Our house is 131 years old, still has its Hills Hoist.

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

You're banging into the North American stereotype that only slovenly backwater hicks (and the Amish) use clotheslines. American houses all have a laundry room with a washer, a dryer, shelves for detergent and dryer sheets and whatnot, and a table for sorting and folding. And since the late forties, or early fifties at the latest, the washer and dryer are pretty reliably electric. Hanging laundry outdoors on a line, is viewed in much the same way as having broken old furniture sitting permanently on your front lawn with the stuffing and upholstery rotting and moldy, or several old rusty broken-down pickup trucks. It's embarrassing, and if you live in a nice area it's likely to upset people, because they'll be worried it will drive down property values in the neighborhood. So the idea that anyone might view something like a clothesline, as a positive icon of their country, does not compute for Americans, especially in reference to an otherwise mostly civilized country.

[@TotoDG]

Believe me, you have no _idea_ how iconic the Hills Hoist is. We literally have one in our backyard. I can even see it from my bedroom window.

[@HalfAsleepChris]

That's crazy. I've got one too, I just never really thought of it as iconic.

[@MaggotDiggo1]

Is there a better example of these men not understanding Australia than them stating that a founding father of Australia is more significant than a clothesline? I think not.

[@klyvemurray]

You've got that right!! Iconically up there with the Victor Lawnmower and 'cask wine' :)

[@azzureone78]

They put Henry Parkes on a special $5 note in 2001 to celebrate 100 years of nationhood so I guess the mint thought he'd had a go already and plus a Hills Hoist is FAR more iconic than he is :)

The “Hills Hoist” is actually a very important in Australian cultural identity- it was one of the very first Australian inventions that was used by common people all over Australia and was an object that was in nearly every backyard in Australia. It was used by children to swing around on and was incorporated into children’s play to be turned into magical castles with some clean sheets. It was also an example of how an Australian battler could Invent something that would improve the world and make him a fortune. One of the Australian identity is that we have is that of buying a house with a backyard that includes a pumpkin patch and a hills hoist.... We even have a song that everyone knows the words of that incorporates this imagery into the song.... It goes something like “give me a home amongst the gum trees with lots of Plumtree a sheep or two and a kangaroo... a close line out the back... Veranda out the front and an old rocking chair”

[@Rottnwoman]

Just like that only spelled better

[@theperson8539]

My house actually came with one... we used it briefly, although Australia is now in an eternal Monsoon and it has become moot.

[@WorldNews92]

[@patrickbunney1214]

I'm an Australian myself, and I think JJ might be overestimating how much Aussie history most people know. But in general, the cynic in me says that they are avoiding anything controversial or serious at all, but in saying that Hills Hoists are a big deal.

[@ryaningham5374]

The Hills Hoist is far more iconic than a founder of our nation. If you didn't get shouted at by your mum for swinging about on the hills hoist and breaking it, you haven't lived.

@@copuis But it's just one of those freestanding rotary ones, isn't it? I've probably had one in every house I've ever lived in. As have most of my neighbours and friends and relatives.

If they went out and repaired the fenceline and counted the livestock they were called Boundry riders.

While the lamington was correct for L… I believe that the lamington with jam in the centre is the New Zealand version. And if you want to start a verbal fight in a room filled with kiwis and Aussies just mention that you know who first invented the lamington... You can also get this fight over who invented the Pavlova. As I got family who are both Australians and New Zealanders I’ve had these fights going on and off in my family ever since I was born. I get into trouble because I tell them that... the lamington with jam was invented by Kiwis and the lamington without jam was invented by Aussies and the Pavlova was invented by the Greeks. Frankly I think the Leamington was invented by the Italians… They have a desert called a “peach” which is basically similar to a lamington only covered in raspberry jelly crystals and coconut. But I also get into trouble - from both the Australian and New Zealand family members because while I don’t care if my lamington has jam or not - I am always asking for cream with my lamington.

Parkes was important enough that they named a town after him, as well as a dozen other things. He could hardly be a PM of Australia because Australia didn’t exist. He was however the Premier of NSW, the founding and most important colony, for a record 5 terms. That the most powerful premier sought a united country rather than champion individual “states rights” was the driving force behind the unification. Federal Govt necessarily means less power for your own state.

He really go the ball rolling. He is said to have been a great orator, his Tenterfield oration is one of those throng I definitely remember reading about at school. Yeah he really got federation happening. If he hadn’t died five years before 1901 I think he would have been remembered more. Although he helped achieve federation, he wasn’t there to write the constitution or serve in federal parliament. But I was taught about him at school. Like many times.

No, you have similar things, but you don't own or didn't invent them (most of the time).

Australians aren’t that patriotic when it comes to our history as a state and or any of our politicians. We tend to stray away from grandeur and status meaning everyday items and things that represent the everyday person are much more likely to appear here. As well as iconic flora and fauna

[@Morbid_micko]

Some of these answers are hilarious but good video. Aussie Aussie Aussie!

[@kraftigamer]

How have I lived in Australia my whole life and never known these coins existed!

[@davidthom327]

In Australia we don’t care or Idolise our leaders so it would’ve never been the founding father guy

[@JohnCran]

As an Australian I'm disappointed that "D" wasn't a drop bear.

[@janicebarry8089]

Oh god as an Australian I’m cringing so hard “dog on a box” 😬😬😬😬

[@Sikosm]

Me too

[@JJMcCullough]

Well it’s not exactly a cat on a ball.

[@nachocheese1650]

Who on the this earth says dollardoo!

The dog on the tucker box just has a better ring to it

[@lilwhitecrow]

As an Australian I’m crying right now

[@MrMuel1205]

The Hill's Hoist is more than just a clothesline - it's an iconic fixture of every backyard, something kids for generations have been yelled at for swinging on. I think in the popular imagination it conjures nostalgia for backyard cricket matches and barbies on hot summer days. I think now they're slowly starting to disappear from backyards with just about every house having a clothes dryer these days, but at least for now they're pretty iconic.

These Aussies do be copying our ideas tho😂

[@legendaryiguess]

Being an aussie, I hated that he pronounced emu as “Emoo”

[@albertbatfinder5240]

Emoo is always a tough one to listen to. It’s funny how JJ seems very knowledgeable on sone arcane Australian stuff, but when he says emoo you realise it’s all book learning and not assimilated experience. Not that it matters.

[@brendonobrien.]

It really pisses me off. Every time I here some one say emoo, I scream it’s emyou.

[@chookinator]

As an Australian, I really enjoyed this video. But I also feel it important to point out that the term “Aborigine” is a fairly offensive term toward Aboriginal Australians, and is mostly used by old racist white folks :P I know that this is not common knowledge, even inside of Australia with our lacking education on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories. So as someone not even from Australia, don’t stress! Just wanted to educate. I also wish a few more of these coins had more significant icons on them- Such as Mabo day for M, rather than a meat pie. Most of the iconography feels very shallow, but hey, what should you expect from this kinda thing?

[@astrid3731]

Totally agree! As an Australian I wish more people abroad knew how outdated the term is. This is the second time I've heard an english youtuber use it and be completely unaware about it's history and how offensive it is.

[@CloroxBleach-cq7tj]

I'd disagree in saying that the iconography is "shallow" A meat pie is significant in the fact that most people grow up with an experience of eating them at an event they enjoy(generally at sporting events, given their small price), or at a place where they grow up (school - at the canteen) also, they are extremely popular here "Australians eat an estimated 270 million meat pies every year - nearly 12 per person annually" www.foodstandards.gov.au/consumer/generalissues/meatpie/Pages/default.aspx#:~:text=Australians%20each%20eat%20an%20average,is%2066%20million%20a%20year. Mabo Day however, while a significant milestone for equality in Australia, is not viewed as culturally significant, given it is not largely celebrated by the general populous. And most kids do learn about it in school - I learnt of it in a general sense in Year 7

[@Darcikins_Yeet]

Yes a washing line is really that culturely significant here in Australia

[@daidarabotchi3891]

Lamingtons don't actually normally have jam inside - although I genuinely had to think for a second, because you said it so straightforwardly that I thought, 'wait, do they?'.
