When my dad had bees, he'd use Paperbark in his bee smoker to subdue the bees and calm them down.its a very handy tree . Its so awesome getting to see all of you discovering Australia together. You're a great family and im glad to see you enjoying straddie together. I used to go there with dad and mum aa a kid, then fishing there with a mate as i got older. Fantastic place. Have an absolute blast. Its definitely a place to enjoy.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

In Australia, fathers day occurs on the 1st sunday in September

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Yeah we actually found that out, didn’t know that!

[@prettygurl11ize]

So cool Blessings ❤

[@yourdaywillcome5694]

She is so precious and beautiful ❤️

[@aup10]

Hahaha. I think mum was more excited than the kids to see kangaroos.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Yeah she was 😂

[@katrinalongley]

Happy Father's Day!!

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Thank you!!!

If you ever have trouble like that dead phone ever again, dive into the local library. The librarian will normally let you charge your phone for 5-10 minutes. Or you can go to the local Servo (petrol station) and top up you tank with Amex and buy a car charger while you're there. She'll be right mate, fair dinkum! The other thing you can often do is to seek payment of goods later by leaving one of your phones with the shop operator. Be sure to power it OFF prior to handing it over. Hope my advice from a fellow Aussie helps.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

That’s awesome advice and we greatly appreciate it. Thank you or watching! Hope you enjoyed!

Dry shampoo + push through! 🫧🧴🙌🏻

[@AUmarcus]

Father's day is September 1st in Australia. 👍

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Yeah we found that out!

[@easyezzington]

I've seen fruitbat colonies that look like a snake in the sky; 100m round, kilometres long & you can't see the light through them all... Millions of them, It's unbelievable

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

That’s wild. That are so cool!

[@Danger_Mouse_00]

Flying foxes are the largest bats, some attaining a wingspan of 1.5 metres (5 feet) with a head and body length of about 40 cm (16 inches). Flying foxes are Old World fruit bats (family Pteropodidae) that roost in large numbers and eat fruit. My last house i was in every night had a big one comes in the backyard to eat of the trees. They are lovely creatures and nothing to fear from them.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

They are actually really cool! We got to see a few at the zoo's in Bali, but it is unreal seeing them in the wild on North Stradbroke!

[@wallywombat164]

I didn't know you could get muchmellows in Australia. I've never had one.

[@gbsailing9436]

Oh and I don't know if you saw it, but a whale just breathed out above your daughter's head about 150m offshore. Look at 13:16-13:17 and you see a little PUFF pop up!!!

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

That’s really cool! Thank you for pointing that out! We love seeing the whales!

Koalas- just koalas- they’re not bears 😂❤ 🐨

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Yeah we found that out. Our friends made fun of us 😂

[@Dr_KAP]

@@TheWickmansLife2024 🤣 well I’m not making fun of you I’m Aussie and used to call it a koala bear as a kid! I’m in hospital recovering from surgery in Sydney and your videos have made me smile so much ❤️ 🐨

[@FionaEm]

It's not Father's Day in Australia until early Sep, so technically you didn't forget! ❤

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

That’s true! We found that out later on.

[@Danger_Mouse_00]

How much can a koala bare? 😜

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Hopefully a lot! lol

[@yourdaywillcome5694]

She looks like her daddy 100%

[@Danger_Mouse_00]

We dont have koala bears but we do have drop bears.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

We heard about the drop bears!

[@glenod]

its just koala or koalas plural, they are not bears, they are marsupials, closest relative is the wombat :) baby roos are called joeys, and a group of roos is called a mob, you'll get the aussie lingo soon.

[@TheWickmansLife2024]

Yeah we found that out the hard way. Our friends made fun of us! lol That's awesome thanks for the heads up!

[@glenod]

@@TheWickmansLife2024 yw, thanks for visiting aus and taking the time to look around. :)

[@DaveOz-mx5oh]

drop bears aren't bears either, just a close but dangerous cousin of the koala
