Yep Australia has the largest number of Arabian Camels in the world

[@iantonkin1143]

The early camels were primarily used to transport goods from the various ports to inland towns and areas as they could handle the dry conditions better than horses and bullocks. The introduction of camels required persons used to handling them so in the late 1800s to the early 1900s approx 3000 cameleers were brought into Australia from India, Bombay and the Afghanistan areas. The construction of the railway line from Port Augusta to Alice Springs relied very much on the camel trains bringing the materials and the cameleers were referred to as Ghans. No doubt a derogatory term 100 years ago but now the name of the Adelaide to Darwin train service "The Ghan." The camels being no longer required many were let loose and they have bred like rabbits and as pointed out are disease free and exported to Saudi Arabia as they are some of the most purest bred. Pity we can't export the rabbits and foxes.

The reason the coast along Perth is called the sunset coast is because for a majority of Australians from the East who travel there see, for the first time, the sun set into the sea, For a majority of the population the sun rising from the sea is the norm, I remember the first time I saw it I was fascinated so I remained to see it disappear below the horizon of the sea,

[@suzanne5807]

I've always lived in Perth, and seen the sum set over the sea many times. But when I had my only trip over east as an adult (I went with my mum when I was 4) I went to see the sun rise over the sea only to see a heap of clouds. The sun eventually came up, but it was a little disappointing lol

[@yvonnecaldwell6088]

Lol...funny you should say that. I live in Perth and yes it's gorgeous to go to the beach to watch the sunset...particularly on a hot summer night. Saying that, I've seen it so often it's just what is BUT, when I went to visit a friend in Qld I told her I'm making a coffee and going to sit on the beach and watch the sun rise over the water, one morning before I go back to Perth🤣 She thought I was mad, I set my alarm, got up and made a coffee and headed off (she only lived a short walk from Grasstree Beach), walk through her backyard, cut through the neighbours backyard behind her, then right across the road....I sat there in silence thinking 'how beautiful, a new day dawning'. In Perth it's the end of the day. My friend, who thought I was mad, joined me about 30 minutes later😂😂 AWESOME!! Even took photos👍👍❤️❤️😊

Phar Lap is a bone of contention and controversy. He was born and bred in Nieu Zeelund, was one of the most successful race horses in Australia, to the point where the handicapper was almost having to add a second set of saddlebags for weights.... then came the trip to race in America, and he somehow died not long after leaving quarantine? Mob hit? Now the skin is in Melbourne, the Skullitun is in Wullingtun, and the heart is in Canberra.

[@fenderfetish]

I've never hear it pronounced 'Melbun' and I live here?! Or even 'Brisbun'....

[@ianwalker5842]

Ryan, I agree, the narrator was a major disappointment, and the video was riddled with glaring errors. Anyway, while I'm here, for future reference can I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the phonetic vowel sound known as 'schwa': ə (yes, it looks like an upside down, back to front 'e'). It's a bit like a shortened, unstressed "uh" sound. The 'a' in 'again' or 'away' is a schwa: i.e. 'əgen', 'əway'. Schwa is the sound used to correctly pronounce the second syllable of Melbourne or Brisbane, i.e. 'Melbən', 'Brisbən'. This is so much more accurate than saying it's like "Melbin" or "Melbun", which can result in the wrong sounds entirely. Schwa is definitely your friend when trying to get these and many other Aussie pronunciations right.

[@brendonsmith9100]

The castle in Tasmania is part of the Port Arthur penal settlement. A very harsh prison . Also on the Tasman Peninsular. The nearest thing we have to a castle is Government house in Hobart, (The governor's residence)

Cottesloe beach, Perth. Those Kangaroo statues are in the CBD at the supreme court gardens, not in Kings Park. Australia has more camels than the rest of the world, combined. We actually export them to the middle east (because our camels are the best for camel racing). Camels were used to cross the interior deserts and then let loose when they were no longer needed. Feral camels occasionally ride into remote towns in herds and destroy the place (its a habit they have). The cameleers were brought from Afghanstan in the 1800s, which is why the famour train from Adelaide to Darwin is called the 'Ghan. Dont ever ride one - its the most uncomfortable transport ever and it kills your nuts.

The big fish is a Groper, it is one of the largest bony fish on the planet, and the most widely-distributed of the Grouper species. Given its impressive reputation, it’s no surprise that this mighty fish is the aquatic emblem of Queensland, Australia. Scientists know that Queensland Gropers/Giant Groupers grow to 2.7 m (close to 9’) in size and can easily weigh over 400 kg (880 lbs). On average, these fish weigh 70-200 kg and measure 1-2m in length, but they’re still the biggest and baddest fish on the reef! They even eat other large fish and small Sharks, but they’re favorite food is Crayfish (Lobster). They are extremely inquisitive, and while it is now discouraged to feed them by cutting up urchins, they still will approach divers as if expecting to be fed. Their lifespan is said to be up to 35 years according to some sources, longer according to others.

Hey Ryan, another great reaction. to give you some info on the camels in Oz, they were bought over to Oz over a hundred years ago, and some were let loose in the outback. They thrived, and now we export most of the middle eastern camel herds. Please do this as a reaction to WA. It's my home and one of the sunniest places in the world. We are far from most of the world but have a great state and its supper layer back. Keep up the good work. 😊

[@cgkennedy]

The reason the camels are exported to the Middle East is because they aren't full of disease.

[@ozzywill9180]

@@cgkennedy and there is that as well

[@nataliecarrington2550]

As for how the camels got there: they were imported from British India and Afghanistan during the 19th century for transport and construction during the colonisation of the central and western parts of Australia, and many were released into the wild after motorised transport replaced the use of camels in the early 20th century, resulting in a fast-growing feral population.

[@mikeythehat6693]

Australia has one of the largest feral Camel populations in the world. Get this, we sell Camels to Saudi Arabia, no joke. They were brought here by Afghan traders and explorers in the 19th century and when train lines were built, the Camels were just set free, Camels are sort of in their element in the Outback, so they proliferated. There's no rock climbing on Uluru or Kata-Tjuta, they are sacred sights to the Indigenous people of the area. So, over recent years, more respect is given to this idea.

St Kilda Beach is mainly used by people living in and near city centre, and most likely tourists in city hotels that are not travelling far. The remaining beaches stretching over 50 km all the way down the eastern side of Port Philip Bay, and also many ocean beaches outside the bay would be destinations for most Melbourne area residents

Camels were imported from Afghanistan in the 1800's. they were used to ship goods around the outback, they were more able to survive the conditions than horses. We have a passenger train that travels from Adelaide to Darwin (2900 kilometres) It is the world's longest passenger train sometimes reaching a kilometre in length (42 passenger coaches long) When the train arrived the camels were let loose to roam the outback, apparently we have more camels than the middle east.

Ryan, it's ok, just sleep needed! 😌 That cliff highway goes into Wollongong, it's a fabulous big town just out of Sydney with beaches, University, great lifestyle! Great Barrier Reef, you need to scuba dive and spend the day! Groper, Dolphins, sweet! Melbourne, it's actually quite unpleasant right now, busy and loud, some racial tensions! St Kilda, ok! Brisbane, very humid, big crowd of units around an ugly river! Blue Mountains is incredible, absolute must see! (Take a guide) Tassie 💓, is absolutely incredible, walk or ride a bike in Tasmania and your lungs will be young again, the food is the freshest, the air is fresh, life is fresh!
