@@CyberiusT Lots of gidgee trees (shrubby things), and that stuff stinks to high heaven when it burns. Also thorn trees, just like you see in images of Africa (usually with a leopard reclining in them). They drop thorns about 1-2 inches long which will penetrate any shoe leather and cause infections. From personal experience. Millions and millions of meat ants. Camping out on the ground is an exercise for the foolhardy. Snakes like the warmth of sleeping bags. There's larger critters out there as well. Depending on where you go, but those water buffalo will turn any speeding sedan into a matchbox with everyone still inside if one gets hit head on. We sell the camels to Saudi Arabia for some nice money. They pay top price for the unsullied stock. There's a whole bunch more going on out there than meets the eye, but it's not a land where food grows on trees, unless you count the prickly pear infestations.

Theres no north south east west divide. We didnt have a north south civil war type scenario. We had a rebellion during the gold rush between the miners and the government over rip off cost of mining licences. Not many people involved. Some deaths and injuries and the miners lost but it was the seed of our move towards seperating from British apron strings. A small but important brick in our history. All the states developed independantly and there was no enmity between any of them. Very different from American history in that regard. Australia and New Zealand are like snotty brothers. Our rugby games are like a blood sport We niggle and insult each other all the time but dont dare anyone else try it . Plenty of Kiwis live here and vice versa.

[@Amanda-uc5jq]

[@Kayenne54]

Now wait a minute. There's a tiny bit of attitude from the large Western side towards the East, and/or vice versa. Just a smidge. Perhaps because a large percentage of the population, at least in Perth, are from Great Britain. They brought a strong sense of territorial feeling with them, to the extent, that during water saving days, people were encouraged to "turn off your sprinklers because you're just going to water next door's lawn because of the winds". Which is UnAustralian in sentiment. My daughter, from Queensland, was living in Perth for a while, and was frankly shocked at the ads on TV on this theme.

[@kerrydoutch5104]

@@Kayenne54 yeah there is but just a smidge like you said But tners little irritations everywhere. if you ask Queenslanders and Northern Territorians about anyone in the southern states or WA about the eastern states theyll be a little dismissive. Sydney and Melbourne snipe at each other all the time. Tassie is just forgotten a lot (tho I luv Tassie). Everyone hates Canberra. But nothing like what he was inferring compared to North vs South American civil war and the undercurrent that still exists to an extent. Mix us all up in National sport teams or in the military we're all just Aussies.

[@DavidCalvert-mh9sy]

I came to South Australia as a 16 year old in 1966. Fell in love with the city of Adelaide, and lived here ever since. There is no north south animosity between South Australia and the Northern Territory. This isn't America with attitudes stretching back to a civil war. The Aussie accent is prevalent throughout the country, with only slight variations from region to region. Most Aussies can pick the variations. But if you come to Australia as a tourist you would swear all Australians sound the same. Whereas an Australian travelling around America will be amazed at the different accents moving around the different states from north to south, and east to west.

[@si_vis_amari_ama]

True, but the biggest variation in accent now (vowels) is age-related. Sometimes I cannot tell if a person was born in the US and assimilated or is Australian-born.

[@thevannmann]

The relative differences between regional dialects in Australia is much smaller due to our smaller population and being settled later on with much of the population increases happening post-Industrial revolution. Where they do differ more is in the sociolects. Cultivated is posher, general is what most speak some form of, broad is largely more rural/lower class based and there's also ethno-Australian accents.

With the Antartic Territory claim, that dates back to 1841 when the British originally made a claim on territory, and then ended up being transferred to Australia in the 1930s (obviously this was before the whole 'no one can lay claim to the antartic' treaty). It's mostly used these days to ensure environmental protection both on land and in the sea around the area, for example the waters off the coast of the Australian territory are designated as a whale sanctuary and the Australian government makes sure there is no mining or other destructive activities happening on land. There are a number of scientific research stations in the area as well. I honestly don't mind that we claim the territory, so long as it remains a way to ensure that no one else can just get in there and start messing things up environmentally.

Not a military conflict. But people from the states, Northern Territory, ACT and New Zealand treat each other like siblings. We tease each other but there's no real hostility involved. New Zealand's like a little brother. Unfortunately a large percentage of our Aboriginal population were wiped out in the early days of colonisation due to European diseases, etc. Europe has yet another reason to love us this year. During 2000 Sydney Olympics the then Crown Prince Frederick of Denmark fell in love with and Mary Donaldson from Tasmania. They got married four years later. It's like a real-life fairy tale. Recently his mum decided to abdicate her thrown. So now she's his Queen Mary. She's such a lovely lady who pretty much charms everyone who meets her. Frederick's an Honorary Aussie.

[@vanessagoddess1]

3:24 Australia has a genuine claim over Antarctica (probs easier for you to google it; long explanation, etc) 4:05 always makes me giggle how Americans pronounce Canberra. Btw, it's Can-brah 5:10 no, no conflict between North and South 12:05 cos they killed so many of them (historically - they almost wiped out the entire Tasmanian Indigenous population). That said, native Americans and Indigenous Canadians make about about the same (3-5%). Also, they don't refer to themselves as 'Aboriginal'; they are Indigenous Australians on the mainland and Torres Straight Islanders off the mainland (broadly speaking). They also refer to themselves by their language and their borders. In my State (Victoria) there are almost 25 - eg: I live on Boonwurrung country. 16:45 the food - it's really hard to define our food because it is such a fusion. Because we are so multicultural, our food isn't really one thing. The Chinese came here during the gold rush (1850). They've been here for ages ... so makes sense that they have heavily influenced our food. Each time there is a war or conflict, Australia saw a rise in population from that group/country. After the Vietnam war we had a lot of Vietnamese come here. During the conflict in Sudan and the Horn of Africa, there was a rise in that group. And, of course, our food is heavily influenced by where the majority of us came from - the UK. So our food is such a mix - it's a bit of this and a bit of that, lol. But the best description I can give is it is UK base with Asian and African fusion If you and your family come here you would be most welcome and I hope you have a fantastic time!

Aboriginals are the original inhabitants of Australia with a history estimated at over 75 thousand years, meaning they are the oldest living culture. They currently make up 3.8% of population, estimation, as some may not have participated in the census of 2021. Although there has been no civil war, some rebellions, in Australia. It needs to be remembered that the British invaded and killed any Aboriginal that stood against them. Aboriginals did not get citizenship in their own country till 1948 and were not allowed to vote until 1962. They were not given full and total voting rights until 1984 when it become compulsory for all Aboriginal people to vote in line with all other Australians.

Until it floods. The inland portion of Australia is below sea level; I used to find sea shells and other molluscs in petrified stone beside the highway on the way to Winton, Queensland. I also found obsidian in the same area - large areas scattered with it. Seemed like a huge volcano just levelled that region millions of years ago. The western side of the Great Dividing Range slopes downhill into the centre of Australia; so basically, most of Australia is a bowl. Interestingly, most continents on the planet have a higher elevation on their western coast line, Australia's lies on its eastern side. The Great Dividing Range starts somewhere in Victoria, and finishes up near New Guinea (undersea at that point). People do grow crops; the Great Artesian Basin underlying most of Queensland and into NT, parts of NSW and even South Australia supply bore water; to water cattle and stock, and provide fresh fruit and vegetables, but usually only for local consumption on the cattle stations.

If you want somewhere quiet where you can fish and grow you crops Tassie is the place to be, that's if you can tolerate the cold. Agree with you about Antarctica, something fishy going on there.

The best thing to come out of the Northern Territory is the road South.

Well yes, because 500k's have no speed limit.

If you look at the 2021 Census figures, the percentage of American Indian/Alaskan Native people in the US is also only around 3%.

The ankle strap is either a detention monitor or a shark repellent. Due to location i'm leaning towards the later.

New Zealand is mentioned in Australia's 1901 constitution as a possible additional state. The Northern Territory (like Puerto Rico) rejected a vote on statehood.

[@daviddempsey8721]

Zeeland is an area (peninsula) in the Netherlands. So New Zealand was their low-imagination name for a new place.

[@CVTECK1]

Thanks David

[@karengoderie7758]

With the conflict issue not much history of fighting. Only civil conflict was eureka stockade which was brief.. lead to the vote very early historically.

[@katybatesy74]

The big star under the Union Jack is not representing the common wealth. Each point on the star represents each State and Territory not including ACT as that did not exist when the flag was designed.

[@bernstock]

I love viewing Australia through an American lens, it’s super interesting. Great reactions bro!

[@geraldblaney9764]

His description of the out back is inacurate .thats outright desert country he pointed to .the out back is unpopulated land from bush land to deserts

[@ThuggyBear]

Either place would be awesome for a vacation, weigh it up, pros and cons of each and youll come up with the best one! So... Ill reccomend some great spots in the Barossa Valley for when you come to Australia first 😂

[@CVTECK1]

thanks

[@davew8799]

That Vegemite you bought, keep some if you ever come for a visit. Put some on the tip of your ears and nose. Its a natural defence against Drop Bear attacks.

FYI "Rugby" is a term used for two different sports Rugby League and Rugby Union

Tasmanian here. Northern and Southern Tasmania are at war. We are fed Vegemite from birth to safeguard us from crocodiles. I have a breeding pair of Tasmanian Tigers.

[@JohnSmith-sj2dk]

i am a little aussie guy and was being mugged by 3 guys in SF, soon as I opened my mouth they let me go...thx crocodile Dundee (and JESUS).

[@kevkoala]

Believe it or not, it actually snows here in Australia as well! Where I live, I live just over an hour's drive from the closest snowfields. And believe it or not, the Australian snowfields get more snow than the Swiss Alps! The difference between the Australian and New Zealand flags is that the Australian flag has white stars whereas the New Zealand flag has red stars and 2 less stars than the Australian flag.

[@margaretreid2153]

We have plenty of snow in North Island and of course the beautiful Southern Alps in the South Island.

[@louisemcmillan3576]

You can't choose between UK and Australia, they are two completely different propositions. Travel wise for you Americans its a lot closer and cheaper to fly to UK. The history, culture and architecture is rich and ancient, the countryside is beautiful, lush green, gorgeous, chocolate box scenery. Australia is a long, and therefore, expensive flight. The european history and architecture is relatively new (1788). The ancient history is aboriginal and whilst beautiful and rich, its somewhat sporadic and sometimes not accessible to everyone. There are aboriginal tourist performances, visitor centres and artworks, but you must seek them out. Australian climate/terrain: There are lush, tropical zones, medium temperate AND dessert, plus miles of magnificent quiet beaches and islands. It all depends on what you want (and can afford) from your vacation. In my humble opinion (and I'm Australian) both UK and Australia are fantastic and worth a look. Australia is BIG, so seeing it all is impossible or can also be long and expensive. Also weather in Australia is good, but we do have winter (June, July August) and even snow in some places. Northern parts of Australia only have two seasons - wet and dry. Its always cool-warm to very hot in these zones. And yes, we look upon New Zealand as our little brother. And yes, there is sibling rivalry (mostly about sports and who invented pavlova 😂) but when push comes to shove, we stand together and are VERY protective of one another.... Pavlova is a desert, mostly eaten at Christmas or other celebratory occasions. Love from Perth Western Australia xxx

Australia has never ever had a civil war

Hire a proppa 79series Toyota land cruiser with a proppa bull bar cause your goanna hit kangaroos and drive around the joint. Forget the cities just road trip around the place, allow a few months to have your mind blown. Ausi is all out back. Always carry lots of spare fuel and 50-60 litres of water, extra spare tyres, all the shit ya need to go off grid. Special place to check out is Corrobaree billabong on the Mary River up the top of the Northern Territory. Go in the middle of the Dry season, June- July hire a houseboat and spend 3 or 4 days in Saltwater Croc Central. Truly a world class holiday for the family or Mad catchup for the boys.Flora and Faunna out the wazzzu proppa. Bucket list this joint, vast is an understatement.

I had vegimite while in Australia, for anyone wondering what it taste like, I told the guys who shared it with me that it taste like a combination of Tobacco and shoe polish.

Originally New Zealand was consider a part of Australia & was actually under our control, not many people know this these days but it is a fact.

[@Leo-hv9mm]

NZ was group of islands as part of NSW. Does NZ still have independence day? Independence granted from NSW when NSW was not a state, but a country/colony.

[@justjj4319]

You are correct, treatment of Indigenous peoples in both your country and mine ... "own" their own land until miners or ... someone ... wants it. :(

Except they say they don't own the land.

The star below the Union Jack has 7 points, which represent the 7 states and territories. NEW ZEALAND does not have the star
