![THIS WEEK IN AUSTRALIA [65] - CRAZY WEEK DOWN UNDER](/img/n.gif)
The map is the Mediterranean set inside Australia. It shows that Australia is so big, the sea would sit inside with land to spare.
Correct!
This meme relies on the lack of geographic knowledge of the average interweb user, suggesting this will happen if the seas rise due to climate change. Similar one done to the US.
sad that you had to explain it...
Ryan - those few hundred thousand Australians that could be working at Bunnings on Good Friday would be getting paid 2.5x their hourly rate for working on a public holiday. We reward workers who give up their public holidays in Australia.
Yup! As an atheist who doesn't care about Easter and having Type 2 Diabetes I'd be over the moon to earn the penalty rates!!
Yeah Right what about the wait-staff in Restaurants no penalty rates for them.
Most public holidays are paid at double time
@@belindaweber7999 LOL me too!
@@mylesdickenson9060 They will be on 'Contract rates' or they will get 'Penalty rates' for all public holidays. Contract rates are higher and allow for "Working X number" of Public holidays per year.
Sulphur crested cockatoos are from the order Noisius Arseholius and are found all over Australia.
I remember during the 60's a lot of pet cockatoos would call out " You bloody ratbag! " or just ' Ratbag" because that is the Aussie term for someone who is either a gentle humorous stirrer or a malicious joker stirrer.
My nanna's cockies, when not wandering the house, but outside in their cages, would warn her when next door's pet rabbits would escape into her vegie garden. They would call out
" Rabbits! Rabbits! " and when she came with the straw broom to chase them back, they would still be calling out excitedly flapping until they went back under the fence..
Sometimes they would do it when there were no rabbits and would then laugh their cocky laughs and whistle and dance about while cranky Nanna stood there with her broom. She would then say "You blasted ratbags!' to them. But then to her embarrassment they would repeat it when visitors were present as " You bastard ratbags!" This was during the 40's thru the 50's to the 60's so nanna, who was quite proper, was always having to explain the situation to newcomers.
The cockies would also bend their neck toward strangers and request in the softest voice "Scratch scatch?" Then as the stranger smiled and leant close to scratch their neck with the finger through the cage, the cocky would lunge at the finger and screech and make like it was going to bite it and then laugh and flap and dance as the stranger let out a fearful yelp and jumped back at the same time.
I have to say one of the cockies actually would bite. The cockies, that belonged to the breed known as Major Mitchells, are well known to be the least gentle. The other kinder cocky was of the Corella breed. Both were typical cockatoo ratbags though.
Magpies adopt people, not the other way around. 🇦🇺 20:15
They find fossils and shells in central Australia from when it was a sea.
Opals
I've found fossilized squid tubes and clams outside and around Coober Pedy (Opalized). Massive inland sea at least 65 million years ago.
If cockatoos could type, they'd be constantly making comments on UA-cam.
The buggers make enough noise out here in Wheelers Hill…. I wished they would shut up……. Grüße aus Australien. Tschüss.
Mate, you are 100% correct calling the cockatoos are “little shits”. They bully just about every other animal EXCEPT kookaburras…. The kookas dom’t take any sort of sh*t…. I love them. Grüße aus Australien. Tschüss.
6:26
The little shits are shredding the trees at the front of our house at the moment. But geez they’re funny little buggers.
Some comments would actually make more sense. 😂😂
true lol@@miatfitz
There are only 2 days of the year that just about everything closes and that is Good Friday (if people can’t go 1 day without alcohol they have a problem) and Christmas Day …..
And everything closed until 1pm on Anzac Day out of respect to our Diggers
Not so much for ‘respect to our Diggers’, but it is because the Sydney Anzac Day March (which starts at 9am) usually finishes about 1pm. Then the shops are permitted to open after the march is finished.
@@aussieragdoll4840 there's more marches than the one in Sydney going on around the country FFS!!!
In Victoria drive-through bottle shops are open on both Christmas day and Good Friday.
Absolutely 👍🏻
In Australia when you call a large organisation, first thing the robot says; do you know you can do all this online, just go to blah blah blah. No human wants to speak to you. If you are lucky enough to speak with a representative of the company and you ask a question beyond their script, the phone call abruptly ends. Welcome to Terminator, the age of AI. Get to the chopper. Cheers mate 🍻
1 of the reasons I love Aussie Broadband (provider), I always get not only a human, but an Ozzie, on the very rare occasion I've had to call.
It’s much worse in the U.S. !
Cockatoos are smart and cheeky. It also looks like the cockatoos have worked out that kangaroos can only move forward. 😁
I haven't found a video of a roo walking backwards, but I did find one of an emu.

private health insurance in australia is basically like paying for an upgrade, you're still on the same flight but you have a better seat sort of deal. it gets you things like private rooms, better food, choice of doctors, shorter wait times for elective surgery etc etc.
but you won't be getting a private room if there's none available, you wont be getting the surgery you want if there's nobody there to do it, and if it's life threatening you'll get whichever doctor is available to save your arse. all this is pretty obvious to a reasonable person.
I've had private health insurance for 50 years and recently had to go to public hospital for brain surgery, was in a 4 bed ward with another woman and 2 men for 15 days...a horrible experience and not one I want to repeat, but if the surgery needed is not available then you have no choice. The health system in WA is in a bad way our governments are spending money in the wrong way😮
@@traveller1753my 81 yr old mum has been in hospital 6 times since July, public Medicare patient - 4 stays of 14+ days & 2 of 24 hrs. I have nothing but praise for our hospitals & the care received. Perth, WA.
@@traveller1753that's every state hon. And most healthcare professionals only pay for health insurance for tax/Medicare purposes. If you're truly sick we know that a public hospital is where you need to be
Don't know whether you celebrate Easter, but if you do, Happy Easter 🪺🐰 , to you and your wife and gorgeous little boy
The Qld Premier has stepped in and offered to provide training to the people who raised the magpie (and the dog) as wildlife carers so that the magpie can be returned.
Yes, the family has to apply for a wildlife carers license and the magpie will be returned.
Meanwhile, the dog has become depressed & clingy because it misses its magpie mate.
They should get the couple with the magpie to train them. Typical Govt stroker interference.
Oh, come on, it’s been there for 2 years, it’s acclimatised. Or settled. Or used to it. Or HOME!
If it’s been fine for that long, how can someone claim its life is in danger?
There has to be more to this story than we’re being told.
Wokeness has ruined Australia
Happy Easter Ryan and your family ❤❤🇦🇺🐨🐨🇦🇺
I don't care if it's good Friday but surely people are allowed to have a day off with family and people can just be prepared and buy early. 2.5 days a year you can't buy alcohol in qld and still people complain.
You would need to convert the damaged bank note at your local bank as the shops won’t do it.
A cockatoo is unlikely to scar a kangaroos tail. A kangaroo tail is the source of the toughest leather in the world.
Pretty sure the tail is the same as the rest of the hide. If any part is going to be tougher it's the belly due to how they fight. But over all k leather is strongest and lightest leather weight for weight of any leather.
That's true. The kangaroos can hold their own anyway. Cockies are shitheads.
Kangaroo leather is fine-grained, and generally is softer and more lightweight and flexible than other animals, 10 times stronger than your average cow leather. The tail is denser as kangaroos use their tail as the "sole" of a third foot and it needs to withstand abrasion with rocky ground. Leathermakers will tell you it is the toughest leather, followed by buffalo, ostrich, stingray... The tail is the leather of choice for making whips, and knife-makers/butchers etc. use it to make strops for honing knife steel due to its extra-toughness. A quick Google search for "toughest leather" will confirm kangaroo as the toughest in the world, but bootmakers, tanners and leather-goods manufacturers will confirm the tail is much stronger still. The CSIRO (Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) has also scientifically confirmed it in tests.
And if ya get 'tsil slspped' by s full grown one... it can break a bone!

Big OUCH!
Cockatoos can eat houses :)

Hi Ryan. I actually don't mind that you end your weekly summary with your intro. It is like a book cover - front and back! Thanks for your continued interest and social commentary of Australian culture
This is exactly what inland Australia needs! Just a pipeline / tunnel from the Southern Ocean, through the Flinders Ranges, refilling the salt lakes, increasing precipitation in the interior. That and the Bradfield scheme to do similar in western Queensland but with fresh water would just transform a lot of the continent. Getting the Chinese land owners out would be the first step
If only it could be done . Imagine how much more usable land that would open up!
It would drastically change our weather patterns and average temperatures would plummet and rainfall would soar. Not necessarily a good thing.
@@AussieFossilsay this again in a drought year
@@susie9893 In my scenario there would never be another drought, but permanent flooding. The economy would be destroyed.
Sulphur Crested Cockatoos are incredibly intelligent and cheeky rascals! If kept as a pet, they can be taught to speak - words and short sentences.
Molly the magpie, was rescued when he fell out his nest and a young one and they found him and feed him and cared for him and he's been free to fly off and come back after a few days etc, everyone is hoping he'll be returned ASAP, before it's too late...
Are you excited to see the eclipse and the comet, you're in it's path. Not long to go.
The first image is the Mediterranean Sea laid over Aus :) Ironically, Australia used to have an inland sea and is why we have the worlds best Opal
Hi Ryan, the first one is essentially "What if the Mediterranean were in Australia? I quite like cockatoos but they can be a nuisance. We had some rafters that stuck out beyond the edge of the roof. The cockatoos would sit on them and chew them until they were basically ruined. We had to saw them all of at the roofline. Regarding buying alcohol over Easter, I think there was a law that bottlos (bottle shops or liquor stores, as you would know them) and maybe all shops could not open on Good Friday decades ago. Now I think it is up to the retailer what they want to do. Just did a quick check and it looks as though most are not open on Good Friday but a few are. An Aussie 10c piece is about the size of a quarter, I think. Regarding private rooms in private hospitals, it varies a bit. Older private hospitals often have a mix of single rooms and shared (usually two patients) rooms. The private hospital I work at used to be like that but has recently been redeveloped and is now all single rooms. When I was an intern (decades ago), we had some "Florence Nightingale"-style wards in our public hospital with a row of beds along one wall and a row of beds along the other in one huge room and the nurses station up at one end. There were 28 beds in the room, if I remember correctly. The building was built in 1908. It is still there but no longer functions as a ward; the hospital has been rebuilt. Regarding bank notes, when you go to a restaurant, you could settle a check with a bill, but we could settle the bill with a cheque - although this would almost never occur nowadays.
I'm a retired cancer nurse. Most hospital beds are in four bed bays (occasionally you'll see a six bed bay) They're often called the chook or chicken shed by us nurses. Where I worked we had about 6 four bed bays and 12 single rooms, which are used for neutropaenic patients who are around day 8-10 post their chemotherapy. Their blood cell levels have dropped to a dangerous or fatal level. They become highly susceptible to infection as they have no/low functioning immune system, are bleeding or have a low haemoglobin and are at risk of organ damage due to low oxygen levels. The other time patients are placed in single rooms is when they are actively dying.
Also, it's always been my understanding that the destruction or defacing of legal tender is against the law and can lead to a fairly hefty fine, I don't think it's a jailable offence.
Many years ago my Dad was looking after an injured magpie . He called him Wally and housed him in an Avery. He would dig worms for him until he discovered Wally was escaping from his home, getting his own dinner and returning himself 😂
10:46 that on the Australian 10 cent coin is the Lyre bird.
Fun fact: The lyre bird is a native species to Australia which has the ability to mimic almost any sound it hears. You should check it out you'll be amazed.
Ryan, if you want some insight into Australian history, yo need to check out Tony Robinson Australian history. He’s a British guy, but the tv series is awesome. Episodes are on UA-cam. It’s a must.
No he did a shit episode on Canberra
The golf course on the Nullarbor 💖
Its definitely not in Alice Springs, as indicated😂😂
its near the southern coast of the Nullarbor
I’ve been admitted to a large public hospital a few times. Standard “rooms” on the ward have 4 beds separated by privacy curtains. They don’t have doors to the “rooms”, instead they’re alcoves off of a corridor. There are some actual rooms in these wards with a single bed but I think they tend to be for either those who are vulnerable to secondary infections or those who are infectious themselves (don’t quote me though).
I did always think that private hospitals had single bed rooms, but I guess that’s not necessarily a thing 🫠
Australian hospitals have a wards with four beds in each room. Single rooms are used for isolation of infections.
Good Friday & Easter Sunday are both declared Public Holidays (if you work them, you get paid extra). Supermarkets & department stores are closed, and pubs are only open in the afternoon for on premises sales only. No buying alcohol to take away to consume elsewhere. 2 days (with them open in between on Easter Saturday) without being to buy booze to take home won’t kill people. Easter Monday is also a Public Holiday, but shops are open and pubs can sell take away booze.
Exactly. How hard is it to buy booze on Thursday?
Incidentally, Easter Saturday is not a gazetted public holiday, but Dominos are charging us 10% Public Holiday surcharge today. Unfair!
@judithstrachan9399 what state? All four days are gazetted public holidays in Qld
@@JB-vd8bi Sorry, Saturday wasn’t when I was growing up, I didn’t realise it is now.
Twice, even: “Easter Saturday” & “Holy Saturday”, according to Google “qld public holidays 2024”.
That is a map of the Mediterranean Sea imposed on Australia.
Good Friday, here in Western Australia, no pubs or bottle-o's are open.
Can’t buy take away alcohol on Good Friday lol been like that since forever lol
Can in SA.
Sorry only the heathen states sell take away grog on Good Friday lol SA TAS ACT
Can in NSW, TAS and VIC too
@@kevo6190No… you can’t buy take away booze in NSW on Good Friday,
All airports are on federal land, so you can there
Federal land in Oz is exempt from all state laws, that's why the ACT was created ... it's just a free for all state where the polling can enjoy the sex, drugs and alcohol lifestyle they deem inappropriate for the rest of the people
A few years ago I cut open my hand and had a “private room” while waiting for 2 days to get surgery on it. It wasn’t totally private because the nurses kept coming in, it was actually the storage closet for the ward, I guess at least I wasn’t in the corridor.
Happy Easter Ryan and family! 🐣🌴🐨🐥 Cockatoos rule! Clive Palmer! 🥴 No prizes! Fake Busker alert! 😕 There are very limited private hospital rooms, maybe two to four people max unless you are infectious! Yes time goes faster if you're not alone! 👍 Let the Magpie go back home! 😏 See Ya! 🙆
In hospitals in Tasmania generally a room has 4 beds unless in isolation.
Agree if Bunnings was open it would be PACKED!!
Bunnings is my church! Hardware galore plus a sausage sizzle fundraiser 😂
Considering how Big Brother they are now, with facial recognition, predictive crime, and the telemetry of their app, I'd say they're coming close to being all-knowing too
Hi Ryan from country Queensland. Loving your reactions to us ❤😂🎉
There was a link on the screen to the government policy site. Google is your friend.
I believe the bit that has the bank notes individual identification number on it can be exchanged at a bank for a new note . At least that was the way of it with the old paper money.
Subject to the Reserve Bank’s Claim Requirements, the Reserve Bank pays value for incomplete banknotes determined as follows:
If less than 20 per cent of the banknote is missing:Full face value is paid.If between 20 and 80 per cent of the banknote is missing:Value is paid in proportion with the percentage remaining, e.g. $5 value for half of a $10 banknote.If more than 80 per cent of the banknote is missing:No value is paid.
Don’t forget that birds are dinosaurs. The cocktoos are just showing their dinosaur heritage.
Our hospital rooms usually have 3 or 4 beds in them. When I had my tonsils out at 6yo, there were 2 other kids next to me and one of the boy's mums watched over me when mine had to go back to work. I felt so bad bc I was throwing up the whole night and she was so kind and kept getting me sick-bags.
That is called a fun size bar in Australia, it just shows how much the fun has shrunk, the price is quite a bit dearer. The general rule for hospitals is between 4 & 6 and the worst part is that they are mixed wards not just male and female
So Tyler thinks he's been bad at reading this year only.? Fascinating 😊
Happy Easter to you and yours, Ryan. You are pretty much the only reliable source of news for we aussies.
Plan ahead, Bunnings customers
Literally, they're open until 9pm the day before. You don't even have to be _that_ organized
We had problems with cockatoos. They would wait for my grandmother to hang out her washing on the line in the backyard and when she went inside along they came and removed the pegs holding the garments on the line. All the washing ended up on the ground.
Six people in one room would NOT be heaps of fun ❗️
It was 50 years ago but when I had my appendix taken out I was in a ward with 20 people. Have you ever seen one of those old Carry On Doctor movies? Just like that. And on my stay there 2 people died overnight. One was 2 beds down from me and the other one opposite me. No fun at all :(
If you have a deck out the back it's nothing for a flock of these larrikin birds to destroy it. They just move in & chew it,& any associated furniture,to pieces.
Cockatoos definitely bite wallabies tails in my yard if they're eating, they like to be at the top of the food chain, compared to the other birds they're around they're always the biggest so they don't feel small, and with those beaks they definitely don't need to be bigger!
Cockatoos are mongrels of a bird. About three quarters of our back fence has been chewed down. In places, it's about four or five centimetres (about two inches) lower than other parts.
Re: alcohol on Easter Sunday. Certainly not in the ACT! Booze is sold in supermarkets, and they don't stop anyone from purchasing it. So I don't know where exactly this would be a thing.... maybe Qld or NT.
You can on Easter Sunday anywhere. Good Friday is a different story. Or Christmas Day for that matter. I'd be surprised if Supermarkets were open on Good Friday in Canberra.
@@dingodancer The small local IGA-type ones were open. Complete with booze!
I was under the impression that if the serial number of the bank note is still legible, then you get face value for it at a bank not a shop.
You need both serial numbers, there is one on each half on opposite sides
For incomplete banknotes you don’t need any serial number. The reserve bank policy dictates that any bank will assess the value of the piece of note according to the assessed value of the remaining part. If less than 20% of the note is missing you get full value. If 20-80% is missing you get the proportion remaining. Eg $5 for half a $10 note. If over 80% is missing you get nothing. According to the RBA “The presence or absence of a serial number does not affect the assessed value of a claim”
@@Dr_KAP you are correct ....but I dont understand why > I had a note that went thru the washing machine and shrunk . It was the whole note , just smaller -----I think the bank gave me $7.50 for it . When I asked is it a $10.00 note or not ...i was told thats just the way it is .
@@user-iy7qz4hh8h oh ok yeh - my best guess is that the RBA policy (which is kinda confusing with lots of ifs and buts and fine print) - probably includes something to the effect of a maximum value for notes deemed to be “damaged notes” - If it shrunk then perhaps the note’s significant features such as the hologram, serial numbers, graphics, had also deteriorated and so it was assessed as a damaged note?
Bunnings is hardware plus everything! Each Saturday a different charity sells barbecued sausage sandwiches. Always go to Bunnings on a Saturday.
The magpie saga is ongoing. Even politicians are involved.
I had private hospital insurance and went to a private hospital for 2 different surgeries.
One time I was in a shared room with another person for 4 days then had the room to myself for the last 3.
Next time I had a room to myself for the whole nearly 2 weeks.
When I was having Ovarian Cancer removed at Southport Griffith University Hospital, I was in a share room with one other women. Most of the Ward on that level had large Private Rooms. There was an Emergency Alarm go off, one night and all staff had disappeared from that level. Now, I needed my drugs really bad, but it was about 2 hours later before staff came back. I still have to wonder if there was a huge accident or something and they may have had to go there to help out. No one bothered to inform the patients as to why the level was missing all staff, as the Cancer Ward is very large and the number of patients that need care is high. There are some people in that wing dying as well. I have worked as a commercial cleaner in one of the largest hospitals in Brisbane and General Public has it’s own area from the Private Wing. Except for patients on life support that need constant watching, those taken off life support go into a private room so the family can stay until the patient passes away.
When their is a full moon, many women can come in, and their is no rooms available in the birthing area, the patients can end up having there baby in the reception major walkway outside.😮
When there is a full moon, many women can come in? What's that supposed to mean?
Also, I've never heard of women in Australia giving birth in the reception area or walkway outside - unless it was such a quick birth, the mother didn't get to the hospital on time.
Regarding Private Rooms in hospitals here in Australia you simply need to do enough damage to yourself to get one. I had a a huge room in a Public hospital. Air adjusting bed, lots of machines that had lights and beeped. Even did not have to eat or breathe or pee for myself. It was 6 weeks in ICU. All paid for by out tax dollars. With more titanium in me than I could afford to purchase. Very fortunate.
Bottlos, (Bottle Shop/Liquor Stores,) are open today, which is Easter Sunday, in Brisbane where I live in Queensland. They open all day so that might be an old rule or might be in a different state in Australia.
Also if you didn't see, that $50 note was counterfeit which is why it could be ripped up, probably to test if it was counterfeit in the first place.
Woolies have Olive, she's an out and proud AI who tells you about her relatives who were 'born' on my birthday and other interesting facts while she deals with your issue. She's very helpful and responds instantly if you want to speak to a human. She always makes me smile and I find I'm always polite when speaking with her. If there were more like Olive there might be less AI rage.
Yeah, 6 is a common number of beds in a ward. Dad has a story from his youth, was sharing a room with another lad with a broken leg, he had a broken arm. To occupy themselves, they built a blow dart target range. He couldn't make the darts, the other bloke couldn't retrieve them. Good teamwork.
It tends to be 4 beds to a shared room here in public hospitals. There are some 2 bed rooms and single rooms.
6 beds would be unusual. It's 2 or 4 beds in public hospitals I have been in.
No store would accept the $50.00 note, you would have to take it to a bank to get it exchanged to a note in good condition.
When I worked in banking, if it had both numbers it would get full face value, if it was more than half (WITH a number), full face value. Less than half, nothing, with or without a number. Almost all of the note with both numbers missing, nothing.
That was 30+ years ago, so it may have changed.
And only at a bank.
The note is counterfeit.
To get the value of the remaining note, unless you have all parts.
Telstra and some other companies brought their call centres back to Australia after numerous complaints.
Take away , means just that. Purchase unopened bottles or cans of alcoholic beverages from shops. Beer, Wines, Spirits. They are available where I live as it is in a "holiday area" and many more than usual shops in other areas will be open...
Molly and Peggy videos can still be seen on UA-cam. I'm devastated. Molly was a wild bird that came and went as it pleased and now it's in a cage! 😢😢
That’s not quite right as I drove to my local pubs drive thru bottle shop and bought a slab of Coopers, the best Aussie beer on Good Friday here in Melbourne
Clive Palmer is a multimillionaire whose apparently building another Titanic 🤪
Take away alcohol = Drive through liquor stores
takeaway alcohol = over the bar take home in australia. technically drive through is takeaway but that's not what takeaway is in reference to and is just a store purchase.
yeah, bars that don't have a bottle shop can sell takeaways, it's been years since I've been to a bar, but I think once the bottle shop shuts at places that have them, you are able to get from the bar
Take away alcohol is any alcohol brought to be consumed off premises. Be it from a bottlo or a pub.
It's so funny that those birds have known over a large amount of time that their so much more intelligent than the roos
Here in Australia, if any of your bank note does not have the bank note number in the top corner, then it is not legal.
There's enough food on the boat to survive for a very long time!

Thank you for having Hobart at the top of the state's there're a lot of Australian maps out there that don't even have Tasmania on it.
There are warning signs for Snakes at Scarborough beach in Western Australia. They are attracted by the wild rabbits.
i always found the good friday alcohol thing bizarre as well. here in perth, the casino is open 24/7 but closes from 3am until 10pm on good friday and christmas day. on anzac day it also closes at 3am and opens at midday.
It's only if you take the torn note to a bank , it's so you cant take half the note to one bank and get the full value for it and the other half to another bank to get the full value there .
I actually like having someone to talk to in hospital.
I don't.
@leglessinoz Thats a bit sad but we are all different and all the same at the same time. Being a bit philosophical today 😍
I don't mind having someone to talk to but in a 4 bed mixed ward it's impossible to sleep and absolutely no privacy 😢
Clive Palmer is related to 'Mrs Palmer and her 5 daughters!' 😂
you just put me off wanking for life lol
Love that. I'm gonna steal it ;-)
So true
Clever. Agree
"The old Mrs Palmer gag" 🤣 (Maxwell Smart voice)
Notes you must have the serial number on the half note and only get half value
You have to take to a bank fill out how note was damaged as it's against the law to destroy any money 💵 here
Large fines for deliberately damaging them most people or store tape the two half's together
When returned to banks by store's if damaged and taped together they take out of circulation
Then gets sent to mint for replacement
A lot of people think that, but it's not quite accurate. You must have 2/3's of bank note to receive full value of the note. There is never any more than full value given for a note as it's too difficult to determine how much is actually half. To err on the side of caution banks will insist on 2/3's of a note for any payment at all, which is the full value of the note. I worked for a bank for 27 years.
It's not illegal to buy alcohol on any day. Most bottle shops in Australia are open 365 days a year.
I highly recommend you do some reading into ANZAC day and do a video on what you think about the ANZAC tradition.
It's a public holiday in Australia but unfortunately Remembrance Day isn't a public holiday when it should be as well.
Cockatoos have an extreme sense of fun n games, and flocks will come up with all sorts of games. I know of rolling down hills, surfing down antenna masts or handrails on stairs. Sometimes they'll declare war on a specific bit of infrastructure and destroy as much of it as possible, no matter how often it's repaired or replaced. I'm aware of TV antenna coax and farm irrigation systems. The whole mob join in. I'll add kangaroo tail pulling to the list.
No, you can’t make change by cutting bits off notes. That’s actually an offence under the 1981 Crimes (Currency) Act so yeah, don’t do that. Damaged notes have to go back to the Reserve Bank of Australia, and they’ll pay the full value if there’s more than 80% left you get the full value, pro rata between 20 and 80%, and nothing if there’s less than 20% left. That’s to stop people hacking up bank notes and returning them in bits to try to get more than the face value.
0:07 the audio of “this week in Australia” didn’t play, it was just the silent animation. Unfortunately I have to spend a lot of time in hospitals. The public hospitals often have dormitory style rooms. In private you’re likely to share with 1 or 2 people tops. I get time by myself because they rotate patients in & out so if you’re there for a week you have 3 different people & privacy in between. Also nurses are wonderful people who are overworked & drastically understaffed. Give them the respect they deserve & the patience they give patients… 👀… (they hear everything 🫣)
Bunnings WAS open on Good Friday
Yes it's pretty rare to get private rooms in Australian hospitals, most rooms are like you said, multiple bed around 6 or more separated by curtains that surround the bed. So if you get a loud or obnoxious neighbour... Rip
6 beds or more? I don't know which state you live in, but no. 6 beds to a room would be horrible.
@@mindi2050 QLD, yeah I'm not sure what the standard is but I'm pretty sure it's often at least 6 beds 🤔 but I'm not a frequent hospital goer so maybe I'm wrong, trying to remember from visiting family mostly, I definitely think it was at least 6 beds usually
@@SerenitySoonish As someone who has spent some time in public hospitals in recent years (as a patient), I honestly don't know how well I would have sleep, rested and recuperate properly with 5 other sick strangers in the room. From a health perspective, it's unfortunate if that's the way it is in Qld.
@@mindi2050 thankfully they usually aren't actually full in my experience but it definitely depends on various factors. I'm glad you had a better experience.
That's not a polymer note. It's an old paper one. That's why it's in that condition.
You could only exchange it at a bank for a lesser amount it it still had a set of serial numbers displayed.
That flooding Australia with the Mediterranean Sea seems like it would displace about 15 people but it would likely take out Townsville and Cairns by the look of it. So close to 250,000 people.
Is this an orthomorphic map Ryan? If it's the usual Mercator Projection as widely used e.g. schools, it makes Australia look small and the Northern Hemisphere look gigantic. This is not the case. Get an Orthomorphic Projection Map/Globe for true size.
You can drink here if you go to a hotel restaurant for instance, to have, but you cant take it away on Good Friday in NSW. at least...We do have a 4 day long weekend here tho, at Easter....
I'm pretty sure the aboriginal story is a cockatoo got burnt real bad so he grew long legs so he could run across the fire
The $50 was a fake note. It was printed on paper which is why it was damaged so easy. The clear window was sticky tape with hand drawn stars.
Australia used to have an inland sea, so not far fetched
Having spent fair bit of time in hospitals, I prefer to NOT have a private room. 6 to 8 people in the ward gives you someone to talk to, however you do sometimes get the problem patient that likes to call for a nurse every 30mins. A private room with nobody to talk to seems to make the time seem to go slower.
I prefer being alone in hospital and it has happened twice, as a public patient. The rest of the time in shared rooms the other patients are yabbering on so you can't get rest.
I've spent a fair bit of time in hospitals over the years. I would hate a 6 or 8 bed room. It would be too much.
Wouldn't be legal as it needs the number printed on it.
We have public hospitals and private hospitals. You can be a private patient in a public hospital. Private patients get t9 choose their doctors and specialists. Public don't. Generally in our public hospitals you have 2 to 4 patients per room, depending on the set up and on individual patients medical needs. Overall we have a great medical system compared to some other countries. Our biggest issue is probably our waiting time before you can see a specialist or non-urgent surgery
Cockatoos have very strong beaks, and can give you a nasty bite. It’s a bad idea to feed them, thus inviting them to your house/verandah/clothesline etc. They will chew up all your verandah railings, outdoor furniture, clothes pegs, or a thing else they can get their beaks on.
