Hi you two! I just discovered your channel and decided to watch this, even though I’m e seen the video you’re reacting to, because it’s always interesting to see what other people think. I can explain the “shrimp on the barbie” thing. Back when Paul Hogan was becoming famous for the Crocodile Dundee movies, he did some ads for Tourism Australia with the goal of inviting Americans to come and visit. (They think we are too far away, but Aussies are used to the distances and travel everywhere. So in these ads, Paul invited Americans to come down to Australia, and when they do, he’ll put another shrimp on the barbie” for them. Of course we have prawns in our waters, small shrimp live in Asian waters, the kind they make into shrimp paste and dried shrimps used in cooking, as well as the finger ring sized ones they toss through fried rice. But in the US, they have the larger shrimp in their waters, so if Paul had said Prawn on the barbie, no one would have known what he was talking about, so they changed it to shrimp.

@Jeni10 Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us! 🙏 We really appreciate you clearing up the ‘shrimp on the barbie’ trivia - it’s fascinating to know the history behind it! That Paul Hogan ad must have really resonated, and it’s great to understand why they used 'shrimp' instead of 'prawn.' Historical tidbits like this make us love diving into Aussie culture even more. 😊 Thanks again for sharing this with us, and welcome to the channel!
Watching and thumbs up❤❤
@jrosealmendras88 Thank you so much for watching and giving us a thumbs up! 🙌 We really appreciate your support - it means a lot to us! 😊 Hope you enjoyed the video and stay tuned for more fun content coming your way. 💙
Aussies love to travel, especially within Australia. We fly from state to state when we just have a week or two, but if we have a few months to a year, we can circumnavigate the Aussie coastline or once we reach Adelaide, turn north and head to Alice Springs and Uluru. Although the major cities are far apart, you can do a road trip from Sydney down the south coast or head up north, and stop at the rural towns along the way - plenty of interesting places to explore, shops with oddities and artisans making all kinds of things from freshly baked breads to handmade chocolates to craft beers and much more. We can also use State Rail and Interstate Rail to have a relaxing ride between major cities, scenic and stress free.
"@Jeni10 Thanks so much for sharing this! 🙏 We absolutely love the idea of embracing the Aussie love for travel. Exploring all those amazing rural towns, scenic coastlines, and hidden gems sounds like a dream! We’re definitely adding some of these spots to our itinerary - can’t wait to see more of what this beautiful country has to offer. 🚗🗺️ It’s inspiring to hear about how much there is to experience, and we’re excited to hit the road! Thanks again for the great tips! 😊"
Definitely won't be straying from the path...."venomous" was all we needed to hear lol! These were some really great facts and unknown info you shared, we had no idea about any of this! Very helpful for one day when we visit! Thanks for sharing fam, great video! 🙂
Australia is very safe . I've spent 50 years walking through the bush through knee deep grass. Watch where you put your feet and hands and you'll be fine. If you see a snake just stand still and let the snake move on. Up north stay away from the water unless advised by someone very knowledgeable that it is safe
Thank you so much, @matthewcullen1298, for sharing your wisdom and 50 years of experience! 🙌 It’s so reassuring to hear about your time in the Australian bush - we’ll definitely keep that advice in mind! 🐍 Your knowledge makes us feel more confident about exploring the outdoors. And we agree, being mindful and respectful of nature is key. 🌿 Stay safe, and thanks again for being part of our community! 💙 What’s your favourite spot in the bush? We’d love to hear more stories! 😊
Haha, ‘venomous’ was enough to keep us sticking to the path too! 😆 No bushwhacking adventures for us anytime soon! Who knew there was so much to learn about snakes and safety down under? 🐍 We’ll try to stay safe, and admire nature from a distance, but we love the adventures, so it's a tough one for us! 😂 Appreciate the support as always, fam! 🙌
@@the_jallohfamily Good morning folks😀 I'm sorry I missed where you live but I'm out just west of Brisbane. I was born on the gold coast in the 70s and it was still quite rural at Mudgeeraba where I grew up until I was a teenager. My grandparents were dairy farmers in the gold coast hinterland and dad was born in Canungra. Having grown up around farms and later doing a lot of bushwalking I've seen a lot of snakes. Grandma and Grandad always had snakes around the old milking shed and the creek as well as around their other property which dad has just sold. If you get a chance please visit lamington national park which runs from Binna Burra mountain over to O'Reillys It's gorgeous old world rainforest and also has sections of majestic eucalyptus forest and very open sections of low scrubby bush. The tracks are fairly well maintained and marked and as long as you have reasonable fitness you'll be just fine. I would suggest O'Reillys to begin with. The road can be a little daunting as it's quite high and slopes steeply off the side but just take your time and you'll be right as rain. It has a fantastic cafe up there and if you want to make a weekend of it they have very comfortable units and a nice little pub/restaurant there. A favourite for tourists is the treetop walk where you can walk on a suspension bridge up in the trees. There are also some spectacular waterfalls . One of my favourite spots in South East Queensland is Mt Barney national park which has towering mountains you can walk up but it's a place where you'll require a fairly good level of fitness and a spot where you may well see an eastern brown . I have been at face level with one there . I just remained calm and we both enjoyed our day. May I advise if you are going to hike a bit to get some reasonable comfortable hiking boots with good ankle support and I wear gaiters, which are heavy duty leg protectors which tie into your boots and come up to just under my knees. I also wear long pants if I'm planning on going cross country. Mt Barney has a nice easy walk into the lower portals which is a lovely swimming spot with a deep clean water hole and is super nice on a hot day. You both seem like such nice people. I hope you continue to enjoy this wonderful country. We do get some very venomous snakes but to be really truthful I'm yet to meet one that wanted to bite a human. Most bites are from where people have either deliberately or accidentally disturbed them. I have many funny stories about them but no bad ones. Having had a taipan or eastern brown go under the old toilet at my uncle's sugar cane farm, while I was sitting on it always brings me a smile and a laugh🤣. My uncle, an old Aussie WW2 vet and farmer was so nonchalant about it when I yelled as a small boy. He was such a lovely funny old gentleman and nothing fazed him. Have a wonderful day folks.😀
@@the_jallohfamily good morning folks😀and thankyou for such a lovely reply. I'll have to be quick as I'm running late for work. I've twisted my back so I'm starting slow this morning.
I'm so sorry but Im not sure where you're living. I'm from the western suburbs of Brisbane at present but grew up on the Gold coast b4 moving up to Beenleigh as a teenager after Dad got his promotion. My grandparents were dairy farmers up behind the gold coast and we always had snakes around and grew up being told how to be safe around them. My favourite spots to hike close to the gold coast are binna Burra,O'Reilly's and Springbrook. All have good quality maintaining tracks and a reasonable level of fitness will see you having a nice enjoyable day. O'Reillys is probably my favourite with good camping spots and even got showers. Also very comfortable units are available to hire and there is a very nice cafe, small bar and a restaurant within a very short walk. The drive up the mountain is a bit epic but just take your time if you get a chance to go there and it's very nice. They also have a tree top walk free to enjoy as much as you want. It's a suspension bridge up in the trees. May I please suggest if you plan on doing a fair amount of bush walking that you get some comfortable walking boots with good ankle support and if you're going off track some leg protection. I got most of my gear through good camping shops,like mountain designs. I love Mt Barney but it's definitely a no frills spot. More of a hikers spot . It has a fairly easy walk into the lower portals rock pools which is an awesome clean swimming hole. Deep and clear water which is mountain fed it's such a refreshing swim, especially in summer. Honestly I've never met a snake that goes out of its way to bite a human. Most people who get bitten have disturbed the snake, whether deliberately or accidentally.as kids we ran through the scrub like crazy and I've had snakes rare up at me but never properly strike. I've been up close with blacks,browns and taipans and never had a problem. I accidentally picked up a wolf spider in a wet rag a few years ago and it bit me as I squeezed the poor thing. It was mildly uncomfortable and I just kept working. Australia isn't nearly as scary as the media portrays but it is a place where common sense is a necessity. Have a wonderful day folks. I have some very fond memories of snake encounters which are always amusing to me but not sure if they'd interest anyone else
‘Shrimp on the barbie’ was from a Tourism Australia ad aimed directly at Americans.
Paul Hogan ‘Hoges’ was very high profile in US at the time from Crocodile Dundee movie, so it was trying to lure Americans across the Pacific Ocean to visit Oz.
So ‘shrimp’ was used because Americans don’t use the word ‘prawn’ for the food that Hoges was holding over the barbecue.
@coraliemoller3896 Thanks for sharing that! 🙌 We’ve always appreciated Paul Hogan, and it’s great to hear the backstory behind the famous ‘Shrimp on the Barbie’ line. The fact that Hoges (love that nickname!) was such a big deal in the US at the time makes so much sense. It’s cool to learn how they tailored the ad for Americans with the ‘shrimp’ swap! 🍤 We love these fun bits of history! 😊
Shrimp on the Barbie came from Paul Hogan advertising Australian Tourism. He said Shrimp so Americans could relate. Unfortunately, his quote “throw another Shrimp on the Barbie” stuck.
@Katrinagaming-en1os That’s so interesting! It makes sense Paul Hogan used ‘shrimp’ to make it relatable for Americans. 😊 But why do you think the phrase is considered unfortunate? It’s become iconic worldwide, but I guess not everyone’s a fan! Either way, we’ll stick to ‘prawn’ when we fire up the barbie, just to keep it authentically Aussie! 😂 Thanks for sharing that bit of history with us!
Here's a tip. Snakes don't pounce they strike.😎
@Danger_Mouse3619 😂 We both literally snorted with laughter when we read this! Thanks for the tip -we’ll be sure to watch out for those strikes instead of any dramatic pouncing! 😂 We'll just stay on the lookout for! 🐍 Thanks for the laugh and the wisdom!
@@the_jallohfamily no wacckas mate. 😉
The immigration issues we had years ago have levelled off, it was mostly over all the illegal boats that were arriving on our shores full of illegal immigrants who had paid everything their families could muster, only to be discovered and taken to detention centres offshore, until their paperwork, if they even had any, could be resolved. Also many of the boats were overloaded due to the smugglers’ greed and the boats often sank, leaving hundreds of people to drown unless the Australian Coastguard came across them in time, which wasn’t always feasible, our coastline is vast! The continual loss of lives became an issue for the government and our immigration laws, so they banned all illegal boats and sent them back to where they came from, which eventually stopped what had become people smuggling and unnecessary loss of life. All they needed to do was apply for permission to come here legally. People see how big Australia is and think there’s room for illegals to come here, but they have no concept of how difficult it is to survive here without a steady income and a roof over their heads. Decades ago, a small group arrived in a boat and landed on the coast of Western Australia, then they headed east on foot in the hope of reaching a city. They couldn’t have chosen a worse way to come here! They all perished in the outback within a week!
As you can see, it was a sensitive subject over which Aussies were divided. We allow immigration, we just ask that people go through the proper channels. Also, following the World Trade Centre attacks, everyone’s fear was heightened at the thought of letting terrorists into Australia under the guise of refugees. Here’s a political article that can give you a feel for what was going on at that time: theconversation.com/factcheck-did-1200-refugees-die-at-sea-under-labor-38094
@Jeni10 Thanks so much for sharing that with us! It’s eye-opening to learn more about what was going on back then. We really appreciate the honesty and depth you bring to these conversations. 🙏 We feel so lucky to be welcomed by Aussies, and we’re just glad we didn’t have to hike across the outback to earn our place here! 😅 Your insights always add so much, so thanks again for taking the time to share. 😊
Also, I think the rule is, three comments and we are friends forever! 😆
While the lock out laws were in place, you weren't locked in until 3. You could leave whenever you like but you wouldn't get in anywhere else.
@Rastusmishka12 Thanks so much for clearing that up! 🙏 That’s really helpful to know - it makes a lot more sense now. We appreciate you sharing the info with us, especially for those of us who weren’t familiar with how the lockout laws worked! 😊 Thanks again for the insight and for being part of the conversation!
The English are always welcome 🙏🏻 n Australia
@jojet1980 Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙏 We’ve been in Australia for 5 years now, and from day one, we’ve felt the warmth and welcoming spirit of this beautiful country. It’s truly become home for us, and we’re so grateful for the community we’ve found here. 💙 The kindness and inclusiveness we’ve experienced have made all the difference - couldn’t have asked for a better place to call home! 😊
Lockout was to stop people bar hopping. Once you were in you could order drinks up to bar closing time, but if you left in the lockout period you could not get in somewhere else.
Haha, thanks for clearing that up! I totally thought it was the same as the good ol’ lock-ins we had in England, where once you were in, you stayed put. But it seems Australia was more about keeping us from bar-hopping marathons! 🍻 Genuine mistake on our part - guess we were getting our locks mixed up! 😂 Appreciate the explanation!
On immigration, even amongst those of us who are very strongly against it (myself included), very few of us will be rude or disrespectful to immigrants who are already here.
I can simultaneously disagree with our government letting people who can’t even speak English migrate here while also being as polite as ever to the Koreans who run the bakery near my place, neither of whom can speak English. Hell, I know more Korean than they know English despite them living here for decades and despite the fact I’ve never even studied the bloody language. They are still kind people so I treat them as such, but I fully back legislation preventing ANYMORE people who have no interest in embracing our culture become citizens of the country.
@DanielAvery-q4q Thank you for sharing your perspective so openly and honestly. We really appreciate hearing such candid thoughts, and it’s refreshing to see respect and kindness at the core of your interactions, even when there are differences in opinion. It’s clear that valuing people as individuals is important to you, and that’s something we can definitely appreciate. 🙏 Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts with us!
Minimum wage is now 24.10 p/h
@Danger_Mouse3619 Thanks for the update! 🙌 $24.10 p/h sounds like a solid deal - but I think I’ll keep that little fact between us for now... no need to let my son working for me in on that just yet! 😅 Appreciate the info, though! Always good to stay in the know. 👍
You are locked out not in and if you are in can get a drink of course and leave whenever you like.
@robman2095 Thanks for clearing that up! 🙌 It’s good to know you’re not locked in, but rather just locked out of entering other places. Makes sense now. 🍻 Appreciate the clarification!
US minimum wage is much higher then that
No, it's not. US is around $7.25/hour, depending on the state.
Thanks so much for sharing that with us! We confirmed the information from the world population review (link below), but saw in the US they have a variety of minimum wages based on states. So, you could be right that some states have a higher wage than Australia. 😅

😅
@geofftottenperthcoys9944 Thanks so much for clarifying. I believe the wage will be increased in Aus in 2024. 🤗 It's apparently now 24.10 p/h which isn't as aesthetic as $23.23, but more money in your pocket! 😊 Thanks again for sharing this with us, you've added value to the channel!
