Americans React to the TOP 10 Beautiful Destinations | Perth, Western Australia

Quay (pronounced key) is basically just another name for where boats dock to load and unload people or cargo.

[@thevannmann]

In Australia it's pronounced key but in America it's pronounced kway.

[@stevenbalekic5683]

@@thevannmann No it's not, America just changes the spelling to key, hence the Florida Keys

[@thevannmann]

@@stevenbalekic5683 Key is an older spelling but there are actually 2 other accepted pronunciations in kay and kway. Apparently kway is more popular in the southern states but overall the word quay itself is quite uncommon over there. (US) enPR: kē, IPA(key): /ki/, /keɪ/, /kweɪ/

[@stevenbalekic5683]

@@thevannmann The US spell it differently "key" (like Florida Keys) hence why quay is unusual to them...it's really not part of their spelling system.

So I’m a west Aussie born and bred, still living here and I reckon that was probably the worst top 10 spots in WA Western Australia is absolutely stunning from the tropics in the north to the tall ancient forests in the south…. Also best beaches in Australia 😀

[@runawaylady1833]

Thank you!! I have travelled this country, and WA ranks No. 1 for favourite breath-taking places!! From top to bottom.

[@stevenbalekic5683]

It has beautiful beaches but no state has the best because every region has a different type of beautiful when it comes to the beaches.

They showed Rottnest and not a single quokka! All in the south, nothing further north than the Pinnacles. Very poor choices.

[@stevenbalekic5683]

@@miniveedub Translation for the Dutch arriving to Rottnest island in the 1600's. 'They showed Rats Nest Island without showing a single rat'.🤣 But you are right, I was like expecting them to show them and then it went straight to the next segment....I was thinking....Huh?

[@lyndonmaddison5860]

Gentlemen, please.................We DO NOT have silent r's. The letter 'R' is just not accentuated especially when accompanied with the letter 'N'. For example, the town of Cairns might sound like 'Cans" but if you listen carefully to an Aussie you can hear the 'R sound but the 'N' is slightly more prominent. Same with Melbourne. It can sound like Mel-bun, but if you listen carefully you can hear the subtle 'R'. Another example is the city of Hobart, which is pronounced HO-BART, the same as anywhere else in the world. There is no 'N' in the name. Perth is just Perth, the same as anywhere in the world. A Quay is a common English word for a dock or a wharf. It is pronounced universally as "KEY". Your education continues.

[@dickwilliam3793]

Quay is a common English word? Pretty sure it's French..... Your education continues.

On Rottnest Island there is a very cute little animal called a Quokka. Besides a couple of small areas in Western Australia, it is the only place in the world they live.

Im from Perth lots more to see in WA 1. Wildflower season (August to October) in the midwest/wheatbelt 2. Albany 3. Broome 4.esperence 5..swan valley wine region (its like Margaret river just closer to the city in the metro area) 6. Nigaloo 7. Monkey mia

[@StonedDragons]

Australia is the 3rd largest wine exporter behind France and Spain and the reason its known for high quality is we don't have the competition killing protectionist laws that France has where farmers in various regions of France are basically locked into what wine varieties they are allowed to make, along with a very strict ranking system with very little mobility within it. Thus our wine makers are able to experiment allot more and be recognized for it.

[@AbblittAbroad]

Quay is a French word which means “a stone or metal platform lying alongside or projecting into water for loading and unloading ships”.

[@thevannmann]

The word derived* from French but actually has Celtic origins.

[@kenchristie9214]

Rottnest Island (meaning rat's nest) was named by Dutch explorer Wilhlem Vlamingh who thought the marsupial's (quokkas) inhabiting the island were large rats. The quokkas are believed to be unique to the island but they are also found on the mainland. The numbat is the state fauna.

[@lynneperry7454]

Ok, so place name pronunciation covered ✅, vastness of WA ✅, lots of stunning locations omitted ✅ BUT not stressed Enough (it has been mentioned) is how much = LITTLE Vegemite to spread on you buttered toast. Take about Half the amount you would have done, put Half of that back then meagrely scrape it over the toast. It’s yummy. Also nice with cheese.

[@dutchroll]

Just say Perth like you say "Earth"! 😆 Fremantle = Free-man-tl. Western Australian wines are very good, but South Australian wines are better (disclosure: I'm slightly biased) and world-renowned. When you get your Vegemite, remember it's not peanut butter or Nutella. It most commonly goes on buttered toast, spread very thinly. Vegemite, a concentrated brewer's yeast extract with flavours and spices, is a bit of an acquired taste. It's a rich vitamin B source and became famous during World War 2 when Australia shipped large quantities of it to the fighting troops for its nutritional value. It became strictly rationed for the civilian population, which increased the demand after the war.

[@DaveWhoa]

before you eat vegemite, watch the short youtube video "Hugh Jackman Shows Jimmy Fallon How to Really Eat Vegemite"

Perth - Purr th Fremantle - Free mantle Quay - Key (it's a wharf) I'm REALLY shocked that when on Rottnest Island they didn't show any quokka's. 🤷‍♀️ I've lived in Perth since the early 90's, having lived in Sydney and Melbourne.... Perth is WAY better. Yes it gets HOT here but it also can get cold. We don't get snow but.... there's a place down south called Bluff Knoll that occassionally does get a little snow. *Oh and when you do try the Vegemite... for the love of god LESS IS MORE. Just a light smear on fresh bread with butter or toast with butter. Licking it straight off a knife or spoon is for fools.

Do you two understand the rules of English, your own language?Australia has the same language, and no, we don’t have silent “R” in most words. We just don’t emphasise it. In Cairns, the middle sound is pronounced as “air”, precisely because of the R. Perth, the “er” sound is pronounced exactly as you would expect, so Perth rhymes with Earth.
