[@garryellis3085]

My friend their are over 50 different species of kangaroos and wallabies. It's sad that tourists just label all kangaroos as the same species. What worries me is that this dude has never actually been to Australia. He's using other people's videos because he has mispronounced all our names. The Cassowary is critically endangered because so much of their lowland rainforest has been cleared. Without Cassowarys much of what's left will be lost because without these ancient birds 150 rainforest plants will not regenerate. 😢

[@stevefoulston]

One of the things that make Uluru even cooler is the way in which it's actually something of a land iceberg, with a gigantic 2.5 km of its mass stretching underground - that's about seven times its height above ground! Uluru's ancient mysteries begin with its geology. It was once believed to be a meteorite, but later geologists judged it a monolith - a single solid piece of 700-million-year-old arkrose, a kind of sandstone. When the sandstone contains more than 25% feldspar, it is called arkose or arkosic sandstone. Peace out.

My son went to Oz for a year after uni in 2007 and never came home. He met his wife and settled in Sydney. We go to visit them regularly and love it over there. Going for 3 weeks next Christmas and doing the coastal road trip up to the Gold Coast - really looking forward to it.

[@ianhayes5140]

The road from Sydney to Gold Coast is just the m1 motorway and bypasses nearly every town. A more interesting albeit longer route is to go via New England Highway through Muswellbrook, Tamworth, Armidale etc and when you get to Tenterfield head east to the Gold Coast.

[@peterhoz]

Uluru is the remnants of an ancient mountain range taller than the Himalayas, which has been weathered & eroded over the millennia.

[@dangermouse3619]

Yes the Cassowary can hurt or even kill you due to its big feet and claws. It's the most dangerous bird in the world. The male is the one who brings up the young and protects them. If they feel threatened or think their young are in danger they will attack and jump and use their large claws to rip you open. They ain't an aggressive bird but they sure can be if they need to be.

[@JadawinL]

Difference between Kangaroos and Wallabies. Closely related but different species. Main difference is size and habitat (yes, there's even a mid- sized model called the Wallaroo) Kangaroos are large and have long powerful legs for crossing long flat distances, they live in grasslands and plains - open areas with mainly flat terrain. Wallabies are small/medium with short legs. They live in bushlands, hills, forests, mountains. Their legs are built for agility for crossing terrain with many obstacles, they do not often live in grasslands/plains or other flat areas. Kangaroo faces look more canine/camel whereas Wallabies look a little more rodent/forest creature (in my opinion).

[@mikeyhau]

Then there is the tree kangaroo - yes a kangaroo that can climb trees! This is not an Australian pulling the visitor's leg, they are real. They are found in the rainforests of north Queensland as well as in Papua New Guinea.

[@Manofmanyhobbies86]

I'm in the UK but spent 3 weeks on the East coast down under in 2018. It's an amazing place if you ever get chance to go. Whitehaven beach in the Whitsundays was hands down the best beach I've ever been to. The sand is so pure and silica rich..they used it to make the glass for the Hubble telescope lenses. Fun fact 😂

[@Manofmanyhobbies86]

Another fun fact...the whole beach is world heritage so if you get caught taking any sand off the beach you can be fined thousands of dollars.

[@dannjp75]

It’s known as “Straddie Sand” after Stradbroke Island which is the sand bar that runs on the coast. It’s also really good for sanding driveways.. I was lucky enough to work in the Whitsundays for 2 years, epic fishing!!

Thank you for your genuine interest in our wonderful Land Down Under 😊 Yep, Australia is a huge country and very ancient. Lots to learn about and explore. Lord Howe Island is the rim of an exctinct volcano. Went there in 2007. Gorgeous place. BTW, Bondi Beach is pronounced Bond-eye (with a long i sound). Melbourne is pronounced Melb'n. Americans often get these wrong and we Aussies (pronounced Ozzies) have a good laugh about it 😅

[@miniveedub]

I love your curiosity about things so here are some interesting things for you. A fun fact about wombats, their faeces is cube shaped. It’s due to the shape of their colon and it possibly evolved so they could mark where they had been without it rolling away. Uluṟu is just the tip, more of it is underground. It was part of a range and the rest of the range eroded away to form the soil around it. People refer to it as a monolith but geologists call it an inselberg. A cassowary can do you some serious damage with the long, strong claws on its feet. The sand in the Whitsundays is not only pure white it has the tiniest grains of any sand found making it the most perfect glass making sand. NASA used it to make lenses for the Hubble telescope. Sydney and Melbourne between them have nearly 40% of Australia’s population.

[@Reneesillycar74]

There is an affectionate name for wombats - Combat Wombat. They basically have an armoured rear end (bone plates), they’re chunky & despite their looks they can run about 40km/hr (almost 25 miles). They are heavy, low to the ground & if you (or the wombat) are unlucky enough to hit one with your car, they can roll it. They’re one of my fave animals & an absolute unit ✌🏼

I went on a rail inspired trip to Oz a few years ago. Took the Indian Pacific for 2 nights from Perth to Adelaide. It crosses the Nullarbor Plain (means literally No Trees) and has a straight length of track of 328 miles. There are a few towns and the odd settlement beside the railway, not much else! Then the Ghan to Alice Springs 2 days. The locals fly rather than drive or use the train. Cheaper and quicker!

Hi Connor did you know that Australia is also home to the oldest rainforest in the world and also the oldest living culture ? The one area the video didn’t touch on which I think you would love due to your interest in geology is the Kimberley ranges. PS I forgot to say this was a beautiful video and a great reaction.

[@FredPilcher]

Uluru is indeed the tip of a giant rock - most of which is underground. It was formed when a mountain range the size of the Himalayas was erodeded over millions of years. The remains were washed down intro a depression - the finer materials into one depression and the more coarse materials into another. They were covered up over more millions of years and compressed into rock, which later wore away exposing the harder materials and eroding the softer. The larger remnants are now Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) and the finer-grained materials are now Uluru. IF that doesn't boggle your mind, you haven't been paying attention. Wallabies and kangaroos are both macropods, but there are differences. The Daubtree us the oldest rain forest on the planet. Australia is the oldest continent on the planet.

[@judileeming1589]

Australia is home to two enormous rocks, Uluṟu in the Northern Territory and Mount Augustus, also known as Burringurrah in Western Australia which is the biggest rock in the World and also considered sacred by the local Wajarri people. The “Twelve Apostles” stacks also had a formation called London Bridge which was where a land bridge had been created from an isthmus of land when the sea eroded the base of the isthmus forming an arch. Many years ago the bridge/arch fell down and people were left standing on top of a disconnected stack and had to be rescued by helicopter, thankfully they were not on top of the arch when it fell into the ocean.

[@k.vn.k]

Hi Connor. About Uluru… Around 500 million years ago, the whole area was covered in sea. Sand and mud fell to the bottom and covered the seabed. The weight of the new seabed turned the plain into rock. The sandy plain became sandstone (Uluru) while the rocky fan became conglomerate rock (Kata Tjuta). 400 million years ago, the sea disappeared. Rocks folded and tilted as the earth’s tectonic plates shifted. Kata Tjuta tilted slightly and Uluru tilted 90 degrees. Over the last 300 million years, the softer rocks eroded away, leaving the spectacular forms of Uluru and Kata Tjuta behind.

[@macman1469]

Uluru is the second biggest rock in Australia. Mt Augustus in Western Australia is considerably larger but not as picturesque. It is so large it looks like a mountain range . EDIT Our tallest trees are Mountain Ash with one called Centurion, which is over 100 meters tall ( thats over 330ft ).

[@nolajoy7759]

Yes Connor..driving between Perth and Adelaide you would cross the Nullarbor Plain (null = no, arbor = tree) . It is just as you imagine but more chance of another car coming along than a lot other outback roads. If you come to Werstern Australia, don't pronounce Esperance the way this guy does.. (Esper-ANCE) ..lol Said quickly, should sound more like "esprince". Great video though!!😊

[@taniaPBear]

I don't know, maybe we should start pronouncing it Esper-ANCE, sounds fancy. 🤣🤣🤣

[@coraliemoller3896]

There was a time when visitors could climb Ayer’s Rock (now called Uluru). I did it in 1975, before it was banned. From the top of the Rock, the surrounding land is a flat as a table in every direction, except for a nearby outcrop of rocks, known as The Olgas (Kata Tjuta). They are made of similar materials to the Rock. The land seems to be an old seabed, so the big sandstone rocks are the remnants that are still being worn down to sand.

[@peterhoz]

Perth to Adelaide, Perth to Darwin via the Kimberley, and Adelaide to Darwin via Alice Springs, all worth doing and all sealed roads do you can do in a standard car or camper. Remote, but enough traffic that you won't be stuck if you break down. You wouldn't wait more than 5min for another traveller during daylight. Binda Cliffs, Nullarbor Plain, Uluru, Coober Pedy, Broome and the Kimberley are all on those routes, as well as Wave Rock & Esperance depending on the E-W route chosen.

[@Alex.The.Lionnnnn]

Starting off with Tassie is strange. You're correct about Wombats, they also do square poos.

Uluru is also what is left of an ancient mountain range. There are remnan remnants of the range, such as the bungle bungle ranges.

[@MsOzigal]

Hiya! Loved your commentary which was informed, thoughtful and curious :) An interesting wombat fact, well two facts....that hard plate on their lower back can crush a dingoes/dogs against the roof of their burrow. Wombats also raise their young in pouches (with a difference) that face backwards. This is to prevent branches and debris harming the young as they are so low to the ground. Early settlers were alarmed at seeing the strange two headed animal wandering around!

I travelled the east coast for three months back in the early nineties and it was great fun, I would eat a dinner in a pub every night and must say the meals were fabulous and reasonably priced, I also ate loads of pie's in the daytimes which were also great. I encountered cassowarys in north Queensland in a national park drive through and felt like getting out of the car but then I saw the signs "Don't feed the cassowarys" and figured it meant the exquisite birds, I then learned that they can disembowel you with those claws lol.

It takes 2 hours to get to Lord Howe island from Sydney because they use a small plane not capable of reaching speeds as high as a standard commercial jet. It would probably take an hour to get there if a large commercial jet was used. Sydney to Auckland NZ is 3 hours flight time.

[@melissawhitfield4643]

flying to Lord Howe Island takes about 2 hours on a smaller plane (like a Dash 8) compared with 4 hours to New Zealand on a Boeing 747 or 737 - larger jetliners have a greater speed advantage but because Lord Howe Island has a very small and short runway the larger jetliners cannot land there.

Four of us in my 69 VE Valiant took just 4 days to travel the 3904 miles (6285 app kilometres) to Perth. We didn't sleep much, only 2 overnight stops but what an adventure. It's now all bitumen across the Nullabor but back then there was 320 miles of dusty dirt road. I have now travelled the Nullabor 8 times and I never get bored. There are low trees that lean to the north from the winds coming from the Southern Ocean. The Nullabor Plains is only a short part of the journey and Nullabor means treeless in Aboriginal language and that section of the Eyre Highway is just low bush, no trees. I'd the trip again tomorrow if I could. The beaches along the south east corner of WA are the best. I camped at many of them when I travelled in my Campervan. At Cape Riche I was sitting outside the van having a coldie when a Kangaroo came right up to me and low and behold, she had a joey in her pouch. I tossed her a few pieces of bread that she greatly accepted. I sent a pic of that to a friend of mine in the US and she was speechless. Great vid,
