Cheques are archaic? My bank finalised cheques last year. Eating roos. You CAN eat roo if you want to. Few ever do. The only time i are roo was when i was a roo shooter way out in the bush. Mardi Gras is Sydney. AUSTRALIA does not have Mardi Gras. Cheddar is a propriety name from England. the same as Champaign from France. Tasty is the word we chose for cheddar.

InVictoria there are a number of builders that will biuld a new home in huge factories and deliver it onsite for you..house goes up and is connected to facilities in a couple of weeks...no weather problems to hold them up

Scotland is a beautiful place and I think of it as God,s Other Country however i would rather live here despite floods fires droughts snakes crocs and spiders etc etc My Grandfather came here in 1911 from The Kingdom of Fife and never went back like many other Scots. It has been said that the Britain sent their convicts to Paradise, Visit any Sydney Beach and see how true those words are. Cheers............btw the guy with the whiskers is called Bogan here.

This is not only Queensland, it’s a great idea. Last year a house just up the road was moved, and Lo and behold, a bigger one appeared some months later. Looks great too. NSW. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

not so much these days but usually people buy am ols queenslander and while they sort land they store house usually ALWAYS about 5 ft to 8 if your in a flood prone area

Best Bathurst finish, two XC Cobra’s side by side 1, 2. Staged but still a classic look.

"With a government like that, who needs terrorists?" is a line that never gets old.

i do the sour cream and sweet chili, very good

But what?! 😂 I live in Australia but I’m from NZ and it’s weird when they say but at the end. I don’t find it that common though.

He wasn't wrong about 20 years hence...have you seen the state of Melbourne's CBD?

Billy Connolly is a fantastic entertainer. And what he says about the wildlife is true. But he only covered a small amount of wildlife. In the far North, there are cricodiles. Cassowary birds that can rip your guts out as soon as look at you. Red back spiders that are not that large, but they have a nasty bite. Then there are the snakes, a Dearh Adder may only be small, but it will envenomate every single time it bites. Taipans are also venomous. But Western Australia is now a place I call home. So, I am aware of these things. I even completed a snake handlers course some years ago.

Not every child.

I worry about my daughter living in Scotland. Australia takes better care of the elderly and those with disability. As a Uk citizen would get free health care. We have a reciprocal deal with British NHS

We were glued to the tv for the whole series being a family who enjoyed sailing🎉🎉 thanks for the memory

He still holds the Guinness world record for skulling a yard glass of beer in 11 seconds. He supposedly achieved this while at Oxford, not long after Guinness stopped measuring the record.

Loved our Bob, we’ll never see the likes of him again in this country 😢

Shaun Macallef is a comic genius. Funny AF

I worked for a bit moving houses from Woomera....hard yacka & f#ckin hot!!!

OMG you are in malaysia - just bloody visit US ! it onlya 40 hr drive !

the house im currently living in is 70 something to 80 years old and got here on the back of a truck that was about 40 years ago now i was not alive to see it but i did see plenty of houses and demountable's being moved around to schools and land blocks in Armadale Western Australia where i grew up in the late 80s early 90s

I love you like Shaun Micallef ….he’s a lawyer irl.

Murray river!!!!!!

Traditional Queenslander, because of the tropical humidity weather- best houses for here. Used to drive past the spot he was at weekly - often saw a house I would like. They sometimes would need to cut them in half to travel on the roads

If I hear Mackury island one more time from a septics mouth it will be the last noise that comes out of it.For all the beauty of the English language and origin's you lot are beyond the pale.Do you not no how to pronounce Q? bet you a Quarter you don't.

Shaun is a legend here in Australia! We love him!

That's comedy gold Some would be mad as hell, but 🤷

Milo. The true of king of Australia 🇦🇺 A million milo,s on the east coast of Australia. I can assure you! 😂😅😊

Barramundi is great but pronounced like Monday not moonday

There is eucalyptus oil in the gum trees, that’s why they burn so well.

The place he visited is in Burpengary, Queensland. There are a few removal house businesses in the area (or they may be extensions of the same business) They'll buy the house for just a couple of thousand dollars and sell them on for a profit. It's a right bugger to get stuck behind one of the trucks on the highway. You can't over take, they have to stop and remove street signs so they can get past them, then put the signs back up. They only move the houses between midnight and dawn, so as to create the least disturbance to other road users.

all of my nieces and nephews have started swiming lessons around 7-8months old.

Been in Australian most of my life, Iv'e never said "But" at the end of a sentence, thats pretty bogan.

I've lived my life in SA so I am not into Queensland homes, but I would imagine they have it on stilts because of the flooding that takes place up there. They have cyclones and floods, mainly in Queensland, and a bit of it down in New South Wales. We don't get flooding or cyclones down south in Adelaide. Because of flooding, people like to put their homes up high so the water flows underneath and doesn't damage the floors. I would say it is pretty secure with steel rods, obviously not wooden poles in the ground. The rods would be cemented and they'd do something to ensure they don't shift in heavy flooding.

Moving back to Hobart next year after 40 years in Melbourne. Can’t wait!

Not only do they do that in Australia but we do that in New Zealand as well. Usually houses that size are cut in half to transport. You should see the hi-tech trailers they use.

It's Your ABC! - Comments are turned off.

I live just up the road from that yard Billy was in & yes they still do those house removels & there's another two or three in the same area, but it's done all over Oz

Chinese was b4 all them an only reason the British came because they couldn't beat America

Australia isnow at a new place and it might be necessary to bring back Gun ownership. I never thought I would say that but when children and new immigrants can destroy shop owners through massive theft without consequence then the Country is now BROKEN.

yes there are a few companies that sell them for cheaper, than building from scratch....

Even though I know how to swim, I also know how dangerous the ocean can be and I probably wouldn’t swim at Bondi. Blows my mind when people who can’t swim just get in the water.

I started swimming lessons when I was two years old. My partner had surfing and ocean swimming studies in his curriculum in WA Australia. Our daughter started swimming lessons (water familiarisation) at 4 months at a specific baby swim school which are becoming more and more common here.

My sister and I were at that concert. Lol. And at every other concert that he toured with after that. John Farnham isn't just a consummate performer, he's an Aussie icon who is loved, nation-wide. I don't know that he's ever put out a bad or so-so song.. they're all great, for one reason or another. 'Age of Reason', 'Please Don't Ask Me', 'Angels', 'That's Freedom'. Can't go wrong.

You really MUST view the video of when Billy met Pamela on Australian TV. The interaction was so funny. 🇦🇺

If you haven't already listened.. 'I am Australian' by the Seekers. As a proud Australian, I believe that this should be our National Anthem. It says so much more about us than 'our home is girt by sea'. Yak. Just quietly.

Back before the crazies were put in charge of the asylum.

The seasons are simple perhaps in other states, but not in Victoria. We have 4 seasons in a day. Hello from Melbourne 🌪☀️⛈️🌤🌨

People will occasionally give these houses away. Its cheaper to let someone else pay for it to be moved than it is to have it demolished yourself.

Billy has 2 bestselling books out, I've almost read one and about to start the other, you should read them, he's brilliant.

Qlder here, its very normal. Entire suburbs are made up of these houses, like in Bluey (see Bardon, Ashgrove, Paddington etc) and thankfully lots are saved from being demolished
