These videos should be shown in the schools to remind the ungrateful how good Australia really is. You guys so love the things that a lot of us have taken for granted. It’s a good reminder. Thanks
Ummmm I hate disagreeing with anyone, BUT, I LOVE the fact Australia is so far away from everyone else, coz that's where my mother-in-law lives (on the other side of the world), THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT 🤣🤣🤣 For you guys, not so good maybe, for me a god send lmao.....
Haha well that’s one more ‘pro’ for you 😁❤️
@@TheBAMFamalam My grandmother always taught me to look on the bright side of life, and to look for the silver lining....So once again, the fact that airline tickets are now much more expensive, maybe not such a good thing for you guys, but once again a god send for me, because visits will now be cut down to every 4yrs instead of every 3. My life just keeps on getting better 😂🤣😂🤣❤
Your mother - in - law might be having the last laugh
@@adammuggleton4107 I doubt that very much. Pretty sure she's never laughed a day in her life lol
I love that we're away from all the dramas in Europe & elsewhere...
Welcome to Oz guys, you are very welcome to join us
Great video once again guys with lots of humour thrown in...you 2 are so funny, I love it 😀
Only 3 days now until fly out from Heathrow for our 3 week East Coast adventure, I cannot wait 😁
if you want oven like temperatures...go to the interior...rather than just to the north...certainly the north is hot but the temps are ameliorated by coastal air flow...keeping temps hot but not usually oven like....
1 1/2 hr drive will cover about 90% of major cities population to get to a beach. I'm in western Sydney Penrith and I'd rather go south coast or north coast to a beach as less crowded like city beaches
I think the same can be said for Kent in relation to the views - of course we are missing the beachside of the sunny coast but today we went for a walk at the Devils Kneading Trough in Wye Downs and it was delightful.
It’s funny you say it’s like starting over building a life again, it’s what we are a little nervous about moving back home next year. We have friends and we know the area but I know things have change since we left in 2018.
Loving your videos 🙂
I’m an Adelaide person. We have a temperate Mediterranean climate. It is hot occasionally, but it is lovely. Come visit!💕
Its a pain driving fro Syd to Ade.
Better for new migrants to stick to the eastern seaboard.
Im from the TopEnd (living in the UK and homesick) and spoiler alert we have no winter. if it drops below about 23 it makes the peper. But in the dry if you do go to the topend make sure you catch the sunset at the Mindil Beach Makets. so stunning it gets a round of applause
While Maz & Ben mentioned the Education system one thing they didn’t mention that can encompass Education and be outside Education and is an awesome PRO is that Maz & Ben have given their girls a fantastic, new, high quality childhood.
Australia can grow any food, vegetable or fruit because we have the cold down south and tropical regions up north. We have top quality meat and seafood. Maz & Ben’s kids are exposed to top quality food everywhere. Maz’s & Ben’s kids are growing up in a country where it lures you outside to exercise without even knowing you are doing it. Australians love their kids playing sport and towns and communities love their kids playing sport and joining clubs. Maz & Ben’s kids are also exposed to Australia’s Health System, yes like England in the fact that everybody is treated equal and if you are rich or poor you can still access quality, quick health care, but the weather, the food, education, and the health system ensures that Maz & Ben have made the right choice for their kids and they’ll eventually grow up to be healthy, happy Australians. That’s a major PRO and it really is about ‘Raising Kids in Australia’.
We do have severe flooding and fires but we have also been pretty good at combating these conditions over the years, but, things have now escalated to a whole new level in severity ... just like the rest of the world!! Good old Climate Change.
Flights from Birmingham to Alicante Spain with Tui return are £600 at the moment. It’s crazy how pricey flights are going up
I love when you leave in the funny bits !! awesome content guys!!
Thank you 🥰
Good job, I have no doubt that will help people looking at Oz as a place to live good points told honestly and with a bit of humour as well, Ben only! lol.
So glad to hear you say all this
Super glad you enjoyed it, thank you 🥰🥰
Spring 🌼 is here.!!
Woohoo 🏖
It’s such a lovely time of year here ❤️❤️
Darwin in the summer is the same as winter only more humid temps around 30 degrees of a day all year round
Australia is both and Island and a continent. Being remote is what will save Australia. I love it!
safe it agenst climate changes ? they gonna have a hard time
Remote from what? Europe.
@@scottwilliam6141 The rest of the word. No bordering countries.
@@The_Stoic_PhilosopherAU . It doesn't share a land border, that doesn't make it remote from the world. Is Japan remote from the world?
@@The_Stoic_PhilosopherAU But the chinese are around the corner.
Always enjoy yr work
Nice video and good pros and cons. Well done 👍
Glad you enjoyed, thank you for watching 🥰🥰
Expensive and difficult visas - yes true, but when I got a contract for a 4 years in England in 2005 it cost my wife several thousand dollars and hurdles like a UK knowledge test to get UK residency for four years to join me. We were married and she was a skilled graduate. I was OK as I was born in the UK and had dual citizenship. My wife was of Anglo background but her ancesters came over 100 years ago so she could not claim UK citizenship automatically. I actually think for both countries this is fair enough. Seeking residency in Singapore and Thailand is also not cheap. So it is the same in most places, but thanks for the videos.
Yes, I'd say you would cook in the NT ...you're very funny Maz 😄 😆
Love this! Yeah always do the right thing 👌
Glad you enjoyed, thank you for watching 🥰🥰
@@TheBAMFamalam i always enjoy your uploads mate! Keep it up!
@@TravelinAus aww thank you so much 🥰🥰
I loved Boreen camp ground, spent 2 weeks there in my van when visiting a friend in Noosaville. Tewantin had an awesome butcher near the woolies front door next to BWS ( forget their name ) Took a day trip over to Wolvi to meet a friend whos blue heeler i had fostered ( his name was Dundee, aka Dunny ) 6 years before, wed never met, but Dunny remembered me when i pull up at the gate and actually let me in.
Boreen Point is lovely, we’ve filmed there a few times ❤️ They are such smart dogs 🥰
@@TheBAMFamalam Dundee wasnt as happy to see Blaze, my Kelpie hed lived with here, however. :)
Awesome video guys!!!
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
Love your laugh M . Glad that you both view this nation with belief in its offerings then present it clearly without overdoing it Like to see more like you pair instead of some of the misfits that land here and never find happiness . The best education outside school system is for anyone to be living here and enjoying it as much as possible
Thank you so much 🥰 Obviously this doesn’t go for everyone, but we’ve seen many people move here with the idea that it would solve their problems, that never ends well xx
Excellent as usual. Have you done a vid about a step by step procedure to get a visa etc? Not for me 😀, I am 6th gen, but for others interested in moving here
Been in Sydney since 2018. Since then there’s been fires, which meant Smokey air for months. Covid so no flying anywhere and then heavy rain for 3 years in a row. Now the air fairs have doubled so I can barely afford to visit my family in Europe. No it’s not worth it. It’s culturally lacking too. If you aren’t bothered by isolation and a “blandness” to everything then it’s great.
At least regarding the visa process we might actually and finally see an improvement with the new Labor government. Beginning of September, there will be a big summit with representatives from unions and the industry. The chances that the annual intake will be increased up to 200k, better processing time through more staffing, and better access to permanent residency are good. Certainly more encouraging than it has previously been!
Where are you going to put the people from increased immigration. In the outback?
@@lakeofbays1622 200K PA is too many.
I really don't think OZ can sustain a pop of 40 mils.
@@RUHappyATM Canada is taking 500 K, per annum.
You may say Australia is far away from other countries. Maybe based on your perspective, however, an Advantage Australia has is that, you are so near many Asian countries, including my original country, the Philippines, which is very welcoming to tourists and in fact, has, on record, several hundred thousand immigrants. Please do watch the video “Wake Up in the Philippines” just to get a visual feel of the country.
Such good Karma. Right mind, right action!
Bravo great video
Thanks Tracy 🥰
I just commented on the latest cost of living in Australia and somehow it ended up on the wrong video! Don' know how I managed that.
No winter in northern Territory..just dry season and wet season wet season is very humid
We thought the 30 degree days were their winter 😆
Beware of going troppo up north.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAM FAM
G'day mate 🐨
@@TheBAMFamalam g'day legends ❤️
Red headed Scot 56 years here never got skin cancer. Hat long sleeve tops sunscreen. Done🤣🤣🤣
Hi Guys, I worked in Caloundra 12 years ago and have a lot of passion, especially fruit! What visa did you get? I have an Msc already, but dont want the 70,000 people on the 492 visa on a wait for 2 years and applying is just a dream!
I am hoping to return to Sydney
Hi there guys what do you do for a living I meant for money other than only talking.
Some of your fees are comparable to what I pay in small town Utah but others are really shocking. My bills per month- Electricity (no AC) $39, Home Owner's Ins $54, Car Reg. $5.33. A massive difference. This video was a real eye opener.I know wages are good there but, oh dear!
Gosh, those are so low! ❤️
Don’t forget they are talking about it in AUD not USD for the family of 4 or 5 people in their family.
@@Prince077Aussie This is true. But even then some of the costs are still shocking.
Yep had to laugh. See us Aussies love to tell you where to go and we will even give you a map to help you🤣😁🤣😁🙃🙃
I feel like I’ve seen the same video 453467 times, is it time for a road trip perhaps?
U guys are hilarious (ben's only fans 🤣)!!!
Nice
Thank you 🥰
Nowadays, unless physical contact is important to you, what's wrong with video calls?
Hi guys, enjoyed your video! What are rashies?--Don't know if I spelled that right?(:
A rash guard, also known as rash vest or rashie, is an athletic shirt made of spandex and nylon or polyester. The name rash guard reflects the fact that the shirt protects the wearer against rashes caused by abrasion, or by sunburn from extended exposure to the sun, as sun protective clothing.
They’re popular for swimming, particularly for children.
I have a question. With all the inflation increases, food fuel etc. Do you regret coming to Australia or do you feel the UK and the world is all in the same boat? Are you still glad you came from an economic point of view? I know you love the country and lifestyle but have you had any doubts?
The UK has been hit harder than us by the sounds of it - also, their wages are lower, so they don’t have that buffer like we do, many people there are struggling. I think even if it was harder here we would still make it work though - we wouldn’t want to allow money to stand in the way of our dreams, plus we truly believe we are doing the best for our children 😊
When I first moved to Australia in 1988 I was surprised that the cost of living was not cheap, as I'd been led to expect. Housing was not cheap either. But after a few years I was able to buy a house, which I'm certain I could not have done in the UK. Later I left to work in NZ for a while. Came back to Australia with no money, in fact in debt. Within a few years I'd recovered and bought a house (again) which I'd never have done if I'd stayed in NZ. So two times I have moved to Australia and really found it the land of opportunity. Mind you in both cases I had high skill level and was prepared to work hard. If you're like that I think you can do very well. I wonder about the US where the cost of living and the cost of housing is so cheap, but then I remember that the majority of americans seem to be dicks and their education system sucks so I'd come back to Australia any time.
The Australian government, but also governments around the world, are starting to treat any sort of 'visitor' as another cash cow to suck as much money out of as possible. I absolutely object to the ridiculously expensive and bureaucratic trends of the Australian visa system - please complain and object as much as you can or it will only get worse.
Please make a video on buying a car
Slap that sunscreen on pohms.
Otherwise by 60 you'll be spending money on skin cancer removal.
Queensland is the go, Bundaberg through to Hervey Bay region is still affordable.
I'm Ozzie pohm decent 3rd generation.
Hello brother❤️❤️❤️❤️
G'day 👋🏼
Heh heh heh 👍but don't tell everyone 😉
Are these transplanted pom's convicts or screws?
Snakes and spiders?? What about those jellyfish?
Bear, Maz, Trav, how are you guys?….😂😂
Haha we are good - Trav’s been out in the paddocks all day enjoying the sun with Ben 😁🚜
@@TheBAMFamalam You know I’m going to keep mentioning Trav and Bears relationship don’t you?…😀😀😀
Ben - are you sponsored by superdry??
He wishes! 😁
So, why do you think, a lot of Australians have left Australia for countries like USA and Canada ?.
For the reasons of heat, slow internet speed, spiders on their walls, Reptiles in their backyards ?.
British Columbia, Canada has similar weather as Australia.
A lot of Americans and Canadians are moving to Australia in large numbers too. Every country has their problems but Australia is still a great place to live.
@@biggiedii4889 If you come to British Columbia, Canada, you will see thousands of Australians living and working here. I have some Australian friends working with me and they are very happy here.
By the way, Canada is only 7 hours away from UK, not 46 hours.
@@Smart_Tamaha I know some there, I spent some time there on a WHV there too. Difference is they're only there temporarily on WHV. Once their visa period is over they move back to Australia. Most Canadians in Australia are permanent migrants. I don't really care about the UK so distance doesn't really matter esp considering how $$ it is to fly domestically in Canada. And don't even get me started on the atrocious price of phone plans.
@@biggiedii4889 No, you are wrong.
All the Australians that I know in British Columbia are Canadian Citizens, not PR.
@@Smart_Tamaha No, you're wrong and probably only know a few. Only half of Australians in Canada are citizens. That's quite low for an immigrant group.
You might not think much of it at the moment, but once you are here the loneliness is overpowering. I missed old friends, family and the culture. Nothing could compensate for it.
I think it depends on your mindset.
Can you survive on your own or do you need your family around you?
I think emigrating suits people who can be independent, but that's just me.
Lots of land but most of it is desert
The Liberals (our Tories) made a point of making every service as difficult as possible, including visa/PR/citizenship. Even for Aussies, there's a huge backlog at the passport office, so we have to wait a long time for one. So glad we voted them out!
I'M IN PERTH

@@libatalklieb5793 IT'S NOT AS DANGEROUS
It’s weird. I’ve watched the Bams videos so much I’m picking up a Pommie accent. Meanwhile Ben and Maz are picking up Aussie accents…..
i'm yankee but i lived in oz 2 1/2 years (wollongong, nsw). every country has it's strengths and its weaknesses and i must say that although i really didn't appreciate the 4 times some bogan wanted to fight me over my accent i will say fer the most part oz does not have the sick workaholic culture that we have here in the states. free time is the goal and everybody knows that. here in the u.s. it's almost considered shameful. nobody comes right out and says it but it's a glaring cultural norm all the same. i love my country but their are aspects of my culture i hate and that's one of em'.
and no offense whatsoever to these awesome folks with their great attitudes but down in oz english immigrants do complain alot about everythang. way more than they ever do in the states which i find odd because the english are always so quick to wanna tell americans all about how much "better" the u.k. is than the u.s.
Nah sorry mate - 4.30, I gotta go home now.
@@IanKemp1960 if yer boss was american you mite then be called a "clockwatcher" and be berated fer having a "bad work ethic".
Hello mate, I’ve lived in Wollongong for 34 years and love it. So much to do and see. We don’t live to work, we work to live. Our attitude is that you have to get the right work/leisure balance, and living in the gong everyone is no more than 10 minutes from 50-60 beaches.
@@bobmcdougall8981 i lived in a less affluent area but i liked it too. similar to L.A. where i'm from in many respects. but watch out my man if australia is ever big in population or wealthy enough you'll no doubt have the same issue. oz is still a relatively small economy and doesn't share a 3,000 mile border with a third world narco state which saves y'all a whole lotta of grief. that's just 2 factors many ozzies overlook when ranting about how much better oz is than the states.
I miss the boo boo.
Skin cancer...please wear a hat...and live a long life...lol
Too bad Australia has no more freedom.
Say what?
Your village must be missing you.
