The feral cat situation is horrible here, there isn't any shelters even accepting strays because there isn't any resources or room, but people still don't get them desexed, it's a human problem, perpetuated by poor human behaviour. I've just adopted a kitten that was either going to turn feral, be wedge tail eagle food, or be euthanised, and she is amazing, and because she's been given a good home, been desexed, and kept in at night, she'll never be able to kill native wildlife indiscriminately, and unchecked! People are idiots, domestic cats are still cats, they are the perfect hunters, and Australia has vulnerable ecosystems that are perfect for feral cats, dogs and pigs to breed and destroy with no competition or predators

I watched the special ‘Aunty Jack show’ on a Black and White Tv on the night that colour tv started here. Obviously we couldn’t see the colour on the lower half, but we could tell that the bottom part was different. We didn’t get a colour tv for some time, but it but it was years before we saw that segment repeated and could fully appreciate it. Grahame Bond played Aunty Jack who wore a boxing glove, Rory O’Donoghue (RIP)played Thin Arthur in the black and white stripes , and Garry McDonald was Kid Eager here, but became more famous for another character Norman Gunston

[@tomthebadasscat]

I remember watching on a black and white as well and it took us a long time to convince Dad he needed a colour TV. What finally swayed was our uncle got one, so he had to keep up with the Jones. I can't believe no one has said Aunty Jack's favourite line, "I'll rip your bloody arms off!" 🤣😂

[@Magalie1705]

Whitehaven is really like this.. there are no filters required when you take photos. I was sitting on the beach there and because of the whiteness of the sand I got sunburnt on the underside my legs because of the sun reflecting on that sand.

[@waza987]

The water curtain stop signs were put in place because too many over height trucks were trying to drive into tunnels, even ignoring the sign above the tunnel entrance.

[@edwardfletcher7790]

It is absolutely GENIUS 👍

[@purpledragon259]

Regarding our feral cats. Cats may have arrived in Australia as early a the 17th century, although it is believed that European settlers brought them out as pets during the late 18th century. Cats were also deliberately released into the wild during the 19th century to control rabbits and mice. So they've had a long time to evolve and spread.

[@caltravels9454]

Esperance and other places on the South coast WA has similar sand, mostly quartz, it is so clean and fine local jewelers use it to polish their jewelry. because of the high quartz content there is next to no silt so the water stays crystal clear, and it squeaks when you walk on it.

[@bobboberson2571]

[@vincemorgan9640]

I was engaged for a week to skipper a sailing yacht for some vacationers a while back. They wanted to go to Whitehaven Beach, amongst other places. It is exactly as it is in the picture, breathtaking. You will never see sand that pure and white anywhere else in the world. Moments after we anchored, about 30 meters offshore, my charges leapt gleefully into that astonishing water. After a few minutes, noticing that I was not about to join them, they inquired as to why. I asked the eldest one at what distance he would see anything approaching from beneath the water, if he was even looking. They thought I was being ridiculous, but I stayed high and dry, and vigilant. That evening two of them threw a line in and as one was fighting to land a fish there was an almighty bang! The boat (13 mtrs) lurched and simultaneously the helm spun rapidly until the rudder was hard over. A shark had targeted the struggling fish and ran headlong into the rudder. About 3 or 4 minutes later a fin appeared off the stern, and it was more than large enough to ruin a swimmers day. The sunrise (Shorncliffe, east coast) is real, though not usually quite as stunning as it is in that picture. I live a few minutes from there and have spent a great many evenings fishing off that pier. If you look to the right of it, near the horizon you can see the posts of the old shark-barrier. I swam there many times as a kid. Thank you for a great video.

I was on a small boutique cruise ship through the Whitsunday Islands, only a few people aboard that time. We saw this same scene and it looks just like the photos. We anchored off shore for the night and dinner, as no one is allowed on the island at night! Next morning the crew had been to the beach to set up breakfast before ferrying us to shore for swims and breakfast. When all the day trippers started arriving in their sea planes and chartered boats, we sailed off to Black Pearl Bay to snorkel. One of the best trips in all my travels overseas and Australia. Not to miss.

[@libbypeace68]

Wow, that sounds fantastic! I've been to the Whitsunday Islands in the 80s as a teenager on a family caravan holiday so we didn't get to do any tours or anything, but it is such a stunning part of Australia. I have to say I am envious of your experience 🙂

[@Reefsider-fq4sk]

I spent a couple of years up there and visited Whitehaven a few times. Nothing can be left on the beach, any rubbish has to be picked up and taken with you when you leave. It remains pristine all the time with few people there at the same time so never croweded like a regular beach. It's utterly stunning.

[@NomadUniverse]

Most of us live on the coast or barely inland. It's a common misconception that everything here is dangerous, but you really have to get out into the sticks to find the danger. In suburbia, we get redback spiders, the odd black or brown snake, maybe a funnel web spider, but rarely. Its been decades since anyone died from a spider, thanks to solid antivenom programs and procedures (although mixed accounts say someone was killed by a redback in 2016), and less than 30 snake deaths in the last 75 years, largely due to the remoteness of the victims. From 2000 - 2013 there were 12,000 hospitalisations for spider bites, and zero deaths. Bees and wasps have killed more people, as the same number of hospitalisations in the same time period resulted in 25 deaths, killing 8x the number marine animals did in the same time frame. Shark attacks are rare here too, despite the myths. Since 1791 (not 1971) there's been 1045 attacks and 236 of those have resulted in death. An average of only 0.98 per year, but rates have been well below average for decades thanks to better beach monitoring and protection at recreational areas.

[@SalisburyKarateClub]

We do get sunsets (and sunrises) like that occasionally. We see the moon upside down, nah. We see it the correct way, it's the Northern hemisphere that see it up side down.

Why is it so important to tell people the Earth is round? Round in their mind is a small curved shape. We don't have any flatter things in nature than the surfaces of large gravitationally-bound bodies. I believe in topology. A sphere with its point removed is equivalent to a plane. So someone with a point experiences a plane, a pointless observer experiences a sphere.

I might add that Jimmy Barns had just released his 'Soul Deep'album, so we kept the stereo load enough so we could enjoy it on the beach. We were all alone until a helicopter arrived with two customer's were served champagne by the pilot wearing a top hat and tails and had provided a table and chairs for the couple which was placed on the waters edge so everyone could keep their feet wet. This was Xmas time. And North Qld is hot in Summer. Staying wet is a must. If you want to experience the Whitsundays and don't have a fortune to splash, you can easily get work on Hamilton Island, which is the closest island to Whitehaven Beach and the best island to work on. Stay for about 12 weeks and use your days off to go waterskiing with the instructors who usually take you over to Whitsunday Island. Sunrise is best. A large catamaran takes tourists out to the reef where you can snorkel or dive if you're profficiant. Early morning fishing charters will show you where the sailfish are. The islands are not affected by the boxjelly fish, so you can swim all year around. But if you are on the main land you can't swim in summer unless you wear stockings and then you still have to watch for Crocs. The water is luke warm all year. No, sorry, in summer the water is hot. But for nine months, it will cool you down. It truely is very special. If you time it right you can then go to the ski feilds for Winter work. Aussies have lots of holidays and most dont take life too seriously. You will enjoy yourself here. Thanks for your channel. Your Aussie accent is getting real good 👍

There was one feral cat shot at Dubbo NSW & it weighed in at 66lbs at the time.

I live close to Whitehaven Beach. It’s all protected and you can only get there by boat. Before getting on the boat to go back to mainland you are required to brush off any sand (silica) because it’s illegal to take any of it away. It feels different to sand - a lot finer and softer in handfuls but harder than sand to walk on- almost like pure white ground up glass. It’s spectacular. The pictures don’t do it justice.

With the view of the moon does that mean you have to hung up side down to see the man's face in the northern hemisphere?

Feral cats in the interior have been getting bigger and bigger, especially the males, because they have to roam over a big area for food and mates. Also depending on what area they come from, they are breeding out to specific colours. For instance, in forested and lightly aforested areas, they are mostly grey tabbies. In the red soil country in the center, they are all gingers, mostly because the hawks can pick out the kittens of other colours more easily than they can gingers.

when I was a kid, a long long time ago, a feral cat wandered onto our yard, and stayed. He was very very big. He had a lovely nature though, and was not a danger to us. His name was scrubby, because he came out of the scrubland.

We got one as a kitten that my desexed female brought into us. We had to bottle feed himhe was originally so small. He grew as big as myself ,5ft 1 inch long. Looked exactly like an ocelot, best cat I ever had..I miss him so much 😢

Whitehaven Beach is in the Whitsunday Islands on the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia...

Australia is an ancient land mass. The purity of the silica and the shallowness of the estuary are indicative of age. Another example is the Perth Canyon, an underwater canyon, which was formed in the Tertiary Period (Informal division of geologic time spanning the interval between about 65.5 and 2.6 million years ago). The canyon forms part of the continental shelf and was above water when formed. It is an average of 1.5 kilometres (5,000 ft) deep and 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) across, making it similar in dimension to the Grand Canyon. It occupies an area of 2,900 square kilometres (1,100 sq mi) and ranges in depth from 700 to 4,000 metres (2,300 to 13,100 ft). It contains the world's largest plunge pool-a depression in the canyon that is 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) long, 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) across, and 300 metres (980 ft) deep. The canyon is considered "a perfect spot" for deep sea fishing. The Australian Navy also uses it for submarine training.

The stop sign is triggered by two things (that I know of, at least), an accident in the tunnel, or if a truck has ignored all the minimum height warnings

13:00 - Ex South African living in New Zealand here. Sorry mate. Have to correct you on that one. We see the moon upright. It is you that see it upside down. 😎 Ha ha, but in all honesty. I find it so weird if we watch a live sport event in, say Europe or somewhere, and they show a nice full moon. It just looks weird!"

I've been to whitehaven beach ..there's a look-out on the point at the bottom of the pic and you can usually see rays swimming there

LOLOLOL.... don't forget to mention the Selenocosmia crassipes (synonym Phlogius crassipes), also known as the "Queensland whistling tarantula", "barking spider" or "bird-eating tarantula" is a species of tarantula native to the east coast of Queensland, Australia. The name "whistling tarantula" comes from its ability to produce a hissing noise when provoked.... don't forget that one... ^_^
