Hey everyone, cameralady here, just wanted to apologize to anyone if my camerawork wasn't the best that day. Guess I was super excited. Will definitely improve on this or get a tripod lol :) Much love to you all. And special thank you to everyone for these awesome packages and all packages sent. Wow. :')

[@lukebartle2879]

When lan opens the tube you also need to be there for there is 4 posters 2 stubbie holders. For no one has sent these posters. They happen to be his favourite Bathurst car. Please don’t tell him there is two Torana pictures be careful of them. Cause they are altogether in the tube. They are separate pictures. It will put the 😊 on his face more. The two stubbie holders are of Ned Kelly. There is also another parcel there has a hoodie with the Torana on it I hope it fits him it’s Size XL.

[@MrNatebain]

The gift from Anthony must have been from a very personal collection.... Coins from all of those years, grouped together, is very uncommon. To have in your possession coins dating back to 1911 and multiple progressive years up until the ceased circulation of the Australian penny is amazing and would have taken dilligence to group together. Very generous indeed. I was blown away with the personality of all of the gifts you received over the 2 days here. Wonderful, generous people of Australia!

Pedro and Emma clearly have such a special friendship ❤️❤️

[@jessicahudswell14]

@James Doe me too! Adorable!

[@taniaPBear]

Wow, you and your family are really getting the Aussie love. It's not surprising, but some of those gifts are mind blowing. I thought the R.M. Williams and Uggs were something (very pricey stuff), but those old coins were on another level, I don't think you could buy those, they had to have been collected by someone. The hat is an Akubra, which is I guess the equivalent of a cowboy hat here, but top shelf, everything you got was amazing. You do an incredible job all of you, and together you just shine love and kindness, you make us all feel good. Thank you.

Awesome vid!! Field trips are called "excursions" in Aussie schools. Those mugs/tumblers with the yellow band around them from Firbank are reusable coffee cups (we call them keep cups). You take them into your local Cafe and they make your coffee in your own cup. Saves wastage from takeaway cups. The yellow strap is to help insulate it so it's comfy to hold and doesn't slip out of your hand. Blown away by the generosity of these parcels.

I'm always impressed by the generosity of my fellow Aussies during your mailtime videos - but today's was probably the best yet! Those coins are amazing, and Firbank Grammar's collection is pretty impressive too. Maybe they can start up a 'sister school' arrangement with Emma & Andrew's school when the kids are old enough to go 😊

Your kids, when they grow up, will have a lot of show and tell at school. It’s lovely to see someone take a really keen interest in the Australian (first nations and non first Australian) culture… this channel has made me proud to be an Australian just that much more…. Cheers guys.

[@TheSledgehammer205]

Bit of trivia, friend of mine moved from Texas here to Perth with his wife and young family. As a result of the total immersion into the Aussie culture and language, his kids are able to speak the same language with two accents. They were at thanksgiving dinner with other family who came down before the lockdowns a few years back, and the kids had some of their friends from school over, and could switch from speaking in a thick southern American accent to an Aussie drawl in the same breath. The wonders of the human mind.

[@melindafrazer1427]

wow.. that's so cool

[@marcturner2119]

They are clever kids, mate! No doubt the other children would have thought it pretty cool - and would have given the parents a giggle too! Seems like it would have been a culmination for thanksgiving if the children (in an Aussie drawl) said Yeah, good on ya, ya turkey!

[@helenh20mo]

When I travelled around Our country we stayed on a station in the kimberley we had boab nuts that were carved with dream time stories

[@julesrools]

NAIDOC actually is an acronym for National Aboriginal and Islanders Day Obsevance Committee and all legitimate Murri art is hand painted, and the hand painting has nothing to do with NAIDOC week, so I'm sorry Sharon but the first sentence in your comment makes no sense to this Murri.

[@robertclothier3597]

Hi Ian & family. Not quite sure if you fully realise what an incredibly generous gift Anthony sent you with the coin collection. Hang on them mate, they are worth a small fortune & will only increase in value. I bought a couple of commemorative remembrance day $2.00 coins back in around 2010. They are now worth around $250 each (in mint condition).

[@BESHYSBEES]

Certainly worth a bit but I’d say they have “centimental” value lol but seriously some pennies are worth over a million dollars and plenty are valued in the hundreds of dollars

[@marcturner2119]

Ian, mate, you might like to include a note of the collection to your insurance company so they are covered. You are sitting on a motsa (large amount of money) and it would be extremely difficult (or impossible) to replace. I work with insurers in Aus so trust me on this. By the way the Akubra and Aboriginal art is awesome. I’m a Worimi man (aboriginal mob from just north of Newcastle) and each piece of art is a story. If you like I can show you come of mine (never seen outside my family)

[@BESHYSBEES]

@@marcturner2119 have to agree with you bud, make sure they’re covered on insurance there’s probably a good reason to have them appraised and put in a safety box

Soon Ian one of the major tv stations are going to jump on your chanel . WHEN they do make sure you get some airline tickets and a full holiday experience from them , all expensives paid for .

[@eekvos]

I'll also add (in case someone hasn't done so yet); In the package you received from Firbank Grammar, the 2 black and white cups are actually reusable coffee cups, meant for hot drinks. You know our coffee culture, so it's only natural that reusable coffee cups are common place. Usually you take them along to your favourite (or any) cafe and hand them to the barista instead of a single-use paper cup. The yellow band around it is so that you can hold onto it without burning your hand. That gift from Firbank Grammar is amazing! So thoughtful.

[@heatherlewis3713]

Hi Everyone, I am from Melbourne, Australia. I love that you love Australia So much. I grew up & live in the Eastern Suburbs. It takes about 30 minutes to drive to Mount Dandenong from where I live. The kids would love Healesville Sanctuary in Healesville where they have lots of Animals. Brighton is an expensive area. The Beach boxes cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to purchase. Owners are not allowed to sleep in them. Their also not allowed to rent them out. Firbank Grammer is a expensive school. Most schools here are teaching children about the environment. They also teach them about growing food, & they have veggie gardens the schools have set up. The kids learn about the soil & what they are planting, & have to look after it. They pick the veggies when they are ready, & are taught different ways to prepare & cook them. The kindergarten (For 3 & 4 year olds) in my street have their own veggie garden. Some schools even have chickens. Hope everyone stays safe.🇦🇺

Ian, have a look in the pennies for a 1930 penny or a 1936 penny with the head of King Edward VIII. If you find one, you will not have to worry about the cost of flying your family to Australia.

[@bernadettelanders7306]

My mother and myself searched for years for a 1930 penny. My son collected coins when younger and the man who owned the coin shop said every 1930 penny has been found 😩, but he has one 😁 . They must be with a fortune. Mum and I were looking for one from about the 1970s.

That first lot of coins look like pennys and they were used before 1966 when we used Pounds shilling and pence . Back then a pound was made up of twenty shillings and there were twelve pennys in a shilling . There were 240 pennys in a pound and some of those old pennys are worth a lot of money. looks like you have some old half pennys too There are some videos made in 1966 showing how Australia changed from pounds shillings and pence to dollars and cents

Really nice to see you guys embrace our Australian culture. You might end up being the only Americans with an Australian cultural museum and Bathurst/Touring car exhibition in your house ! Where do you put all that stuff ! It's very cute to see your little ones sitting with you at the table chowing down on different snacks, nice little family and a cool grandpa Pedro. If you ever make it to Aus' you would be welcomed with open arms I'm sure, but you would need a good couple months to take your time to experience all that we have here just in Victoria, beautiful rainforests, country Hospitality and river front camping grounds, mountain ranges and native wildlife at Healesville Sanctuary etc. And it doesn't have to cost you much at all if you get local knowledge. (Just ask your viewers) Hope you can make it some day. Great content through challenging times. Troy from VICTORIA
