HERES a fact you didn’t know about Australia, @ 2:37 “was a bunch of criminals “… is actually a picture of the first settlers of South Australia , landing at Glenelg as ‘free settlers’.

[@deborahcurtis1385]

The difference between them and the convicts is a bit academic, since most were only petty criminals who were stealing to get by at a time when there was no social security only poor houses and exploitation. Some were Irish radicals, some were hardened criminals but most were not. Thank goodness for the Irish and the Scots though, they livened things up! Australia was founded on a lot of idealism and notions of equality and we were among the first to give the vote to women and recognise one vote one value. In early times voting was according to considerations like property.

Fact check Ryan 😢 the American lady stated Bob Hawke as the longest serving Prime Minister. He wasn’t. Robert Menzies was the longest serving with 4 terms then John Howard with 3 and then everyone else who have served 2-2.5 or 1 or less. The 6cm movement north of the continent is actually 7. And the 7,000 beaches is nearly 12,000. I haven’t subbed to her channel. But you definitely need to come here and check it out for yourself.

[@macman1469]

You're right about Menzies then Howard in longevity as PM . I think you may have have confused how many elections they won as PM with how many terms they served as PM. Australian Federal Representatives are voted in 3 year terms ,though they can call for an election sooner. So with Menzies 16yrs (without counting his first term 1.5years approx) and Howard serving 11years they must have served more than 4 and 3 terms as PM .

[@murraya82]

Yes Howard won 4 elections. Menzies was 3 years then 16 years, Howard was 11 and Hawk almost 9. Many of her facts were wrong or not quite right. Hawk though dies hold records for beer drinking at Oxford, all over Ireland and Australia but didn’t actually partake while he was Prime Minister.

"the emu, the only bird close in height to an ostrich"... apart from a cassowary and jabiru, also found in Australia and probably other birds overseas. She was wrong about the longest serving Prime Minister too. Robert Menzies (10 years longer) and John Howard (3 years longer) served much longer than Bob Hawke's 8 years. "Oh what is that? That's cool." Was Port Arthur - the site of convict settlement in Tasmania (also the site of the worst mass shooting in the world ever at the time (1996) which prompted Australia's very successful gun control laws and gun buyback).

The law about the hay bale in the taxi is a remnant from when taxis were horse drawn.

The distance between Kangaroo Island and King Island is 745 km. Both Island are in southern area of Australia, unlike Lord Howe Island which is off Queensland.

"maritime boarders"? Where do they stay? In aquariums or under undersea rock ledges? How is their board collected?

2:52 - Ironically, as you speak about Australia being all about convicts the image in the background looks to be of the old gum tree, at the proclamation of South Australia on December 28, 1836. South Australia was Free Settlers.

How do you keep drop bears away? Thanks to their highly developed sense of smell, Drop Bears are sensitive to strong, unnatural odors such as vegemite or toothpaste. A generous layer of either applied to the sweat glands of the underarms and behind the ears is usually pungent enough to repel the bears

I love that she included 'Drop Bears' among Australia's deadly creatures. And I knew she was having a lend when she suggested that all taxis are required to carry a bale of hay in the trunk and that Bob Hawke was elected PM because he could down a beer faster than anyone else (that bit's true by the way). He was elected because for many years, before entering politics, he was the most popular person in Australia, known for being a man of the people as well as being very smart (a Rhodes Scholar). In fact, from the time he entered parliament, it was always assumed that he would be the next prime minister, sooner rather than later, and of course, he was.

The taxi hay in the “boot” ( not trunk) was a law introduced during the time cars were being introduced and was to feed the horses that were slowly getting replaced. Not having the hey in the back was a fineable offence worth like 50c …

[@riseofasinkingwarrior490]

The weird Aussie laws reminds me of one where back in the day it was illegal to go swimming at the beach during a work day in the 1800s, but not at night. I think this was to stop unemployed men from going to the beach and having fun. But I think the law worded it in such a way that it targeted men, so women were still allowed to go swimming. But... there was a loophole due to the way it was worded, meaning men could go swimming if they wore women's bathing suits. So guess what happened? They took their sisters bathing suits and took a dip.
