Am proud & grateful for being an Aussie every day 😍
Mate, I couldn’t agree with you more. Grüße aus Australien. Tschüss.
long live Australia day
@@phil6506 Mate, I wish ALL Australians would appreciate the country in which they NOW LIVE. I have travelled extensively and learned we in Australia are truly blessed. There have been terrible misjustices inflicted on some in the past and we have learned from this. Unfortunately, there is a small section of our fortunate community who believe they have been “wronged” and want recompence. There have been been 50+ years since Gough Whitlam yet the politicians we Australians have charged with the responsibility of serving us are still FAILING TO DELIVER SOLUTIONS. Grüße aus Australien. Tschüss.
If the POM's didn't arrive and take over , someone else would have. Maybe some dictatorship with little empathy for the natives, or the the people they settled here. Best country in the world to live for all it's citizens .@@peterfromgw4615

The spider was only a Huntsman harmless to us, great at keeping your house free of mosquitoes etcetera.
And that was only a very small one.
Yeah, BUT my Aunty, who has had a baby, was bitten by a huntsman, and the pain was the worst and longest 3 seconds, OF HER LIFE....
AND don't forget the bloody bustards jump on you and ARE fast runners.... NOT COOL....
I'd rather deal with a snake than a spider irrespective of size.
That being said, of all our spiders, I think, tbh IF I HAD to HAVE a SPIDER ON ME....the REDBACK would be my choice, they're NOT aggressive per sè, (even though Ive been bitten by the bastards 3 times, my hubby once), they're not fast like the bloody huntsman. 😱
Huntsman spiders are frightening in appearance, totally harmless [shy and skittish], but are beneficial when it comes to keeping various insects [like mozzies] away.
ONLY a huntsman! Are you insane? Give me a snake over a spider any day!
@@aussie5493they don’t jump on you. I have never seen a huntsman jump but they sure can bring on a heart attack. If I didn’t find spiders repulsive, I’d be fearless because there’s really not any other creatures I fear, well apart from crocs but who comes face-to-face with a croc unless you live up north.
Its the reference to Nimbin that makes it funny. It's a famous hippy commune. At Citizen ceremonies they usually give out small Australian native plants.
Australian spiders are affectionate, come in a wide range of designer colors and are perfectly safe, child friendly, house pets - so long as you do not aggravate them or let them bite you.
😂😂😂
Nah, very dangerous. That’s why there’s been so many deaths. The last spider death was only recently in 1979, 45 years ago.🤣🤪😁🦘
Our deadliest animal is the horse. 77 deaths over 10 years.
@@Edam-Channel Every video that focuses on Australia’s “dangerous creatures,” I always make the comment you made about the horses, (followed by cows) Imagine how many other countries would have more deaths by their own creatures other than horses? 🦘
You can train them to open the fridge and bring you a beer
C’mon Ryan, the “cookies” are ANZAC biscuits mate.
They’re absolutely delicious 🍻🇦🇺
he's a fwit what did you expect
Think... oatmeal & golden syrup cookies
He should know by now🤷
@@nolajoy7759 he's a Fwit what do you expect

Having to ask for the community to house teachers has been around in the country postings for years. I started teaching in 1979 and was ''billeted' on a dairy farm. Loved it!
My parents were boarding in the 50s
It’s just a Huntsman spider. No need to be afraid. They’re our friends!
"Ive never seen so many knobs.... most American showers only have one" 🤣🤣🤣
Ryan, All Australian prescriptions show the normal Full Price of the script.What you don’t see is on the Left side of the label which shows the Pharmacy price to the patient. Usually around $32.50. Pensioner s get scripts for $6.30 ( up to $7.80. Looks like someone is making meds look expensive. Recently I had Covid and only paid .$6.30 but the FULL PRICE WAS $932. It just shows how much our meds are subsidised by the Federal Government. Oz is still the Lucky country.
Some meds are private script & cost more. I recently paid $9.99 for a private script instead of $6.60, cause it was for my birds, so wasn't eligible for any government subsidy (probably would have cost about $50 in the US)
You're bloody dinkum, mate. Oz is the best country on the planet.
Then if you hit the safety threshold. Many common medications become even cheaper
Nimbin is the weed capital of Australioa, they even have a festival to celebrate cannabis, called mardi grass.
Hilarious! I hope you have been to Mardi Grass as it might impress you.
Lots of celebrity/famous people like you Ryan come to Byron Bay in NSW to holiday and visit Nimbin 43 miles away. Very busy with tourists during MardiGrass in May
Come and Visit 😊🤣
Hippies totally wrecked a beautiful little village. My grandparents worked their guts out in that region and raised 11 kids.
You’re from Nimbin with that spelling mate 😂😂😂😂
@@IdonthaveatwittersoFoff. Not sure what you are talking about.
I have lived in Australia for 35 years and I am yet to be in danger from any native creature.
Born an Aussie, had our first snake removed from our roof, …. Been around since the 60’s.
you should go outside :)
@@sweetpea7715 I occasionally encounter Belinda, my pet Eastern Brown snake in my back yard. I give her a wide birth and she ignores me.
Don’t underestimate Weetbix Ryan. You dress them up with toppings the same way as oatmeal: fruit, yogurt, honey. Teachers’ starting salaries in Australia are quite good. This illustrates how dire the housing crisis is in areas of the country.
I always ate mine 'natural'. Just with milk. Six a day.
I like weetbix with a top layer of butter. no milk or fruit.
@@kitat83 We used to split them horizontally and butter them and eat with jam or Vegemite.
@@kitat83Yes, I also have mine dry with butter, and add Vegemite. Yum.
@kitat83 I used to do that too.... I thought I was the only "weirdo".....
Weetbix for brekkie and lunch.... and occasionally dinner....🤣🤣🤣
You need to look up Nimbin, Ryan.
Or not, it might be embarassing! ☹️
Definitely. I grew up in the area and certainly don't doubt anything that they would give people😅
It's like the Florida of Australia 😂
You're talking to thin air. 🤷
One of my favourite places to visit. Nimbin has its own laws
If that large tree is in Australia . You will find in the Valley of the Giants in WA....
I’m thinking, jarrah.
I think the Karri is the third tallest tree in the world . I believe the US has the tallest tree. I was more amazed with the width of the Jarrah trunk which is about 3m more or less @@judithstrachan9399

Come to any pub in Australia and you’ll see plenty of nobs 😜

When I was born the population was only 8 million. Paradise!
10 000 000 + when I was born .
1950’s?
@@Aaron_Hanson
Yes, 1950's.
18 million when I was born
Wow , that’s crazy to think about 😝 , enjoy your day
We may have plenty of room here, but its not all habitable, and there is an extreme shortage of housing, affordable or otherwise.
The cut off the statue of Captain Cook at the ankles so they obviously used an ankle grinder. 😅
😂
It's only a little huntsman spider harmless.
The $5 Coles checkout fee was refunded to the C/Card, and, additionally, by way of apology, they were ALSO issued a “Spend $50, get $5 off” (10% discount) coupon. It was on top of the refund, not instead of. It happened to me and they did the same thing. Refunds to C/Cards take up to 5 days to show in your account.
Yeah depending on your bank it can take up to 10 business days to process as someone who has worked for coles online it’s a bank end thing
And that coupon is valid for one year.
whew that makes sense
Anzac. Australia and New Zealand Army Corp. These biscuits were invented to help celebrate ANZAC day for both Countries. 🇦🇺🇳🇿
They were actually invented when they women sent them to the Anzacs serving in WW1
The Federal Government has patented the actual original recipe so to preserve a bit of history
He has been told numerous times. 🙄
@@nolajoy7759 Im sure he goes through the videos has a chuckle gets amazed and as soon as he finishes retains nothing. Keeps calling Woolies WOOLSworth thinks KMart is a supermarket even tho hes been told amazes him that our houses roads transport are different to US and it always shocks him that we get snow. 😩
They do taste better with ginger though
Not surprised that that plant was given by Nimbin 😆😆 wacky tobaccy is quite common in Nimbin 😅
Those biscuits were Anzac Biscuits, an Aussie icon like the lamington. Most houses don't have the 4 tap handles all in the same place. That is a strange pic bcoz shower knobs are up higher and the bath knobs are lower.
But…you can run the shower and the bath at the same time….👍
I agree with the comment that says "you need to look up Nimbin". I was there in the 1970's for a couple of days. They had a fashion parade. All the clothing was made of hemp that they had grown themselves......😉 There is a commune in Nimbin.
just remember kiddies, hemp is not mary jane
@@phil6506 It is in Nimbin. Multi purpose plant it was back in the day ,😂😂😂
Nimbin is practically mainstream these days. It's mildly horrifying (for someone who grew up in the area)
Happy Arvo Ryan! 🙋🇦🇺 Um they have really unique citizens in Nimbin, don't smoke that alone! 😄 Oh yes Australia, we are so lucky! Australia Day is our day and the day most of us became us free, proud, happy Australian citizens and we celebrate that privilege! 🤗 UK doctors and teachers are moving here daily, they cannot afford to live in England, but can afford full lives here! 😁 BBL is an exciting, fast paced state vs state cricket competition! 😁 Buyer beware, read the fine print! 😂 Captain Cook had been dead for over 20 years before the unarmed, chained, starving convict "invasion", it was pointless and horrendous vandalism on an 'innocent' international hero! 😠 See ya mate! 🤗👍
Cook is a symbol
@@mehere8038 Yes, a symbol of how to aspire to a productive life of humanly impossible achievements, how to respect all humanity and different ethnicities, and to apply patience in seeking a goal! 👍
@@jenniferharrison8915 How does shooting an Indigenous man in order to land on Australian shores equate to "respecting all humanity & different ethnicities" in your mind?
@@mehere8038 What pamphlet did you read? Both Cook and Flinders employed Aboriginals to guide them, no natives were killed unless they struck first! All along our history the Aboriginals have been the aggressors, not the British! They have more rights, freedom and taxpayer money than any of the other 270 cultures in Australia! 😠
@@mehere8038 I prefer to misspell his name as 'Crook'.
There isn't plenty of room, though there is plenty of space.
Perhaps if the building industry stops collapsing and there would be plenty of room.
The trend for B&B home type holiday accomodation businesses is keeping a lot of houses empty most of the year during off peak holiday time.
I don’t think it’s B&B because the owners usually reside in a B&B premises however AirB&b definitely affects the housing situation dramatically. This seems to be the situation in a number of countries.
Nimbin on far north coast of NSW has been described 'the marijuana capital of Australia
Canberra!
Teachers in Queensland start off on about $80k a year and that increases to over $100k a year. They can also get promotions to higher teaching positions which pay even more.
Yeah, but you still have to put up with the kids ! I taught until I couldn’t cope with the outrageous behaviour of the entitled children , and the fact that they expect to get away with it. Not there to learn and parents using school as a free babysitting service. Kids growing up in a very different environment from the 70s when I began my teaching career.
A relief teacher in Western Australia two years ago was $400 a day
Yeah, we have a citizenship ceremony, its optional, how extravagant it is, is down to the local shire i think, as a kid it was hosted by the local Lions club down on the grass at the park by the river under the gum trees. A stage n PA, come up on stage, shake their hand, and a fancy piece of paper (the actual citizenship papers were formal that came in the mail, but if you wanted a certificate to hang on the wall or something, you could opt in). volunteers put on morning tea with all the stereotypical aussie baked goods, proceeds to charity. It was all the Nanas old traditional recipes, big pot of strong tea. not sure how other places did it, or how it goes nowdays, this was like, 30 years ago. There was usually a game of cricket, kickin the footy around, a game of tag. quite a wholesome affair.
You should do a video where you try the ‘Australian Citizenship Test’ -you can find the practice test online!
Ryan would fail the Aussie Citizenship Test in the blink of an eye.
@@jslasher1 🥲 haha 😄
The empty house problem is huge here in Oz. People just seem to air bnb their extra properties rather than rent out full time. It’s such a shame….
The taps are usually on an older house, they are more up to date than that now. The teacher's income in South Australia is $91.572 per year.
06:35 How showers / baths were everywhere in the world 50 years ago basically. New places have mixers, they're relatively recent inventions as things go.
but no top & bottom taps in a combined bath/shower? So do you reach up for the bath tap or reach down for the shower one? Makes no sense to me not to have separate sets at the right height for safe use. Imagine if someone else turns on a tap in your house while you're in the shower with shampoo going into your eyes & suddenly the water goes hot cause of that other tap switching on & instead of just being able to grab the nearby cold tap, you have to reach down, putting you fully under the hot water & fumble for the cold while not slipping. No thanks!
The bikkies may be anzacs, and the yellow lid is vegemite. There is a chain called IGA, in oz, independant grocers who banded together for bulk stock buying.
That medication would never be on the PBS ( the prescription benefits scheme ) that the government subsidises. This medication shown is used to quit smoking . So the company and the pharmacy can charge what ever. Most PBS meds are under $10 - the Aussie government subsidises thousands of drugs and they have a threshold that if you are on benefits once you reach usually $1000 bucks for the year those medications are free.
Not quite true. You can actually get your GP to write a prescription on the PBS for nicotine patches. They're a lot cheaper than going to a chemist and buying them off the shelf.
My grandparents house was built in the 1930's as were the rest of the houses in the suburb outside the north of the capital city Perth. When my grandparents bought it everybody said "Why live way out in the bush?" Now it is considered almost an inner city suburb Such old 12 ft high art deco corniced ceilinged houses and leafy streets ard gardens are now considered quaint and gorgeous.
A lot still have the old dunny out the back and a modern toilet in the bathroom where the walk in shower used to be. A modern shower over the bath with the old bath tap plumbing still in place. My nanna and grandad and their kids, had to deal with sand, snakes, redbacks and frogs and big native bush rats from the local wetlands when going to the outside dunny every night. Nanna refused to get a " filthy " toilet in the house until the 1970's. They also had a pet kangaroo living in the yard and house with them until it bounded through the closed front glass door to greet an old family friend. Then he was sert to a friendly farm.
Where in Perth was that NOR or SOR?
as a kid in the 60s we lived in Belmont. i used to go down the road and play with the cows, that paddock is Belmont forum shopping centre now and there were horses across the road from us as well. im still living in a house built in the 30s, i have a whole town to myself. its an old mill town near manjimup.
G'day Mate! That prescription one was a little baffling. Most common medications are covered by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme for which the maximum coat is currently $31.60 AUD per script. So no idea what rare med that was for which is not covered... Unless of course they do not have a valid Medicare card... Cheers!
You are more clever than you think, Ryan. Those 4 knobs are indeed for shower (top 2) & bath.
Shower-over-bath is quite common in Oz, especially in older homes. I prefer a stand-alone shower.
Teachers are paid enoughbut rentals in Sydney are astronomical.
In Germany up to WWII there was allways a house near the school with flats for the teachers. There has also been a house for the priest next to the church. BOTH owned by the community.
This week….we had a big ass Cat 3 cyclone in Townsville NQ! 3 days with no electricity…not fun in horribly hot, humid conditions! 😂
He never covers any natural disasters here for some reason. I wish he would, it's a large part of what makes our culture & mateship what it is.
Hope you're doing ok now & not too much damage
I hope you are ok there!
What I find incredible is that on the sides of the boxes of those ridiculous masks, there is a list of things for which the manufacturer says these masks are ineffective. The first things mentioned are bacterial or viral infection.
You do know that KMart don’t sell groceries right? So we can’t get stuck into them about food prices unlike W & C who we’d boycott if we had a choice!!
lol saw a video from nimbin last week a guy doing a vlog asks a sheila walking past to show him her hairy armpits so she does he was shocked then she say's you should see how hairy my bush is and proceeds to show him her bush.
Why a statue of Captain Cook in Victoria? He didn't land here or have anything to do with our great state. There are plenty of worthy Victorians who deserve a statue for their contributions to our state.
Mate, I totally agree with you regarding worthy Victorians deserving a statue but none of them will be a BLOODY POLITICIAN!!!!!! Grüße aus Australien. Tschüss.
I did say worthy, mate. That automatically excludes politicians.@@peterfromgw4615
Irrespective, why destroy it? We're now a VERY multicultural country.
Even our black (majority) fellas are whiter than me - of Scandinavian heritage, wouldn't be here if they didn't have a white fella aspect in their DNA, so essentially theyre protesting the atrocities of their forefathers as well, not just the the white fellas...
Ruddy apologised, it's a case of why should WE ALL, First Nations, Black Fellas, White Fellas, Asians, Africans, Indians, Europeans etc be punished for what happened by none of us, and the hypocrisy of the "black first nation white fella" is just mind boggling....
I'm indigenous to this land as I was born here.
We have literally only a handful of TRUE Aboriginal people, and they are honestly the most beautiful people to have the honour to know.
I feel for the white black fellas or the black white fellas, whatever your preference aka the ones who wouldn't be here if they weren't of mixed culture....
Reason? Many (as someone who grew up with them in WA) are shunned by BOTH their tribal and white origins...
The actual full and remote Aboriginal community have no time nor respect for their whitened down people.... Why? The trouble that's caused....
Our tribal Elders don't have like being slighted and put in the same category, they want to live their lives in peace.
I have SO much respect for them and am ashamed at what their white/black fella (watered down) people put them through....
The full Aboriginals are absolutely beautiful, would give their shirts off their backs; give you help, unite IRRESPECTIVE of your personal background.....
The people with Aboriginal in them NEED to embrace BOTH sides of their genealogy, bot sides have persecution and a use BUT ALSO many beautiful qualities.....
At the end of the day we ALL hurt, love, laugh, cry irrespective of the colour of our skin.....
Whatsmore on the autopsy table we're ALL exactly the same, flesh and blood......
Love unites, hate divides. Acceptance, Tolerance and most IMPORTANTLY, RESPECT IS A MUST.....
His mother's house is there too isn't it? Saw it as a kid when visiting Melbourne & it was considered a "tourist attraction". They imported the whole house that he was born in from England to Melbourne for some reason! Statue's kinda a nothingburger compared to doing that imo, house is insane & bizarre
"It's not letting me see what year this was" as he hovers over the date in giant numbers
Big bash is cricket you really need to watch Wasza
The situation with the housing request for the teacher is what happens when our government keeps letting too many immigrants in to the country while we have a severe housing shortage, not to mention before we have the infrastructure to accommodate them. I'm all for immigration, but at the moment we don't have enough housing for everyone already here.
Luckily currentmob halved it
Yes but we have negative gearing where some people own more than one house and instead of letting them out for rentals, they air bnb their homes. I live in a NSW coastal town and there are heaps of empty “holiday houses”.
@@evaadams8298 I agree that's a big part of the problem with housing, although at least with negative gearing it only works if the home is being rented out? Air BNB certainly isn't helping, but I'm not sure how that problem can be solved.
@@carolynejubber sure. I think they should start really taxing people like they do in some other countries on their extra homes if leaving them empty. Also I think the govt must start looking at all those empty offices in central Sydney. The idea that staff only need to go in say, one day a week is just ludicrous. They could use the space better or do more share spaces, say different Companies use offices on allocated days per week. Just some thoughts really…. It’s a massive problem. Sorry this is so long, but I watched a program on Venice and it said that many people especially from the US, and “rich” Russians go there for a holiday, love it, so decide to buy an apartment and then hardly visit at all. So the city has lost a bit of its soul. It was really insightful.
@@evaadams8298 Yes, and everyone one of them is owned by some cashed up baby boomer in Sydney. And why won't the government put an end to negative-gearing? For the same reason it loves giving tax breaks to top-tier income earners.
The big bash league is a series of cricket matches.
Thanks a lot Ryan, now there’s a shortage of pitchforks in Australia.
11:03 There's not a million empty houses. People just don't know what the census data means, it just means it was empty on census night. That means people could be away for the night / travelling / didn't respond to the census / the place was in between tenants / had just settled for sale / put up for sale / was in an extremely remote area / may not have even been habitable / are short term rental houses in holiday area etc. There's lots of reasons, so amazingly rich they can afford to keep it empty is going to be 0.00001% of the empty houses, and they're not going to budge for tens of thousands since that's already a fraction of what they're giving up by leaving the handful of places actually empty, empty.
When you consider that on average 2.4 people live in every house/unit in Australia, that means 1 in 10 homes were empty on census night, that's a LOT of homes! Do you really think 10% of homes are between tenants/owners every night in Australia?
It was at a particular time wasn’t it … I remember being put on someone else’s cause I was there for dinner so technically no one was in my home
@@turquoisebubbles2042 Question was actually "Who spent the night of Tuesday 10 August 2021 in this dwelling?"
I mean imagine if it was a specific time & people were shopping or driving at that time, wouldn't be very helpful would it, would cause major confusion & not provide the data as to who was sleeping where, which is what the census is wanting to record
I had a package opened once. My mum sent me a bag of those little red cinnamon hearts...they obviously thought it was drugs...😂😂
In 2020 I saw in a jewelry store a FREE Diamond ring in a with every roll of toilet paper. The toilet paper was $1000.00 per roll🤣
A Chinese Aussie showed me a meme that was circulating in China back then too, with a man on his knee in front of a woman, who is looking overjoyed & a caption saying "if you love her, give her something really precious" & in the man's hand is not a ring, but a bag of 18 toiletpapers. Probably where that store you speak of got it from (that meme was right back at the start when the panic buying just began. I & that Chinese lady had gone to the supermarket just to look in disbelief at the empty shelves & were laughing & joking about it. Never occurred to us at that time that it would become a pattern, we thought it was a one off thing & would be over within a week or 2 & everything in stores back to normal. How wrong we were!
I'd say your right it looked like an engagement ring style and cost.@@mehere8038
Happy Australia Day
The coupon expires in January, 2025, that’s a whole year to do your next shop! It’s Coles, if you shop there for your groceries, chances are you’ll shop there again. When you do, they’ll knock $5 off your total, and thus he’ll get his money back. This offer is only for him, not the general public.
Our last cenus was during Covid lockdowns. I meant a lot of people who weren’t there or not really empty just not staying at the home actually moved to be with family during lockdowns so not really the same as a normal cenus
That makes sense :) Probably people trapped in the wrong state too & also homes normally occupied by students & backpackers, who had returned home & not been replaced by new ones due to border closures
I watched a willy wagtail get up a magpie y'day . Chased it in the air and gave him a nice ol clip behind the ear . Karma.at it's finest.
3:19 Those “cookies” are called ANZAC* biscuits. In WW2 our soldiers were running out of supplies & they made field rations with what they had. It was so tasty that they kept making them at home after the war. We eat them every ANZAC Day. ANZAC Day (on the 25th of April) is our day of remembrance for all the fallen soldiers & and a time to pay respects to the few survivors who are still around. Many of us get up extremely early to hold a moment of silence for our fallen at gatherings holding a candle. During lockdown we stood in our driveways and you could see candlelight flickering up & down the suburban streets, across the nation. 11:25 we had a boarder for a while until the landlord got shirty about it. He was adopted as family beforehand & I miss him since he moved out but we do get to see him every few weeks
* Australian & New Zealand Army Corps
ww1, not 2.
They were made for 2 reasons, 1, to sell at home to fund raise, 2, to send to the troops at Gallipoli etc with no refrigeration & months of travel time to reach them, so a sweet treat that wouldn't go off during those months in hot transit was needed & ANZAC biscuits served that purpose
There are Citizenship ceremonies around Australia Day. That is when the new citizen pledges to Australia and they are formally welcomed to our community. They used to be on Australia Day but now councils can have them within 3 days either side. Australia Day is currently a contentious issue and is referred to as Invasion Day or Survival Day by our First Nations people.
Welcome to Country is a smoking ceremony by our First Nations people. Firepit type of smoking.
They're ANZAC cookies. You should try the recipe :)
The Big Bash is a cricket tournament, sponsored by KFC
Coles and Woollies [Woolworths] are being investigated by the ACCC, the consumer watchdog, for price gouging. Yea, being a customer who shops at both in Broken Hill NSW I am inclined to agree with ACCC.
Australian teachers are very well paid, the average is $100000 per year, with 12 weeks leave, 8 days public holidays, 8 days sick leave, student free days, long service and the list goes on!
Just a wolf spider... good to have in the house... love mozzies!
I have prescriptions that say four hundred dollars but the price I pay is seven dollars ninety cents. The benefit of the pharmaceutical scheme! Unless that prescription is for a non PBS item then max price is $31.60. The price difference is probably a batch price increase from the manufacturer.

Just for the record: There was a shark attack on a woman in Sydney harbour about 7:45 pm EDST January 29, you may hear about it in a this week in Australai video.
Dope is legal in the ACT/Canberra for personal. We are allowed to grow 3 plants per person. ACT Australian Capital Territory like Washington DC
The plumbing is what you would expect in a 60 year old house
The cookies were ANZAC biscuits, made for Aussies soldiers in care packs, during the war. Huntsman spiders often go to the shower at night for moisture. Always check your towel - one crawled actoss my stomach before I saw it in the mirror 😱 (they rarely bite). Colesworth (as you call rhem), are being crooks lately; their security gates give me anxiety andcthe over the shoulder cameras makes me furious. Stay well Ryan 😊
People in our suburb in Melbourne buy a house and then pull it down, with the intention of building a new "McMansion". The block can be vacant for years. Doing that, the new owner doesn't have to pay the empty house tax and they also don't have to worry about squatters. The empty house tax should be extended to people who had a house on ther property, pulled it down, and then don't build within a specified time.
Kmart Australia is owned by the same company as Coles & has nothing to do with the US Kmart. They aren't a supermarket, its a retail department store.
Wesfarmers owns KMart, as well as Target, Bunnings, Officeworks and some others. They set Coles apart a few years ago, so now Coles is on its own, although I think Liquorland is still with Coles.
Mate, we are allowed 4 cannabis plants up to fence height in the capital. Has been that way ever since I moved here in 1992.
Happy arvo, Ryan. I enjoy your videos. Greetings from Melbourne.
Big Bash is fast and furious Cricket.
There’s a lot of knobs in Australia. lol.
Big Bash is a cricket comp, and yes KFC is the naming rights sponsor.
ABF is Australian Border Force, ie customs control at the international border.
Kmart Australia is owned by Wesfarmers, the same company who owns Coles and Target Australia. These stores have no connection to the US stores.
They are Anzac bikkies. They are normally made for Anzac Day but we can eat them all year around
My husband has 2 huntsman spiders living in his Ute at the moment. They’ve been living in there for the last few weeks. Doesn’t worry him .Can’t wait till the babies start hatching. “ Bugger” . Bugger

Thanks for pointing out our bathroom plumbing inadequacies which again points out we can be f’n dumb as well, see what can happen when your blessed with mineral deposits.
it's really not though is it, quite the opposite! With a combined bath/shower, obviously it's better to have nobs at the right height for both functions
Im so very grateful to be Australian.
Depends on your definition of 'knobs'...😂
Many Aussies do not pay the full amount for medicines... I rarely get charged over $7
Nimbin is a very unique very small place (its not too too far from Byron Bay, the celebrity hippy beach place)
The cookies are ANZAC Biscuits and they look nothing like Weet-Bix, which are rectangular bricks of compressed wheat flakes. They come in a red and navy blue box, which you’ll see if you google them. I have mine with banana slices and a little milk so they don’t go soggy. The yellow round is a Jar of Vegemite, naturally.
Knobs! …. Yeah, come to my work, plenty of big ‘knobs’ there!
Country hospitals & some schools have homes for doctors / school principals but these are few & far between. My old school has a home for the Principal but this became a childcare as the other spare rooms were needed for new classrooms.
0:50 In Nimbin? there's about a 200% chance.
We have empty house tax In Victoria (most prog state)
People have holiday houses,
And there was a trend for businesses/ Corps to buy houses - leave a chunk empty to push up rental prices
But they also get to pay no taxes (as they put it down as a tax loss - negative gearing laws that John Howard brought in )
Good ol Johnny 🤨
Weed is not legal except for medicinal prescription. Nimbin is the drug capital of Australia, hence the hoke. Teachers are very highly paid in Australia. All drugs on the PBS are $30 or less now. Certain drugs that the government doesn't subsidie are full price, but still cheaper than in the US. And if there is a need and only that drug will do, an application can be made to government and people can get the meds subsidised to the $30 mark. That Captain Cook statue has always been targeted. It's also in a convenient location to be attacked, and often has nothing to do with anything.
The only place in Australia you will find more knobs than a bathroom is Canberra
I love being a Australian
KFC has been the BBL's sponsor for some years now.
K-mart Australia is owned by the same company as Coles and Bunnings. Not much real competition in Australia.
Up the might Brisbane Heat! Hometown team won the Big Bash (Cricket) competition
Would not surprise me at all if they handed out weed at Citizenship Ceremonies in Nimbin... weed capital of Oz!
