We do spend a lot of time on the roads - if ur not in a capital city public transport is very inconvenient and something non existent so we spend a lit of time driving but mostly i think income would be a major factor. Some people on minimum wage will have a dash cam - they are quite common & very useful for sorting out car insurance claims quickly. Definately handy to have dash cam footage - and for how much full comprehensive insurance can be a $200 dash cam can take the stress out insurance claims.

Ryan, I told you this on another video, but I don’t think you read the comments. The creature that has killed more Australians than any other is “THE HORSE.” 77 people were killed by horses between 2008 and 2017. The next biggest killer was cows, and for both of them these were mainly accidents on rural properties. As an older guy, I’ve been in the bush, the deserts, and the cities and never been bitten by anything. As for the beaches, the drama queen talking doesn’t tell you that most of the dangerous sea creatures are found at the northern end of Australia. Go to the beach in Melbourne or Sydney for example, you won’t find many sharks around. Popular beaches also have warning systems in case the odd shark does try to come close. More than 50 years of swimming in beaches and I’m still alive. If you want to laugh your head off, search for, “Issak Butterfield, 10 reasons not to visit Australia.” This crazy Aussie goes nuts over an English video, putting Australia down.

Some stores in WA, SA OR QLD cannot open on Sundays or most public holidays. In other states stores can open when they want, and they choose to open those hours.

Perth is the most isolated in the world! My home. I like it being remote and quiet. You should react to footage of the 2020 bushfires. Part of the reason the Californian bushfires were so bad is that they had planted eucalyptus trees - originally from Australia. Due to the eucalyptus oil in the leaves and tree, the trees are not only flammable, but they EXPLODE. There's also some true Aussies who survived through the bushfires that didn't take kindly to our ex-Prime Minister turning up for a photoshoot.

I love that you don't "Ham up" your reactions to things. Just genuine responses and commentary. Kudos. I think the mental health one is a bit of a bum steer though. It's true there is a shortage of mental health professionals since the immense impact of Covid, but the system is not too bad. If you go to your GP and tell them you're struggling with mental health, they will do a care plan with you which allows up to 6 visits a year with a mental health professional at near or no cost. This is part of Australia's great (admittedly waned under the libs) health care system. Yes, the ratio of people suffering from mental issues is bad but, like you said, I imagine this would be similar, if not worse, in many other countries.

[@Kalani_Saiko]

I am an aussie and most of us have never been out of the country, but much like other places we do have other states we can travel to. I come from a rural area in the bush but have travelled through parts of the outback, rainforests and the coast and I've only been to three states (including my own). One thing that I must warn, however is not to underestimate the size of the continent. I have heard of tourists that have tried to drive from one end to the other expecting it to only take a few hours, that is a huge mistake. Also, despite the large distance between our capital cities, there are quite a few smaller cities here and there, particularly in Victoria and NSW, not to mention the towns (cities are not the only signs of civilisation lmao). A lot of these 'facts' are quite questionable. Unless you live in the middle of the outback, you're usually not that isolated from other people.

The view as I enter the room, of The Opera House there directly across and in front of me, and Cruise Ships or historical sailing ships berthed to my right, is breathtaking, and worth the $2400 a night to stay. I recommend it as the most beautiful place in Sydney, to chill and appreciate the view.

Not in the cities. We all can swim in the beaches 😂. We snakes that can kill. You guys do to. We are a very multi cultural country. Pretty sure the ability to get a drivers licence when you can’t read or write English doesn’t help. If they bother to get a licence. Houses in the heart of the city is one thing. But houses in the suburbs are not a million dollars. I’m not sure how accurate the times of closing he talks about are accurate. Mental health - that’s a GLOBAL problem.

to answer ur question going in the ocean in a popular beach is medium dangerous, not because of the animals. The main things is that a lot of tourists who don't know how to swim will underestimate the ocean and go in and drown, there are also rip tides and sand bars. Anyways to look out just always go to a beach with lifeguards and stay in the flags. If there are jellyfish or other animals signs will be up. Quick tip is that if the flags are facing inwards there r probs gonna be jellyfish. I wouldn't say there are sharks, like if u go to bondi im 99.9 percent sure there aint gonna be a shark. Although once I went to Terrigal beach in the central coast and I didn't see it but apparently someone spotted a baby shark. But the lifeguards put up signs and no one was hurt. Skin cancer is def a big thing here but that's why it's such a big necessity to wear sunscreen and it is everywhere. Australian sunscreen not american cause australian sunscreen is stronger. Dangerous animals? I would say the same amount as america. In Sydney, esp in summer you'll probably get cockroaches, daddy long leg spiders, or huntsmen spiders. Never seen a snake. It really isn't that bad here, it's just that we also have different native animals then America and a bunch of them can hurt u, which then tells everyone else that Australia is dangerous. Don't quote me but I'm pretty sure we don't have tarantulas, scorpions, or cayotes here. At least there very rare.

As an Anglo-American (born UK, lived in UK/USA) who has lived in Oz for 25 years, here's my opinion (for whatever it's worth) 10. Heat? I gets hot in the US also. Bushfires? The US gets wildfires also. I live in Brisbane and the weather is great. Over the year the temp ranges from 15-20°C to 25-30°C in the daytime most of the time. 9. Isolated. It is very far from everywhere, but even in the US going to Europe is far. And if you want to go to Asia it's even farther. 8. Time zones aren't that bad (my fam is in the USA/Europe). Organising Zoom calls with family is a little tricky, but you get there. 7. My internet in Brisbane is not bad (no lag/latency issues, no buffering and not that pricey $80pcm - unlimited) 6. There are dangerous animals in the US too. Anyway, you do have to be careful (especially in the water), but depending on how outdoorsy you are it's not that bad. 5. Haha - Dashcam Owners Australia is very entertaining, albeit scary. But dashcam videos from other countries are often even scarier! 4. The video did explain this one pretty well. Everywhere in the world is suffering bad inflation rn. 3. I do wish some shops stayed open a little later (especially at the weekend) but I don't need to go to Big W at 3am thanks. 2. I thought our mental health services were ok (but I have no experience, so can't really comment) 1. Immigration issues? Just do what I did and marry a local! 😂

[@johnschannel449]

The three greatest myths or misconceptions Americans and Europeans have of Australia is thats its hot all the time, Australia has dangerous creatures craWLING everywhere waiting to attack you making it unsafe and AUstralia outside the cities is all flat desert or outback. Where most of the population of Australia lives along the coast it only gets hot during summer and not most of the year, in winter in can get very cold and snows in some parts of the country. Yes Australia has dangerous animals but so does the USA, people in the USA die of rattle snakes ,girzzley bears , sharks , alligators and mountian lions , the death rate in Australia from dangerous wildlife is tiny , about ten a year , more people are killed in AUstralia from falling tree braches and where most AUstralians live in cities and suburbs they never see any dangerous creatures . Lastly Australia is not all just desert , it has plenty of green countryside , green farmland and forrest and mountains

Here's a quick recap from an Australian 10:Here on the outskirts of Melbourne it is about an average of 45°c (113 °Farehenheit) mostly every year. 9:We try and stay away from people and things cost alot and to pronounce the name of Adelaide without being beaten it's ad-a-laid. 8:They also forgot to add daylight savings, some states don't do them so you could be 1-3 hours ahead of someone on the other desk of the country. 7: There's too many people online and there aren't many auzzie satellites for internet. 6:Yes but also no ,yes everything can kill you but most of these animals won't kill without provocation (drop bears do exist). 5: There aren't that many places to learn to drive and if caught learning behind the wheel it could lead to a high fine. 4: They were using American money conversion converting it to auzzie its 100 dollars. 3:suns down blinds down. 1:We don't like being around idiots, we grow to strive forward for the country's future,the citizens that is not the governments. Please never say G'Day to an Auzzie it sounds so bad or at least just say it normaly, don't try and copy us ,you won't

[@roguechevelle]

This is exactly what I was thinking about watching this poorly done video. I live in a very small town in north Florida (even though it's a tourist state my area is not typically a destination area compared to the south end of the state) I have seen several Australians, British, Germans, and more visiting my small town in the last few weeks. Meanwhile most people I know including myself have never been outside the country and don't even own a passport because I never have the vacation time to do so, I only get 5 business days off a year and they aren't even paid days (and don't even get me started on sick days, I get 3 excused sick days with no pay a year meaning if I catch pneumonia I could lose my job because employers can fire you at will here. Covid is the only time my job has given more excused days with pay but that was only in 2020) . One week off is not enough to enjoy going to another country plus it's extremely expensive and when you have no money coming in during that time you end up struggling. So most people I work with either travel a short distance to a state nearby or stay home to spend time with their kids/family because otherwise they are always working 40hrs or more a week. I work in one of the biggest richest retail store companies in the country but they don't give paid vacation time to anyone who isn't management (those people get 2 weeks paid vacation). If I could afford to leave this country even for a few weeks to visit elsewhere I'd do it but I need to keep my job to keep my home so yeah haven't gone on an actual vacation in 8 years.

The internet issue is a 'You get what you pay for' most of the time. There are still dodgy connections through copper, but they are being replaced with fiber slowly. The better connections with the better providers (HFC / Fiber), don't typically have dropouts. The only time ours dropouts is when I reboot the router. The plans and speeds listed in this video are wildly inaccurate. We don't have data caps. The highest tier may have a cap dependent on price and provider, but it isn't the norm anymore. Mobile (cell) phones do still have data caps. The bigger issue is most retailers over-selling bandwidth. There are a few providers that do make sure their bandwidth blocks are adequate, but they are also the most expensive providers. We pay $85 AUD a month for a 100/40 connection that is rock solid. $120 for a 1000/50. Our upload speeds are shit. Business plans can get 1000/1000 (gigabit symmetrical) through the same connections. This issue of speed tiers is controlled by the NBN here, which wholesales to retailers. They set the allowed down/up speed tiers and retailers can't change them.
