![THIS WEEK IN AUSTRALIA [70]](/img/n.gif)
Aboriginals don't do the haka that's the Maori's of New Zealand
Thank you.
@@davidberriman5903 & new zealand IS NOT AUSTRALIA it's another country has there own passport & government
@@veetwotls As a seventy one year old Australian with a number of expat New Zealand friends I am well aware that New Zealand is a separate Government.
When you go camping and wake up at 3am to hear koalas fighting just outside your tent, that's when you REALLY start to believe in drop bears.
A friend woke up in the night and skedaddled back to the car because of the crocodile that was watching.
@@lynneperry7454 rofl!! Yeah I'd be doing the same - the crocodile has a tent now!
In my case it was a massive bushy tail possum that smelled something it wanted in the tent. Claws running down the outside of the tent, shredding it to pieces. Moral of story, keep any food secured outside of tent.
I don’t think those snakes were fighting to the death, I think Mr and Mrs snake were up to something else.
That cassowary sitting under the beach umbrella is priceless.
We weren't happy with shortening tracksuit pants to trackie dacks, we shorten that again to "trackies".
Wearing my trakkies right now.
Those two snakes? they weren't fighting. 😉
Sea foam might hide sea snakes. Highly venomous but very timid and human deaths are extremely rare.
"Sheilas" = SHEE -LAHS.
No Haka! No! Bad Ryan! You'll get the Kiwis riled up!
The narrator sounds like some sort of weird Aussie/Pommy/AI hybrid.
I figure Steve was the best speed skater as he was the only one who didn’t fall over
What a hero, he worked hard for that Gold Medal for years, and really earned it! 👍
its no different to a f1 car that cant keep up with the fastest cars using pit stops more effectively or soft tyres at the most crucial part of a race. his strategy was to stay as close as he could and capitilize on soemthing happening , he would have been happy with bronze ...
NO SUCH THING AS LUCK
LUCK IS WHEN PREPERATION MEETS OPPORTUNITY
... and it wasn''t our first olympic gold medal just first for skating - not much ice to practice on
Plus he had to pretty amazing to get there, then extremely amazing to stay on his feet when no one else did….then the poor guy has copped it for years saying he only won because everyone else fell. I think he’s awesome.
@@VrajaVilasini Absolutely, he survived lack of support and training opportunities and then horrendous injuries, he got to the final alone and he did it his way - so proud! 👍
Dude the Māori Haka war dance is from New Zealand.. you just said an Islander from Australia would do the Haka
There’s that many Māoris in aussie he’s technically right lol
New Zealand is an island of Australian 😂 and the native Australians used to do the haka years ago. Their one.🤠
@@turtle-frogsyeah nah, they didn’t. 230 plus Nations (a Yank would say tribe), none, did war dances. Islanders of Polynesian descent had similar.
But that guy looked Aboriginal, but either way, nah, Haka, is 100% not Australian and Māoris even if more live in Australia now than NZ, jokes aside, would probably want to correct him on that..
@Cairns74 they use to on palm Island in the 50 and 60's before a footy match.Nrl. We use to go over in a boat from a little town called Lucinda. They all did it but stopped some time later can't remember when or why.
Yes, I caught that one too and thought whoops; duck for all the low-flying triggered ppl
Mate we are a land of immigrants. Just like US. US had just as many convicts sent to it during its early days. Convict descendants are about as rare as aboriginal descendants in Australia these days, the rest are free immigrants from every country in the globe
1/5 Australians are descended from a convict. Also, America was discovered over 500 years ago. The indentured servants sent there (to Maryland mainly) were a drop in the ocean of the America's existing population at the time. There is no evidence that they got significant amounts of these indentured servants. There was one researcher who theorised that it could be up to 200 thousand but that goes against the mainstream view and as there was no records its viewed generally as a made up number. Whereas convicts were the initial population of modern Australia and the British kept records of every boat sent.
@@mjones8170indentured servants are different to convicts. An estimated 56,000 convicts were sent to the American colonies. Many to Virginia.
Not joking with you, we call a "Slide" like as in a childrens slide at a playground a "Slippery Dip".
I have always known it as a slippery slide.
No slippery dips in Tasmania or Western Australia!
@@mika72.-Bois WA here - we just say "slide"
Slide in Victoria
always knew them as a slippery dip too...from South Australia...maybe thats why
Slippery Dip in NSW
The guy poking the huntsman spider... literally me every time I see a huntsman come into our house. It runs away from my fingers at vmax as soon as I touch them on a leg... if it had a voice I'm sure you would hear it screaming in terror!😅
Just FYI, the Road Subject to Melting sign is a Flooding warning sign. The asphalt does get that soft at times though in hot weather and really screws up your tyres.
"You're a bunch of...descendants of convicts" My Australian ears pricked up at the pause and I looked up expecting to hear it.
Not true!
But having a criminal record is not mandatory now. 😂
“The word daks began as a proprietary name (trademarked in the 1930s) for a brand of trousers. In Australia daks became used as a generic term for trousers from the 1960s.” We now spell it dacks.
The bird dropping the snake on a family actually happened to my family.It was dropped onto the concrete by a kookaburra and it was a red bellied black snake.The birds drop them to kill the snakes.Unfortunately my sister in law was 8months pregnant and was so happy it missed her otherwise we might have been in for a early birth.
I had a wedge tailed eagle drop a brown snake on my car once. I wouldn’t get out until it picked it up again.
That's not a newly discovered spider, water striders are well known. They skimmed on the water's surface around the fishing lines on the Murrumbidgee River.
The citizenship one LOL!!
Ryan, most Aussies are not descended from convicts. The vast majority are migrants and children of migrants, from UK, Europe and Asia! I’m a great granddaughter of an English woman and a Chinese man + an Irish couple from Dublin. None of them were convicts. My brother married a Croatian girl, and many of my friends are Italians and Asians.
It’s about 20%.
It’s about 20%.
Well I'm from convicts that were forced by the govt of the day to breed with other convicts :) ya frikkin noob :)
But most of us like to think we are, at least psychologically.
It's 1/5 Australians that are descended from at least one convict. That's actually a fair amount if you think about.
The sign about the road meltingf was fake. Roads used to melt in the heat in the tropics, but they are generally made of better stuff now. I remember riding around Townsvill as a kid and th bike tyres woud be geting stuck in the asphalt. And yes, my thongs/flip flops would be stuck like in the photo.
It used to happen where I grew up in Sydney. Nothing worse than walking out of your stuck-to-the-road thongs and stepping bare-footed into melted tar. Then it was a bastard to get the set tar off your feet and toes later.
Hey bro I think if you haven’t done one yet you should do a video on the beer can regatta in Darwin. Just another subject that will blow your mind
Thanks Ryan - get better dude -cheers!
I appreciate how you challenge any fact 14:15
The fire hawk is true. Not common to see, but there you go. They are looking for food, fleeing the flames.
We now have a saying, Last Man Standing good on you Steve. Ryan I cant believe you wrote down 1/2 of these to check to see if true, Do you want to buy a bridge m8??
Remember not all Aussies are descendants of convicts… the jailers & aristocrats descendants are here too…
Oh dear Ryan you have definitely looked better haha
Get well soon yo ☺️
Yes, that is the southern edge of South Australia. The Bunda Cliffs are nearly 400 feet high in places and 40 miles long, they are at the edge of the Nullarbor Plain where it meets the sea. I converted it to imperial measurements for you. There are a couple of lookouts that are great places for whale watching. If you ever get the chance to drive across the Nullarbor they are well worth stopping to look at. I couldn’t go anywhere near the edge but my husband did. Luckily we were in a spot where the curve meant I could get a good view of them from a bit further back.
Your wrong on the assumption that all us Aussies were descendants of convicts, my great great grandfather came to Australia from Somerset in England and landed at Hobart “town” in 1829 and was a free settler along with all my other great great grandparents on all sides, I’m not sure of the ratio in the old days but a greater number were free settlers, so just want to get that straight as there seems that a lot people from overseas tend to have this incorrect idea
Agree, although as an 8 generation Aussie, I have a few on the family tree!
And once word got out that there was gold in Victoria EVERYONE wanted to come to Australia. Many Americans at the tail end of the California gold rush set sail for Melbourne to make their fortune at Ballarat and Bendigo. Some never returned. "In the ten years from 1851, Melbourne more than quadrupled its population ― from 77,000 to 540,000, almost half the total population of Australia." Looks more like over 6 fold to me than 4 times.
Also plenty of Australians here originally from China, other parts of Asia, Europe, Africa etc.
Fun fact; The blend 43 glass is so thick it's genuinely a viable weapon that likely won't break
I love this British dry humour and monotonous voice, everything is equal and hilarity must be contained - no emotional attachments! 😂 True, we do all this, we even send Australians to America to hone their Aussie accent! That's not a knofe'! 😁
That’s not an Australian Accent, he sounds like an English Man to me ❤❤❤
Sounds like English AI.
That's an Australian person.
If he’s Australian why does he sound English?
@@judithstrachan9399 He doesn't
19:03 "Do the haka"?... sipping on a cup of tea, waiting for someone to lose their shit.
I hope they won't be adopting the Haka next, that's Polynesian warriors only!
indigenous australians have their own "dance" they don't need to copy Maori
That translation 16:41 should’ve been “blokes and Sheila’s, cheers for coming thiseve “
I have been camping in Australia and had big huntsman spider crawling across my sleeping bag. Also when living in Roxby Downs in the desert I would occasionally get centipedes or lizards crawl across my bed. You get used to it.
Yes Boxwars is real and is held each year with a different theme. Two teams create everything made of cardboard to then destroy it all with a battle all for good fun.
I'd love to go join or just watch it as it looks awesome.
Box Wars started in Melbourne on 26th January, 2002. Apparently, it has been taken up overseas by some equally passionate and creative people.
Still want those Dollarydoos.
My dad went camping with a mate in the 80’s up in Lakeland national park. He spent one night in the tent, then he slept in the back of the car (he was 6 foot 6) for the next few nights. The reason, he woke up the first morning and found one of his thong missing and the other chewed by something with big teeth, yep a croc had come up to their tent during the night.
Apparently Pluto is 2370km wide while Australia is 4000km wide 😳🤯. That’s going by google. I’m an Aussie and that blew my mind, it also works out to be approx half the width of America
What? You call them trakky dacks?? Me: ummm.. I just literally put mine on 5 minutes ago!😅
Haka😄 you're going to pay for that faux pas
We go to Box Wars every year! It's on Boxing Day in Melbourne. Yes the cardboard Battlements do break, the winner is the side with the most semi-intact armour! Different theme annually.
The hail melts as it falls then refreeze causing the spikes
👋👋👉👉That's something that surprised me, It would appear some individuals believe Australia doesn't exist. We are all actors and the animals are fake, and let's not forget Kangaroos are robots.
Damn! They aren't paying me. Where do I contact them. I have been doing this for over seventy years. Just think of th back pay.
@@davidberriman5903 We probably need a manager! and a contract!😅
@@davidberriman5903 plus interest
Yes, as a paid actor I want my pay, including back pay from the date I came here! Do I have to contact Fairwork? 💲💲💲🇦🇺 😂😂😂
@@elenawilliams32 Oh! crap, how much should we ask for? My mom needs new dentures we need to pay the bills😅
Ryan you could go to so many of our coastal regions and be blown away… they are beautiful … some are small hamlets, others are like the towns at the Sunshine Coast…go south and check out the Mid North Coast of NSW. Beautiful beaches , beautiful regions.
I enjoy watching your vids, it makes me appreciate being Australian haha
Aussies know quite a bit of American geography because of your songs, your movies and TV shows which teach us all the time. Australia has six states and two territories, while the US has fifty states including Hawaii out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and Alaska, which hangs off the coast of Canada. We know a lot of states and capitals because they’re often said together in scripts, eg, Atlanta, GA, Cincinnati, OH, Louisville, KY and Seattle, WA, just to name a few.
Box Wars started in Melbourne in 2003.
I used to live in a Sydney suburb that got hit by a tornado just over 2 years ago, wiped out the roofs of hundreds of houses.
The burgers are better (than McDonald’s) at Hungry Jacks, but that was before Macca’s made Aussie style burgers as well.
Ok mate!! Ryan come on you’re taking notes to check stuff out and you go straight past our Reef story! This is huge, they tie coral to a frame and they play music from active reefs which encourages growth. The sound makes the coral think that some of the 23-25% of the fish in the ocean that need a reef to live in is actually there so it grows, it’s amazing!!! Check it
out man!
Hi Ryan, @06:14 that IS how you were table served in Macca's about 6 to 8 years ago. Not anymore, I miss that. The chips / fries were also brought out in a mini aluminium basket, that resembled the deep fryer basket. Then you also got melted bacon and cheese on the chips, or gravy and a few other options, they had really upped their game, but it has dropped and even more so since covid, but at least their burgers and range are still better than the U.S.A. and the presentation too. Having said that, I still prefer H.J. for quality and presentation or OPORTO, of which has a great range but not many outlets as it used to.
Sea foam can be toxic and best avoided. "You'll usually find a lot of sea snakes in the foam, they seem to be attracted to it." IT IS created by impurities in the ocean, such as salts, natural chemicals, dead plants, decomposed fish and excretions from seaweed. These impurities are churned together by powerful waves, which cause the water to form bubbles.” Wiki 24 Feb 2015
The moon will fit inside Australia.
Literally spider season is always like that😭😭
I love how much you know about Australia
Love your show. We have a calypso here in s.a. it is a toasted hot dog roll with hot dog,ham and cheese yummy !❤️🇦🇺
Mate, the Haka is New Zealand and yes awesome but the Elder coming to her graduation is awesome
We have a possum problem here next to the scrub,, they bounce on our roof, come into the house and go through your rubbish bins and their mating call/ritual scares the big jesus out of ya.
The same is said about American we’re sent there to get out of prison. Only about 10 % were convicts the rest of our land immigrants. I’m a mix of Irish, Scottish English and Australian. It’s why I can actually fit with my self lol.
I didn’t travel overseas till a few years ago. Mostly UK, France and Germany. It wasn’t till I was on the plane coming home that the difference in the animal hostility quotient struck me. Nothing had tried to kill, bite, poison or drop ;) on me for a month!
Fexofenadine is useful for hayfever. Doesn't eliminate it entirely but I get a 50% improvement. Never once got hayfever in North America, Asia, Africa or Europe, but as soon as I returned to Australia it stuck with me for years.
1.Pluto is the smallest planet and by far the furthest away. About 17 years ago it was decided to call it a non planet. More recently sense prevailed and it became a planet again. 2. About 15 years ago, I was at a truck stop on The Hume Freeway and used the men's toilets. An old style urinal made of stainless steel, where males peed against the wall of the urinal. A sign read "WE AIM TO PLEASE. YOU AIM TOO PLEASE.". 3. Tornados or Cyclones as we call them in the Southern Hemisphere as rotate the other way, are common. In the inland I have driven and watched dust devils and whirly whirlies which are generated by the same forces. It's comment to see 15 such at any one time. They rarely go above 50 feet.
The App recognised that you are an honorary Aussie.
‼️Misleading Winter Olympics stats! 🇦🇺 As of Beijing 2022, Australia has won 19 Winter Olympic medals - 6 gold, 7 silver and 6 bronze. Steven was the first from a country known for its sun, sand and surf. “Australia's maiden gold came in highly unlikely (but very worthy) circumstances. Steven Bradbury, a member of the bronze-winning 1994 relay team, won gold in short track speed skating on 17 February when all of his competitors in the 1,000 m final crashed out on the final turn while jostling for the medal positions.” The winner is the first to cross the finish line on his feet. Only Steven managed to do that!
Summer Olympics: More than 400 medals overall.
nerd
16:30 It's pronounced "Sheela's" you know like the woman's name Sheila. A "Sheila" is aussie slang for a female person.
Also trackie dacks makes perfect sense to us. Dacks is aussie for pants/trousers, and trackie as in tracksuit. So tracksuit pants, becomes trackie dacks.
Nescafe Blend 43 is literally made in my home town, Gympie Queensland. Great place. Its the town that saved Queensland.
Hi, Mick. I’m almost a local. Closer to Gympie than Toowoomba.
Australia national animal is an emu because it can’t walk backwards. Indicating we don’t retreat.
"That's not Australian McDonalds." Not any more, but they did trial doing full on fancy burgers like that for a couple of years. I tried one and they were actually pretty good, but they were about as expensive as a burger from a restaurant or Grill'd and not QUITE as good.
Traccy dacks translated is Tracksuit Pants
Australia doesn't have tornados at all unless it's in a certain area
17:34 NO WAY I JUST FOUND AN AIR FILLED CORN CHIP WHILE EATING NACHOS TODAY (I ate it)
I am Australia. Can't pick guys accent but got a good laugh out of your last podcast.
We are not all descendants from convicts, a lot of us migrated from England on the 10 pound scheme. Even though one of my daughters teachers couldn’t understand this and kept telling the kids that they are all descendants of convicts if they have British ancestors
Thanks Ryan. I always enjoy what other people think of our country. Most of it is true but some not. I'll let you work out what isn't. You'll be surprised.
Kangaroos do use drowning as a defence when threatened.
Not all Australian states were convict settled, just the Eastern states. Also, there are many immigrants here too.
Only South Australia was totally free settlers.
And WA.
He doesn't even sound Australian, more like a robot
Where is the biggest desert in the world? -- Between the ears of an Australian.
Plants are also dangerous in Australia for the usual reasons, but there is an unusual one called the widow maker. It is a dead branch that falls from high up to go straight down. If you are just under it, good-bye. I actually saw one while sitting on the porch at a friend's house in the forest. Across the road I heard a crack, looked up and saw a huge branch falling like that from at least 10 meters.
You don't need much to worry about great white sharks, the most dangerous for people are bull sharks which are widely found in Australia, and also in the US.
It is a bit surprising that he didn't mention that Australian 4x4's often have snorkels. Those are so the motor can still get air and run if they enter a low roadway which captured some water.
As for the accent, it can be impossible to understand some working-class Ozzies. A friend of mine was like that and sometimes his wife saw that I didn't get it and translated for me.
dem sneks arent fighting ;)
I was raised here in Australia but was an exchange student in America. And compared to Americans, let me say, we have it easy in Australia. I mean, I had so much fun in America, but everyday life there is more dangerous and just a bit scary. We have a mostly sherltered life in Australia. Unless we live in one of the suburbs that the Spaniard tends to visit, which are rough ghetto areas. We do have rough ghetto areas in the cities, we just hide them from the tourists.
Not all of us have convict history. South Australia was free settlers only . Ours a gentleman farmer who came from Salisbury England.
Re the great white sharks, Ryan, " all around the coast", would you like another go at that?
9:58 reminds me of youth group, guys would get "dacked" which I guess Americans would call getting pantsed? Or something. And it was mid 00s so we all had baggy jeans so were basically halfway there lol
That's a true thing the road can get so hot that your thongs (sandals) melt...
The only reason I know about the Great Emu war is because Americans ask me about it... I had to look it up just to see if it was true.
The great barrier reef is dying - its so sad.
9:55 100% trackie daks
That sign has been photoshopped! It says “subject to flooding”. However walking across the road in a heatwave, and I’m talking above 40C which is rare, sometimes means the tar has melted and you need to avoid it.
Nooooo! Ryan, you said the aboriginal guy was going to do the Haka? Wrong island mate - that's Little Australia!
That wasn't a dog eating a shark - it was a Dingo... What's wrong with Tracky Dacks, Im wearing them now as it's less than 30 degrees celsius so it's quite cold here...
Australian accept could be Slurrrbian...
My dad dad went somewhere in Indiana and he had Australian accent and went to pee in a mental institution by accident walked in hiding there and just walked in and pissed himself and then got taken into mental Institute and that was an actual patient faking it Australian accent
i didn't get a word of that
@@Rivelen976you and me both mate 😂😂
Cool story, bro
Very confusing.
I THINK he’s saying his Dad went into the institution & was mistaken for an actual patient.
hiiii. first relatively new upload i've found
19:04 just thought i should inform you as an aussie with a New Zealander mother, the Haka in a New Zealand (Maori) think not an Australian (Aboriginal) thing.
Lots of great white sharks here.
When Australia voted to became a country in 1901 they wrote the constitution to include an open invitation for New Zealand to join. They even have the Name for the currency "the ZAC" if it were to ever happen.
It’s Sheila, (sheela) a girl’s name. It used to be used by Ockers (Paul Hogan types) to describe a woman but these days comes across as derogatory.
I have an Aunty Sheila, so def not for me!
Sheila is female as bloke is male. Neither are derogatory. Just ocka.
It may be dangerous to camp out in Australia but I have never thought of it as such. It's all 'home'. It's all 'safe' as far as I'm concerned. Familiarity breeds complacency I guess.
OK, I get it now & it is funny😂
Haha, so when I was a kid, maybe 15 or 16 walking to town with no shoes on of course, after about 20 mins of feeling nothing ‘cause you know how feet are tough, hit that pointy stone ahh, but then round the corner hit the bitchaman and the tare stick to my foot, it was so freakin hot I ran to the grass and we had to pull off the tare, it was an uncomfortable walk home, but you know had to do it, not like the parents where coming out looking for me, they had no idea how far id walked and no phones, and public phones either not close by, or broken haha
Camping in Australia is virtually hazardous free, if you are careful of obvious things. We don’t have bears… f bears. I can take anything in my neck of the woods (crocodiles are +1000kms from me), I wouldn’t camp in some of your woods for love or money
they're called track pants
My brother burnt the soles of his feet on the bitumen in QLD one summer.
