[@narelle-creative-arts]

As an Aussie I’m so proud that the US and the world has embraced our show so much….bluey is everything ❤️❤️

[@Bfettrules]

We love it because it promotes traditional family values and the nuclear family. Every show here nowadays always seems to happen to feature divorced families, gay families, etc. nothing against those lifestyles but they’re way in the minority of how life typically is. Most of us still embrace the traditional family structure.

"Your voice is so comforting." 100% agree

And yesss she's so gorgeous. And the way Melanie answered the questions, the way she talked, I can say I was just blown away. She's very smart and expressive and funny too. I just love her SM!

Wow!! The whole audience! That’s amazing!❤

Ikr! I was thinking to myself they must be giving away 1 holiday but wow it was the entire audience 😆 must be paid for by the QLD government or something, you can't buy this sort of tourism exposure. Well, maybe you can! 😂

Sometimes my daughter and I watch Bluey together when she comes to visit, she doesn't live with me because shes 27, but we both love the show. Amazing that everyone got a trip to Australia! Hope they have a great time here.

It is SO cool to see my tv besties beautiful face to match her beautiful and one of a kind voice! Bluey is MY favorite, it’s a staple in my house now because of Bandit and Chili! They are my people and yes I’m aware they’re cartoons… lol but they’re truly something I look forward to! I’ve watched every. single. episode, I’ve learned from this show!!

💙 Couldn't love this more! We can't wait to welcome everyone to Queensland!

[@andrewhazlewood4569]

“You’re doing a great job” was done really well in baby race. Particularly because the character that says it isn’t shown saying it to Chilli but to camera - effectively it is said to the parent audience.

I'm an Aussie (also living in Aus) and would love to go!

[@greybirdo]

Sleepytime is my favourite episode too. Loss, the eternal nature of maternal love, Gustav Holst and pee jokes- all in a seven minute cartoon. An absolutely cracking piece of art.

[@KerryRandall-ov6mm]

Hope ya all have a fantastic time down under n especially at Blueys Watch it with the grand kids..ENJOY

[@mrd4785]

Not enough Americans travel and not enough Americans travel to Australia specifically. At a minimum you are going to have fun and adventure, but you might even gain some new perspectives on life if you keep your eyes open. Stay a bit longer if you can, as Australia is as big as the continental United States and there is lots to do and see. I hope our hospitality is top notch for our North American friends and allies.

[@Jrnpd456]

Yes as a Brisbane hospo workers we do give got service, and brilliant coffee. But if you are rude, and don’t use manners, we bite.

[@jourdainhiini6548]

I live in Brisbane, Queensland. I grew up on the northside right near stafford primary school which features in bluey. Strange to think a cartoon made in Brisbane has a worldwide audience. You will all love our state.

[@Loupdelou-ly1ve]

I live in the city where Bluey is made and set, and also in the suburb where the “Bluey House” is available to rent on Airbnb. Kids are mad for it and there’s not a lot of footpaths that don’t have chalk drawings of Bluey. It’s lovely ❤ I imagine that house is rented all the time. Such a great idea!

[@chezzachezza7325]

Sleeeppppyyyyyyy timeeeeeee OMG

[@czechdownunder4130]

Hope you enjoy your stay in QLD from a Queenslander. Not mentioned in the clip, Queensland is also home to Australia Zoo - Yep THAT Australia Zoo, home of the late great Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, his wife Terri and Kids Bindi and Robert. It's only an hour by road from Brisbane.

[@honeymcdonald9120]

Welcome to Qld everyone from a Queenslander !! Recommend you go north from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast. Australia zoo (Steve Irwin) and have lunch in somewhere like Mooloolaba or Noosa.

[@robert-brydson-1]

So glad somewhere other than NSW is gettin some attention

[@AlisonReacts]

Also as someone from brisbane who works for a Gold Coast radio station (I drive down - it’s only an hour and a half or so) you MUST go to the Gold Coast, its definitely more a touristy place by the beach, plus it has all the theme parks, And if you’re in Brisbane, go down to a Howard Smith Wharves for dinner and a drink. (Plus your money is so much more valuable here atm!) Have fun!!!!!

[@ajmilagros]

Brisbane or Gold Coast: where should I go?🤔 😂 As someone who lives on the GC it’s a no brainer to me - just a word of advice, if you can plan your trip to not coincide with our local school holidays, you’ll have a less stressful time - Google it! It changes every year. The weather is great all year, just remember summer is humid and winter is not - just like Florida ❤

[@arthurwatts1680]

Kudos to Kelly for pronouncing Brisbane as the locals do, not as some Californians might. I would have to be mindful of the local pronunciation if I ever found myself in CA. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWTQpoh-otOio5Y Fun fact: Melbourne FL is named after the city in Australia, at least according to Wikipedia - The city, formerly called "Crane Creek",[13] was named Melbourne in honor of its first postmaster, Cornthwaite John Hector, an Englishman who had spent much of his life in Melbourne, Victoria This is quite a novelty, as most Australian towns and cities were either taken from an Aboriginal word or simply transplanted from the Old Country.

Okay but as a Brisbaner who just flew Qantas back from LA, if you’re tall, it was awful hahaha - tiny seats, and my screen didn’t work the fight back 🙃

[@MikeDare-c8h]

Get your legs shortened! Obviously you cannot design planes for the one percentiles.

[@AlisonReacts]

@@MikeDare-c8h no but you CAN update them. I’m just pointing out that anyone over 5”6 will have an issue. The domestic planes are more comfortable than the international seats. And for a fourteen hour flight that matters. Especially if you have a screen that doesn’t work. Unfortunately the economy seats in a lot of those planes haven’t been updated. The flight attendants even brought it up to us that it’s been far too long since they’ve updated them 🤷🏻‍♀️ so it isn’t just me saying it for the sake of it 😂

[@mikeyhau]

The good news is that you're going to Australia. The bad news is you have to fly with QANTAS.

[@triarb5790]

To us Qantas is hopeless. But if you'd ever flown any of the American airlines, trust me you'd think Qantas was bliss.

[@Davo-i1s]

When its for free who cares who you fly with ? Qantas is fine with me I am actually a Qantas Platinum level Frequent flyer and reguarly fly all over the world with them. I have also used quite a few other carriers both domestically and internationally. In reality their service is better than some and maybe not quite as good as others but the differences really arent that great. A lot of times its the attention you get from the cabin crew that will determine how pleasant the flight experience will be..
