What is so Good About Australia?

[@fatdoi003]

2:30 "it's just like an Australian language basically"...... gee girl that sentence you sounded so Australian, the tone the accent & use of words..... spot on!

[@Preview43]

I'm in an outer suburb of Melbourne and my backyard has high fences surrounded by other homes with high fences. I never once thought I'd ever come home and have to figure out how to get a giant kangaroo out of my yard. Don't even know how it got in unless it parachuted. Ended up having to call the ranger who shot a dart in its arse and made it sleepy so we could drag it through the house and out into the van. Never a dull moment in Australia.

[@steelcrown7130]

I love the fact that when you talked about the costs of owning a car you included "rego" without hesitating a second :-)

[@TheNakedWombat]

Because roo is delicious and healthy. And coffee, yes, coffee is the source of life. Our issue with Sydney transport is about easy public transport crashes with a little rain because governments have neglected the infrastructure and, other issues such as how much longer it takes. For example, to travel from one side of Penrith to another easily takes longer than a single train ride into Sydney because nothing is designed to meet up, including buses departing just as trains arrive or just before. The Hills is a wealthy electorate so politicians care. You got to see the inner realms of the mid-suburbs line where politicians despise all life on the outer line.

Love your vids about living in Oz. Having spent many vacations in the US, I can vouch for Sydney having better public transit than many of them, but Melbourne beats Sydney for public transit, coffee, food, and shopping. I grew up in The Gong and lived in Sydney just over 12 years before moving to Melbourne - I miss catching the bus over the Harbour Bridge in the morning on the way to work, coming out of the City Circle on the train and seeing the harbour spread out from Circular Quay (have brekkie early (7:30 or so) at Wynyard, then get the train through from Wynyard to Museum around 8am and it's just gorgeous!); I miss having the Blue Mountains so close; I miss being able to get a decent omelette (fave omelette in Australia is still the ones I used to get from Wynstop at Wynyard station in the mornings...). Where will you be ending up back in the States?

[@emohruo7996]

Melbourne has a big muddy brown river going through it

[@melbclayman]

Emoh Ruo - Exactly: muddy brown river, not shimmering blue harbour. I give Sydney props for a much prettier waterfront...

[@lindasmith7423]

I live in Perth and visited Sydney and other Eastern cities, I guess it's about what lifestyle you like. For example I live 5 min walk from the beach, 15 minutes drive from city. Yes Perth is isolated and less population, but I like the laid back lifestyle and good food

[@peterbreis5407]

@@paulcooper5748 What's unique about parking and speeding fines? and America is as full of red tape bullshit as anywhere. In fact I got fed up with their constant "Stand in line!!!!". They have to be the most pushed around and cowed people ever! Land of the Free? Don't make me laugh! As to being being cheaper? Only for things made in Asia like clothes, and ONLY if you don't add up all the (many) taxes and tips that they load on everything. Food is rarely fresh, extremely processed and saturated with salt and sugar to hide just how bad it is. Fruit and vegetables cost the same in lbs and US$ as in Australia in kg and A$. Junk food is cheap and nasty because of government subsidies to keep the working poor fat, the equivalent of slave plantation breadfruit and hominy grits. If you can't do the maths to work out the real cost of anything in America, join the club, you are as bad as the Septic Tanks.

[@TheMimiSard]

Australia's coffee culture is so high because we had a huge pile of Greek and Italian immigrants. Those are ancestral coffee countries. Kangaroos in the backyard is something mostly experienced by farmers. I remember a friend of Mum's in the 90s who had a small farm an hour's drive out of Lismore often had roos in the lower padocks. The award winning documentary "Faces In The Mob" was filmed in his town. I think sloppy eating ettiquette may be a side effect of our laidback attitude. Not a beach person myself, but I respect how many great beaches we have. Yep, lazy in talk, not in walk (unless you're me). Sydney is a huge place. It also basically has reached all the mountains around it, swallowing the intervening towns in the process (Paramatta, Blacktown, Penrith). My Mum once said it would only be about 30 or 40 years before it would be basically all suburbia right from Sydney to Newcastle. The people she was chatting with laughed, but she was right. Basically all the Central Coast towns have spread out enough to touch each other, with only minor breaks of Kuringai and other national park areas breaking it up. The cafes are all part of coffee culture. One of the first things immigrants get into is opening food places. Cafes are part of that, and with our aforementioned Greek and Italian ethnic groups, coffee! Glad it feels healthy. Whenever I go to Sydney (which is not often and will be less now my Dad has decided he wants to live in North Queensland) I have found the trains really useful. The last few times I have also availed myself of a couple of the harbour ferries (Manly and Taronga). They do pretty good. Here in Brisbane, I don't use the trains much but I feel the buses are pretty good. Meanwhile, did you pick up an Australianism with "Rego"?

[@TheMimiSard]

Okay, my mistake. The impression I have is that one of the earlier migrant groups brought in good coffee making skills, and that's why we have a huge cafe culture.

[@lifelongbachelor3651]

our defacto coffee culture is courtesy of italian migration. greek coffee is not as nice.
