    Blue trees are to support the "Are you OK" drive. They are painted blue by locals, generally in the bush areas to let farmers and others having depression issues that someone cares about them.
    Our mission is to help spark difficult conversations and encourage people to speak up when battling mental health concerns.
    By spreading the paint and spreading the message that "it’s OK to not be OK", we can help break down the stigma that’s still largely attached to mental health.

    Australian here!
    Being barefoot on a regular basis is actually better for your feet's health, provided you ease into it slowly, to build up the skin on your feet and avoid significant injury. My boyfriend has been walking around almost everywhere for about a decade now and his feet are at the point where stepping on the odd broken glass shard doesn't hurt him or even do any damage. He spent five days in the bush for an event and his shoes broke after day one, so he went barefoot the rest of the time and he was running through some rough terrain, stepping on rocks, sticks, roots and more. he was absolutely fine. Better, even! (But keep in mind that his feet are like this because he spent years conditioning them on and off, taking time to rest and recover if they were sore or tender, and wearing shoes when necessary.)

    "Nobody goes to the beach in winter, right?" Actually, bear in mind that Aussie winters might be cold in many areas, but also mild compared with a lot of other places. So there are always a few, even if just surfers.
    It is worth noting that there is a famous swimming club here called 'the Bondi Icebergs', and its major "thing" is coldwater swimming. On the first day of winter, they celebrate the season by loading up their pool with ice and then jumping in for a swim.

    The wages were ridiculously low however. People were struggling just to live in an apartment. That's crazy! Healthcare cost a bomb, you had to tip wait staff because their bosses didn't pay them enough so instead of stringing them up by their thumbs, a tipping culture was used to supplement what is a disgraceful lack of care to employees.

    In Australia we paint trees blue in memory of someone who suicided. We call it this because if we say “commit” suicide we are saying they committed a crime. Wanting to end your own life is not a crime. The blue tree also helps bring awareness to the number of suicides in Australia. We even have a special day once a year called “R U Ok?” Day where we encourage everyone to check in with their families and friends to see how they are doing, and see if they need a listening ear.

    Ah, that "door handle" at 2:58 is actually known as a dead lock. There's no handle for that lock on the outside, so you need a key to get in unless the "handle" part she's twisting is turned far enough that the latch remains retracted. If you lock it from the inside, the "handle" won't turn. It's a fairly effective way to make the door an unviable option for intruders looking for a quick escape, because that front door suddenly turns into a dead end, hence the name "dead lock". (It can still be unlocked and opened from the outside.)
    Most houses in Australia that I've lived in have a dead lock and a regular door handle below it, sometimes with a lock for the handle on the outside and a simple latch on the inside. Almost every house has a screen door as well to keep the flies out while letting a cool breeze in.

    The reason Australian suburban restaurants close before 9:00 is not because they're less greedy than American restaurants.

    South African here: Christmas here in the southern hemisphere is like a red and green version of the 4th of July for Americans. Our academic year ends in Nov/Dec so South African summer holidays are Dec-Jan (many businesses and industries also close over this time), usually about six weeks for school kids. Barbeques, hanging out outside with family and friends, swimming, long days, warm nights. Instead of a fireworks show you have the christmas tree and gifts. Also New Years, if you aren't going to a venue, are sometimes a night time barbeque with friends, getting drunk and enjoying the warm night.

      When the recipe for tomato ketchup was being introduced to the Australian market it was too thick and too sweet for their palates and so they stuck to the local Aussie tomato sauce recipe instead - to this day there is still a company (Heinz) who keeps trying to convince us that we’d like ketchup but we’re definitely too stubborn 😂

      I believe the hours are governed by overtime that should be paid when worked. Occasionally, grocery stores will be open until 9 or 10 pm but that depends on the store and where they are located.
      Thongs are the general footwear here but still need shoes for school and work because of health and safety. If you are a tender foot like me then thongs protect your feet from meltingly hot tarred/bitumen roads and equally as hot sand. I grew up in an era where dressing up to go out was expected. The 60s and 70s was the time when it was “fashionable” for men to spit on the street. Not a delightful habit and certainly made wearing shoes a must. Being missed by one of these thoughtful men was a skill of speed by Mum grabbing us girls out of the way. When the laws were changed these fashionistas had to stop doing it, thankfully.
      Good luck with Canberra (canbra is closer to the pronunciation).
      I do notice that moving from the “UK” to Queensland must be like chalk and cheese. I’m from New South Wales and traditions and cultures there are different too. I was about 30 before I had a salad and cold meats for Christmas dinner. It was a traditional hot roast chicken, lamb, ham and veggies followed by a dessert that had jellies, custard, baked bread and butter custard, and of course ice cream. Temperature was up around 100F, no air con, no ceiling fans. And of course, after that a dash to the other grandparents’ place for their meal. No A/C in the car either. I’m addicted to A/C now. Can’t imagine a summer without it.
      Swearing in Aus is something you get used to or not. Depends on the age of the group, religious fervour and how much grog is involved or how many men are there, etc. I imagine it’s the same around the world. The ‘c’ word I still find deplorable possibly because it is gender specific and even without knowing that, it sounds terrible. The ‘f’ word seems to be far less offensive and sounds applicable in most situations.

    Most pubs and clubs, particularly RSL (Returned Services League) hold events celebrating Christmas Fare and songs, to get that cold Christmas feel. It's been around for about 30 years.

    About Christmas: As a pale redhead from Finland, I miss winter Christmases the most, I think. I can't go out in the sun, and for some years, it's been over 40 degrees Celsius, and I suffer beyond measure. I miss the snow and celebrating on Christmas Eve and going out into the crisp,dark cold air. Hence why I live in Melbourne. It can get hot here but not as bad as up north. Don't get me wrong, Australia is the easiest country to live in in many ways, but I miss Finland and, yes, even the weather. I do not tan and burn terribly.... this makes me sad 😞 lol...

    That door is typical modern front door that are seen in newly built homes. The handle part you saw was a dead lock that's on the door. Normally front doors have a lock in the door as well as a dead lock attached on the back of the door for added security.

    Yes, barefoot is very common in Queensland, where my grandsons often went to junior school barefoot, and learned to play rugby in a junior barefoot league. These habits are customary in NZ and South Africa too (where my senior school mates and I regularly were shoeless). It's only in cold climes, like Europe and N America that kids wear shoes on a regular basis.

      ah, I just realised something. I was watching a video on holistic grazing from Africa & there were negative comments on it, as usual with that subject matter, but one of the big attacks I didn't get was about Allan being bare foot & how he was going to get tapeworms & stuff. Coming from Australia & being barefoot all the time, I thought it was weird & also wondered if maybe there was tapeworm issues or something there, or if they were just looking for excuses to attack him (as the opponents do), now it makes sense to me, the people making those comments probably had the same reaction Ryan's face did in this video & probably legit were freaked out seeing barefoot, cause it's not normal to them. I totally misread it lol
      & wish I had been allowed to go to school barefoot in NSW! School was the ONLY time I ever wore shoes as a kid! We HAD to wear them & I always hated it

      We didn't use shoes in the summer in eastern europe, but just for vacation time, going to river, or around the yard; going to school or anywhere semi serious we still used shoes even if it was over 30 degrees. So i think it's not just a weather thing.

      @@mehere8038 In the rainy season on the Indian Ocean coast of East and Southern Africa, there are paracites which can infect the feet. Tapeworm isn't normally acquired this way, but the biggest issue is with poor hygiene creating foot sores conducive to roundworm and hookworm, and sometimes fungal infections. Good foot washing practices minimises these dangers, however, which exist in tropical climates the world over, even in the southern US states.

      In NSW you'll see it a lot in beachside suburbs where people commonly drop into a supermarket on their way home from the beach, often barefoot or in thongs. It's frankly safer to drive barefoot than wearing thongs, too, so I don't blame them.
