The best aid to male mental health is an Australian idea - The Men' Shed. There are now more Men's Sheds than MacDonald's in Australia. New Zealand, the UK, USA and Canada are catching on to the benefits as well. There's a big one you should visit at Coolum but the biggest with almost 400 members is at Mt Gravatt.

I've moved from The Northern Territory back to my home state South Australia to retire after 50 years in the Tropics - yes SA is hotter than the NT but it's a DRY heat and even water-based air-conditioning systems work well; whereas in the NT only expensive refrigerated AC works well - during Darwin's wet season (only two seasons, The Wet & The Dry) I would towel myself dry after a cold shower, then be dripping wet again from perspiration. I'd forgotten how incredibly quickly clothes dry on the line in SA. Anyway welcome to Orstrylia, mate! If you want to laugh at something sadistically, go to the NT in rare 30°C temperatures to seethe pathetic frozen corpses of pedestrians lying in the streets. I you want to get hit on the head with a nulla nulla in the NT, go round saying "it's not the heat, it's the humidity".

There is a crispness to the light, that you don’t get in Asia and Europe. Hard to explain but it’s there (cleaner air, maybe, but definitely a more sharper vibrant light).

I spent a month on the Gold Coast, staying with an old friend and her family. We spent a few days in Sydney. I could easily live in Australia, and it was so interesting and different. Birds, animals, trees, are different from anything I’d seen. Food and yes, coffee-and pastries-were so delicious. No brand names I recognized. Different housing styles. I’d move there if I could. There are some things that you can’t get there; I was asked to bring Neosporin, chili powder, and some cooking spices. It was expensive, but using an American credit card, I benefited greatly from the exchange rate.

We did a house sit just outside of Ballarat a few years back. It was July, and frost and drizzle was a daily constant. Except for one day when it snowed. I'd look at the weather on the news and see how much "warmer" Melbourne was-it was like Melbourne's minimum was Ballarat's maximum temps. Even as a Queensland resident I think Melbourne people tend to overdress for the cold weather, or maybe they just have more cold weather clothing to wear. I'm in the Scenic Rim/Gold Coast hinterland, where we had constant morning temps of 0 to 5 degrees in June/July but it still got to about 20 degrees during the day.

Compared to Middle East, Turkey, the sun sets earlier in Australia. 7 pm is already dinner finished, while the dinner starts after 8 pm in the former countries. Aussies are health freaks, too. Jogging, exercising at a gym, swimming and all the rest are their daily routine. Healthy food conscience is another trait, while very few Aussies are good cooks. They like buying takeaways. What I love most about living in Australia is people mind their own business so you can enjoy solitude. "Who cares" is acceptable.

Nice video, glad you are settling in well but if there’s one thing that I wish people would stop doing it’s perpetuating the myth that Australians say ‘G’day mate’ on the regular. I don’t, nobody in my family does and nobody I generally associate with does either. But, maybe we’re a bit special in Canberra. If you do say ‘G’mate’ you immediately identify yourself as a tourist or new Australian. So I tell my ESL class - just say ‘Hi’, ‘Hello’, How’s things?’ or ‘Hey, how’re you going?’

Don't feel "entitled" to all that stuff you see around you... That sounds right. You don't get to own a house, pretty soon you won't get to rent a house. Those are for wealthy Australians who haven't arrived yet.

Perhaps it would have been more accurate to say “I gained these habits when I moved to Australia. I also moved from to Australia (from the USA) during the pandemic (January 2021). Nothing has changed with my sleeping habits once the jet lag passed. I’ve never liked coffee so that didn’t change for me either. I don’t use the word mate much yet. I have always offered to bring a dish to someone’s house so that never changed. I’ve been grateful for years. Where are these water stations? I live in Templestowe (Melbourne) and haven’t seen any water stations yet. I have always done wild things like swimming with sharks, fire walking, and bungee jumping. I can’t always shop at at the markets (nor could I where I moved from in California where everything was fresh. My social life and tribe changed radically but how could it not when you move?
