Oz is the greatest place in the world I came as a 10-year-old boy in 1950.I am now 84 I served for 27 years in the Army I am a war veteran

You are in Perth. The worst public transport system in any Australian capital city.😊

Hi Brooke and welcome. Not ALL Alcohol is Expensive here! Beer and Spirits are Heavily Taxed; WINE is NOT! And we Make a SH*T ton of wines here. I can buy two bottles of 13% alc wine for $7 at ALDI, you can get NICE wines from $5 a bottle. *Hic!* LOL

Government Smart? Yeah nah.

Ive heard a few Americans talking about the switches on our electrical outlets being some kind of power saving device - they are for safety, not efficiency.

This video aged about as well as a prawn in the sun.. 😬😆

The electrical outlet thing is a safety thing. We don't want anyone electrocuting themselves.

Great Video, 🇦🇺🐨 G'day from the land Down Under! Australia isn't just a country; it's a feeling, a lifestyle, and a whole lot of love. From the golden beaches to the outback's rugged beauty, every inch of this place is magic. Let's spread love and appreciation for this amazing country! 🌏❤ #AustraliaLove

Live in Austrailia or US same thing

We need updates, I'm so invested now =\

Looks like New Zealand 🇳🇿 place

G'day Brooke! Thank you for sharing your kind views of Australia! As a Sydneysider I want to ask you have you visited the Sydney Opera House? If not, put that on your bucket list. Other Sydney places to visit are Darling Harbour, Art Gallery of NSW, Botanical Gardens & I also recommend Circular Quay, with a ferry ride to Manly.

I enjoyed watching your first interactions with Perth. Please don't take this the wrong way but I had to smile when you showed off being able to hide your valuables. I've lived here the majority of my life and I've never known anyone having to 'hide' anything here. We have low crime rate. Hope life finds you well. Where ever you are.

Love this video Brook would love to see more

i'm yankee but i lived in wollongong, nsw with a british gf for 2 1/2 years. i woud definitely say american females seem to blend in in oz more easily than american males. alot of it sometimes is basic stupid machismo. australia is saturated with americana even their super heroes have american accents. they absorb it like water and yet they resent it at the same time. certainly not everybody and not all the time but 4 different times somebody wanted to fight me because of my accent. that aside i love oz and love ozzies australia is a great country but sometimes machismo intervenes on one's happiness. love oz though fer sure but they can be really really bad drunks. that aside yankees and aussies are very much alike in terms of being multi cultural where people had to be polite simply to survive they had to cooperate. not true in every country by any means.

Cigarettes and alcohol taxes are high because they contribute to many expenses on the universal health system. McDonalds is Maccas.

I thought MacDonald was maccas not macco

Another American yay :) I no it's 4 years old this video just so happy to see this thank you

Jesus Christ is coming soon i want you to repent of your sins and follow Jesus for you to be save give your life to your creator Jesus so you can make Heaven please stop doing bad things please.

Guns are NOT illegal. However you need to get a licence to have a gun and that means you need to have a need to have one. Such as a farmer or member of a gun club or a hunter. You must be of good character and must abide by strict rules as to where and how securely your gun is stored and where seperately the ammunition is also securely stored. The licence will also be for the ownership of an appropriate weapon for the purposes for which you were given the licence.

Loved it:)

Guns aren't illegal here. We just have extremely smart gun laws. I own 3 of them myself, locked in a gun locker unless I wanna go shoot a couple bottles or something for fun.

Macca's not Maccos

good work

I really loved that Hope everything went well😊

damned great country.

I want to meet you where are you from which city

MaccOo's lol

man i love you bro

I really like the comments, and our country benefits from smart immigrants like yourself. Booze isn't really expensive. Two hours work gets the poorest worker a box of 24 beers. If you need more than a box of stubbies each week, you have a problem. 😁

If you cut star-fruit cross-wise, the slices are shaped like stars - hence the name. :)

we tip , but its only if we feel that the service was deserving of a tip.

Brisbane and Sydney transport is better then perth

Notice how all these Americans come here and the first thing they say is . Australia is everything we want America to be 🤣🤣🤣🤣🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 yeah your country is dog shit sorry but it's true yes our conservative government is extremely smart and always a step ahead. Yes Australia is actually a conservative country yet above everyone in everything. #SCOTTMORRISON2022

Americans should talk about the city they are in, and not assume it's the same everywhere in Australia. When I went to New York City, I didn't talk about "America". I talked about NY, because that was the only part of the States I saw. But so many come here and say "It's like this in Australia", when it simply isn't. For example in the above, they call swimming suits "bathers" (or whatever). All over the country they are called something else. Cossies, swimmers, togs, for example.

I like kings park in perth and so close to the city.. i lived in perth for a year and Kalgoorlie for 5yrs

More young Australians should hear this because some are whinging how bad we are. Thank you for liking us.😆

Brooke@ Don’t wait life is too short. If you got everything so clear and understand why Australia appears so expensive but it is not, then you desire to live here. Almost everyone I’ve worked who is NOT a permanent resident and has to return home, asks for help on how to stay here and people volunteer every possible option, even things that I have never even though of come to light. From one of the 29% of Aussies . P.S. Perth Is known for its not so good public transport system according to my wife’s nieces and family that live there. It’s a great place that we visited many times from here in Sydney, comeback soon. NSW in Oz

Guns are not illegal in Australia. That is a fallacy. Any law abiding citizen can apply for a gun licence and own fire arms.

You never went to Melbourne?

HAVE A GOOD ONE!!! Isn't that an ozie saying sounds like your a Sheila know chicy

Hoping you are safe & well Cheers from New South Wales

Your accent is switching i didn't think Australian accent was that strong.

2021 cigarettes $ 50 a pack of 30 cost more then pot.

Sorry Brooke, our govt, is not smart. They are control freaks. You are so lucky to have the greatest president ever in Donald Trump. He will NEVER let you down. Unlike the bunch of pedos running this country. Also, the cigarette funds do NOT go to patients of lung cancer. It goes directly into the pockets of our criminal govt. I don't know where you are getting your information from. Wages are high because everything is overpriced. Having said all that, Australian people are great and just doing our best under a broken govt. ❤

The high prices for alcohol and cigarettes are meant as a deterrent. Smoking has dropped considerably

I clicked on this vid cause I'm looking in to moving to Australia and I jumped when u said ur from VA, so am I!!! I think this vid really reaffirmed that I would love Australia

Count how meany times she says like

Guns aren’t illegal here you just have to apply for a licence.

Well I'm a 5th generation Australian and may I say what I dislike about Australia? Part of the British Empire Taxes on taxes. Eg drink's,petrol, smoke's, transport. The price of car's wow, tolls etc Cost of living Divide between the rich and poor Law's eg what you can do to your car, bike, no fireworks,helmets on push bikes and much more. It's like 1 person dies so everyone has to suffer. Minimum wage. I mean $20hr. That's around $730wk after tax and to rent on your own in a shit hole where drug's are everywhere in a unit is $320wk. If you wanted somewhere in same suburb but less drug addicts and crime than $400+wk. If you go to lower middle class $600+wk, middle class$800+wk Everything closes other than some restaurants and a big W,Coles etc here and there before 7pm. What about night owls. Less opportunity at high levels. Eg people on TV and film majority speaking are the same people year after year, decade after decade. Goes back to the growing divide between rich and poor Price of houses and unit's. I could go on but the difference between now and 1980 is enormous. Australia was once free. Now you even need to get a fishing permit😀 I know we have it good no doubt but how rich this country is we to to relax. Not make a new law everytime something happens and spread the wealth.
