrome. Huge struggle of Americans in Australia and it’s reallllly scary. You don’t even it realise it for years.
@@GGora fair enough! i find most people don’t enjoy a brag regardless of where they are from! success is relative, my goal is to enjoy my own journey! thanks for the comment & support!!
@@lifeoftylerwilliamsno , to Aussies, brag is normal American conversation. They really have an issue w anyone standing out, even if the person is on a wheelchair and because of it “ stands out”. Read on tall poppy syndrome. It’s very subtle and British, you won’t see it coming. If Aussies told you “ interesting” , it means “ it’s NOT”. You’ll see. If you are talking to them and they leave or act odd or never respond to you online: 100% chance you said something that felt arrogant, Braggy, or too confident. They don’t like “ confidence”. Being sure. Being on top of things and ambitious and wanting to climb etc etc. huge NO NO here. That American go getter confidence isn’t appreciated in Australia and it makes people very uncomfortable. Now, my experience is mainly Sydney and in upper circles. But I’ve heard it is quite common. Just test this. Talk about your big achievements in life, many will leave as you’re talking, few will say “ interesting” , then they change the conversation. And you’ll never hear from then or see them anywhere. They’ll avoid you like a bad smell. I’ve tested it all. It’s 180 to American behaviour. Really, 180.
@@lifeoftylerwilliamsa whole bunch of Americans have written about this. An American podcaster recently wrote an article re this issue. Many Aussies actually leave as a result of this tall poppy stuff bc they can’t accomplish and achieve big dreams at all. My Aussie husband was one of them and he made it big in America. We returned here to raise our family and mostly retire already having achieved all we wanted in America. Great place for that. But to make it here is ULTRA difficult if of lack of support system. Culturally, you won’t get support from ANY ONE, not only that, they’d go out of their ways to cut you down, bring you down, constantly. I mean, constantly. So you don’t grow. It’s 180 to American mindset and culture and American dream stuff. Be aware of this. It’s very very very subtle and invisible.
Yeah North Queensland ain’t exactly the most cosmopolitan spot in the world. If you want diversity in food options go to one of the bigger population centres…Melb, Sydney, Brisbane etc….you will find just about anything. Especially amazing Asian and Middle Eastern. Not many pumpkin spiced lattes though….thankfully!
Well another thing is in QLD, You can be fined $1,209 and have 4 demerit points recorded against your traffic history for using a mobile phone illegally while driving. And you posted this while breaking the road rules
Hiya, liked and subscribed from Adelaide, South Australia (a convict free State haha) 4:00 Ive been told a good comparison of Aussies, is Aussies are like Canadians who lives in California.. haha..
welcome cus, wait till it starts raining Ha ha ha. They teach us in school to be athletic, so we can out run the crocs and the roos. No thank giving .. Do not celebrate republicanism either. You have to take up cricket . we are world champions at it. GOOD LUCK mate
Australians socialise, Americans don't. Just look at towns and cities in the States, deserted, main streets, parks, deserted. Shopping malls, closed or deserted. Judging by the obese problem, where else would you see a show called "my 600lb life", seems life is lived with a keyboard and couch. As for food, huge offerings from around the world if you go to Melbourne, where you can find quality and good prices. Enjoy your time here.
Fresh fruit and vegetables available everywhere. Stop buying take out/fast foods full of artificial colour, flavouring, preservatives. Kangaroo meat, beef, lamb...your body and performance levels will thank you. Being on time is a basic aspect of respect. 😂😂
definitely agree on the food tabs! we work a bit different when it comes to social gatherings haha. definitely on time when it comes to the business side of things
@lifeoftylerwilliams roo meat has only 2% fat and twice the iron content of beef, and three times more than chicken or pork. Roos are booming in numbers. Try it u might like it if you cook it correctly.
I don't know if you don't know, but you know, but, just gotta get in some shots, but so, just in the gym, but that's coming from me, so, it's messin' with my head, you know, but, I guess, yeah? we gotta get it sorted, yes, like, it's not gonna cut it for me, but it's cool, but, so, like yeah... 😀
definitely not looking for american cuisine! enjoying the different eats and really appreciate the healthier options in aus! really love the asian influence!
when saying rugby please say which rugby because we have two sports called rugby which are rugby union and rugby league if you say rugby most of my fellow Australian will assume you are talking about rugby union always say either rugby for union or rugby league when referring to rugby league
american holidays! similar to aussie day for fourth of july. thanksgiving is a very controversial holiday but more less is a big feast with loved ones!
That could be a mistake to pick up the pace when you hear rustling in the undergrowth. Far better to stand still and let whatever it is get away, cos that what its trying to do. It is almost certainly not coming after you! More than likely a lizard by the way.
Northern Qld in no comparison to larger cities. Melbourne has some of the best food in the world and Australia has some of the most multicultural food options in the world. Please do not compare food options up there to the whole of Australia. Sounds like you have no ide to be honest. Explore Australia and our food quality compared to America is no comparison.
America has thousands off mass school shootings. Australia has zero that’s right. You don’t have to tip in Australia. But America you have to tip everthing that’s so stupid. Because you get paid more in Australia. Get a good job or study. And you will be fine it’s called common sense. It gets hot here I love the hot weather I live. In surface. Paradise on the Gold Coast my front door is the beach. Good luck enjoy if you don’t like Australia you can go back to America. It’s all about what makes you happy mate. Enjoy
I'd rather you concentrate on driving. Your full attention needs to be on safe driving. This was scary to watch. Otherwise, thank you for the insight. ...and yes, Queensland is Florida hot.
Welcome to Queensland, and yes it gets hot. It is not the heat but the humidity that kills you and as you are up north you will have tropical weather.
Remember to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
you are not wrong! thanks for the advice!
Consider buying some Hydralite. It helps to maintain/restore your hydralytes that are sweated and lost in the humidity/heat. Qld gets Hot!
I have spent half my life ( 35 years) travelling to & from AUS to US. and I can tell u now the range of food is way better than in the US.
yeah, good to know! look forward to finding the best dishes!!
Maybe not in Queensland, though :) Melbourne and Sydney, very different stories :) Although I will say I would love to see a Waffle House in Australia... weird, I know :)
Why on earth would you want to eat crap food? And there are plenty of fast healthy options. Go to any Vietnamese place and grab a Pho or Bahn Mee!
in the states it’s more of a choice of convenience! more fatty options than healthy! but definitely appreciate the eats down here!
The cluelessness of American tourists is astounding.

the coral trout was top tier! appreciate the support!
honestly australia doesn’t like american tourists all too much but it’s only bc of stereotypes of u guys being loud and obnoxious, but u seem like a genuinely pleasant person to be around!
best of luck mate!
American tourists are actually among the most polite and respectful of all the tourists that come to Australia. They're also the friendliest.
@ may i ask if ur australian and if ur above ur 30s? bc i’ve noticed most ppl above 30 say that exact thing bout americans when most people find them loud and inconsiderate of their surroundings in public
@@mariazz_love I'm Australian and have encountered loads of American tourists over the years. I'm yet to meet one who fits the so called stereotype. Wouldn't the opinion of people over 30 be more accurate since they have more life experience? btw, ask the Balinese or Thai people what they think of Australian tourists.
@ woah it’s actually kinda cool that u bring up thai people bc i lived there for 3 and a bit years, my friends (who i still talk too) never had an issue with me? i’ve only encountered very few americans as we dont get many tourists as i’m from far north queensland but the ones i have seen r quite loud, no drought they r some of the nicest and friendliest ppl tho! also i say over 30 bc i have noticed that they seem to have a diff opinion and that’s perfectly okay to have a different opinion haha
aussie has been very welcoming to me so far! if you appreciate the people and culture while traveling i find it’s usually reciprocated! thanks for the comment and support!
Slang can be different depending on your state too. I've left QLD in 06 and still get laughed at when i used words that i grew up using like popper for juice box and nikko for permanent marker. Oh another is togs for bathing suit.
haha definitely taking some getting used to! but it’s always fun to hear the different dialect!
Excellent advice, Tyler. Best of luck to you. We'd love to see some sight-seeing vids, even if it's just your park walk. We want to check out some of those Queensland critters! Fun fact: My work colleague is a teacher here in Perth, but she is originally from Mackay.
really appreciate the support & feedback! got something right up your alley for the next video! coming soon👀👀
Speaking of food, don't forget to try some fresh mudcrab, coral trout, barramundi, red emperor & prawns, washed down with a cold beer.
noted! check out my great barrier reef video, to catch me reel in my first coral trout! was delicious!
Except our beers are all garbage, except maybe Tooheys extra dry. German beers are far superior to our crap lol.
@@KenshinPhoenix Czech beers are even better than German beer. Staropramen was great. Tooheys Light in north eastern NSW was okay. The water used to bottle beer has a lot to do with the taste. Obviously water straight off the Alps will give better beer than the hard water from the Warragamba or Wivenhoe Dams. I tried Staropramen bottled in Romania and it wasn't as good as I remembered it in Czech Republic.
Welcome mate - you'll get there - Australia is a pretty forgiving place even with multiple species out to get you lol Great video.
appreciate it! loving Aus so far! thanks for the support!
U need to visit Melbourne it shocks most people about our food culture and we don’t need to eat so much fast food. We have great cheaper options
definitely at the top of my list! heard great things about the city!
Melbourne is the skid mark on Australia
@@Rjmartin7 Your jealousy of Melbourne is your curse.
@@barnowl. ahahahaha mate I lived in that tip for 24 years. It was a stain before the pandemic now it’s a full log ahahaha enjoy your debt and 50 days of sun per year
@@Rjmartin7 Oh - so nasty ! Says a lot about your personality. Haven't you noticed with climate change that Victoria is going sub-tropical ! ? I have a tropical garden in Melbourne. The city of Melbourne is the most growing, populous city which means more money is coming in. It's doing OK. We may have gone into extra debt during the Co-Vid pandemic but that was to SAVE LIVES ! Also, the Big Build had been costly but is future-proofing the city and state. By your negative, caustic tone of comment, you likely wouldn't CARE about that !
Welcome to Australia, hope you enjoy your time here 😊

Welcome to Australia Tyler have a great summer ☀️ 😊
thanks ! appreciate the support!
Spent a lot of my childhood in north QLD. The humidity sucks. I also lived in MT Isa clise to the border of NT. It gets to 45 degrees in Summer. I tell ya dry heat is so much better than humidity. Now live on the Wheatbelt in WA love the weather here wet winters dry summers.
We also have a huge Asian population in my closest big town and the food variety is amazing if you want Asian cuisine even at the supermarket. Different towns in Australia had different ethical people move their far north qld had a huge Italian population and so the Italian food options are great in those places.
good to know!!
My local parkland in Melbourne has snake warnings for walkers but I have never seen one 🤷♀️ and the spiders can’t chase you so I don’t freak out, I just get my husband to remove them.
@@judileeming1589 i’ve seen a handful of snakes already! wildlife up here in QLD is no joke!😂
@ I do know that as a child I “thought” I saw a snake once and I ran like hell, but the bites I have heard about (on the TV) have been when someone stepped on a snake or walked too close. Up there in the tropics there are way more critters than down here in suburban Melbourne. It is really rare to die from a snake bite these days. My son-in-law and my grandson were walking beside the water at Port Douglas (north of you) when the fishermen on the wharf started yelling at them that there was a salt water crocodile submerged in the water only a meter away from them … now that was scary. Love the north but couldn’t live there in the Wet Season with cyclones and flooding. Looking forward to Summer down here with our 30+ C sunny dry days.
@ definitely need to check it melbourne! always hear good things about it!
Welcome to Australia! You couldn’t have picked a better state to move to! Please don’t stress about any of the asshats I’m seeing needlessly picking on you in the comments section. It’s totally fine for you to comment on stuff, like there not being much fast food or dining options in your area. I agree. I’ve lived in plenty of similar areas in QLD, and eating out just wasn’t something people did much, it only really becomes a thing when you get close to the city, which most people don’t. People would get food out on a Sunday, at the market. Hot jam doughnuts and cola on a Sunday was a big deal for us.
Anyway, I loved hearing your take, and I’m so happy for you that you decided to move here, you’re going to have so much fun! Thanks for sharing, have a good one!
thanks for the comment! appreciate the support!
Going out for dinner in Australia, is very different. We don’t have to tip because their wages are sufficient, unlike in the US
yep! as it should be! us def needs to work on it smh
I don’t understand why driving on the opposite side of the road is a problem. I always found if you don’t think in terms of left and right but think I keep the side of the car on am sitting while driving toward the middle of the road then I have no problem changing quickly.
I am terrified of the thought of driving on the right 😲
not really to difficult, but is just a daily routine, that a lot of people find interesting!
There is so much to see in our amazing country. I’m in beautiful Melbourne, you will love it. So glad you are enjoying it here in Oz.
can’t wait to get down to Melbourne! thanks for watching and supporting!
You live in North Queensland which means you either live in a small town or a small city like Mackay or Townsville. You can't compare the food options in a small city or town to a big city like Houston or Dallas.
fair enough! took a trip to sydney recently, still a different type of variety, but definitely some great options!
Welcome to Australia. Hope you get to have a look around more of Queensland and other states. Tasmania is really a must visit if you get the chance. ❤
thanks for the support! will definitely have to get down that way! subscribe to the channel to keep up with all the adventures!
Hope you enjoy your time here in Australia mate... From an Aussie perspective one small (yet interesting) culture shock I noticed the 1st time I visited the US was around basic etiquette when walking past/getting in the way of a passerby...
In Australia if you accidentally walked in front of someone or got in the way of someone momentarily the common thing to say is, "I'm sorry" or "sorry mate" which would result in a simple "all good" etc...
but when I would do the same in the US my "oops sorry", I would get responses like I was apologising for something and not just using casual etiquette for getting in the way.
They found my "oh sorry" a strange response like I would find their "excuse me" when an American would do the same, because in Australia an 'excuse me" is not generally used as a friendly gesture but something you would say to someone when you are upset or angered by something lol. Just a little culture difference I noticed.
Regarding ypur comments about the weather here in Australia, the reason why the heat has been noticeable for you is mostly because you are coming from winter in the US to the cusp of our summer, if you spent a decent amount of time here you will notice depending where you are here in Australia would be comparable to where you lived in the USA, only our winters here are alot warmer than what you would experienced in TX, in Sydney where I live winter average is around 60⁰F and summer 95⁰F
yep, Americans don’t always have the best etiquette but i promise we aren’t all bad 😂 you’re right on the weather side of it! thanks for supporting!
Hi bro you playing 4 Townsville well done mate ill start watching your games bro just enjoy your time here cheers from Sydney
haven’t signed yet but you’ll definitely see me in NBL1 this season! thanks for the support!
We have Rugby union and theres Rugby League. Similar games but yet they are totally different games. Americans always think its just Rugby whichnit aint.
aussie rules AFL is my favorite at the moment! gotta get out to a game!
@@lifeoftylerwilliams North Queensland is rugby country. You need to get down to Melbourne to get into really strong AFL territory.
Am I seeing things in that 2nd opening take back to the girl driving? if she's doing what looks like she is doing , I would be editing that out of your vid asap.

@@waynefee1561 very happy to be here! not one complaint👏🏽
I visited Savannah in Georgia USA and the weather was similar to townsville, north QLD. Welcome! It does get cooler in May to August. Visit Airlie and the Whitsunday islands, and also the Atherton Tablelands that have waterfalls, swimming holes and rainforest. I enjoyed your video. Let us know about your career highlights and also about where you came from.
great ideas! will definitely work on that! appreciate the feedback & support!!
check out my latest video to see my latest adventure!
So, Melbourne is very New York/Boston/ Philly. Queensland is very California/Florida. Sydney is very LA with a New York/Chicago flair.
You want good food? Come to Melbourne! (We do have similarities… of the weirdest kinds. I’m of Southern Italian heritage and we completely understand ‘black people time’ lol… always running late. First time I heard that, I said ‘oh my people! They get it!) 😛
I don’t have snakes in my garden darl… red back spiders are a bitch though! 😫 our dollar value depends on the greenback but your $10 is $6.50 for us! As long as you’re not exchanging money things are fairly priced.
Aussie shorten words cos it’s lazy slanguage😜
Maccas mate… MACCAS! McDonalds 🍟🍔
Hope you enjoy our beautiful country - our people are a bloody ripper! ♥️😁
great feedback! appreciate it! thanks for watching!!
@@lifeoftylerwilliams thanks for posting. Hope you love it here 😊
Qld isn't as multicultural as Melbourne or Sydney, so you might not see the same variety of cuisines up there. (That said, there are a lot of ppl of Italian descent in north Qld, so they have a thriving culture of their own.) The humidity in north Qld is a killer; takes a long time to get used to it. I went to uni up there but can't handle any humidity now! As for the slang, you'll pick it up with time, no wukkas 😅
good stuff! will definitely get around some of the other cities soon! thanks for watching!!
Coastal counties of the U.S. are home to 129 million people, or almost 40 percent of the nation's total population, yet the coast accounts for less than 10 percent of the nation's land mass (excluding Alaska).
fairly noted! but still have a decent population scattered through the mid and southwest of the US & in most parts doesn’t breed the same culture that australia has! usa lifestyle is definitely more sedentary, while australia, from my experience loves to be outdoors! which is a great lifestyle to live!
North QLD in spring and summer is humid and hot AF. Like Miami, but hotter. You need to get down to Melbourne or Sydney.
QLD is definitely a different beast! definitely wanna explore some other big cities in AUS!
Rock the NBL Bro!👍🏻
Welcome to Oz!
Best regards

@@WMH-MUSIC cheers!! thanks for the support!
How ya goin? Welcome to Spring. It’s great up in Nth Qld. It’s the humidity that’s tough to handle. Isn’t Texas a hot dry summer climate. You’ll enjoy our winter. Who you playing for? Don’t be worried about Snakes or spiders as they won’t bite unless you touch them. You probably heard lizards wrestling in the leaves. 😂 Enjoy our part of Oz mate. Later 🥵
Hope you get to Cairns and further up north to the Daintree Rainforest at some point. You’d both really enjoy it. Daintree is supposed to be the oldest rainforest in the world. Just don’t go into the Daintree River it’s full of crocodiles.
Don’t know if you’re into tropical fruits but now is the season for mangoes, lychees and other fruits - and being in northern Queensland means you get them fresher and cheaper than what you can in the southern parts of the country.
got a nice surprise for ya in next video stay tuned!😉
definitely much better fruit & veg options down here
Atherton Tablelands is great place to visit too. Cooler in the mountains and lots of attractions and places for a swim
Hi Tyler, when do you guys start playing? My son has developed an interest in basketball so i want to take him to see some games. I live in Mackay.
the nbl1 season will gear up in late february or early march!! hope little man enjoys the comp!

Great video on your time here I hope you enjoy your time in oz. I really hope you get to see our country.
plan to be here for awhile so i will definitely do lots of exploring! thanks for the support!
Food options depend on the town you are in - the smaller the fewer options. Makay isn't a massive town, but they do have that Indian Fusion restaurant that is great.
very true, made a trip to sydney recently and found some great choices!
great video! :) just regarding the "snake in the bushes" i think someone might be having a laugh with you over that one. sure, there are snakes in australia - but you'll rarely encounter them.. especially in built-up areas. ive lived in australia for 40 years in lots of different types of locations and have never seen one in person (except at the zoo). i think americans have an over-the-top fear of our wildlife.. because very few people die from animals in australia compared to the US each year. most of the time, these can be avoided using common sense. if you are going in water that isn't in the ocean though.. it's always best to ask a local person about if there's anything you should be wary of. some parts of australia for instance have crocodiles in waterways in the north of the country. enjoy your time in australia! :)
yeah for sure! great advice! wildlife definitely isn’t as crazy as many people would think! thanks for the support!
We lived in Cairns for 18 months. Ten snake encounters.
Alice Springs is full of snakes and Americans.
@@lifeoftylerwilliams watch out for crocodiles and stingers. Read signs in nth qld, if in doubt dont get in the water
30c in north qld is not the same as 30c here in victoria... the humidity, vs dry down here. you cant get rid of perspiration. also.. the norths wet season is brewing, meaning more moisture in the air. as for our wild life, we aussies love to watch tourists shit them selves because they have watched years and years of being told everything here wants to kill you. statistics say different. youll be right old mate, embrace your time here, and follow advice, you will be fine.
definitely a different type of heat up north! humidity is tough! loving it here tho, def want to get out to victoria soon!
This would have to be a first. The basketball court is just around the corner from where I live. Hope u are enjoying living in MKY bit hot here at the moment. 😊

Have you noticed how small our portions are???
It's basically the reason we aren't so OBESE!!!
very true, a significant difference in size from the US!
most sport in Australia and New Zealand is UK influenced like Cricket, which is popular in every speaking country apart from US
Not everyone uses terms like mate or brekkie...I know plenty of people that have never used any of those terms...Qld gets vey humid, but speaking of humid, Sydney is crazy humid, as I speak...You will find Melbourne and Tasmania are more temperate climates, as Im sure youve heard...Like someone else mentioned, hydralite is the thing if youre exercising in the humidity.
Melbourne does get humid, just not as often. The last few day as have been insanely humid…so much so that it’s all everyone is talking about when making small talk in stores and such. We’re sooking about it because we’re not used to it 😅
You make a plethora of points. I reckon you're going great. Cheers mate.
North Queensland is one of the hottest parts of Australia, it gets very humid in summer , try going to another state ,to see the difference ! , Melbourne for instance has four seasons , it gets cold in winter ,but never snows ! As for food , you will find the best restaurants in Melbourne and they are not all expensive ,Australia has a better cuisine than USA , we don’t have all the fast food outlets as USA , which is a good thing !
definitely want to get around the other parts! will have to do more exploring! appreciate the advice & support!
Melbourne has 4 season in one day!
@@TheDegan79 😂 not all the time , it’s better than living in humidity everyday , which I have experienced
Actually,the best climate in Oz is Western Australia, they have a dry heat , although it gets very hot , you will never get humidity , sadly ,NSW upwards is very humid in summer
@@marilynrodgerson3331 I'm in Newcastle... Humidity here is a killer at times. I have worked with people from Brisbane and they can't handle the humidity here. They don't understand how it could be more humid than Brisbane? It's just what the Hunter Valley does? Get on the other side of the Dividing Ranges and it's back to dry heat. I can always smell the sea and humidity coming back up over those hills.
Very cool dude! Welcome to Oz
much appreciated! thanks for the support!
Please do come to Perth, and travel through this big beautiful state of Western Australia 💙
will definitely get over there eventually! heard great things about WA!
Sydney is the place to be for perfect weather, gets cold too , not too much
took a quick trip there a few weeks ago! will definitely be going back!
and also in Australia we prefer quality of food over quantity of fast food location and chains
for sure! it’s the way it should be! quality > quantity!
Cairns / Townsville (17 degrees south to 19 degrees south) is about the same latitude as Jamaica and Puerto Rico. Brownsville TX 25.9 north is about the same latitude as Gympie / Maryborough in South Qld 25/26 degrees south. I've been to El Paso TX so I was curious how the climate / geography compares with the Carribean. Brisbane is 27/28 degrees south. About the same latitude as Jacksonville FLA & Corpus Christi TX. Gold Coast is 29 S. Grafton is 30 degrees South. Wish I had've had more time in Texas, but the USA is huge like Australia and it's impossible to see it all in just 4 weeks. So I headed back to Tucson, LA, Yosemite & San Francisco for my flight to Hawaii & back to Brisbane.
i’ve been to the caribbean! very comparable to north QLD climates! i would really say it’s very similar to florida from what i’ve experienced so far! maybe even a little hotter! texas is great! definitely have to plan that for the next trip to the states! just be careful to not get hooked on the fried food feast haha!
Are you sure u don’t want to move back to the STATES

American living in australia too. Just don’t get too successful or brag, Aussies FREAk out and then the knives come out. Read on tall poppy syndrome. Huge struggle of Americans in Australia and it’s reallllly scary. You don’t even it realise it for years.
@@GGora fair enough! i find most people don’t enjoy a brag regardless of where they are from! success is relative, my goal is to enjoy my own journey! thanks for the comment & support!!
@@lifeoftylerwilliamsno , to Aussies, brag is normal American conversation. They really have an issue w anyone standing out, even if the person is on a wheelchair and because of it “ stands out”. Read on tall poppy syndrome. It’s very subtle and British, you won’t see it coming. If Aussies told you “ interesting” , it means “ it’s NOT”.
You’ll see. If you are talking to them and they leave or act odd or never respond to you online: 100% chance you said something that felt arrogant, Braggy, or too confident. They don’t like “ confidence”. Being sure. Being on top of things and ambitious and wanting to climb etc etc. huge NO NO here.
That American go getter confidence isn’t appreciated in Australia and it makes people very uncomfortable. Now, my experience is mainly Sydney and in upper circles. But I’ve heard it is quite common.
Just test this. Talk about your big achievements in life, many will leave as you’re talking, few will say “ interesting” , then they change the conversation. And you’ll never hear from then or see them anywhere. They’ll avoid you like a bad smell. I’ve tested it all. It’s 180 to American behaviour. Really, 180.
@@lifeoftylerwilliamsa whole bunch of Americans have written about this. An American podcaster recently wrote an article re this issue. Many Aussies actually leave as a result of this tall poppy stuff bc they can’t accomplish and achieve big dreams at all. My Aussie husband was one of them and he made it big in America. We returned here to raise our family and mostly retire already having achieved all we wanted in America. Great place for that. But to make it here is ULTRA difficult if of lack of support system. Culturally, you won’t get support from ANY ONE, not only that, they’d go out of their ways to cut you down, bring you down, constantly. I mean, constantly. So you don’t grow. It’s 180 to American mindset and culture and American dream stuff. Be aware of this. It’s very very very subtle and invisible.
AUSTRALIANS ARE EQUAL, DOSNT MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU EARN WE ARE ALL EQUAL, YEP WE DON'T LIKE BRAGGERS WE COULDN'T GIVE A SHIT if your rich
Yeah North Queensland ain’t exactly the most cosmopolitan spot in the world. If you want diversity in food options go to one of the bigger population centres…Melb, Sydney, Brisbane etc….you will find just about anything. Especially amazing Asian and Middle Eastern. Not many pumpkin spiced lattes though….thankfully!
yeah for sure! will definitely be getting to some of the other cities soon!!

Australians socialise, Americans don't. Just look at towns and cities in the States, deserted, main streets, parks, deserted. Shopping malls, closed or deserted. Judging by the obese problem, where else would you see a show called "my 600lb life", seems life is lived with a keyboard and couch. As for food, huge offerings from around the world if you go to Melbourne, where you can find quality and good prices. Enjoy your time here.
i agree! love the community culture in Aus!
more salt or vegemite in your diet for salt loss and step up water intake
still adjusting to vegemite😂 but definitely drinking lots of water!
Fresh fruit and vegetables available everywhere. Stop buying take out/fast foods full of artificial colour, flavouring, preservatives. Kangaroo meat, beef, lamb...your body and performance levels will thank you. Being on time is a basic aspect of respect. 😂😂
definitely agree on the food tabs! we work a bit different when it comes to social gatherings haha. definitely on time when it comes to the business side of things
kangaroo meat might be a bit of a reach for me😅
@lifeoftylerwilliams roo meat has only 2% fat and twice the iron content of beef, and three times more than chicken or pork. Roos are booming in numbers. Try it u might like it if you cook it correctly.

Northern Qld in no comparison to larger cities. Melbourne has some of the best food in the world and Australia has some of the most multicultural food options in the world. Please do not compare food options up there to the whole of Australia. Sounds like you have no ide to be honest. Explore Australia and our food quality compared to America is no comparison.
definitely plan to get some of the bigger cities! looking forward it!
USA food is processed and full of sugar.
100%! realized how bad the food was ever since i started traveling!
America has thousands off mass school shootings. Australia has zero that’s right. You don’t have to tip in Australia. But America you have to tip everthing that’s so stupid. Because you get paid more in Australia. Get a good job or study. And you will be fine it’s called common sense. It gets hot here I love the hot weather I live. In surface.
