I'm an American who's been living in Australia since leaving the US right after 9/11. And no matter how much you prepare, you can never prepare enough. It is a completely different culture that takes time getting use to. The country has been very good to me. And I love it. Adelaide is my home!
Adelaide Gang 🙌🏼
From good ole northern suburbs Elizabeth Adelaide 😂😂😂 bogan city 😂👍
Ayyy Adelaide squad let's go
I take it type referring to how ssllllllllooooooooowwwwwww everything happens? Haha yeah that definitely takes getting used to 😂
I love my country Australia. But look out for drop bears and bogans.
Well done Ryan on picking up the flag 🇦🇺
I agree mate, that's impressive, he is more and more an Aussie every day. Cheers.
Yes, that was good spotting.
Truly impressive how you immediately picked up on that flag substitution.
He was doing well until he said go and soak up the equestrian air. 12:36
Top shelf spotting! 💪😎
Several points from an Aussie: 1) Kangaroos are cute, until you run into one with your car, which we did yesterday. They run all over the road and you have no way of knowing which way they will jump. Luckily for us and the roo, it jumped up and away. 2) We value our tradies, they are a fabulous part of our economy and we treat them with the respect they deserve. 3) Visitors complain about the slow wifi but it works and I've always thought it was OK. I suppose in this instant gratification world, it might not be considered the best. But all in all, and I have been to quite a few other countries, albeit not for any great length of time, I'm more than happy in my little town of 700 people in country NSW
Kangaroos are cute... until they fight back.
I know this sounds a bit nasty but….i love it when karma steps in to sort out a problem. I was in a suburb of Adelaide, narrow street, doing the speed limit and had this fool overtake me after tailgating me for a distance. Turned left at the next intersection (a main road) drove about 100 metres and was just in time to see a large roo hit his car smashing his windscreen and removing his rear view mirror and leaving a sizable dent in his car. Kangaroos got up and hopped away, I drove past slowly smiling and waving to say thank you. If he hadn’t been in such a hurry, the roo would have hit me.
I now live in Hervey Bay in Queensland. About 1/2 hour ago went out on my back patio and there were eight Roos feeding in my backyard, I love Queensland 😁
Just leave them be. occasionally a buck will decide you're a threat or an opponent and then attempt to fight you. We get big old bucks here, coming in for green pick around industrial areas and residential housing (Central Queensland). Move in for peace after being kicked from their harems. Some are well over 6 foot when standing up. Not an animal you want to mess with.@@marklivingstone3710
Panel beaters love Roos 👏👏😂😂
@@aussieswatching3135 No really, they look cute, 'till they kick you in the face 20 times for looking at them the wrong way.
Double kudos to Ryan for knowing that was the NZ flag 👍👍👍
In Australia, we value trades as a career. So electrians, fitters, construction workers and carpenters are careers that people can aspire to. We don't treat the people that build our country like they are less than someone with a degree.
I agree. I think Tradie clothes (usually sporting some kind of fluorescent yellow) are held in the same esteem as Emergency workers. As they provide a pivotal service to all Australians.
Bullshit. I’m a chef, and if I had my time over again I’d never do it again. The pay and conditions are shit. People expect to pay chefs nothing and the government lets any commercial kitchen operate without qualified chefs. If I want my electrics done at home by law I have to use Ann electrician same for a plumber, builder etc. but if I want to sell food to the public then any joe blogs can do it which drastically brings down our pay grade.
And you can drop out of school at 15 and do an apprenticeship and end up earning over $100k per/yr……
@lucyberger7625 or become a forklift driver And you get that in 2 weeks
so true. I know a girl who drove a fork lift for a couple of months and saved $20k very quickly. I am a registered nurse with a post graduate degree and I am still on 66K per year. But better than being jobless @@alexnovak201

@darrylpaynts drink more propaganda juice mate. I've lived in a few countries and your comment is simply full of shit.
Our quokkas are the happiest and cutest animals on the planet.
@michaelrogers2080please let me translate what you mean into Australian. From a quokka point of view.
" Not bloody likely mate, we live on a really cool island and it should be a cruise. But these ratbags come over from mainland on day or week trips, full of piss and bad manners and..... well its called Dope for a reason... but anyway, they're pretty loaded by time they get here and if they're not into fishing, they drink. Now we all know how innovative alcohol can make you and I can confess that "quokka soccer" is a a way cool name but the mechanics of this game have us quokkas a little concerned. Okay, let's be honest, we're shitting. Just because we, by virtue of a pretty unfortunate lack of compassion by the Gods that put shit together, we look like a football. That doesn't mean that we like getting kicked in the head ! Don't believe that crap you hear down the pub, we Don't Like It.!!
Cheers big ears.
@michaelrogers2080 Im on Rotto at the moment, there are plenty of tourists around and mostly, apart from getting way too close and being careless with dropped food etc, theyre all being remarkably well behaved, not one single act of yobboism observed.
My daughter and her family just returned from a week on Rotto, a bi-annual event. In all the years they've been going they've never reported the behaviour you mention dean. I'm sure there are yobbos doing stupid, cruel things at times but it's not that common. When something happens like that it's usually on the news with the idiots in police custody. @@deanhall6045
@@heatherrowles9930 that's been my experience at Rottnest too.. been there three times now.. and other than quokka photos in the main square where the shops are, every one leaves the quokkas alone in the wild.

Our high minimum wage is one reason our cost of living is relatively high - but it's also why tipping isn't a thing (which is a blessing 😅)
It’s got nothing to do with either of those things
In the US the wages are so low they need tips to live decently. In Aust because we get a decent minimum wage we don't rely on tips. Although, when hospitality staff in particular are tipped it's because they went above and beyond and deserve it but they don't expect it.@@macdac9861
@@macdac9861: It certainly has!
@@juliewoodman2439 cost of living is high everywhere. Wages a tipping culture isn’t the common denominator, corporate greed and profiteering is. Blaming labor and people on benefits is the oligarchs oldest trick in the book which gullible Murdoch media consumers such as yourself swallow hook line and sinker
Not true. Our wages were high for many decades before the cost of living rose dramatically. It was the agency capture by big corporates and privatisation of our public assets etc that ruined this country.
I'm Canadian but I lived in Australia for over 35 yrs , it's a beautiful country ,, i live in Perth ,,WA, and the best climate ever ,, even though I miss the snow especially for Christmas times ,, but Australia is beautiful , so many place to see , and picnics on the beaches ,, just love it , Australia is my 2nd home ,,
Yes Perth is a great city and its growing quickly. There is increasing congestion, but the planners are moving quickly to improve public transport. In 30 years its gone from 3 rail destinations (Fremantle Midland Armadale) to a lot more and others in process of being built (Joondalup, Mandurah, Airport link, Ellenbrook, Thornlie, Thornlie-Cockburn), plus extending rail. Increasingly a lot of development in the city to increase the population in downtown/CBD. World Class Perth Stadium (Optus Stadium) completed in recent times too.
You've been here 35 years, you're not Canadian, you're an Aussie
@@jackduncan7214 yeh you're right. she's aussie now.
@@BDub2024seriously? There were only 3 rail lines? I’m Victorian and I still can’t believe I have not fulfilled my dream of visiting Perth. I suppose the fact that it’s cheaper to visit South East Asia has something to do with it.
@@carolynm9638 Yeh look at the map. There was the Armadale Midland and Fremantle line. Then in the 80s they closed the Fremantle line and just used buses for 5 years. But then the train returned. Perth has a very good bus network, and the train routes generally ran through areas with lower density. Since then the city has expanded significantly along the coast past Joondalup that didn't even exist 35 years. Also south of the river past Kwinana and Rockingham to Mandurah. So train tracks went north (30 years) and south (10 years). A previous govt wanted to send the train to Mandurah via the Armadale line, so they built a tunnel to Thornlie. Next govt decided straight down the freeway to Mandurah. So they extended the tunnel into a spur line to Thornlie which will eventually be extended to Cockburn. Then to Airport/HighWycombe happened this year, via Bayswater station. Ellenbrook via Bayswater station will occur in 3 years... The busy tracks are Mandurah and Joondalup in particular.
Our "tradies" - plumbers/carpenters/electricians etc - are some of the highest earners in Australia. I know people that mow lawns and do gardening etc who work for themselves and they make easily over 100k a year.
Yep, my sons are killing th pig, one is an electrician on a mine site, the other son is landscaper/mower man. They love their jobs.
Tradies are essential to any western economy and we couldn't do without them. But, far too many tradies these days are in it to make a quick buck and don't give a stuff about the quality of their work. Not everyone obviously, but far too many. I've had excellent work done by some over the last 40 years, but as time has gone on the standard of work has gone down. For quite a few years now I've stopped ringing up tradies I don't know for a quote and will only contact people who have been recommended to me. I live in an older suburb and my neighbours and I are the same. Unfortunately the older tradies who took pride in their work and got jobs by word of mouth have retired or are scaling down.
Tangalooma Wrecks History
In spite of what many people seem to think, it’s no coincidence that fifteen vessels happened to run aground in the exact same spot. In fact, the old dredging ships were deliberately sunk off the coast of Moreton Island, near Brisbane, Australia in the 1960s to create a break wall from small boats. It also managed to attract scores of reef fish and marine life, thereby creating a popular wreck dive and snorkel site.
Beat me by 43 mins Fiona😃 prefect description. “QUEENSLANDER”👌
Yeah, I just went on a P&O cruise there. It's a nice place for cruise ships to stop over. You can see the Brisbane skyline without getting in the way of the locals. Moreton Island? Yeah, a sand dune island. I guess there are some scrubby trees. The venues are rather RSL if you know what I mean. So we went off the cruise ship to find a nice coffee. We couldn't find one, so hurried back onto the ship as there weren't any nice shady trees to sit under, and at my age, I don't really feel like swimming in the water. I just like looking at it. And I wouldn't subject everyone to seeing me with my shirt off. That's just impolite. It was just long enough to see some land, then party on back to Sydney. I'll do it again one day, lots of fun.
Don't know about any other Aussies I'm so happy we are not over populated like other countries.
Not overpopulated but most people can't/will never afford to buy their own house. Yep, tons of room.
@@mattrickard3716 you have to move into outer regional areas really for cheap housing. some places you can buy for $100,000 but really in areas like the outer wheatbelt. Still it would be quet out there but not a bad lifestyle (e.g Kondinon Hyden)
I was a self employed domestic cleaner until a couple of years ago I charged $50.00 per hour and supplied nothing just the labour, there were four of us doing this and life was sweet. We worked a five hour day and had time to spend with our families
I studied Community Welfare at uni, and I never earned more than about $35 to 38 per hour. And that was in community service management jobs.
@@xymonau2468 hahahaha there it is... you studied at uni... what a waste of time. Now you think you're entitled and seem pissed that a cleaner was earning more than an educated person like yourself ..... and your degree lead you to believe that you in fact, should have been getting paid more. Wrong. They lied. Its easy to make 50 dollars an hour mate but you have to actually work.
@@deanhall6045it’s so interesting how we interpret other people’s text. I read the previous comment as an added bit of information/context, and a little in awe of the original commenter, whereas you read it as entitled and snarky. I’m really not sure where you got all that assumed emotion from but I didn’t pick that up at all.
Yep, I had my own cleaning business for over 20 years, I earned more money cleaning than I did teaching. I loved cleaning...all domestic, I worked my own hours and got great bonuses or presents at Christmas.
I didn’t complete university and still managed to earn a good salary but the cleaners in these comments and deanhall6045 do seem to be falling into the trap of reverse snobbery and self importance. The thing I love about Australia is the acceptance generally demonstrated but some people don’t seem to be demonstrating that here. Why can’t we just accept that we need people of all walks of life and be happy for those who can earn a decent living and enjoy their work, no matter what the field.
Well done Ryan on picking up on the flag 👏
They're literally 90% the same flag lol. Wouldn't blame anyone who gets confused as to which flag is what.

Most of us here in Australia won't get out of bed for less then 30 dollars an hour.
Australia Post has ads up for part time workers - they wonder why they can't get anybody but only pay $23/hr 🙄 - it's not livable in the inflation age
i guess we spend most of our time in bed, soaking up that equestrian air.
I know many international student who even works for 15$/hr. The companies knows many of the students here are desperate for a job thus pay less amount of money and exploits
@@belindaweber7999more than centrelink payments
Up here in the Isa, min is $40 an hour, if you like doing 12 hrs days, can retire in 2 years.
"She'll be right" is a shortening of "She'll be alright".... we just shorten the "alright" part
And "she'll" can apply to anything, anyone or any situation 😄
Yes, 'she' might be be a car, object, or any given situation!
The shot of the cliffs and the sea reminds me of an event that happened along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria many years ago. There used to be a feature called London Bridge, which was a rocky span that formed a natural bridge over the sea from the mainland to a rock jutting up out of the water. People used to walk across it all the time. On one particular day some people walked across and shortly after the bridge collapsed behind them into the sea, leaving them stranded on the rock, unable to return. It eventually took a helicopter to lift them off and return them to the mainland. They were certainly blessed that the bridge collapsed after they'd crossed instead of when they were still on it.
I was there about 2 hours before it collapsed and had walked across it. Was quite shocked when I got to a hotel that night and turned the news on to see what was happening. I seem to have a knack for doing that. I went to Mount Kilewea in Hawaii for a walking tour. The tour guide at the end was quite apologetic and said the USGS had advised it was the volcanoes quietest day in 20 years. I flew to San Francisco the next day, checked into my Hotel, turned the Telly on for the news, first news story was Kilewea was erupting, the area we had walked over the previous day had liquefied. Travel tip, don’t go to any tourist site I visited yesterday 😎
@@marklivingstone3710Wow, that's almost freakish.
Please keep us apprised of your travel plans 😬@@marklivingstone3710
@@marklivingstone3710I lived in Peterborough ( Where the Great Ocean Rd ends) when the London Bridge collapsed . I was dispatched as a paramedic to treat the couple who were rescued 3 hours after the bridge collapsed January 1990
The urban myth was that the couple were married but to other people. They got caught out on national TV
Everyone talks about our unique animals but forget about the birds and plants which are just as different.
We also have a phenomenal variety of (of all things) FUNGI !!
In Australia we sink old ships to make artificial reefs
I grew up on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. Those beach pools are fantastic. As kids we would hold onto the railing and let the waves wash us into the pool. So much fun!!!
This just makes me proud to be an Aussie!
Australia is one of the highest traveling nations per capita in the world, particularly for the young, I believe that New Zealand is the highest. At age 67, I have been very privileged to travel to 60 different countries, and my brother over 100. If you ever get the chance I realize your financial situation may not be the same. there are so many wonderful places to see... I live in Melbourne and it is very multi-ethnic with people from every nation on earth. Traveling gives you a new perspective on so many things.
Most poor ole Yanks though get only two weeks' annual leave a year, so they don't have enough time to travel leisurely overseas.
@@twoflyinghats That is all about to change. I think disclosures come when the solar flash comes and we get our memories back. I won't go into it on youtube but will say we are under a dome at the top of the planet and there are other continents only the cabal had access to, accessed from the north and south poles and of course inner earth. When disclosures come they will finally come to the surface to meet us. They have been eagerly waiting.
I had a friend from Kansas City come all the way over for 2 weeks. 1 week in Bali then 1 week here to my home in Perth.
What a legend, I showed her as much as I could.
Melbourne has had challenges in recent times I believe. Too fast growing and they've struggled a bit for the infrastructure and city planning to catch up. 40 years ago it was far more organised and better managed. Still that's just from a traveller into Melbourne.
As a Tasmanian I can’t say I have ever seen cans of air. 😂😂. One thing we all like to do when returning home from holiday is step
Off the plane and smell the beautiful air.
Yes, definitely the best part of Australia
so true
I feel countries do have their own smell. But stepping into Australia air is amazing.
Tasmania most definitely has the cleanest air in the world, as well as being a diverse beautiful island.
I re.ember seeing cans of air in a gift shop right ip the top on the west coast. Some years ago now, perhaps 7 or so
Well spotted on the flag Ryan 10/10.
Equestrian means horse related, the word you’re looking for is possibly equatorial but, we’re not equatorial, the northern most tip of Australia is several degrees south of the equator. We’re in a range from the tropics (Tropic of Capricorn is about 50 miles north of where I live) and the temperate zone. The Tropical areas seem to have 2 seasons, the wet and the dry. Temperate zones have the more traditional weather patterns of 4 seasons.
I definitely don't want to inhale equestrian air!
@@markw1331 I'm not a fan of equestrian air either, I think he meant equatorial air, but that's not the clean air in Tasmania either. The Tassie air is southern ocean air, I guess you could call it Antarctic air, though that's not entirely correct.
Yea I got a face full yesterday Arvo checking the horses hooves wasn't pleasant 😅@@markw1331
Anyone will tell you it's a Prisoner Island living in the Summer for a million years 'Great Southern Land' (look up that song Ryan) and I'm blessed to call it home, born and raised.
Not anyone from south Australia
You should seriously travel to Australia for a visit. You would have about 50,000 tour guides (your Aussie followers) here to help you out and show you around. You look at it all every day - you need to see it first hand. Also, well done on recognising the NZ flag too!!
Years ago when my son was about 6, first year at school, I took him into a takeaway shop to get some afternoon tea, he wanted to look inside a bain-marie, I bent down to lift him up so he could see and at the same time he jumped. He hit under my chin/jaw with the top of his head, it hurt so much, I saw stars, my eyes welled up and I don't know how I didn't burst out crying. I learnt from that mistake. Yeah we're not bad 😄
I feel for your son accidently hitting your chin! 😬 😖
When my daughter was Much younger she accidentally hit my nose with her head. Ouch! It hurt So Much!! 🙊
Ryan, I hope you visit Australia 1 day! I have a feeling it will be your home too someday!!🤞🇦🇺
Hey Ryan, better bring your wife. If we can convince her how good Australia is, then your whole family will be sure to move here. Must keep our wives happy!!!
Cmon we would love to welcome Brittany Jace and yourself ❤
Surprised to hear Ryan hasn't been out of the USA. I hope he get's here one day.
America is huge with absolutly stunning scenery, like Australia , You can travel in your own country
Yanks are too busy shooting each other for travel and the smart kids are dying in school.
The country really is messed up.
True - but visiting another country gives you a taste of a different culture and a different perspective on life. It really does broaden the mind.
True. But there are very few places while you travel in America 🇺🇸 where you can find decent quality food and coffee like in Australia. American food quality standards are not good at all.
@@Venusbabe66 I just watched the John Oliver explanation of how the ‘food’ bit of the FDA works - not good! It is seriously under resourced so don’t even worry about the taste of the food - worry more about whether it’s going to make you sick. Note that the FDA does not cover meat inspection which has its own agency and is much better resourced, but think twice about prepared foods that you eat cold like salad in a bag.
Yeah but you've gotta deal with Americans
That first beach you commented on is called Wattamolla in Royal National Park 2nd oldest National Park in the world and is within 25 minutes of the southern suburbs of Sydney. A favourite of mine as a kid growing up in those suburbs.
Yellowstone was the first National Park in the world. The Royal National Park south of Sydney was declared the day after Yellowstone.
As a carpenter I charge $65 per hour I'm 63y/o and slowing down , I know younger faster tradies who charge way more..
You like me. I do it right once for that money. Young guys go fast do crap. I was offered a job doing nothing but helping his young bloke do better work, he said i didnt even have to actually work. But it was too gar away
Sitting on the patio of my glamping tent on Rottnest Island watching this video......and there is a quokka sitting not 4 metres away. Sometimes life just rocks.
Come to Australia Ryan.
You’ll never want to leave.👍
If you can make a visit to Brisbane we would love to have you. Australia is one of the few nations left right now where travel and tourism is still completely safe. Beware though the long long flight from the US in cattle class will be a strain on anyone's body. If you can pay a bit extra for a seat with just a little extra leg room it will be worth every cent.
Cleanest air anecdote. Live in Central Queensland where there is a load of coal mines and generally dry and dusty. We took a holiday in Tasmania and even before we made it to the West coast were both feeling much healthier and refreshed simply because the air was so clean.
As an Aussie, the phrase "she'll be right" basically means "all good" or "no worries". It's not who may be right or wrong. Nice job picking up on the NZ flag. I think you should experience Australia at some point. I'm pretty sure we would not disappoint, with our wonderful beaches, rainforests and outback, not to mention snow. We are the lucky country and people don't realise how lucky they are until they have travelled to other parts of the world and returned home.
Happy Arvo Ryan! 🤗👍 Please give your son gloves to prevent further injuries! 😄 "You'll never, never know if you never, never go!" Bathurst or Wollongong or Newcastle would be great for your family in NSW! Yes, the minimum wage is $23.38 currently, plus allowances, bonuses, incentives, super, paid leave! We also have incredible clean local outdoor parks and really safe children's parks, getting outdoors is an everyday thing! 🧑🤝🧑 Our visitors frequently mention the unusually fresh air in Australia they note when arriving, asthmatics particularly love visiting Tasmania and being able to climb more easily! You have until age 40 to apply to work or move here, or have your wife transfer - just saying! 😁🇦🇺
Nurse here! Couldn't say why you're low exactly but would suggest taking vitamin c supplements concurrently as it will help with your vitamin d uptake.
8:10 Those ships were sunk on purpose to create habitats for Sea-life. It also doubles as an excellent scuba spot.
One of my sons has an entry level construction job in Brisbane. He earns around $25 US an hr. On another topic, we love the poms and we also love to take the piss with them some times :D :D
Except when they whinge.
The more videos I look at on your channel the more I love my country and feel blessed to live here. I’ve been very fortunate to be able to travel a lot in my 60 years, Europe, Asia and North and Central America, and have seen some beautiful places around the world, but it’s always nice to come back home.
I have lived in Australia my whole life and agree with that video
The Pom that did this video got a couple of things wrong. Firstly as you mentioned, he showed the NZ flag not the Aussie one and secondly, we do not do bbq's like he showed, that is a more middle eastern way of doing it. However, yes Australia is one of the BEST countries in the world
Woolies sells kebabs like the ones in the video, so I don't know what you mean. We've done lots of them on the BBQ.
Anything on the BBQ is good. 👍
Hi Ryan, yep the minimum adult wage is $23.23 per hour in a 38 hour week that was introduced in 1983. (The flag of Aotearoa? Huh?!) New Zealand is fully bilingual in everything you can think of, as its Māori people have standardised their language, so its official name is as well: Aotearoa New Zealand.
As an Aussie I listen to your voice and the phrasing and inflection you put on words and construct sentences… you sound like you have lived in Australia.🇦🇺
Awesome that you live Australia, it’s definitely a beautiful country… thanks for showing us off 🎉😂
LOVE Australia
People, please email the Minister for trade and tourism and petition him to sponsor Ryan and family to come to Australia and share his first hand views and experiences with the world.

Fun fact, we don’t call them shrimp most call them prawns.
shrimp is a yank term. not australian.
Fun Fact: we don’t use the term “fun fact.”
@@IWillHaveThePastaThanks Yeh we'd say "matter of fact" or "actually...".
We call it "Ke-bAbs"', not "ke-bobs"
Aussie minimum wage is $25 per hour PLUS an additional 25% if you are casual. That’s about $30 per hour.
(Note to Aussies, I know these figures aren’t EXACTLY right, I’ve rounded them for easier understanding. It’s actually $23.33. Which is $882,80 for a 38 hour week).
Can we crowd source Ryan and fam to come down for a holiday!!! ❤
I’m an Aussie that loves listening to you. Keep it up mate
Quokkas are the happiest animals in the world. They smile, live on Rottnest Island and a few in Tasmania. They don’t know they should be afraid of people. You should find a video on them, you can get a boat to the island to visit but do not touch or feed. Tasmania also has the purest water in the world. Which is why the Franklin River is listed. It is a very beautiful Island but can get chilly. I like chilly.
Ryan you and your family must come an visit. I’m such a proud Australian, my family (2 parents and 5 kids) came over when I was 5 cos dad wanted us to have a better life. He was 100000000% right. We all got naturalised,all off us have very good careers and a good life. Everything on this clip is correct, thank you Australia for giving me a dream life❤
I'm in the UK the animals we have are grey and red squirrels, rabbits,Hare, stoats, weasels, foxes, badger's, three types of deer, otters, beavers which are being reintroduced, Scottish wildcats and pine martens, water voles, grey seals, three types of snake, grass snake, smooth snake and adders which are our only poisonous snake very rarely fatal but can still be very nasty and require hospital treatment, and various birds of prey and other birds.
@@LovesChild316yeah, thanks for the vermin guys lol
Don’t forget the rats and wasps
Thanks for invasion of my home country Australia and thanks for all these fucking invasive species
This guy just waffles on and on. I think that he loves the sound of his own voice.
I am like you Ryan - always low on Vitamin D, despite living in a city with the most hours of sunshine. I think I am so pale I deflect the sun. 😂
I'm Australian born and have never ever heard anyone say "Happy Orvo"
Google Quokka! They live on Rottnest Island, off the coast of Perth. Seen by Dutch explorers as they sailed past the island, the Dutch thought they were rats hence the name of the island being Rottnest (rat nest), but they’re not rats at all, they’re marsupials.
Equestrian is related to horse sports. LOL!
I don't think it is the world's cleanest air, but I have heard they have the world's cleanest water.
Ahh the Sea Cliff bridge at 1:20, my occasional commute to my old job....just north of Wollongong!
And the Cape Grimm air bottles have a mouth & face trumpet on the end, press to face, pull trigger and breathe deep.
As for smoking, the government taxes the bejeesus out of cigarettes. Currently a packet of Winfield Blue (x25) is AUD$45.50 (about USD$29.00). But VAPING is becoming endemic and the government is trying to come up with a solution to stop kids from getting access to this. Options range from total ban into the country - through to restrictions on selling, etc.
Sadly, I am still a smoker on old age pension. Therefore I wear the same second hand shoes I bought 11 years ago! My fault, I know, that I can't afford decent food.
Wifi isn’t too bad. Depends on where you live. Saw another video about Australia not doing unlimited data but we have had that for many years.
Our NBN internet is really bad mate. I travelled to Canada this year and they had 1.5 gbps speeds. My brother thought him getting 800mbps in his lounge was bad speed, he almost spit water out of his mouth when I told him that I get 43mbps for more $$$. You could actually stream a 4K video and here in Adelaide we struggle to barely make it @ 1080p. I have travelled many countries and they all have better internet. I mean it does the job but could be alot alot better. We are far behind in internet infrastructure and its one of the most expensive.
I have had unlimited data for 20 yrs
@@robinkhaira1 I blame the coalition. The NBN supposed to be fibre to the home, then the Lib/Nats changed it to fibre to the street and copper to the home.🙄🤯
@@humanbeing8819 yeah thats true
Last time I went out on the boat there were Seals sunbaking on the steps of the Opera house.
Occasionally you get seals sunbaking on the rocks in Cataract George Tasmania. And thats pretty far inland on the Tamar River!
Moving to Australia isn't as risky as you think 👍
Yes, there are too many videos out there that just look at the dangers of Australian wildlife. They are mainly clickbait and the headlines on them show this. It's all about the algorithm folks.
@@skippymaster57Agreed! I’m glad that there’s been a big drop in numbers of those who bring up the mythical “drop bears”.
Yeah, we only have the most dangerous creatures in the known universe, but it's fine.
They mostly keep to themselves, or a kept at bay by friendly, not so dangerous creatures. :D
@@r.fairlie7186 Their numbers literally "Dropped" by 90% in the past year, what with all those fires, and other construction jobs, "cutting" down all their homes lol.
Excuse the puns.
@@AURON2401 Yes, and what unfortunate reasons for the drop. I’m originally from the far south coast of NSW which has had its fair share of fires. I not only approve of your pun but I drop them myself whenever I get the chance. I’ll raise you one which I made up a while ago. Please feel free to use it whenever the right situation arises: “I just like having a play with words - but then I play at having a jest with words”. All the best from Sydney!
My son and I would be happy for you to stay. A real experience. We live in the bush, grow veggies and live on tank water. We are in the middle of nowhere surrounded by crop farms, wheat, canola etc. Come visit. Yes we call them kebabs
Thats not a Joey, it's a Quokka, same family, smaller breed like the Wallaby.
I used to say what a quokka shit 😂
Hi Ryan, I highly recommend that you see the world. It broadens your mind and is good for your soul.
You have to remember that a BIG city in Australia as defined by many people in the regions is 50,000 people. Your probably already in a big city by rural Australian standards.
11:28 I can see my house in this shot 😂😂 and the “beach that only the locals know about” is “wattamolla beach” and it used to be like that but now it gets pumped with tourists and us locals can’t even get a park there.
That wasn’t yoga on a golf course it was yoga in a park
Our family is from Canada and lived in Perth since 1981, it’s great here. Glad it got a couple of mentions in the video too. Too many people come down under and don’t head west, but we have plenty to offer.
Gday from Melbourne Australia mate. Ive watched a few of your Aussie vids now and have enjoyed them. Keep up the bloody good work cobber. Ive knocked off work so Im about to blow the froth off a couple. Cheers big ears
1 Corinthians 6:10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people-none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.
As an Aussie, I truly hope you get to experience the privilege and pleasure of spending time in this amazing country
Hi Ryan, all the best to u and your Family 🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰Fr.Australia
Kudos to you for spotting the NZ flag.
The minimum does not include the extra 9.5% for superannuation which is paid by the employer.
I know that Australia is the best country in the world. I live here for 38 years now. I travelled to so many countries around the globe and Australia is the best place to live in. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Our humour is more aligned with the UK than USA
Thank goodness 😂
Heads up - The distances you have to travel to get to some of these great places can be daunting and costly, also airfares are way too expensive to fly any place other than Sydney to Melbourne or ACT commute. (ie: return airfare from Darwin to Perth will cost you around $800.00 for the cheapest fare. We have driven from west coast to east coast and from southern cape to the northern tip.... and northern tip back to western coast - around 4,000kilometers each time on one way trip.
$800 for Perth to Darwin. Are you sure? That’s if want to travel next day???
Airfares are cheap between capital cities especially if you book early. Of course you’ll pay more at short notice.
Those sunken ships are out the front of my place at Moreton Island. Its for fish and tourists to snorkel around.
Do fish snorkel?
G'day Mate! That beach at the beginning you said only the locals would know about is Wattamolla in the Royal National Park on the southern outskirts of Sydney (Fun Fact The Royal National park was the second such park in the world ,1879, after Yellowstone) so yes we have about 11,000 beaches... The usual expression is "She'll be right mate!" Yes $23.23 per hour is correct and it goes up every July 1st... Trades are in demand and the governments have offered over 100,00 free courses at TAFE colleges for trades like electricians, carpenters, plumbers etc etc...Quokkas are one of the cutest creatures on the planet! Cheers!
And Wattamolla is filled to capacity every single hot weekend, so much so that the highways post signage kms away to let people know not to bother trying.
Good catch on the flag and I think the shipwrecks were an artificial reef
“Extremely rare in Suburbia”. What?! The local Snake Catcher was collectingSnakes up the Street from my Daughter and when she was cycling back from the Shopping Centre she just missed riding over a metre long Tiger Snake. Suburbia.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
6:12 It‘s the disadvantage of having a very light skin. To produce enough vitamin D you’d have to be in the sunlight far too long to not get sunburned. Suncream and clothes also prevent your body from doing the job.
Same problem here: Very light skin, natural blonde, blue eyes. I get burned within 10 Minutes if I don‘t protect my skin.
the beach the locals know about is called Wattamolla. It has a cliff with a 30 (or so) foot drop which is fun to jump off, a lagoon and a beach. It is part of the Royal National Park south of Sydney - roughly a 60-90 minute drive from most parts of Sydney. And yes, there is Bundeena to the north and Garie Beach to the south - more terrific swimming and picnic spots.
Fantastic spots, I spent most of my youth at those places. We really do live in the best country in the world.
It's illegal to jump off and several people die there every year. The ledge is fully fenced.
@@Lamy999 -no, several people do not die every year, it is more like 5 over 6 years, and most from drowning as opposed to jumping.
Yes, it is now not allowed to jump off this but it was not in the 80s. There was even a diving board in the 70s.
Smoking is low but vaping is growing out of control especially among young people.
i agree it is RIDICULOUSLY popular.
And so much (illegal still?!) Canibis smoking.
“Australia is home to 11,761 recorded beaches, spread over an ever-changing 50,000+ kilometres of coastline. That's so many beaches that it would take you roughly 226 years to see them all if you visited one per week.”
Regarding vit D. The problem is some people's bodies can't absorb the Vit D that they are exposed to as efficiently as most people do. My sister is in the same boat as you and needs to take supplements despite that she spends way more time outside than me, who has normal vit D levels. I learned this from research done as a possible cause to why people get MS.
Sometimes it's a methylation problem where your body cannot absorb vitamins
Another point is to add Vitamin K2 when you take Vit. D. It helps you to absorb it better. Anyone who has osteoarthritis pain may find a lessening of it if you take a minimum of 1000iu of Vit D for at least two months.
@@r.fairlie7186: you got your facts a bit wrong there. It's important to take vitamin K2 to ensure calcium goes into your bones, rather than soft tissues like arteries. Surprisingly, many doctors doctors seem to know this.
'Don't ', not doctor.
@@juliewoodman2439 My point was to take Vit.D together with K2 and it’s already often sold as a single supplement in the appropriate proportion as a practical option. The main thought behind my post was the beneficial side effect of pain relief after taking Vit. D for as little as two months. I have both DISH Syndrome (skeletal hyperostosis) and the more arthritic version of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a genetic collagen/ connective tissue disorder. A sign of hEDS is getting osteoarthritis in every joint 10 years earlier than normal, so I’m frequently in pain. I also have a heart conduction anomaly, atrial fibrillation, that’s a comorbidity of hEDS. Fortunately, I’ve discovered that K2 has an added positive effect on one’s cardiac health. This is a welcome bonus when I’m already taking a beta blocker for the AF and now a blood thinner to reduce the risk of a stroke. Then there’s the dilemma that anything that would accelerate the calcification of my spinal ligaments should be avoided…. A lot has happened over the last 10 years and I’m now 71. I like my late mother’s saying “A creaking door lasts the longest”! Pain relief that’s inexpensive was my main tip to pass on here as many of us with chronic orthopaedic conditions have depleted our savings and have had to take early retirement.
I'm a cleaner in a motel and I get $35 ph in Australia
If you want to see a truly cute and gorgeous Aussie creature you should check out the stunningly beautiful but rare Bilby. Kids generally just love these lovable marsupials that look a bit like a furry rabbit that has had a hollywood makeover with long upright ears that have fine hair extensions at its tips, a long slender face with a more pointed nose that has fine whiskers a bit like that of a cat, a long fine tail again with hair extensions at its tip, slender feet and toes and having just underwent a Jenny Craig weightwatchers course and is now slender, trim and a few pounds lighter than the average rabbit. These bilbys blow the koalas, quokers and any other Australian marsupial out of the water for general cuteness. There has been in recent years a bit of a trend here in Australia to replace the Easter Bunny chocolates with Chocolate Easter Bilbys instead.
Darrell Lea Easter bilbies are available more each year, which is GOOD!
Interestingly I’ve met a few people who grew up in India and the one thing they find difficult to get used to is how few people there are here in Australia, I guess if you are used to always being in crowds it can feel strange.
My Aunt visited Perth 40 years and i remember her telling me its a very unique beatiful City🥰
When I first moved here to Sydney from the UK, one of the first things I noticed was the difference in the class system here. By which I mean, there was virtually none.
What a breath of fresh air it was not to have that social stratification being a constant. I first lived in a street where the homes were owned by electricians, financiers, builders and lawyers. It was such a joy to see the respect given to people on the strength simply of them being people, not because of the job they did.
🇦🇺 I do not regret for one second moving to Australia more than 50 years ago. Isolation is very real here no matter where you live on this continent, just know that! I f you want a holiday within Australia to view some of those spectacular beaches, visit the tropical rain forests, explore the gorges in nw Western Australia, embark on a road trip through the deserts or the wilderness regions of Tasmania, it is going to cost you a bloody fortune as everything is so far apart. For someone living in Perth, it is cheaper to holiday in Bali, Indonesia than it is to explore their own state.
There is more spectacular scenery in the USA than Australia but too many people! From Australia to Europe, UK, USA usually means a whole day both ways sitting on a plane, a day or two of horrible jet lag and of course the expense. Housing in any of cities is extremely expensive, rental properties pretty much non-existent at the moment. There IS a housing crisis here and youth crime is out of control. So yeah, not a perfect country, just a bit better than most others.
Thank you so much for this video. It really allowed me to showcase my country to my wife in America 😊
It's interesting whenever people talk about our variety of landscapes, they often miss that we also have snowfields. Not as amazing as european ski resorts, but definitely good enough to ski on every winter.
yes people don't even know it snows here
Ryan does, he’s done a reaction to Australia’s 5 best snowfields.
He was pretty stunned. Definitely impressed.
I’m not a doctor myself, but one of mine did once say that my problem was not how many Vitamins I was getting, it was how my body absorbed them. 🤷🏻 Just a thought
Hey hi Ryan look up Rottnest Island Western Australia... home of the Quokka. ..they are so cute and love people. 🇦🇺🥰
In the very first overhead shot, the bay to the left of the Opera House my partner and I anchored several times for at least a week and up to three weeks. Pretty cool being right in the middle of Sydney with free accomodation. We were even visited by the water police but because we had a really pretty boat, they just wished us a nice stay. :)
