I arrived in Australia in 2011 from South Africa. The first thing i noticed was the taste of red meat is very different here especially the mince and sausages. I also found the gas barbeque culture strange because we were used to always use charcoal when having a barbeque in order to give the meat a significant taste. The secondhand culture here was also a very new experience. To us it was not allowed to do so it was strange to see this. And then there is the amasing safety and trust aspect in australia that blew me away. People in australia will walk away from their items on the beach or parks and it will still be there when they come back , or a woman shopping will have her purse open in the trolley she pushes and can freely look away and nobody grabs her purse or bag. If a puse or phone gets lost there is a huge possibility the person that found it will try to return it. Amasing and rewarding aspects of this country!

You can use a Webber barbecue that uses heat beads. Or setup a wood fire barbecue. We all can adjust our pallets to whatever and wherever we cook meat. Flame is flame, and a BBQ plate is just that. Perhaps you were eating Goat?

I’ve known many people who have had purses stolen from handbags in trolleys.... definitely zip up bag and wrap strap around wrist while pushing trolley , never leave trolley as you shop I’ve had paid for items stolen from my trolley , put anything high priced inside something like a coles or big w bag so no one sees a high price store bag they might want to grab and run , I’ve seen it happen with a Vodafone bag containing a new iPhone, the lady was shattered 😢... I always keep my house and car locked at all times . I as a woman would never walk around at night either ..........

A Russian friend of my late father arrived in Australia just after WW2. With a good income he soon moved into one of the better suburbs. He used to talk to the wife of the next door neighbor and eventually found out his neighbor was Robert Menzies the Prime Minister. He told dad he couldn't put that in a letter to his Leningrad relatives as they probably wouldn't believe is was possible to just live next door to the countries political leader.

I have read a lot of the comments below and love them. I travelled the world back in 2000. I flew back into Brisbane airport. I was standing in the long queue to get through customs and one of the customs officers walked up to me and said "are you Australian". I said yes, so he removed me from the queue walked me to an empty customs checking station, asked me the standard questions and said one of the most wonderful things an Australian traveller can hear "welcome home mate" and let me through. After travelling the world and encountering so many different cultures, that are not unfriendly, but let's say not so open, this was the best homecoming ever, it immediately put a smile on my face.

As a 50-something Aussie I remember the "Keep Australia Beautiful" anti-littering campaign of the 70's and 80's. With the subsequent generations I find that littering is unfortunately making a comeback and I think we need to replay that and revitalise the anti-littering culture

I live in rural S.A., and they're showing a NSW anti littering ad on TV just now, "If it's not in the bin it's on you, don't be a Tosser". I think they're taking a cue from the SA government adverts, "Drink Drive, You're a bloody idiot" "don't drive like a W- (picture of an anchor)" and things like that. The most recent one is "I drink drive, I'm a selfish prick". Makes me proud to be Australian.

I live in Melbourne and I hate littering. If there’s no bin around I take my rubbish with me, usually I leave it in the car until I can get it to bin. It always irritates me when see garbage on the ground, especially when I’m walking in a nice park or other natural area. How hard is it to put rubbish in a bin? One time I was driving with a friend and she just dumped a plastic shopping bag full of rubbish right out the window as we were driving along and I went off at her for it. I never understood the attitude of people who treat the world like it’s a tip and just drop garbage wherever they like.

I was washing our bins on the front lawn once and a lady stopped to ask me if I was giving away the bins 😂. Note to self don't leave stuff out unless you want to lose it. Also a lot of charities will come pick up furniture items from you so they don't get ruined if it rains. In rural areas some tips/rubbish dumps have a separate shop part where you give furniture, working items or things that are too good to be thrown away.

The drinkable tap water was the most shocking thing to me as well when I first came to Australia last August, and I really love it... I'm from Beijing and now live in Brisbane. In China, we usually firstly filter the tap water and then boil it using some sort of electrical heater and then let the tempreture down to normal and drink it... This process is really complicated and will take a long time to wait for those love cold water like me... However in Australia, things are getting simple, I have inexhaustible supply of drinkable water just from any tap that I can find in my house. This is amazing. And by the way, Australian tap water tastse a little bit better than Japanese tap water... I usually go cycling every day, and in weekends, something else that really shocking me appears. Many places in Brisbane like South Bank and New Farm Park, as long as there has a huge lawn or besides the Brisbane river, will always have a hugh amount of people squeezing in there and what they do is lying on the grass or having picnic or just walking on the footpath. OMG, this is what you can never see in China. I've never seen some one having picnic in Beijing, mostly may because lawns in Beijing are not allowed to step on, no matter beside the roads or in parks. And huge national parks are alway far from city center where you may have to drive to there but not take subways or buses. And the traffic conditions in Beijing are always terrible... I still think that most Australian people are friendly although I was thrown eggs by a crazy car driver when I was cycling on bikeway near Toowong. Because for the most time what I can see on an Aussie's face is that beautiful iconic smile not an eggie man.

I agree with all the other women on here that I wouldn't go walking at night by myself, especially in parks. Although I also realise when I thought about it that I feel safer at night going a short way, especially in busy areas and suburbs, than say when I was in Los Angeles for a weekend. Finding out that someone was shot at the end of the street from my hostel at night, and also that even during the day I had men following me either by walking and catcalling or driving their cars slowly beside me, I felt far more vulnerable there than I ever had here in Australia.

My parents were very safety conscious and there were never accidents at our place but there was a neighbour’s boy who was hurt himself while throwing “bungers” at others, and another younger lad who ended up with the nosecone of a firework rocket embedded in his forehead. The rocket appeared to not have launched and he bent over it to see why. As a nurse in later years I saw some dreadful injuries due to the misuse of fireworks described by others here, such as letterbox explosions and making pipe bombs!

Late to the party here just seeing this video today. I am a Canadian who travels to Aussie quite often. I also have a Latina wife from Cuba and I travel to Mexico a lot as well. MY overall impression is Canada and Aussie are very similar with our customs. We don't have electric BBQs in public like Aussie but usually there are wood or charcoal BBQs available. All of Latina America has petty robbery problems so everyone there has bars on windows and walls surrounding property with deterrents like broken glass or spikes to keep people out. Some of the biggest differences I notice between Aussie and Canada. - Coffee culture...never heard of Flat White or Long Black before going there. In fact asked for just a regular coffee my first visit to a coffee place and the girl had no idea what I wanted. - No tipping at pubs/restaurants in Aussie. Seems the staff are paid good salaries so don't need tips. In Canada and USA wait staff are paid our relatively low minimum wage and count on tips as part of their income. - Lots of public toilets in Aussie and New Zealand. This is great because in Canada when I am out and about I have to look for places in the bush to have a weewee as public facilities. They have the right idea Down Under Cheers Mate !! Good Video

What really impressed me (which was your #10) was just how beautiful and clean everything was. Not to say Tulsa looks like a rubbish heap or anything, but I've seen my fair share of overflowing bins before. Believe it or not, Tulsa also has a coffee culture as well and a great music scene. I'd never leave anything unlocked (especially a car), even in the quiet suburb I live in, just because there's always nefarious blokes looking for easy targets. I was also given a little book on Australian slang, but have learned quite a bit of it on my own. I'm planning a trip back next year at some point.

In 1980, as a Malaysian, student in Melbourne I was surprised to see Australians queuing up to enter the cinema hall or to board a bus. Aussie drivers also get very confused by these people who would cross and stand in the middle of the road (literally) to wait for a break in the traffic. My friend did that once andthen a tram came along 🙂

I didn’t realise that the piles of secondhand stuff on the side of the road was an Australian thing! Although I have wondered about it before. It’s such a great deal for both the person throwing it out and the person who gets it. Sometimes you only have a couple of things and you don’t want to go to the trouble of selling it or giving it to a charity shop or doing a garage sale. I’ve picked up so many great things from the side of the road. Many of the clothes in my wardrobe are things I found, as well as old cassette tapes, books, dvds, kitchenware, chairs, our couch and tv, and more unusual stuff like a stamp collection and gemstones. Once someone threw out their entire record collection!

Being an American in Australia I feel like these are uniquely Brazilian oddities. I see $3000 cars in Australia that would be $500 in my home town. Toilet roll is used the same in the US. BBQs are everywhere in campsites and the like in North America and Canada. I’ll agree with the free stuff on the verge. I’ve always said you could put a dog turd on the verge with a free sign on it and someone will pick it up. No one I know drinks tap water here even though it’s safe. Too much chlorine. But I live in Western Australia. So that may be different over east. Another one I didn’t agree with is I never locked my door until I moved to Australia. It took a few years for me to get used to locking things up. Of course the theft and vandalism in my area helped remind me. We do walk at night though. Not in the CBD though. It’s pretty clean though. Except for cigarette butts. Now the things I noticed as a yank in Oz is $30 Levi’s are $110. $20 carton of beer is $55. Finding a public toilet, by comparison is near impossible. Houses are tiny and close together, again by comparison. You’d think there were no dogs in Australia. This isn’t a bad thing. But in the US you see a dog or two on the street. Not here, a wandering dog is quickly retrieved and taken to the local vet or pound. Everything (in Western Australia) closes at 5. Mall, shopping centres etc etc. except Thursday. It’s call late night shopping. Which goes til 8 or 9. Mostly 8. You can’t buy a light fixture at bunnings. Only lighting stores can sell fixtures. A $20 oil change and service is $200-300. That’s one I’ll never understand. The dealerships has been screwing Aussies for decades with that one. You also can’t change it yourself, if your car is under factory warranty, if you don’t have a mechanic stamp in your logbook they can deny your warranty. Cars in general get better fuel economy here in Australia. Australia has more diesels here. In the US it’s mostly just big F250 pickups and the like for diesels. In Oz it can be anything from a Hyundai I 30 to a Holden Rodeo or anything in between. Post don’t deliver on Saturday as a general rule. And the Post man Won’t pick up your stamped mail, I thought it was because there was no little red flag to raise on the mailbox. It turns out even if you put a red flag on your mailbox he still won’t pick it up. Guns are a thing in Australia. If you have a reason. You can’t just buy one because it looked cool. A bloke in an apartment in the CBD wants a 22 rilfe. No go. A sheep farmer in the wheat belt needs a 22 to shoot sheep caught in a wildfire. No worries. In the US, for better or worse you can buy whatever you want, within reason with no qualifiers other than age, non felon and mentally stable. Just pointing out a difference not starting a gun debate. I’m sure there are a ton more differences I have noticed between the two. Going both ways. I complain about some and sing the praises of others. In the end no Australian kidnapped me and drug me to Australia. I came on my own accord. And I stayed. So the differences I mentioned is not a complaint but just an observation. Except the $250 oil change. That’s just wrong.

On the flip side of this, I'm an Aussie living in Mindanao Philippines with my wife who was born in Mindanao. I've learned not to complain if my wife snips the corner off a pack of something and just drops the snipped off part on the floor. If a sauce says "Filipino Style" read "very sweet". Drinking water is in 20 liter plastic bottles that you mount on a water dispenser. You must eat rice every day. My wife says in Binisaya "Magkaon ka og kanon sa panihapon kada gabii kaysa di gutom ka na sa gabii" ("You will eat cooked rice for dinner every night so you won't be hungry at night"). Many people will eat rice 3 to 5 times daily. "Meryenda" happens each morning and afternoon, where people take a break for a coffee, and usually eat something sweet that may contain rice. Vendors on trucks and motorcycles drive by each day selling their wares. In the early morning it's "Pandesal! Pandesal init!" (Breakfast roll! Hot breakfast roll!"). In mid morning it's "Taho! Ta-----ho!"("a milky desert with ice and sago pearls"). There's also "Isda! Isda isda!" ("Fish! Fish fish!"), and in the afternoon perhaps "Bananacue!" ("Fried banana"). The garbage collectors ("basurahero") ride on the truck in the middle of all the trash. It's rare for people to wear a helmet when cycling. People will ride on the top of trucks and jeepneys, and in the tray of pickup trucks. It's not uncommon to see 3 to 5 people on one motor scooter. This often includes babies and small children. Everyone will have sent text messages and gone on social media every day, guaranteed! I almost forgot to mention that it is perfectly OK to talk with your mouth full of food, something which shocked an English mate of mine here. Aussies also might be pleased to know that political correctness is yet to make much of an impact here. For example, someone of Caucasian appearance is "maputi" ("whitey"). It surprised me a bit to hear that my wife, who has beautiful brown skin, referred to people of African descent using a word that is a real no-no for Caucasians to use. Oh yes, I always do "tabo" too. I had a very good laugh at Aussies doing a mad rush to buy toilet paper at the beginning of the pandemic. You can pretty much guarantee that if anything is completely sold out in a supermarket here it's likely to be pork or chicken! Light beer is light on carbs, but 5% alcohol still. Aussie girls will get a fake tan, but Filipinas will use skin whitening products. Children are taught to respect their elders, and do "Mano po" (the younger person takes the hand of the elder and lightly touches the back of the elder's hand to their own forehead). Tagalog speakers will always add the word "po" when speaking to an elder or someone in authority.
