It did not take a lot to invent a warm boot on a cold winter's day when you are surrounded by sheep skins (Ryan, Australia has more sheep than kangaroos and people combined).
They were used by early shepherds and any modern person in cold south-east regions and further north high country areas and also WW11 Australian pilots.

The full irony is that the inventor (or someone soon after) did try to copyright Ugg boots but the authorities said, “You can’t copyright that, it’s a TYPE of boot, not an individual unique style!” The US should never have let their company do it. Iggerent savages!
Hi Ryan, you are correct; the Australian Capital Territory, as the name suggests, is a territory, not a state. Same with the Northern Territory. There are six states, not eight. So much for 1010 "facts". It's not just Antarctica that is cold. The southern parts of Australia, including Victoria and Tasmania have fairly cold winters. There is also a greater area of snow cover in Australia (in the mountains in winter) than Switzerland. Asian religions? Depends what part of Asia you are from. I think most Hindus would be from the Indian subcontinent, Buddhists in South East and East Asia, Muslims in the Middle East, Central Asia and Indonesia (except Bali; I think they are mainly Hindu), Shinto in Japan, Catholic in the Philippines (except the South, where I think there are Muslims) and I guess there would be people with no religion in lots of these areas. Aussies pronounce Mount Kosciuszko "Koziosko". I presume that is pretty far from how Mr Kosciuszko (a Pole) would have pronounced it. Uluru/Ayers (pronounced "Airs", by the way) is 2,831 ft (863 m) above sea level but only 1141 ft (348 m) above the surrounding plain. Since it is very far from the sea, the latter seems more relevant. Arguably, the title of world's largest rock actually goes to Mount Augustus in Western Australia, which is 2.5 times larger than Uluru. There's a long history of Italian migration to Australia, especially after WWII. 30% of Australians were born overseas, so, yeah, lots of people in Australia speak lots of languages. Some would only speak it at home but there are plenty of Aussies who only speak a non-English language. I am a doctor and we frequently require interpreters for our (mostly, but not always, older) patients. The common languages are Italian, Greek, Vietnamese, various Chinese dialects, Hindi and Arabic.

We have 45k deer in Australia. The red back spider is about the most docile spider you will come across, because everything around it is terrified of it, it is really quite placid and not remotely aggressive. The funnel web is aggressive, it will chase you.
Spider bite deaths are so rare because we have very strong response with antivenom and immediate first aid action. Even children are taught how to deal with a spider bite to immediately slow down the deadly response long enough to get emergency treatment.
Gotta say that Chateau Cardboard was pretty damn good quality for the price back in the day. It was a point of honour for us Aussies bumming around Europe back in the day to disparage the cheap local plonk. Some of it really was vile.
I remember wearing Ugg boots in the early 80s. We wore them as slippers and bought them from the Oak factory (a place that sold flavoured milks) this was a country town. I read that Uggs officially sold from 1978 but have been around since the early 1900s. We wore Ughs inside the house. It was Americans wearing them outside that we didn't quite understand.
Uggs were part of the surf culture worn in the winter when it was cold at the beach they were taken back to California by some US surfers in the 70s a shoe manufacturer over there registered the name UGG and started marketing them worldwide as their own. They are actually traditional sheepskin footwear originally worn by sheep farmers in Australia in the early 1900s. I am 68 and wore uggs that a mates old man used to make for us back in the 60s. Australia and NZ manufactures can no longer market their products anywhere outside of these 2 countries using the name UGG Boot - when you have Americans as friends who needs enemies.
These place name pronunciations are incorrect.... poor video unfortunately. Also there are only 6 States, the Territories do not count as States due to their low populations.
Hmmm, not quite. They are classed as Territories because although self-governing they cannot pass laws independendly. They submit any legislative or legal amendments, changes or additions to Canberra for approval
@@Jeb.07despite what is official. Those around my area still refer to 6 states and 2 territories. Might be a regional thing. Though we still consider NT and ACT as equal parts of Australia
@@Jeb.07 "to the average Aussie there is 0 difference between a state and territory" So you're saying that an average Aussie is ignorant of the difference? What do they teach them in school these days? The states are the original British colonies that united to form a federation. They are fully self-governing, not subject to Canberra. The territories are under the control of Canberra, which has granted them a fair degree of self-government, but they remain subject to Canberra. Then there are the external territories, including Christmas Island and the Australian Antarctic Territory.
In Australia we pronounce it like this. Kozzie osco. Though it is spelled in a different manner. I hope this helps. I love your channel Ryan, and I seem to watch your releases daily.
Not everywhere is 100 degrees! A lot of places get down to single digits and below in winter, we have plenty of sheep so the Ugg boot makes sense. There was actually a trademark dispute between Australia and the US about it as the original trademark in Australia was for Ugh -boot not Ugg-Boot.
I think you are mixing units, Ryan never remembers that Oz is metric (just like he never remembers how to pronounce "emu"), he was obviously using Fahrenheit when saying 100 degrees and single digits and below would be
@@vtbn53 I also did a quick google out of interest.....The lowest minimum temperature was −23.0 °C (−9.4 °F) at Charlotte Pass on 29 June 1994 in the Snowy Mountains.

Thunder Storm Asthma is a bit more recent thing that happens when the weather is warm and there’s been a lot of pollen in the air probably from winds I think and we have thunder storms.

@@StephenMcGregor1986 I grew up on a property and at 9years old would catch snakes for the CSIRO {Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation} in Canberra Australia, for their research. Was good pocket money! Later in life I became a Park Ranger in Canberra, ACT Parks and Conservation. Many relocations of snakes and education of snakes to school children etc. Loved it, but I'm far too slow nowadays haha 🙄
In primary school we had a huge rock wall on our school oval that was filled with red back spiders, and no, we weren’t in remote country, this school was about 5 min car ride from Brisbane CBD. One person got bitten on the arse by one once, they didn’t die. We just learn to live with crazy dangerous animals lol.
Some immigrants speak their own language at home and English when they need to. I used to live in an area where there were a lot of Italians and when I went to the supermarket, the customers and staff all spoke Italian to each other and called me "Signora". 😊

The Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territories aren’t States (clue,the word “Territory” gives it away). They are self-governed, but are under the authority of the Commonwealth Government.
Ugg boots began in 1933 in the Blue Mountains (west of Sydney), although Australians have been wearing sheepskin boots since the 19th century. They were particularly popular among Aussie surfers in the 1970s.
You did pretty well with Mount Kosciuszko (though I think that bloke was joking.) My Polish friends say something like "ko-SHOO-skoe", but most Australians say, "kozzie-USS-koe". With people who speak languages other than English, we don't have anything quite akin to what you seem to have in the US, where an entire village or district is German or Japanese speaking or whatever -- apart from a couple of towns like Hahndorf in South Australia (a lovely town, by the way) where German and Wendish speakers escaping religious persecution in Germany in the 1870s and 1880s settled. But these languages are no longer widely spoken there. After WWII a lot of migrants came from Europe. Where I lived there were lots of Italians and Maltese, but they would settle among the older Australians. For example, you might find three streets in a town which were maybe 70% Poles and Czechs, mixed together, 25% Anglo Australians, and a the rest immigrants from England -- then the next few streets might be 60% Anglo-Australians, 30% immigrants from England and 10^ Italians. Where the Italians and Maltese often came from rural situations, and many went into small farming (which was what brought them to my town, which had areas not unlike Tuscany at the time) more of the Germans. Dutch, Poles, Czechs were from urban backgrounds and tended to settle in suburbs where they could afford to buy. They often set up clubs, were active in churches, started small businesses to cater for their ethnic groups, but rarely tried to live in ethnospecific geographical groupings.
Hey Ryan from South Australia 😊. Languages of all sorts are everywhere. Try to avoid driving kangaroo (especially red) and emu's. Oh Ryan you need to experience Australia 🌏🦘 you, your wife and baby Ryan.
We have 6 states and multiple territories, the Northern Territory and the ACT are just the two largest. He's mispronouncing both names of Uluru/Ayers rock. And he mis-pronounced the mountain name too. Love his terminology for the spiders "Except for the guy who died no-one died.". The alcohol cliché about America is that you all love this stuff that you THINK is a beer, tastes like urine, but you still somehow manage to get drunk and stupid off it. :)
Yeah, we were wearing "Ugg" boots in the 1970's Ryan, men and women both, (I had a favourite pair back in my school days) we know they caught on much much later around the world but, for us, they were "old hat" (sorry about the clothing related pun)
Emu is like an overgrown Turkey 🤣 There are loads of them roaming wild not too far from my location but I don't shoot them for food. It's just nice to see them.
I used to catch redback spiders by hand as a kid when I found them in my bedroom. Have also had an eastern brown snake crawl out of the palm frond I was moving in my backyard a few years ago. I live in one of the big cities. And it's pronounced Cozzy osko.
My family emigrated to Australia in 1968 when I was 11 years old. The population in that year hit 12 million but has now more than doubled to an estimated 27 million (as you mentioned).
Haha Ryan, I am not going to bore you with 1 hour video, so I am going to make you watch it for 2 days : P That my friend is how it's done, he is becoming more Australian every day. Reminds me of videos we had to watch way back in school, the teacher would say, ok kids we are going to watch a 'short' documentary video, half a day in class later, sorry that is all we have time for today we will continue the video tomorrow : P It would be nice to have snow for our Christmas, but as Aussies, we love our BBQ, so our Christmas party's are still fun, and can be enjoyed outside in the nice come mess my skin up sun, plenty of meat cooking and drinking, so much so we forget it's Christmas : ) and we repeat over the Christmas holidays and up to and beyond New Years. I agree, if you want to learn about Australia, have it heard from an Australian, not someone who has never been to Australia, this has to be someone who was born and raised in Australia possible someone who has travelled to many locations to see and witness culture and proper state names.
Was walking home from school down a steep hill in a reasonably dense suburb. In order to not walk on the road, i'd walk between the high fences and the power pole, slapping the pole as i walk past like any good kid does. My head is very very itchy for no reason so i raise both hands, almost as of i'm boxing as i walk between one particular thick wooden power pols and a tall wooden fence. BAM i instantly stop as i felt the very recognisable feel for spider web all over my outer arms. Giant spider about with a body the size of an adult fist and legs big enough to touch both my arms. It was clearly female because all it's babies were shaken off the web since it took a split second to stop moving. I have no idea why it didn't jump on me, but I became shirtless very quickly as i was running and even though i got them off me quickly (the swarm seemed too young to bite), i felt them in my hair for the entire afternoon/night. Enjoy the nightmares, i did.
People forget that snakes are more afraid of people than the other way around. If you don't walk softly the vibrations in the ground scare them away. (Doesn't help if come in you home or shed).
Oi Ryan!! I like your relaxed attitude to watching this video!! In my homeland of Aussie, I feel the need to ask, “ARE YOU PISSED MATE?” If so, good onya and I think you need a couple more mate!!!! 👍🍺
My fathers friend started making ugg boats back in the early 60s he got a pattern on them and made a fortune by the 70s they were every where his na.e was Kevin savage
Did you know that in Australian school you can learn Japanese Spanish French and depending on the area you can speak some indigenous languages Chinese and yeah depending on the school you go to
Melbourne has a high Italian population. Pretty sure they’re the ones speaking Italian. As all the other nationalities would be speaking their languages amongst them selves. Some omens them are also taught in schools. My kids learnt Japanese and Indonesian. Yes we eat both of the animals on our emblem, emus not as common as kangaroo.
LOL! The person who died from a spider bite in 2016 was probably an American tourist! 😂😂. In fact, it was Jayden Burleigh, 22, who was treated in hospital for four days and released. Two days later he died, but the spider has never bern confirmed as the actual cause of his death.
They forgot to mention that it was the Emu's that won the war 😅 Ugg boots are needed in some parts of Aus. The Southernmost states get pretty cold in winter, especially Tassie.
Re: languages spoken….it is more about what language is spoken in the home than publicly….i am married to an Italian (born in Australia from Italian parents). He was sent to Italian lessons as a child…but didn’t do well enough to get us though a trip to Italy a few year ago! Lol but he is seen as Italian! I was born in Denmark and spoke Swedish and Danish when I came to Australia, but my parents discouraged anything other than English….so I only speak English now, but I my original languages would be considered 2 of those many languages ‘spoken’ in Australia. Everyone who has decided to make this amazing country home are different….but this is my story. Ps….we are an open country, our arms are open to all who want to call Australia home, contribute to it and love it. You have elections that are pretty terrifying in one 2 weeks. I predict that if Trump wins a lot of US citizens will want to leave and eventually ‘flee’. Please consider Australia as a safe and welcoming alternative. We understand how hard this is, and we will love and support you all the way.
Uggs - I wear uggs year round at night time - tad warm during summer but still wear. Plus during other 6 months I wear as fashion during day - they look pretty good u no - the knee high black ones anyway.

He discovered the helmets and equipment left by the first Europeans - the Portugese in 1520! I'm sure he has many maps! He was born in PNG, and at age 88 he's still exploring and also runs a Maritime museum in Qld!
@@jenniferharrison8915 Just a tip, go easier on the exclamation marks, they make you look a bit hysterical and over eager to convince. None of the information you've given has anything to do with the possibility of anyone making it from Zambia in bark boats.
There's estimated to be some where near 10000 different species of spiders in Australia, not 1500. . The anti vemon for funnel web spiders was developed and first used in the early 80s, and the antivenom for red backs created in the 50s. This would be the primary factor that there hasn't been more deaths.

We have 45k deer in Australia. The red back spider is about the most docile spider you will come across, because everything around it is terrified of it, it is really quite placid and not remotely aggressive. The funnel web is aggressive, it will chase you.
It’s estimated there are around 2 million feral deer in Australia
@@Dr_KAPThat's a much closer estimate! At the rate they can breed, my freezer will never be empty. 👍
30 deer can grow to 500+ in a decade. At last (closely estimated, mid-2023) count, there were over 2 million feral deer in NSW alone.
So will the Wolf spider at times.
Sneaky too. It'll wait at the bottom of the pool, hiding under a leaf, until an unsuspecting swimmer comes near...
Scrolling through the comments before the video's even started, and I'm not hopeful...
You should do a show about Australian inventions. There is a lot. Being so far away from the rest of the world we had to invent to survive
Would be cool, like for example the CSIRO helped to create WiFi
Agreed
Spider bite deaths are so rare because we have very strong response with antivenom and immediate first aid action. Even children are taught how to deal with a spider bite to immediately slow down the deadly response long enough to get emergency treatment.
Lots of people speak Italian in Australia due to large immigration post war. Someone I used to work with her mother only spoke Italian
True, I know of a number of elderly Italians, usually the women who have lived out here for fifty plus years and can barely speak a word of English.
Cows roam freely especially is the Kimberley where there are huge cattle station. They wander on the roads which cause car accidents.
they are also massive and spook easily so you could end up trampled. that being said, cows are awesome animals. they are very playful and curious.
At the 2021 Australian census, 1,108,364 people nominated Italian ancestry
Wine in a box is called cask wine or for those who want to be classy - Chateau Cardboard.
Or for the more Aussie of us, the goon bag...

Gotta say that Chateau Cardboard was pretty damn good quality for the price back in the day. It was a point of honour for us Aussies bumming around Europe back in the day to disparage the cheap local plonk. Some of it really was vile.

Love when u upload !!! always look forward to what i can learn about my own country lolol
SO TRUE!
I remember wearing Ugg boots in the early 80s. We wore them as slippers and bought them from the Oak factory (a place that sold flavoured milks) this was a country town. I read that Uggs officially sold from 1978 but have been around since the early 1900s. We wore Ughs inside the house. It was Americans wearing them outside that we didn't quite understand.
Uggs were part of the surf culture worn in the winter when it was cold at the beach they were taken back to California by some US surfers in the 70s a shoe manufacturer over there registered the name UGG and started marketing them worldwide as their own. They are actually traditional sheepskin footwear originally worn by sheep farmers in Australia in the early 1900s. I am 68 and wore uggs that a mates old man used to make for us back in the 60s. Australia and NZ manufactures can no longer market their products anywhere outside of these 2 countries using the name UGG Boot - when you have Americans as friends who needs enemies.
And nobody in Oz was ALLOWED to copyright them because they’d been endemic for so long
The man with the spider bite from 2016 actually died from a secondary infection, not the spider bite itself. And he wasn't that well to begin with.

@@RJM56 Yeah Australia doesn't really pronounce his name correctly.
Uluru/Ayers Rock's pronunciation really grated on me!
@@Zygon13 We don't pronounce his name at all. We pronounce the name of our mountain. ☺
@@Bellas1717 ... that was named to honour him. The mountain wouldn't have the name without the man.
These place name pronunciations are incorrect.... poor video unfortunately. Also there are only 6 States, the Territories do not count as States due to their low populations.
Hmmm, not quite. They are classed as Territories because although self-governing they cannot pass laws independendly. They submit any legislative or legal amendments, changes or additions to Canberra for approval
@@robertclothier3597 Yes, that sounds much more detailed... will the NT ever become a State? Maybe one day.
I still refer to them as states often, to the average Aussie there is 0 difference between a state and territory
@@Jeb.07despite what is official. Those around my area still refer to 6 states and 2 territories. Might be a regional thing. Though we still consider NT and ACT as equal parts of Australia
@@Jeb.07
"to the average Aussie there is 0 difference between a state and territory"
So you're saying that an average Aussie is ignorant of the difference? What do they teach them in school these days?
The states are the original British colonies that united to form a federation. They are fully self-governing, not subject to Canberra. The territories are under the control of Canberra, which has granted them a fair degree of self-government, but they remain subject to Canberra.
Then there are the external territories, including Christmas Island and the Australian Antarctic Territory.
In Australia we pronounce it like this. Kozzie osco. Though it is spelled in a different manner. I hope this helps. I love your channel Ryan, and I seem to watch your releases daily.
In in my primary school we were taught Italian and even had like Italian days where we would do different Italian things
😂😂😂 Ryan you mentioned the weather down here im in Melbourne your right it is warming up its also pissin rain but its kinda warm

I worked at the place where the Taps for the Boxed Wine where made, the fella sold the world wide rights to it in the 70s or 80s for about $10k, OUCH.
I ended up in the emergency ward during the thunderstorm asthma. It was actually really serious and people died as a result.
I had ugg boots when I was a kid in the 70's. They were big in the 70's.
Not everywhere is 100 degrees! A lot of places get down to single digits and below in winter, we have plenty of sheep so the Ugg boot makes sense. There was actually a trademark dispute between Australia and the US about it as the original trademark in Australia was for Ugh -boot not Ugg-Boot.
I think you are mixing units, Ryan never remembers that Oz is metric (just like he never remembers how to pronounce "emu"), he was obviously using Fahrenheit when saying 100 degrees and single digits and below would be
@@vtbn53 Yes I am - knowingly..... I get single digits (celsius) in winter where I live and we get below as in minus whatever (celsius too) in places

Thunder Storm Asthma is a bit more recent thing that happens when the weather is warm and there’s been a lot of pollen in the air probably from winds I think and we have thunder storms.

Some immigrants speak their own language at home and English when they need to. I used to live in an area where there were a lot of Italians and when I went to the supermarket, the customers and staff all spoke Italian to each other and called me "Signora". 😊

Cossi osko
The Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territories aren’t States (clue,the word “Territory” gives it away). They are self-governed, but are under the authority of the Commonwealth Government.
Ugg boots began in 1933 in the Blue Mountains (west of Sydney), although Australians have been wearing sheepskin boots since the 19th century. They were particularly popular among Aussie surfers in the 1970s.
You did pretty well with Mount Kosciuszko (though I think that bloke was joking.)
My Polish friends say something like "ko-SHOO-skoe", but most Australians say, "kozzie-USS-koe".
With people who speak languages other than English, we don't have anything quite akin to what you seem to have in the US, where an entire village or district is German or Japanese speaking or whatever -- apart from a couple of towns like Hahndorf in South Australia (a lovely town, by the way) where German and Wendish speakers escaping religious persecution in Germany in the 1870s and 1880s settled. But these languages are no longer widely spoken there.
After WWII a lot of migrants came from Europe. Where I lived there were lots of Italians and Maltese, but they would settle among the older Australians. For example, you might find three streets in a town which were maybe 70% Poles and Czechs, mixed together, 25% Anglo Australians, and a the rest immigrants from England -- then the next few streets might be 60% Anglo-Australians, 30% immigrants from England and 10^ Italians.
Where the Italians and Maltese often came from rural situations, and many went into small farming (which was what brought them to my town, which had areas not unlike Tuscany at the time) more of the Germans. Dutch, Poles, Czechs were from urban backgrounds and tended to settle in suburbs where they could afford to buy.
They often set up clubs, were active in churches, started small businesses to cater for their ethnic groups, but rarely tried to live in ethnospecific geographical groupings.
Hey Ryan from South Australia 😊. Languages of all sorts are everywhere. Try to avoid driving kangaroo (especially red) and emu's. Oh Ryan you need to experience Australia 🌏🦘 you, your wife and baby Ryan.

Yeah, we were wearing "Ugg" boots in the 1970's Ryan, men and women both, (I had a favourite pair back in my school days) we know they caught on much much later around the world but, for us, they were "old hat" (sorry about the clothing related pun)

I agree, if you want to learn about Australia, have it heard from an Australian, not someone who has never been to Australia, this has to be someone who was born and raised in Australia possible someone who has travelled to many locations to see and witness culture and proper state names.
The consensus would ask what each citizen is their first language. Hence the result.
Was walking home from school down a steep hill in a reasonably dense suburb. In order to not walk on the road, i'd walk between the high fences and the power pole, slapping the pole as i walk past like any good kid does. My head is very very itchy for no reason so i raise both hands, almost as of i'm boxing as i walk between one particular thick wooden power pols and a tall wooden fence. BAM i instantly stop as i felt the very recognisable feel for spider web all over my outer arms. Giant spider about with a body the size of an adult fist and legs big enough to touch both my arms. It was clearly female because all it's babies were shaken off the web since it took a split second to stop moving. I have no idea why it didn't jump on me, but I became shirtless very quickly as i was running and even though i got them off me quickly (the swarm seemed too young to bite), i felt them in my hair for the entire afternoon/night. Enjoy the nightmares, i did.
Not me in Australia sweating whilst watching this
0nly 6 states and 2 internal territories. Uluru is not the largest rock in Australia. It is the second largest.
Mt Augustus. WA forever.
It’s just not as accessible, doesn’t have a big town only 300 flat k’s away.
People forget that snakes are more afraid of people than the other way around.
If you don't walk softly the vibrations in the ground scare them away. (Doesn't help if come in you home or shed).

Melbourne has a high Italian population. Pretty sure they’re the ones speaking Italian. As all the other nationalities would be speaking their languages amongst them selves. Some omens them are also taught in schools. My kids learnt Japanese and Indonesian.
Yes we eat both of the animals on our emblem, emus not as common as kangaroo.
LOL! The person who died from a spider bite in 2016 was probably an American tourist! 😂😂. In fact, it was Jayden Burleigh, 22, who was treated in hospital for four days and released. Two days later he died, but the spider has never bern confirmed as the actual cause of his death.
They forgot to mention that it was the Emu's that won the war 😅 Ugg boots are needed in some parts of Aus. The Southernmost states get pretty cold in winter, especially Tassie.
Re: languages spoken….it is more about what language is spoken in the home than publicly….i am married to an Italian (born in Australia from Italian parents). He was sent to Italian lessons as a child…but didn’t do well enough to get us though a trip to Italy a few year ago! Lol but he is seen as Italian!
I was born in Denmark and spoke Swedish and Danish when I came to Australia, but my parents discouraged anything other than English….so I only speak English now, but I my original languages would be considered 2 of those many languages ‘spoken’ in Australia.
Everyone who has decided to make this amazing country home are different….but this is my story.

There's estimated to be some where near 10000 different species of spiders in Australia, not 1500. . The anti vemon for funnel web spiders was developed and first used in the early 80s, and the antivenom for red backs created in the 50s. This would be the primary factor that there hasn't been more deaths.
