    Just to clarify after so many people got offended. I made this video to help other people before they come to Australia. A common search phrase is ‘things I wish I knew before coming to Oz’ that’s why I chose that title! I have been researching before I went to Australia so I kind of knew about the weather etc. but even if you look at a map you don’t realize how big the distances are. Same with the other things, I never knew you can do a ski season etc.

      Where you pay $7 for Bananas ?-Which time of year was it? I can go to my local Aldi &buy them for $3AU per kilo, maybe $3.50-$3.60/kg at Woolworths/Coles. High wages= high prices. It’s all relative. Australia has a high Alcohol tax, so the stronger the alcohol like whiskey or vodka, then the tax will be higher than it is on a beer. By the way, where do you get a bottle ( when you say bottle , I hope you mean a 700ml bottle) of Vodka for €4 ? You smuggled it over from Poland? Yes alcohol is cheaper i Europe overall, but Europeans don’t drink as much as Aussie’s do( per person) ,so the Alcohol doesn’t need to have such highs taxes on it..

      I agree with what you've said. Re the size of the country, it's not unusual to accept the information on an intellectual basis but still be surprised by the reality. I knew a fellow who's wife's parents were German, after reunification there were a lot of visits by relations who hadn't seen each other in years. I heard a few stories....

      @Timyra Jenkins Spider's are not that big, and if you're in the city, you probably won't see any. As for snakes , l haven't seen one in the 43 years l've been here in Melbourne. Visa is 3 months, l think you can get it extended. You need at least $6,000 Australian dollars a month, especially if you're gonna travel around nearly every day. Don't have more that $10,000 in cash on you when you arrive at an Australian airport otherwise you will get a fine. And don't have any porn on your phone, because custom officials at the airport will destroy your phone. And you will have to buy a new one. And don't bring food, it might get destroyed too.

      travelwithlille you’re not wrong, I was just poking fun a bit! All the shit processed food in the supermarket is also pretty cheap even though it includes a 10% GST in the price whereas fresh produce does not. Another good example would be in the fresh produce section often there will be both local and imported garlic (often from Japan but sometimes Europe). The local garlic will be 50% more or sometimes even double the price.

    Not sure where you are shopping but my vegetables and fruit purchases are the cheapest items on the list and I usually buy the best quality and in season items available. I find the frozen conveinience foods and cleaning products to be the most costly. I live in the southern suburbs of Perth and I know country areas are more expensive, you mentioned Broome, I have not been there for years but it was definitely be one of the most expensive places to shop in Western Australia when I was there.

      Wrong girl to ask. Watch 50 CZcams videos produced by backpackers on travel in Australia and you'll learn the truth. Come in early autumn (feb) and stay through spring (nov), not summer if you can't handle 32 to 36c and 75 to100% humidity in Queensland or 34 to 42c heat with less humidity in N.S.W. The sun is not just hot here in summer, it stings until you can't stand it. Long shirts, hats and sunscreen, mandator

In the end it's all comparable, yes some things are more expensive and also cheaper, day to day living prices are comparable in the end. Also if you do compare prices make sure to do it correctly, brand for brand or house brand for house brand.

    A note on "You can't come in. You're too drunk."
    I'm born and live in Sydney. One Friday after work I had a few drinks (Australian for- who's counting?) with an English friend of mine. We decided to go to another pub. As we entered the bouncer says, "Good evening." There were four guys behind us and the bouncer gave that you're too drunk line. So, two drunk thirty somethings in business suits are acceptable but four sober early twenties in casual clothes are not. In short, too drunk can be an excuse used when they mean, we think you are not the clients we are looking for.

My kids, they had to do a term of something, and that was it; satisfied their school requirements in Victoria. In america, we had to do at least 1 year.. but still pales in comparison to somewhere like Germany. Really a sad situation for us.

    Funnel-web spiders are one thing you _do_ need to watch for. Living in Sydney or generally warmer areas of Australia. They are known to be in backyards and they do still take lives as they are aggressive, so this is worth noting, redbacks in the garden are a thing too and they are tiny but even as an Aussie I take note.

      We haven't had a death from funnel web bites since the antivenom was discovered back in 1980, this is from the Australian Museum:
      "There have been no deaths in Australia from a confirmed spider bite since 1979. An effective antivenom for Redback Spiders was introduced in 1956, and one for funnel-web spiders in 1980. These are the only two spiders that have caused deaths in Australia in the past"

    @stevenbalekic5683 Pƙed 3 lety +1

    Fresh produce is seasonal in Australia. Any fresh produce that's out of season usually becomes expensive.
    Right now bananas are between .99c and 2.99 kg depending where you shop and tomatoes are between 1.99 and 3.99 per kg. Also for travellers it is advised to try and find a fruit and vegetable only shop, these places are usually pretty cheap and can be better for local farmers too. Don't be afraid to not shop at a large supermarket...while these are good for basics like packaged goods and sometimes meat and fresh produce when in season...a dedicated fruit and vegetable shop usually always be cheaper.
    Be careful of some places when described as a market, they can sometimes be places where they think their produce is grown in soil made of gold...steer clear of places like this.

    natural products (like bananas as you mentioned) would cost more because they are grown locally. The money goes straight from your pocket to the people selling, so they choose the price. Now me living in Canada, all foods that are imported are cheap, because often imported foods rely on cheap labour from second, third and fourth world countries. Cheap labour means cheap product essentially.

      Very true. A few years ago there was a move to import some bananas when much of our crop had been destroyed by a cyclone and it was forbidden Because Australia is free of the most common banana diseases that most other banana growing countries around the world have from time to time. So we will never be importing bananas from cheap labour countries. We do import some oranges from USA in the off-season because oranges are so seasonal, but there is no risk of disease with them. Not much else is imported afaik. Just a few specialty things like asparagus etc.

      The spiders are everywhere, but the ones you usually see aren't the really venomous ones. Two to watch out for are the Sydney funnelweb and the red back spider (look them up). That said, just don't put your fingers or hands into any space where you can't see, including tide pools at the beach (some sea creatures are highly venomous), and be careful when turning over bits of rock or wood lying on the ground. I've lived in Sydney all my life and never seen a funnelweb, redback spider or blue-ringed octopus in the wild, and they can each kill you. But antivenom is readily available for the main venomous spiders and no-one has died in Australia from a confirmed spider bite since 1979.
      And the trouble with Queensland is generally that it's hotter than further south, but the waters are full of marine stingers 😉

      Perth native here. Immigration obviously came to a standstill during covid, but the borders are opening back up again and the job market is ridiculous atm, seriously you should absolutely no issue scoring a job and Australia is ALWAYS desperate for skilled workers (coz us Aussies are lazy as fuck lol).
      Rent on the east coast is an absolute joke atm tho, sort out a place before you get here otherwise you'll end up staying at a hostel for like 2 months.
      Sydney is one of the most expensive places to live in the world, so be very aware of that when finalising your plans. . . Personally I wouldn't recommend Sydney, I honestly consider it to be more or less the shittiest part of Australia. Go Melbourne or Brisbane if you have your heart set on the east coast.
      If you're coming to stay I think the immigration process is roughly 6 months (our government has a massive hard-on for endless and meaningless paperwork).
      I wouldn't bother having more than like $10k in savings when coming over. . . You can furnish a whole house for like $1k just off of gumtree (trading app), and scoring a good quality 2nd hand car is pretty cheap (my 08 rodeo only cost me $5k and that beast is going to outlive me by miles).
      Come in autumn or spring, coz if you're not used to the heat trust me when I say you'll wanna ease into it. . . Perth has dry heat, Brisbane gets the humid heat (Brisbane in summer is like swimming through air, it's gross lol). It's 40° today in Perth and that's considered a very mild summer day, it'll hit 47-48° again very shortly.

    Good evening Emily,
    I just saw your video, and i have a question for you please
    I am a junior architect with +1 year of experience and different skills. I graduated with distinction from a "NECHE" accredited university.
    Due to many things happening in my country, i'm starting to consider migration as an option for a better future. And i need someone's advice,
    What can you advice me concerning migrating to Australia, is it worth it for an architect and a better future?
    Thank you for your time

      I honestly have no idea what the job situation is like for architects but the average wage in Australia is much higher than in most other countries xx it’s a lovely country to live in
