I thought (electric) kettles were a normal staple in homes, I didn't even think those whistle kettles still existed

[@tomfrazier2195]

Electric kettles were popular in the States in the 1950s.

[@gentlepersuader]

Part of the problem is the US operates on 110V/120V mains which makes boiling a kettle via electricity take twice as long as 220/240V European/Aus/NZ systems utilising the same current draw.

tea is not nearly as big a deal in the states as it is in oz so that's probably why most ppl. never bothered switching over. you can get electrics in the states but alot of people still use the whistlers.

[@shanewatson2491]

One thing that might make them less popular in the US, a 2000w kettle draws about 8 amps on Aus 240volts, but would draw about 18 amps on the US 110volts. Thats a heavy duty load for a domestic power point and cord.

Australians didn't want this NBN. Our centre-left party introduced a massive overhaul of the Australian internet infrastructure that would have been cutting edge, but we had an election and the balance of power changed to the conservative party. They cooked up this version of the NBN which is both worse and somehow also more expensive than the original plan purely so that the now opposition party couldn't take credit for a popular, useful and effective infrastructure project once it was completed. We have expensive, shitty internet that no-one asked for because of political spite.

Best way to use the dryer is to hang the clothes till _almost_ dry then finish them off in the dryer so they're nice and soft... also, it kills any little bities that might've crawled in them.

[@TrailBlazer65]

I got connected to the National Broadband Network before the Coalition Government took office and sabotaged the project. Its still slower than North America and Western Europe but it was a lot faster than what we had before. When the NBN was being rolled out as intended under Labor, you got fibre optic cables direct to your home. Now, as I understand it, to cut costs, all they do is install fibre optic on streets and have the traditional copper wire linking it to your house which almost defeats the purpose of the NBN in the first place.

[@pilot1721]

The fibre to the houses was only going to be for more metropolition areas if you lived outside of any town you were gonna be stuck on satellite

Saying that you can't own a beach in Australia isn't 100% true. In Darwin the tourist attraction at the beach at Doctor's Gully, where you pay money to a former NT Chief Minister, who owns and controls access to the beach thanks to shady arrangements, for the privilege of wading ankle deep into seawater and feeding the fish stale bread.. So yeah, even in Australia there are private beaches.

[@rosepedler3061]

Ash, I have enjoyed these videos on US/Australian differences. I have found them to be informative and respectful, so thank you for that. I first learned from some US online friends about the absence of electric kettles in US homes. I can barely believe that, when an electric kettle is cheap and quick and so convenient. And given you are living on the east coast of Australia, there are differences in word usage from state to state. In South Aus, we never say ambo, or avo (who the hell thought that a good idea????) Possibly the only shortened word we have adopted is barbie for barbeque. Oh, and being a long way geographically from the rest of the world is a massive advantage IMO. We've been free to develop our own unique identity.

Great review Ashley! I agree with everything you said. A few things missed out but generally pretty accurate. Re. sport you missed AFL (Australian rules football). Most people in Australia, at least on the West Coast, don't have clothes dryers due to 300 out of 365 days of sunshine.

[@timothyjames9768]

We don't have the clothes line because electricity is (now) expensive. we have clothes lines because there is the sun to dry the clothes. All we have done here is keep the tradition going of hanging your clothes out to dry as has been the process over the centuries. Depending on where you live, for 80% of the year you can hang your clothes out and have then dry in half the time of an electric dryer. However glad you have also come the enlightenment of fresh air dried clothes:) Considering WiFi was invented in Australia, we unfortunately decided to follow the America philosophy of capitalism( no Im not socialist) by selling off and opening the telephone system to market forces. We went from one of the best and progressive telephone systems in the world to one of the worst. NBN is an attempt to bring back some control, but it is still the private sector effecting the price. I agree with you, its very frustrating.

I lived in Australia in 1970 came over with my family when I was 16 and stayed 10 years. I love Australia. I love having cups of tea with friends, the food, the beaches, double decker busses. I hiked all over and never saw a snake or spider but there was a snake in my moms bathroom (poisonous one) at Whale Beach on Bynya Road and I had a funnel web in my bathroom one time. Other than that no bugs. (flies of course). Swam everyday even in the winter. Coming from San Francisco beaches are cold. I was lucky I have never been stung by a jellyfish. For the amount of people who live in Oz the shark attacks are really not that many. They have fantastic surf clubs and good looking life savers, sky planes, nets and shark alarms. I lived mainly between Palm Beach and Manly and shared a flat in Seaforth. I love the brick homes. I miss fish and chips on the beach and shopping with my basket to the butchers, fruit market and bakery. It was very personal and charming. I hope to come back some day. My mom was born there and lived on a Cattle Station then moved to Sydney when she got older. I love Sydney just like I love San Francisco. They call them sister cities.

Why use dryers and use electricity when you have the sun? We do have dryers and really depends on where you live for example Tasmania. In the northern parts of Australia, clothes are dried in less than 1/2 hour in the sun on the clothes line. Hills Hoist is an adjustable clothes line - but as a child I would use it as a swing....any Australian who had a Hills Hoist in the back yard would know what I mean.

10-30 min away is just down the road you you realise that when you live 2-4 hours from any real shops or you rely on food and mail deliveries.

Stucco is quite commonly used on you American homes but Australian homes are more commonly rendered. The toilets are different. Every home in australia does have a clothes dryer but we choose to hang them. The Mexican food in Australia is totally different than the Mexican food in America.

i like a good electric kettle but there is something charming about the old "whistler"

[@alanwhite7562]

My wife and I don't use a kettle. We use an electric urn (8ltr). I drink coffee and my wife drinks tea, and we use about 7 ltrs a day between us.

I don't think you're talking about this kind of music but if you like aussie music you should try NEWI BOYS, they are from Newcastle. In particular Newi Boys -weekdays-

Great video, thanks! But, just one tiny little point about crocs. You don't have to bother them to get attacked. You go to the water's edge on a river and you don't see the croc waiting for a feed. Not until it explodes out of the water and clamps its jaws around you. But there are signs in places like that and it's usually drunk locals who don't care or tourists who don't understand what the signs say.
