Didn't get her facts right about Bob Hawke. He wasn't the longest serving Prime Minister and was the most popular but not because he drank beer.
Yes he was the longest Labour Prime Minister not Australia that is Sir Robert Menzies
His legendary beer drinking didn’t hurt his popularity though 😊
@@anthonypirera7598 second longest serving, and the second best, was Howard from the Liberal Party, (Financial Conservatives) responsible for the wealthiest period in Australian history after he saved the country with tax cuts following the Keating/Labor recession disaster.
He screwed middle class , still labor best but not best prime minister
@@kcc-karenschroniccorner9432 He was on the wagon in the period up to and becoming PM so it's hardly relevant. He fell of the wagon a few times and just before his death. He was a charismatic personality with a very Australian sense of humour and a sense of the ridiculous.
I love how you are questioning the non Australian narrator! 😂 YOU are becoming a true Aussie 👍 I hope you come here soon!
I know! Every time he's reviewing a video about Australia it's by an American 🤣 I'm like, great, we're being Ameri-splained again 🤣
The sarcasm is setting in nicely. (Y)
Well not really. Ryan is responding not narrating. He's not claiming to be the expert. You can see clearly some agitation towards the American narrator claiming to be an expert in the long-winded video which is really unremarkable. I think I agree with Ryan. And he likes to pull a face. I think that's what's funny about this site
OMG this lady is annoying af!
Picked it up straight away especially the pronunciation of Canberra 😂😂 guess we just got to be amused and accept that many others that are not Australian just don’t know our accent or pronunciations - at least Ryan is trying to 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇦🇺
You are already an Australian in my books, your sarcasm in your videos is brilliant. 🤣
Totally agree. Ryan is an honorary Ozzie!
Australia is the best place in the world, we don't take everything to serious, we work and play alot and are relaxed and enjoy life to the Max don't care about stuff cause you have to walk in someone's shoes before you judge them mate?
A lot of these stats sound old to me, especially the rules, hot pants were from the 70s, so I don’t think that rule would fly today with all the weird clothes worn. I just love sitting at an out door cafe and people watch, some of the site are priceless. Bev Aussie 🇦🇺🇦🇺👏👏
This lady talking about millions of meters killed me 🤣🤣 God this was hilarious, your sarcasm made it even better
Americans don't know 1,000 metres is a kilometre nor do they know that it is 0.62 miles (approx 5/8 of a mile - 0.625)
Why do people always forget about one of the most unique animals, the platypus when talking about special species to Australia. They are incredible in their on way and deserve more recognition
Echidna too
@@michaelfink64 I found out that there are more than one species of Echidnas. I think there are 2 in Australia and another 5 or more in New Guinea. One of the New Guinea species has been named after Sir David Attenborough. I think Sir David discovered that species.
Different species aside both Echidnas and Platypus are the only living examples of the third type of mammals.
I'm just glad the Bilby got some recognition.
Same with another species - bogan.
She mentioned the dropbear as if it was a real animal. 😂
HERES a fact you didn’t know about Australia, @ 2:37 “was a bunch of criminals “… is actually a picture of the first settlers of South Australia , landing at Glenelg as ‘free settlers’.
The difference between them and the convicts is a bit academic, since most were only petty criminals who were stealing to get by at a time when there was no social security only poor houses and exploitation.
Some were Irish radicals, some were hardened criminals but most were not. Thank goodness for the Irish and the Scots though, they livened things up! Australia was founded on a lot of idealism and notions of equality and we were among the first to give the vote to women and recognise one vote one value. In early times voting was according to considerations like property.
Only about one in ten of arrivals from 1789 onwards were actually convicts. The rest were free, un-indentured settlers from all over the world, and not just the UK and Ireland.
Convicts were also transported to the US. From the UK.
@@indigocheetah4172 not for long...the American War of Independence put a stop to it.
The fact that SA was the only state to not originally take in convicts as well makes it even funnier
Bob hawke is a bloody legend
Because he's a west Aussie 🇦🇺💪
Remarkable that he could hold so much grog as he was one of the smallest adult men i have ever seen.
Wait until you find some of the truths about him.
@@psychedelicprawncrumpets9479 he's actually a croweater.
I have this strong impression that you're gradually becoming more Australian over time Ryan. Your deprecating and sarcastic comments in response to nonsense are really developing extremely well. Keep it up.
"the emu, the only bird close in height to an ostrich"... apart from a cassowary and jabiru, also found in Australia and probably other birds overseas. She was wrong about the longest serving Prime Minister too. Robert Menzies (10 years longer) and John Howard (3 years longer) served much longer than Bob Hawke's 8 years. "Oh what is that? That's cool." Was Port Arthur - the site of convict settlement in Tasmania (also the site of the worst mass shooting in the world ever at the time (1996) which prompted Australia's very successful gun control laws and gun buyback). Australia's laws are nowhere near as weird as US laws
plus did you notice she said Coopers was popular in southern Australia and Adelaide well dah Obviously had no clue of the capital of S.A!
The law about the hay bale in the taxi is a remnant from when taxis were horse drawn. Another law left from the time when horses were the main source of transportation is that all pubs need to have a hitching post. There is also a lay prohibiting people from changing light bulbs unless they are a licensed electrician. I got bored one day and just spent ages looking up weird laws.🙂
And most are "on the books" but newer laws have superseded them. Laws are rarely removed but instead are just overruled by newer laws.
Totally agree!
@Nikita aka gixxer 750 slav ruski girl 🤗 I'm in Victoria, but was born in Queensland
She should have just have stayed in bed, is she for real!
I'm also pretty sure that u still get "hanged" for horse theft. Not that it would happen. But it's been a while since I looked up weird laws here. Lolz
Ryan being sassy today, I like it
Fact check Ryan 😢 the American lady stated Bob Hawke as the longest serving Prime Minister. He wasn’t. Robert Menzies was the longest serving with 4 terms then John Howard with 3 and then everyone else who have served 2-2.5 or 1 or less.
The 6cm movement north of the continent is actually 7. And the 7,000 beaches is nearly 12,000.
I haven’t subbed to her channel.
But you definitely need to come here and check it out for yourself.
You're right about Menzies then Howard in longevity as PM . I think you may have have confused how many elections they won as PM with how many terms they served as PM. Australian Federal Representatives are voted in 3 year terms ,though they can call for an election sooner. So with Menzies 16yrs (without counting his first term 1.5years approx) and Howard serving 11years they must have served more than 4 and 3 terms as PM .
Yes Howard won 4 elections. Menzies was 3 years then 16 years, Howard was 11 and Hawk almost 9.
Many of her facts were wrong or not quite right. Hawk though dies hold records for beer drinking at Oxford, all over Ireland and Australia but didn’t actually partake while he was Prime Minister.
@@macman1469 He holds the record as the Longest Serving LABOR PM.
@@aussieragdoll4840 well, yes. That’s true but that’s not what she said.
Another fact she didn’t mention was that Bob Hawke (mispronounced as Hock) was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. This a far better accolade than winning a beer drinking contest.
Bob Hawke was a legend!
He held the fastest beer drinking record when a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University, when he sank a yard glass in one go faster than any human being then, and since! LEEEGEND!!
My 5th great grandfather, was a convict,stole a gold watch, was a death sentence, but because he was only 18 years,the jury took pity on him and gave him a life sentence instead, he came to Australia and was fully pardoned 10 years later,
Why don't these ppl ever mention the platypuss, or ring tail possum, and our cute wombat
This was my favourite from my favourite reactor. Your dry humour is so welcome to Aussies - one beach, sand trap 😂😂 Australia has over 8,000 islands within its national waters.
The convict site is port Arthur in Tasmania and sadly the site of Australia’s largest gun massacre in 1996. This led to the gun buyback with mostly bipartisan support. Hence our strict gun laws.
Cover up by Howard government no coronary reports only to be released when Howard dies
The one beach line cracked me up mate LOL Your G'day at the start was spot on.
I've been watching most of your videos but it wasn't until this one that I was convinced that I should subscribe. Seeing how frustrated you got with the voice-over lady, I finally started to feel like I related 😅
It was actually kinda funny 😂
Also I'm fourth generation from Scotland. They sold up and bought in Australia, and came over to farm . But it wasn't easy.
They paved the way.
Pay my respects to the traditional owners of the land
same my great great great grandfather came from Scotland to farm in Vic but then his son came to wa to farm now my uncle has the farm n cousin about take over
Traditional owners of the land? You mean King George III and his heirs?
Oh and those weird laws are mostly old laws from the UK that we haven’t got around to getting rid of yet.
Like no taxi in Australia has a bale of hay in the boot (trunk). That’s just silly.
I seriously doubt those laws still exist...there are updates going on constantly with laws so they only way they might be there would be local councils by-laws and even then I think the nature of the law has bee misstated. But it all makes for a good story so let's just leave it run...IMO.
Yeah usually there's just another driver in there sleeping
The keys in the car was real, not sure if it was ever enforced but it was introduced by John Howard in the 90's to please insurance companies
Hi Ryan. Not sure if you know but Errol Flynn was an Aussie too, born in Tasmania. Cheers
Yeah they missed Errol as a famous Australian Actor but included Mel Gibson who is an American🤷♂???
You divided the metres into kilometres so fast! As if metric isn't so much better 😂
im australian but i get that they dont convert feet to miles in the usa
@@Bitz00. that would be such a pain in the building industry
@@Chewy1 It would be a pain in any industry that requires both units of measurement.
Let alone in the building industry where you not only need to be very precise in both of those units; But also more precise with two units of measurement below them as well.
Kilometre, Metre, Centimetre & Milimetre conversions by shifting an appropriate number of decimal places.
Verses
Mile, Foot, Inch & Thousandth of an Inch conversions, with potential Yard conversions popping in as an additional step in some calculations and a habititual conversion compulsion for others.
Yeah-nah, hard pass haha
@@soulsurvivor8293 not to mention memorising all the different conversions and not getting any of them confused.. would make for some fun calculations
@@soulsurvivor8293 hard nowadays but back here in Oz us old schoolers had no problem with inches and feet etc. thousands didn't enter into it. I prefer the old metric but it would be a nightmare today with the world opening up and more imports.... but I'm a dinosaur 😂
G'day mate!!!
I love your reasoning that there is only ONE beach LOL Or two if you count Tasmania haha
And as others have already said, that sarcasm makes you an instant Aussie.
Good on ya maaaaate!!
Wow! She actually put "Drop Bears" in the list of four most dangerous animals in Australia, apart from the box jellyfish.
I think your videos are great BTW. You shou check out some Russell Coight All Aussie Adventures. He is a crack up!!
I know drop bear's 😂.
Yes!! How has not found Russell Coight 🤣🤣
I wondered if anyone else had picked up on the drop bear comment. I wonder where she got her info from. Someone is pulling her leg.
on the 7000 beaches , the whole coast isnt beach, its broken up by headlands and rock meeting the sea, so each strech of sand is a "beach"
He was joking.
Hey Ryan, check out the story of John Hudson, the youngest convict to be sentenced for transportation.He was a nine year old orphaned chimney-sweep (dream job for a young fella!) who got seven years for stealing some clothing……
Oh, and a pistol!😂😂
This is why we are who we are in Australia mate….. & why we love/hate the poms (English) the way we do.
I don't hate the British . It must be just you . And you can't say we and talk for everyone . Don't call them poms very rude indeed .
@@hayley5866 take a chill-pill Hayley, it was just a bit of light-hearted banter! Have a read about John Hudson & ask yourself if a system which sent a 9-year-old to the other side of the earth, on his own, in that era, was a fair & just one? Just sayin……
I'm enjoying a nice cold beer on a beautiful warm Friday arvo in Sydney, who's with Me?!.....TGIF!
I’m with you 🍻🍺🍻🍺
Wine, not beer, but with you!
@@amygone2pot that’s ok, you’re in!😂😂
Cheers!🍻
Scotch and ice and a feed of prawns, let's have a party .
It’s pretty warm in Brisbane. 32c today. Not the hottest, they’re coming shortly, but still quite warm.
I bumped into Bob Hawke on two occasions. Cool guy. Anyway, when we beat your asses at the Americas Cup in 1983 he showed up to a gathering wearing that very cringe-worthy, but patriotic, Australian motif jacket. I stayed up all night to watch the event.
@Ryan Was Have a look at czcams.com/video/s8mdHO2_Zo8/video.html
Laying on the concrete is something you do on cooler days, because the concrete retains the heat from the sun and acts like a heater, on hot days it's scorching lol, it's a very popular aussie thing to do.
Be cool to see your reactions to Indigenous history and culture.
YES. Start with Dream Time Stories before the sh!t.
The Aboriginals are the oldest living civilization and culture in the world.
@Nikita aka gixxer 750 slav ruski girl 🤗 Id say the midgets would have been the worlds shortest living civilization 😆
Its probably why animals grow so big in Australia because they had an evolutionary growth spurt period from eating all the high calorie midgets.
I think Nikita's had a cider or 2 😉
This woman is having us on. So much of this must be a joke, especially the laws. I’m Australian and have never seen a bale of hay in a taxi boot. 😤
She is so silly her laws statement is rubbish
Its an old old one that was repealed in the 80s but when horse and cart where common, in Melbourne it was law that they needed food for the horses on board
She’s right about having to worry about dropbears, though (wink).
I've never heard of Beach Guides in Australia to keep tourists safe from Box Jellyfish. LOL
She actually called Liam Helmswortth "Lima". Whoever wrote her script, needs to check her reading
Lol she's clearly American.
They can barely understand English as it is.
Since when do "journalists" today do any spell or fact checking?
Happy Arvo! This is meant as an endearment and a mark of respect: in today’s video you were a right, royal, dinky-di, smart arse! Your humour is in alignment with so many Aussies! Good on ya! I look forward to your videos when you upload.
Take care and all the best to the wife and the baby! 🇦🇺💜🇦🇺
My aunt did our family tree. Took her like 3yrs, she found out that we came from a male convict who had been arrested for buying stolen goods (which was clothes). We were ecstatic..that we actually had a huge party.. I was pregnant so think I was only one sober! Iggy’s most popular song was “fancy” I would be surprised if you have not heard of it as it was a huge hit at the time..
That’s cool,yeah I did listen to some a good songs from Little Iggy Azalea, let’s say Fancy is one of my best flowed by “started”from 2019
“I'm so fancy
You already know
I'm in the fast lane
From L.A. to Tokyo
I'm so fancy
Can't you taste this gold?
Remember my name, 'bout to blow-oh-oh-oh”

Lol.. since I read your message I can’t get the song out of my head..
@@mgreen1206 really lol you love Lggy too??
Thankfully you are not typical.
'Spiderweb Bridge' The Kurilpa Bridge. is a walking bridge in Brisbane. There are 8222 islands that are part of 'greater Australia Islands and territories'
Nullarbor Links, the longest golf course.
It's a "Course" as in 18 holes. Not just one hole lol. If you like golf and adventuring, it's a must.
11:56 that’s Port Arthur Historic Site in Tasmania! During it’s time it was a convict settlement/prison. It hasn’t been in use for nearly 100 years now but it is open for tourism purposes.
Port Arthur closed as a penal establishment in 1877 so closer to 150 years. One of my favourite places to visit.
I love that drop bears and crocodiles were used seriously in the same sentence. Drop Bears are way more dangerous.
And box jelly fish - Northern, tropical Australia only.
Ya know, I was attacked by a drop bear last night; but then I awoke and realised I just had a bad dream

Glad they mentioned Cooper's Pale Ale. It's from my home state & the best beer in Australia. Ryan, have a look at 'Flinders Rangers' & 'The Ghan' train. #RADELAIDE.
spew
Hate to burst your bubble, but Coopers beer is the worst I ever tasted next to Southwark.
I feel like ryan is the only yourhber that I watch that pays alot of attention to Australia and all the other ones I have seen just barely they mention from time to time but ryan Ur vids are just about and that's what I love about Ur channel.
The Priminister was Bob Hawk and the leader of the opposition was Adrew Peacock. So we had a Hawk and a Peacock. I remember a cartoon of the time coming up to an election showed a voter about to walk under a tree and looking up anxiously at the Peacock and Hawk he is about to walk under. 😂
Very funny 😂
I remember the joke about Australian politics at the time - “We have a Hawke, a Peacock and the rest are a bunch of galahs”. These days Hawke and Peacock have passed away but we still have the bunch of galahs.
Yeah ... this narrator seems to estimate a lot of "facts" that seem easily verified with an ounce of research, so totally welcome your very "Aussie" (Ozzy) response. One easily checked fact would be to see Australia's longest serving Prime Minister, which was not Bob Hawke but Robert Menzies. Bob was awesome though ... gave us a public holiday for winning the America's Cup in 1983! We were the first to do it since it began 132 years prior so we celebrated hard!
Ryan you should be an honorary Australian for the great work your doing there bro. That law thing, totally BS, but that’s how we roll, have a look into Drop Bears!
You really need to come here, Ryan.... experience it for yourself & just enjoy the culture. She said "LIMA" not Liam
I bloody well thought she did! WTAF??? LOL
YES!! I want to see a happy arvo video from down under
@@nicolemcintosh6024 has anyone told him ( bless his socks) that we don’t actually say ‘Happy Arvo’? Lol I mean godlike him for trying but it sounds so weird…
@@elanhunter310 I Don’t know. I find it endearing lol. I’m betting he does know and says it ironically 😂

Went to the Ord River Scheme in Northern Western Australia - saw crocodiles in the water traps on the golf course
You had me in stitches…😂😂

The old joke is that Queensland beer is XXXX only because they can’t spell beer
I thought that was true...
@@stevecollins7698 Steve I’m from NSW now in Vic so I can’t say if it’s true
Hey! We in Queensland don't spell beer, we drink the bloody stuff
Always kind of heart-warming seeing people from around the globe take an interest in your country 🙂 you need to pack your bags and ship off to paradise 🇦🇺 🪃
I have never heard of those ‘weird laws’ and I live in Australia 😂 guess that’s how many laws there are 💀
They seem like bylaws, or local council laws which might be on the books but not enforced.
Other laws of State or Federal governments are constantly updated. I've never heard of them and they sound unlikely to me, but make for a good tall yarn.
@herctwenty11 Citation needed. I'm not going to attempt to add up all the different rules and regulations for the various jurisdictions in Australia (which is the only way you could arrive at such a high number), so help me out with your source. And then you would have to provide a source showing we are the worst offenders. We could definitely do with more law reform though.
@herctwenty11 yeah, it’s crazy 😵💫
@@daveg2104 even if the number is wrong, that just proves there are so many laws that we can’t count them 😂
@@aleeshawillow4017 There are a lot of jurisdictions, so I suppose they would add up. I'm thinking if you applied the same method to the USA, you would also end up with a very large number.
Hi Ryan, the reason Australia received convicts is that the American War of Independence was on, so the British could not send convicts to America. Instead they came to Australia. America and Australia are two peas in a pod... so to speak.
So true. It's amazing how most Americans know so little about their true history....
or,
like two spuds in a jacket!
like two snags in a blanket!
like two sheep in a dip!

@@noone6037 Amazing, but not surprising. The USA is built on, and runs on, mythology.
Bob Menzies served for 18 years. the longest serving PM.
Robert Menzies was easily the longest serving Prime Minister. He was the PM before WW2 for number of years and during part of WW2 but his longest stretch as PM was 1949-1966. Robert (Bob) Hawke was only from 1983-1991. A huge difference!
I live in a Alpine area in Victoria and it was pouring rain and 6 degrees today 😳😳🇦🇺

I love that she included 'Drop Bears' among Australia's deadly creatures. And I knew she was having a lend when she suggested that all taxis are required to carry a bale of hay in the trunk and that Bob Hawke was elected PM because he could down a beer faster than anyone else (that bit's true by the way). He was elected because for many years, before entering politics, he was the most popular person in Australia, known for being a man of the people as well as being very smart (a Rhodes Scholar). In fact, from the time he entered parliament, it was always assumed that he would be the next prime minister, sooner rather than later, and of course, he was.
Bob hawk "its a a bloody yard glass not two and a half pints and i did that in university"
And thats not why we loved him
Australia has 8,222 island within its maritime boarders. I was born on King Island, which is situation on the Western entrance into Bass Strait, between Victoria and Tasmania.
Yeah Have been looking up on Australia and found some interesting like Lord Howe Island and Kangaroo Island,never been to Australia but maybe I have to visit some day
@@stevebusto8192 Kangaroo Island is 13km from the coast of South Australia, is one of the best places in Australia to see wild animals like koalas, kangaroos, sea lions and seals. The distance between Kangaroo Island and King Island is 745 km. Both Island are in southern area of Australia, unlike Lord Howe Island which is off Queensland.
"maritime boarders"? Where do they stay? In aquariums or under undersea rock ledges? How is their board collected?
@@lesliewilliam3777 sorry I should've typed border, that you for pointing out my huge spelling error.
thank you - before you point that out!!!
I've heard them talk about those laws in other videos. A bale of hay in a taxi? No Hot pink hot pants on a Sunday? I don't think so.. I don't know why they don't get their facts straight. She also mentioned drop bears in a sentence with other animals, like they are REAL!
I Googled that hot pants one, and apparently nobody has ever been able to find any reference to it in the Laws of Victoria, past or present.
@@daveg2104 It's definitely a wind-up
the bale of hay in the taxi law was from when there were horse drawn carriages
@@ifminecrafthadfloods3659 All very improbable that they are currently on the statute books.
Bob Hawke downed a Yard Glass of beer (Guinness record) at Oxford University where he was a Rhodes scholar.
He did drink but stopped cold Turkey when he decided to run for Prime Minister job.
You are so entertaining to watch in this video!🤣🤣🤣 Keep up the good work!
Queensland has turned humid as hell
I live in a coastal suburb of Adelaide, in walking distance from the beach and I have never seen a box jellyfish.
You probably won't in South Australia. Come to Queensland and be very wary in the surf
Love how this woman talks about Drop Bears like they are real and love eating people!
She mentioned drop bears which are an Australian hoax...😃
shhh!
Bale of hay in a Taxi and pink hot pants laws............I would say what a load of rubbish. No Taxi carrys a bale of hay in the boot (trunk)
Bob Hawke was a Rhode Scholar, and a very smart man! 👍
I was an Australian Cabbie. The law about the hay was outdated law from back when we had horse drawn coaches as cabs. The law insured that those horses had food within the city. Very simple law.
What a silly woman! “…it is said that…” She could have checked her facts before making this post.
But nice job reacting mate.
Hope your baby and your wife are doing really well 😘
Ryan, you are like a fucking honorary aussie already. Like, sure, your accent is american, but you know more about our culture than like 15% of actual aussies I know
The box jellyfish are only found in the northern waters of Australia and usually just in the warmer months.
We lost a prime minister at a surf beach near Melbourne in the 60's, and when i say lost, i mean, he was never found! Harold Holt was his name.
He wasn't lost, he did the Harry Holt lol🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was CIA. He had just given the US military the Exmouth site for they're Ionospheric weaponry array thing, God only knows what it can actually do. Apart from intercepting communications, and guided missile navigation, its a weather manipulation device. And I dare say possibly even a DEW, a Directed Energy Device, and possibly even capable of V2K -Voice to Skull technology and mind/brain manipulation and control via brainwave mapping of an individual.
The taxi hay in the “boot” ( not trunk) was a law introduced during the time cars were being introduced and was to feed the horses that were slowly getting replaced. Not having the hey in the back was a fineable offence worth like 50c …
COOPERS, COOPERS, COOPERS! Best beer in the known universe!
As popular as Bob Hawke was, the longest-serving prime minister was Robert Menzies, who served in office twice: from 26 April 1939 to 28 August 1941, and again from 19 December 1949 to 26 January 1966. In total Robert Menzies spent 18 years, 5 months and 12 days in office.
We don't want Iggy back!
Bob hawke tells a great joke you should look into man was loved by many
Bob Hawke was not the longest serving Prime Minister, he wasn’t even second he does however have a beer brand named after him and it tastes great 😀
Im pleased with the amount of Melbourne footage featured. We got more than anybody else this time.
It always amuses me that most of these videos on Australia are voiced by non Australians and full of errors
"Several other tiny islands" lol, she might want to try 8222 islands.
My Grand Father Fred Heath, stated in the Sydney morning herald : Bob Hawk isn't a Labour Man's boot lace, I believe he was right.
"Coopers is popular in southern Australia as well as Adelaide" hahahaha. It's like someone trying to up their word count on a last minute essay.
2:52 - Ironically, as you speak about Australia being all about convicts the image in the background looks to be of the old gum tree, at the proclamation of South Australia on December 28, 1836. South Australia was Free Settlers.
I love watching Ryans reactions, they are blooy great 😂😂
BobHawke was the best. He actually reminded me of my dad.
I was told we had the highest population of WW2 Holocaust survivors than anywhere in the world - maybe AUS was a great a place to get out of Europe and heal. Met so many - some wouldn't talk but you could see their tatts. Breaks my heart. BTW Kiwis say we rattle when we walk (convict ref).
At least we shear and eat our sheep. I believe the Kiwis have other uses for their sheep.
The emu can definately walk backwards, and the kangaroo can shuffle backwards using its tail and four legs.

I was doing a 10km fun run in Canberra, and lo and behold, as I ran past the lodge, bob had a chair setup out the front, drinking a beer and waving. No guards, just the wife.
Years later, I bumped into Paul Keating and his wife in Manuka(a Canberra suburb) shopping alone albeit 2 big well trained Dobermans.
The ruins are located in Port Arthur (southern Tasmania) and was the site of one of ur largest mass murders in “modern times”. A crazed local shot many tourists and staff at this historic site back in 1996. This triggered one of the biggest “government guns buy back” schemes and changes to gun laws in Australia.
"Happy Arvo" You've got it. Your great, great grandparents just caught the wrong ship !

Hey mate. Love the channel and keep up the good work! Remembrance Day soon … love to see a reaction of ‘and the Band Played Waltzing Matilda’ … Liam Clancy or the Pogues. The folly of war from an Australian perspective. Heartbreaking
I love how sarky (Aussie for sarcastic 😉) you are in this video 😂
on Fosters it used to be one of the few nation wide beer brands since it was one of the few Beers that would travel well so you could go just about anywhere and know what you where getting, with advances in brewing improved the quality of the beer and made all but the most boutique live culture beers travel well. Fosters had just rebuilt their breweries right before the new technology became available and had nothing left in the kitty to upgrade their brand new breweries to the new tech, they now were faceing much improved and more windily available competitors wit the same old middle of the road for 20+ years ago beer.
