@erwinzyx actually it does because it allows more of the sun's radiation to penetrate the earth's atmosphere increasing global warming. Global warming is not the atmosphere warming but the planet itself increasing in temperature, the ground beneath your feet to put it another way. This causes the sea temperatures to rise creating more violent and frequent storms.
We have good coffee because of all the refugees we took in after WW2 from around the Mediterranean. We got French, Greeks, Turks, Syrians and we got a heap of Italians, and many of those families opened resteraunt and cafes. It was also the start of our footpath dining and coffee culture. Apparently we got a substantial amount of Europe’s best baristas, who trained a generation of Australian workers on Espresso machines and how to preserve fresh roasted coffee beans the best. Apart from the Chinese who came in the mid 19th C Gold Rush with the British and some Europeans, the WW2 refugee influx was the explosive beginning of Australia’s production and love affair with world wide cuisine, and why Australia eventually became the cradle of Fusion cuisine. We lucked out with the Vietnam refugees in the 70s and still coming in the 80s, and then we had a fantastic invasion of Japanese food and Southern Chinese Hawker noodles in the 1990s. We somehow got the Japanese food without refugees, but the Cantonese Hawker noodles came after the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Within a few days of the Massacre, Prime Minister Bob Hawke declared that all Chinese residents living in Australia on student or other visas would automatically qualify for permanent Australian residency. We gained about 10,000 Chinese residents overnight. It was definitely the right thing to do. Most of them were young adult students not only exposed to Western culture, but also exposed to the uncensored news and images smuggled out of China of the Massacre that the CCP successfully suppressed totally in China. As a demographic they were definitely in danger from suspicions from their own Government. My parents used to drive us from Melbourne to Perth every Summer to spend a week with friends. The trip took 4 days each way in the car in the 1980s. We’d stop off to go down guided limestone cave tours.. The. Nullabour was my favourite part. It’s austerely beautiful, a very Zen flat plane. My parents played great road music mixes. The wind in my hair because we didn’t have A/C. One time coming back my parents were sick of travelling so they decided to just take turns driving overnight for 13 hours. My sister fell asleep in the back seat with me in South Australia and woke up at sunrise as we hit the Melbourne CBD.
Aussies don’t drive interstate, we fly! The longest flight from say Sydney to Perth is about four hours with a tail wind. If we do want to drive, it’s a vacation to see our country and we plan very well for it because you need to know where you intend to drive, the road conditions, weather forecasts, fuel stops as well as water, food and accommodation.

But if we just want to go to Melbourne or Brisbane, we fly. An hour or so later, you’re there.
I believe the differences between Americans and Australians is more noticeable. Australia has more of a similarity to the UK, especially with food, traditions etc. I believe the ozone hole is actually over the Antarctic, which of course going to affect the southern hemisphere.

The hole in the ozone layer was discovered by British surveyors in the Antarctic in 1985. It grew bigger over the years especially in the Spring, and varies in size throughout the year. “By 13 September 2024, the total area of the ozone hole was 18.48 million km2, smaller than in recent years for this period.”
So, one of the reasons Australia is so hot is because in Summer(southern hemisphere), the earth is closer to the sun. Have been told that the ozone layer over Australia is a myth.
From Google...On track to full recovery if current policies remain in place, the ozone layer is expected to recover to 1980 values (before the appearance of the ozone hole) by around 2066 over the Antarctic, by 2045 over the Arctic and by 2040 for the rest of the world.9 Jan 2023
What myth? "More about ozone layer depletion The ozone layer is depleted in two ways. Firstly, the ozone layer in the mid-latitude (e.g. over Australia) is thinned, leading to more UV radiation reaching the earth. Data collected in the upper atmosphere have shown that there has been a general thinning of the ozone layer over most of the globe. This includes a five to nine per cent depletion over Australia since the 1960s, which has increased the risk that Australians already face from over-exposure to UV radiation resulting from our outdoor lifestyle. Secondly, the ozone layer over the Antarctic, and to a lesser extent the Arctic, is dramatically thinned in spring, leading to an 'ozone hole'." www.dcceew.gov.au/environment/protection/ozone/ozone-science/ozone-layer#:~:text=More%20about%20ozone%20layer%20depletion&text=Firstly%2C%20the%20ozone%20layer%20in,over%20most%20of%20the%20globe.
I've driven 5 laps. 2 clockwise. 2 anticlockwise and one I started in north Queensland, drove clockwise down to Melbourne and across to Adelaide. I then went north to Darwin via Alice Springs with a stop off at Uluru on the way and then travelled anticlockwise across the top end and down to Perth, across the Nullabor to Adelaide, back north again through Alice Springs to the 3 ways, east into Queensland through Camoweel, Mt Isa etc to Townsville and then back up to my home in Innisfail. The hole in the ozone layer thing is nonsense. Despite our size, our whole country is too far north for the thin ozone region to be a thing, even Tasmania. Much of the USA is much further from the equator than we are. We have similar UV readings to places like South Africa and Saharan Africa. The reason we have skin cancer rates much higher than those places is lifestyle and skin colour. No, not every high school has an agriculture unit. I went to a private school in a regional town which did but my children have been to several different high schools due to moving and none of them had an agriculture unit. This lady has an insular mindset and extrapolates with limited data. Christianity, 44% of Australians identified as Christians in our last census. I can guarantee you that only a very small percentage of those people are practicing Christians. 63% of Americans identify as Christian and many more of them are practicing Christians. She cam here knowing that our numbers were lower and when she was surprised to see in her bible group that there were more than she expected, she jumped to the wrong conclusion.
From the Australian Bureau of Statistics The percentage of Australian’s reporting no religious affiliation continues to grow. It’s now at 38.9 per cent of the population compared to 30.1 per cent in the 2016 Census. Christianity remains the most common religion with 43.9 per cent of the population identifying as Christian, a decrease from 52.1 per cent in the 2016 Census. The top 5 religions outside of Christianity are Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Judaism. The religion question is voluntary in the Census, yet there was an increase in the proportion of people answering the question, from 91 per cent in 2016 to 93 per cent in 2021.
I remember being in New York and my sons and I were going out to explore but were wondering if it was going to be warm or freezing so we decided to wear light clothes but take a jumper with us. Well it turned out to be warm, just warm mind you so we took them back to our room. On returning outside we saw this man with a very red face complaining that they were in a heat wave (first day for us so we didn't know what the weather was before arriving). I swear to God we laughed like crazy, their heatwave was nothing more than a mild spring day to us.
Yeah they do have buttons for things like Bagels just that we'd use them more for crumpets and muffins so labelled as such. Not that hard to buy bagels though. Had one for breakfast this morning.
During WWII a lot of Jews migrated to the US and set up shops to cater for their kosher foods. Part of that was lots of bakeries with Jewish traditional baked goods which included bagels. The US population now takes them for granted, whereas in Australia, while you can certainly find them, there’s been no reason to alter the general designs of our toasters, although I’ve toasted an Australian-made bagel in my toaster with no issues, so even less reason for a redesign. Plus they’re very high in sodium so people like me can’t eat them.
High school, yep, ag science here for me. I went to a really small school, at the time we only had 100 students in the whole high school and it was wonderful! We had our own farm, a couple of calves, lots of mango & paw paw trees, potatoes, beans etc and chickens, and a student would bring in her horse from time to time (as you do!). I often spent my lunchtimes going to tend to the chickens or terrorising the cows. So much fun!
We used to have a gardening class for those who had to be at school but behaved badly in class. Today they would have learning to learn classes, or gifted and talented classes. 😊
It's not an ozone issue concerning the fierceness of the summer sun in Australia. It is simply a latitude issue. New York is at a latitude of about 40 degrees north of the equator, and Sydney is at a latitude of about 34 degrees south of the equator. The closer one is to the equator the higher the sun rises into the sky every day. therefore, the sun is more fierce, especially at the top of the day. Kuala Lumpur must have a particularly fierce summer sun at 3 degrees north of the equator. The ozone issue only affects the region around the poles.
One trip I did before COVID was Wollongong (where this girl went to Uni), Tibooburra, Birdsville, Simpson Desert, Alice Springs, Western Australia/South Australia/Northern Territory boarder, Port Augusta, Burra, Hay, back to Wollongong in four weeks (12,000km).
Australians are great at spinning BS, because they know others will believe anything they say. I spend most my time saying WTF and shaking my head when watching reactions on Australia. Always good for a laugh.
I lived in a bus for 6 years and went to Darwin every winter. Live in NSW so took different routes up and back. Inland, coastal, down the centre , along the Murray river. The only state I didn’t go to is Western Australia because my kids wouldn’t let me not see them for at least 2 years, which would have been how long it would have tended me to see that state. lol
Very few bagels, and the Coffee is good, because it is made with steam, and is strong; not the same as drip coffee (which has a nice flavour, yet not as cheap / strong).
"An Arm and a Leg" means something is Expensive, not used to talk about Distance. 'Man, that costs an arm and a leg' We're limbless here XD Travelling one way for 4 hours to go to a family do, isn't unheard of here and that usually results with a return trip straight afterwards. I've done that more than once XD Distance is relatively to where you live obviously, but I also love my manual and motorways and alright on most frequent destinations inland. The real fun is Bull Dust XD Plus the farther out you go, the roadtrains generally give you a heads up for overtaking too. Love your content, Mate
Love your channel have driven from North to south and east to west across the whole country in a 4 wheel drive and caravan over 4 years full time don't think anything of driving 100s of kilometres
In the late 70s, my parents took us on a caravan holiday from Adelaide South Australia along the coast to Brisbane. It lasted 3 months, but we were talking time to see as much as possible. We did try to get to Cairns but as it was a very ruff dirt track and there were no bridges over the multitude of rivers we didn't get very far out of Brisbane before we had to turn around. Back then, Brisbane was not much bigger than Adelaide, but Queensland has had more development than any other state since then, what is now called the gold Coast didn't exist, so Queensland is completely different today.
I travelled with a mate in 1962 from Melbourne to Cairns in my FJ Holden. The Bruce Hwy from Brisbane to Cairns wasn't dirt but it was very narrow bitumen all the way. Didn't have any problems with bridges but there were two or three ferry crossings over rivers in northern NSW.
If she is from New York, then it like living in Hobart Tasmania, where the sun is no where near as hot. The Ozone layer is repairing and does not have the same influence it use too.
@@philllynch3265 that’s because they are hotter climates with more sun. The latitude that Victoria, Tasmania, NZ sits in is closer to the sun in summer which is why the sun is hotter. It’s one thing to do your own research, it’s another thing to understand it. I’ve felt the Perth and GC sun and it doesn’t come close to the NZ sun which is the strongest
My daughter was teaching at Beaudesset south of Brisbane and they had an agricultural department with animal husbandry and care, etc. A lot of primary schools have vegie gardens the kids take care of for the school canteens. There was a school' out west somewhere' that taught kids to train cattle dogs and probably sheep dogs as well. Trained farm dogs go for very big money. It was an agricultural program hi-lighting the school which apparently was very good. High schools often have expresso machines for kids to learn to use them and get a barrista certificate for when they finish school.
When I worked in Shenzhen China I had to test a toaster that had provision to toast bagels - the problem was getting bagels to use. I though about making them myself but decided that that wouldn't be an accurate test. I ended up ring the Four Seasons hotel and talking to the Executive chef. he agreed to make some for me and didn't even charge me for them. the toaster worked fine.
lol I lived in Shenzhen myself in 2011- you could have ordered bagels like I did from Nogogo, or popped over to Corner's Deli in either Dongguan or Guangzhou to grab some!
I love bagels, but a cogent thought from a New Yorker that isn't about bagels is apparently difficult to find. Los Angeles to London is about ten hours, which is about the same as the flight from Sydney to Tokyo. The problem in her thinking is that Australians actually want to go to America. We are perfectly happy being in Asia.
Agriculture in high school? Definitely not your average school. I've never heard of it. Maybe in specific country schools. It doesn't happen in cities.
There are Agricultural Schools in oz mostly high schools but not common but they are blended in with normal curriculum I can only think of 1 in metropolitan Adelaide that being Urrbrae agricultural school
Earth's orbit isn't a perfect circle. During summer, the Earth's orbit brings Australia closer to the sun (as compared to Europe during its summer), resulting in an additional 7% solar UV intensity. Coupled with our clearer atmospheric conditions, this means that Australians are exposed to up to 15% more UV than Europeans.
While I agree christianity is growing, I still believe Australia is very secular as a country. Politics and Religion are generally kept seperate (and imho rightly so). In saying that, Scott Morrison's government rolled out the Religious Discimination Bill to prevent discrimination against a person on the basis of religion. My mother is from Ireland and when she was growing up, the Catholic Church was basically ran the country. That's why a lot of Irish Immigrants who migrated to Australia were very keen for secularism over here.
Because of the tilt in the earths axis Australia is closer to the sun during summer than northern hemisphere countries that’s the main reason our sun hits different
The hole in the Ozone layer is not the reason for the summer heat and high skin cancer rate. This is mis-information. The hole in the Ozone is over Antarctica, not Australia. The summer heat is simply caused by Australia's position on the globe. In the southern summer Australia is pointed directly at the sun, whereas in the northern hemisphere, even in summer, the European and Nth. American continents get their sunshine on a slant... (follow?).....not Ozone hole....at all. I wish people would stop saying this. Go to somewhere like Egypt in the summer, I bet it's bloody hot there as well.

My longest drive was, just down the road, from Melbourne to Darwin via Brisbane (approx 5200 kms), that was a long few days, shared the driving though so it wasn't too bad. Australian coffee is better because it's NOT starchucks! I don't think every school does the agricultural thing, my school did and we had vege plots and steers to attend to during those classes but that was like years 9, 10 and 11 (in South Aus), we used to have a 'sheep dog trial' competition where farmers would bring their dogs in and compete. My school was located right next door to a heap of land owned by the CSIRO so makes sense, although today, there is no school, no land and it's all housing development and has been for the last 30 years.
If you want good bagels in Australia, you need to head to one of the Jewish precincts like Balaclava in Melbourne. Eastern Sydney also has a reasonably large Jewish population. Also, I've never heard of every uni student doing an agricultural course. I think that would mainly in regional and rural universities like Charles Sturt in Wagga Wagga.
I thought she meant they did it in High School. My high school had a small farm but not many did Ag - that was back in the early 80s. Not many schools would have the room.
The reason the US don't have electric kettles (she called them tea kettles) is because the power in the US is only 120 Volts, not powerful enough to boil a kettle. Australian voltage is 240 V so it only takes about 2 or 3 minutes to boil depending on how full the kettle is. Boiling water in the microwave, which is ghastly imo, is the usual way for the US. Drive throughs are opposite because the driver sits on the opposite side of vehicle than Americans, would be a loooong reach otherwise. The agriculture classes in Australia are only compulsory in NSW. High schools can specialise in certain areas here, theatre arts, music etc within a normal high school. My daughter attended theatre arts school. She had to audition and provide a high all round background in other subjects because they did extra classes. She had to go school on Saturdays for instance and when in movies they worked quite late at night sometimes. That was in the 90's might have changed now. So I think a mixed bag on the education front.
@@pconroy77 perhaps they could fit the power point to the oven so it is already protected by the right fuse. You would have to use a different plug to the 110V one though.
This poor girl is wrong on MULTIPLE levels, average age of a car in Australia is 11.3 years...USA 12.6 years, MANY people travel to the outbak, the roads are NOT freeways but they are mostly good and the distances vast ( even though Australia is LARGER ( if you take the lakes out and only talk about the land mass) than the contiguous USA) the towns are not continually meshing into each other, they are many miles or kms apart and the travel time is thus a LOT....but because of this, run times are fast. Australians dont like bagels either......
Some state high schools offer agriculture classes, in more rural areas. Even some primary schools in regional areas have chickens and do some basic gardening, growing vegetables etc. My daughter went to schools like this and my sister teaches at a district school where they work with sheep and cattle, take them to shows for judging etc
New Zealand is like the Canada of Australia? Ummmm….. I’m not seeing it. New Zealand has two major islands with the north being the most populated. Sydney to Auckland is just over 2,000km across the Tasman Sea. Canada is wider than the US and is part of the same land mass, the continent of North America.

I think the debate in this comment section about our weather shows a range of opinions where as many US travelers coming here tend to misrepresent the diversity of climates and cultures here (good and bad) through a very thin lens from their cultural experience. Many younger people from Australia travel to broaden their perception of the world. We are on a knifes edge of being one of the most accepting and welcoming countries of diversity, yet there is a long way to go with the political will to recognise blackfella heritage and people seeking refuge.

The hole in the ozone layer was discovered by British surveyors in the Antarctic in 1985. It grew bigger over the years especially in the Spring, and varies in size throughout the year. “By 13 September 2024, the total area of the ozone hole was 18.48 million km2, smaller than in recent years for this period.”
Its probably always been there.
So, one of the reasons Australia is so hot is because in Summer(southern hemisphere), the earth is closer to the sun. Have been told that the ozone layer over Australia is a myth.
Yes. I've read that the thinner ozone is more over Antarctica as well.
Actually it was real however it has healed over the years since .
From Google...On track to full recovery if current policies remain in place, the ozone layer is expected to recover to 1980 values (before the appearance of the ozone hole) by around 2066 over the Antarctic, by 2045 over the Arctic and by 2040 for the rest of the world.9 Jan 2023
What myth? "More about ozone layer depletion
The ozone layer is depleted in two ways. Firstly, the ozone layer in the mid-latitude (e.g. over Australia) is thinned, leading to more UV radiation reaching the earth. Data collected in the upper atmosphere have shown that there has been a general thinning of the ozone layer over most of the globe. This includes a five to nine per cent depletion over Australia since the 1960s, which has increased the risk that Australians already face from over-exposure to UV radiation resulting from our outdoor lifestyle. Secondly, the ozone layer over the Antarctic, and to a lesser extent the Arctic, is dramatically thinned in spring, leading to an 'ozone hole'." www.dcceew.gov.au/environment/protection/ozone/ozone-science/ozone-layer#:~:text=More%20about%20ozone%20layer%20depletion&text=Firstly%2C%20the%20ozone%20layer%20in,over%20most%20of%20the%20globe.
I think you could tell her anything and she would believe it .
I've driven 5 laps. 2 clockwise. 2 anticlockwise and one I started in north Queensland, drove clockwise down to Melbourne and across to Adelaide. I then went north to Darwin via Alice Springs with a stop off at Uluru on the way and then travelled anticlockwise across the top end and down to Perth, across the Nullabor to Adelaide, back north again through Alice Springs to the 3 ways, east into Queensland through Camoweel, Mt Isa etc to Townsville and then back up to my home in Innisfail.
The hole in the ozone layer thing is nonsense. Despite our size, our whole country is too far north for the thin ozone region to be a thing, even Tasmania. Much of the USA is much further from the equator than we are. We have similar UV readings to places like South Africa and Saharan Africa. The reason we have skin cancer rates much higher than those places is lifestyle and skin colour.
No, not every high school has an agriculture unit. I went to a private school in a regional town which did but my children have been to several different high schools due to moving and none of them had an agriculture unit.
This lady has an insular mindset and extrapolates with limited data. Christianity, 44% of Australians identified as Christians in our last census. I can guarantee you that only a very small percentage of those people are practicing Christians. 63% of Americans identify as Christian and many more of them are practicing Christians. She cam here knowing that our numbers were lower and when she was surprised to see in her bible group that there were more than she expected, she jumped to the wrong conclusion.
NO it's NOT the OZONE. It's the earth's AXIS brings us literally closer to the sun than New York. It's Distance from the Equator while in Summer!
The hole in the ozone layer was above Antarctica. And this girl goes to uni? 🙄🤦♂️
In the Eighties I drove From Karratha in Western Australia through Adelaide to Gladstone Queensland in 8 days some 8900 Kms.
From the Australian Bureau of Statistics
The percentage of Australian’s reporting no religious affiliation continues to grow. It’s now at 38.9 per cent of the population compared to 30.1 per cent in the 2016 Census.
Christianity remains the most common religion with 43.9 per cent of the population identifying as Christian, a decrease from 52.1 per cent in the 2016 Census.
The top 5 religions outside of Christianity are Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Judaism.
The religion question is
voluntary in the Census, yet there was an increase in the proportion of people answering the question, from 91 per cent in 2016 to 93 per cent in 2021.
I remember being in New York and my sons and I were going out to explore but were wondering if it was going to be warm or freezing so we decided to wear light clothes but take a jumper with us. Well it turned out to be warm, just warm mind you so we took them back to our room. On returning outside we saw this man with a very red face complaining that they were in a heat wave (first day for us so we didn't know what the weather was before arriving). I swear to God we laughed like crazy, their heatwave was nothing more than a mild spring day to us.
Our toasters don’t have bagel buttons, they have crumpet buttons lol
Yeah they do have buttons for things like Bagels just that we'd use them more for crumpets and muffins so labelled as such.
Not that hard to buy bagels though. Had one for breakfast this morning.
During WWII a lot of Jews migrated to the US and set up shops to cater for their kosher foods. Part of that was lots of bakeries with Jewish traditional baked goods which included bagels. The US population now takes them for granted, whereas in Australia, while you can certainly find them, there’s been no reason to alter the general designs of our toasters, although I’ve toasted an Australian-made bagel in my toaster with no issues, so even less reason for a redesign. Plus they’re very high in sodium so people like me can’t eat them.
High school, yep, ag science here for me. I went to a really small school, at the time we only had 100 students in the whole high school and it was wonderful! We had our own farm, a couple of calves, lots of mango & paw paw trees, potatoes, beans etc and chickens, and a student would bring in her horse from time to time (as you do!). I often spent my lunchtimes going to tend to the chickens or terrorising the cows. So much fun!
We used to have a gardening class for those who had to be at school but behaved badly in class.
Today they would have learning to learn classes, or gifted and talented classes. 😊
went fishing in Broome in a 2 litre diesel ute. a few years ago. it only took me 5 days to get there. no prob
It's not an ozone issue concerning the fierceness of the summer sun in Australia. It is simply a latitude issue. New York is at a latitude of about 40 degrees north of the equator, and Sydney is at a latitude of about 34 degrees south of the equator. The closer one is to the equator the higher the sun rises into the sky every day. therefore, the sun is more fierce, especially at the top of the day. Kuala Lumpur must have a particularly fierce summer sun at 3 degrees north of the equator. The ozone issue only affects the region around the poles.
Its also due to the tilt of the axis which puts Australia closer to the sun.
One trip I did before COVID was Wollongong (where this girl went to Uni), Tibooburra, Birdsville, Simpson Desert, Alice Springs, Western Australia/South Australia/Northern Territory boarder, Port Augusta, Burra, Hay, back to Wollongong in four weeks (12,000km).
Australians are great at spinning BS, because they know others will believe anything they say. I spend most my time saying WTF and shaking my head when watching reactions on Australia. Always good for a laugh.
The BS that annoys me most of all is the myth about drop bears.

Ag depends on the school location, city schools not so much, rural schools yes

I lived in a bus for 6 years and went to Darwin every winter. Live in NSW so took different routes up and back. Inland, coastal, down the centre , along the Murray river.
The only state I didn’t go to is Western Australia because my kids wouldn’t let me not see them for at least 2 years, which would have been how long it would have tended me to see that state. lol
Very few bagels, and the Coffee is good, because it is made with steam, and is strong; not the same as drip coffee (which has a nice flavour, yet not as cheap / strong).
"An Arm and a Leg" means something is Expensive, not used to talk about Distance. 'Man, that costs an arm and a leg' We're limbless here XD Travelling one way for 4 hours to go to a family do, isn't unheard of here and that usually results with a return trip straight afterwards. I've done that more than once XD Distance is relatively to where you live obviously, but I also love my manual and motorways and alright on most frequent destinations inland. The real fun is Bull Dust XD Plus the farther out you go, the roadtrains generally give you a heads up for overtaking too. Love your content, Mate
Love your channel have driven from North to south and east to west across the whole country in a 4 wheel drive and caravan over 4 years full time don't think anything of driving 100s of kilometres
In the late 70s, my parents took us on a caravan holiday from Adelaide South Australia along the coast to Brisbane. It lasted 3 months, but we were talking time to see as much as possible.
We did try to get to Cairns but as it was a very ruff dirt track and there were no bridges over the multitude of rivers we didn't get very far out of Brisbane before we had to turn around.
Back then, Brisbane was not much bigger than Adelaide, but Queensland has had more development than any other state since then, what is now called the gold Coast didn't exist, so Queensland is completely different today.
I travelled with a mate in 1962 from Melbourne to Cairns in my FJ Holden. The Bruce Hwy from Brisbane to Cairns wasn't dirt but it was very narrow bitumen all the way. Didn't have any problems with bridges but there were two or three ferry crossings over rivers in northern NSW.
If she is from New York, then it like living in Hobart Tasmania, where the sun is no where near as hot. The Ozone layer is repairing and does not have the same influence it use too.
Tha Tasmanian sun is the hottest in Australia actually.
@@macdac9861 I Suggest you do your research, in Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia, consistently have the highest UV levels.
@@macdac9861Tassie has it's own sun hey🤔..ya learn something new everyday 😐 🤣
@@philllynch3265 that’s because they are hotter climates with more sun. The latitude that Victoria, Tasmania, NZ sits in is closer to the sun in summer which is why the sun is hotter. It’s one thing to do your own research, it’s another thing to understand it. I’ve felt the Perth and GC sun and it doesn’t come close to the NZ sun which is the strongest
Where's Tasmania?
My daughter was teaching at Beaudesset south of Brisbane and they had an agricultural department with animal husbandry and care, etc. A lot of primary schools have vegie gardens the kids take care of for the school canteens. There was a school' out west somewhere' that taught kids to train cattle dogs and probably sheep dogs as well. Trained farm dogs go for very big money. It was an agricultural program hi-lighting the school which apparently was very good. High schools often have expresso machines for kids to learn to use them and get a barrista certificate for when they finish school.
When I worked in Shenzhen China I had to test a toaster that had provision to toast bagels - the problem was getting bagels to use. I though about making them myself but decided that that wouldn't be an accurate test. I ended up ring the Four Seasons hotel and talking to the Executive chef. he agreed to make some for me and didn't even charge me for them. the toaster worked fine.
lol I lived in Shenzhen myself in 2011- you could have ordered bagels like I did from Nogogo, or popped over to Corner's Deli in either Dongguan or Guangzhou to grab some!
@@becsterbrisbane6275 I was the Futian FTZ so I would have gone to HK rather than GZ. I left there in 2009.
I love bagels, but a cogent thought from a New Yorker that isn't about bagels is apparently difficult to find. Los Angeles to London is about ten hours, which is about the same as the flight from Sydney to Tokyo. The problem in her thinking is that Australians actually want to go to America. We are perfectly happy being in Asia.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a bagel in my entire life, love croissants and donuts though
And yes her lecturers and classes were chill because she did a creative subject.. engineering was NOT like that
Agriculture in high school? Definitely not your average school. I've never heard of it. Maybe in specific country schools. It doesn't happen in cities.
There are Agricultural Schools in oz mostly high schools but not common but they are blended in with normal curriculum
I can only think of 1 in metropolitan Adelaide that being Urrbrae agricultural school
Obviously the drive through is opposite because the Southern Hemisphere spins in the Opposite direction to the Northern Hemisphere !

Earth's orbit isn't a perfect circle. During summer, the Earth's orbit brings Australia closer to the sun (as compared to Europe during its summer), resulting in an additional 7% solar UV intensity. Coupled with our clearer atmospheric conditions, this means that Australians are exposed to up to 15% more UV than Europeans.
While I agree christianity is growing, I still believe Australia is very secular as a country. Politics and Religion are generally kept seperate (and imho rightly so). In saying that, Scott Morrison's government rolled out the Religious Discimination Bill to prevent discrimination against a person on the basis of religion. My mother is from Ireland and when she was growing up, the Catholic Church was basically ran the country. That's why a lot of Irish Immigrants who migrated to Australia were very keen for secularism over here.
Because of the tilt in the earths axis Australia is closer to the sun during summer than northern hemisphere countries that’s the main reason our sun hits different
The hole in the Ozone layer is not the reason for the summer heat and high skin cancer rate. This is mis-information. The hole in the Ozone is over Antarctica, not Australia. The summer heat is simply caused by Australia's position on the globe. In the southern summer Australia is pointed directly at the sun, whereas in the northern hemisphere, even in summer, the European and Nth. American continents get their sunshine on a slant... (follow?).....not Ozone hole....at all. I wish people would stop saying this.
Go to somewhere like Egypt in the summer, I bet it's bloody hot there as well.
It really annoys me when tourists don’t bother to fact check before posting crap like this, “No-one travels inland” yeah only 15% of the population.

My longest drive was, just down the road, from Melbourne to Darwin via Brisbane (approx 5200 kms), that was a long few days, shared the driving though so it wasn't too bad. Australian coffee is better because it's NOT starchucks! I don't think every school does the agricultural thing, my school did and we had vege plots and steers to attend to during those classes but that was like years 9, 10 and 11 (in South Aus), we used to have a 'sheep dog trial' competition where farmers would bring their dogs in and compete. My school was located right next door to a heap of land owned by the CSIRO so makes sense, although today, there is no school, no land and it's all housing development and has been for the last 30 years.
The bottle shop.
If you want good bagels in Australia, you need to head to one of the Jewish precincts like Balaclava in Melbourne. Eastern Sydney also has a reasonably large Jewish population. Also, I've never heard of every uni student doing an agricultural course. I think that would mainly in regional and rural universities like Charles Sturt in Wagga Wagga.
I thought she meant they did it in High School. My high school had a small farm but not many did Ag - that was back in the early 80s. Not many schools would have the room.
HI There. I have driven from Perth to Yeppoon in Queensland Distance 4500kms. over 6 days and Perth Via Melbourne to Cairns in Queensland 5950kms.
The reason the US don't have electric kettles (she called them tea kettles) is because the power in the US is only 120 Volts, not powerful enough to boil a kettle. Australian voltage is 240 V so it only takes about 2 or 3 minutes to boil depending on how full the kettle is. Boiling water in the microwave, which is ghastly imo, is the usual way for the US. Drive throughs are opposite because the driver sits on the opposite side of vehicle than Americans, would be a loooong reach otherwise. The agriculture classes in Australia are only compulsory in NSW. High schools can specialise in certain areas here, theatre arts, music etc within a normal high school. My daughter attended theatre arts school. She had to audition and provide a high all round background in other subjects because they did extra classes. She had to go school on Saturdays for instance and when in movies they worked quite late at night sometimes. That was in the 90's might have changed now. So I think a mixed bag on the education front.
How do they do anything with only 110 volts?
ummm kettles exist and many home in Canada and the USA have them. Just not the must have as they are in the UK and oz. That said, 240v all the way
US stoves are 240V so it wouldn't be hard to a 240V power point next to the stove.
@@ianmontgomery7534 well depends on the fuse box I think
@@pconroy77 perhaps they could fit the power point to the oven so it is already protected by the right fuse. You would have to use a different plug to the 110V one though.
When she mentioned Christian, I immediately thought barge pole. Don't get me wrong, I was raised Catholic, but no, get me right. Barge pole.

This poor girl is wrong on MULTIPLE levels, average age of a car in Australia is 11.3 years...USA 12.6 years, MANY people travel to the outbak, the roads are NOT freeways but they are mostly good and the distances vast ( even though Australia is LARGER ( if you take the lakes out and only talk about the land mass) than the contiguous USA) the towns are not continually meshing into each other, they are many miles or kms apart and the travel time is thus a LOT....but because of this, run times are fast. Australians dont like bagels either......
Oh Mexico doesn’ have coffee?
If you were in private school you may have gotten that agriculture class.. not in state school though..
Some state high schools offer agriculture classes, in more rural areas. Even some primary schools in regional areas have chickens and do some basic gardening, growing vegetables etc. My daughter went to schools like this and my sister teaches at a district school where they work with sheep and cattle, take them to shows for judging etc

I think the debate in this comment section about our weather shows a range of opinions where as many US travelers coming here tend to misrepresent the diversity of climates and cultures here (good and bad) through a very thin lens from their cultural experience. Many younger people from Australia travel to broaden their perception of the world. We are on a knifes edge of being one of the most accepting and welcoming countries of diversity, yet there is a long way to go with the political will to recognise blackfella heritage and people seeking refuge.
