Lucky someone mentioned the drop bears. Didn't want the tourists watching this to think they were fake.
mandy_suraj I don’t know if your joking
@@zephyr1327 LOL!!!
Totally, I was about being disappointed that the whole video would hide this extremely dangerous animal. Huge relief at the end if you ask me.
They really need to stop telling tourists they are fake they're going to get tourists killed
Everyone forgets about the landsharks until it is too late.
I died six times from snake bite last year - but shit the health care is top rate, so it evens itself out I suppose
You are a lucky person to live in australia where healthcare is free
i know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Mauricio Jakob instablaster =)
@Deshawn Enrique i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Deshawn Enrique it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out!
I am from the US and have been to Australia three times. It is a ridiculously safe society.
ikr
#GunLaws
The tragedy is; it's not "ridiculously" safe, because this is how all First-World societies should be. The challenge for visitors is to go back home & ask themselves why their own countries don't measure up. For myself, i don't wish to go anywhere else anymore, because I'm frankly allergic to Bullshit.
If you’re white/a tourist. Not if you’re Aboriginal…
@@coconutthebunny3152 it is and it isn’t…
The real dangers are the mosquitoes
No I’m not your dad fr tho
I’m in Australia and it’s so safe here especially Melbourne
Great health care, great schools, clean air and beautiful beaches. What more could you ask for .
Cheaper coke!
That’s nice and all but… Uh, not abuse, torture, murder and other police crimes against Aboriginal people? More people to go vegan so the flooding would stop and not come back worse? For a start…
@@shaunraymond5615 someone is completely missing the point and needs to look past the tip of his nose…
@@Cassxowary someone needs to understand a joke!
better wifi is all lol
Australia is not dangerous! (in my opinion as a citizen) I feel safer here than anywhere else in the world :) I would highly recommend coming here!
Yeah but isn't there so many deadly animals? Its all ppl seem to focus on lol
@@luisfabricioserranotorres2573 yes there are. Many. But most of these dangerous animals are in the outback. If you have common sense, you wouldn’t go there. And the shark attacks, although we have the most shark attacks, they are mostly from surfers, along with some of our beaches containing shark nets, preventing the danger. It’s the safest place, happy to live here.
You went all around the world and found out that you will feel safer in australia wah beta wah
@@asish6281 ?
@@asianserenadr7776 lmao, my dad was a truck driver and remember hearing stories about how he ran over kangaroos and emus on long drives and I’m like: “wait so how are these things dangerous again?”
The creatures which suck the most blood are the pollies
Safe? Of course it is! The only time you see a gun is when a drop bear gets angry
Everyone forgets about the landsharks until it is too late.
i live in tasmania, australia, its like any other place, theres good places and bad places, but for the most part its pretty safe
It is, if you’re white and not Aboriginal.
@@Cassxowary true true
@@Cassxowary Are Australians racist? I don't often hear that they are. I'm black so I was just curious.
what are the so called "bad places" in Australia to avoid?
I'm in aus but now there is now tons of fire now so hopefully we will be ok
We are ok
I can't believe it has been 1 year
Yeah we will probably get a cyclone and it will be out in no time.
It's so safe i would run around dressed as Tarzan and footrace young Kangaroos.
yes
From a convict country to a safe country - WINNING 🤔😂
I wouldn’t be so sure about that… I mean it’s great in many ways but still has a lot of problems like all the police crimes against aboriginals, the Middle East warring…
English are the convicts shipped to Australia because they have no behaviour in the UK.
I think something like 1 person has died from a spider bite in Australia in the last 40 years. Snakes are a different story, 2 people die a year, but you have to be unlucky or stupid to get bitten by one. You are MUCH more likely to die from an animal encounter with a horse, cow or kangaroo while driving down an outback road.
And a lot of snake bites are while working on farms. Very rare in the city.
And even then it’s self-defence
Yeah. We have the most deadly sea creature in the world and we have the mist deadly spider, also 3 of the deadliest snakes and the drop bears but just be cautious of yourself! Don’t go around by yourself at night. always stay in between the flags when you at the beach! Lifeguards are always out there to check where it is safe. If you approach one of the creatures, just move away slowly and don’t panic. In my opinion Australia is super safe, you just need to be careful! Also at the moment we have dangerous fires here so I don’t think now would be the best time to come to Australia (if your coming to New South Wales, which is were I live)
and we got coronavirus :(
@@jc9422 everybodys got corona virus except for new zealand

@@lavender5469 not now
How can a tourist avoid deadly spider or snakes? Or they are just everywhere and you can't avoid them?
2:00 exactly, it used to be even safer
It's a great feeling for you Australian
ask them to live in west side of melbourne walk in the night time and ask them do they feel safe few months later
go to Manila Saturday night - that's the base line
Over All yeah it’s pretty safe but in some places it’s pretty rough I’m not saying that it’s gang land I’m just saying that there are dangerous areas like the uk
Dangerous thing in austraila is eshays
I live in the United States and we have some dangerous animals here but when I went to visit Australia I saw so many different types of snakes there.
Lol
I take them on walks
At a reptile park, I bet. Whilst they are everywhere, unless you live in the bush, actual sightings of snakes are rare. There, but not seen. Interactions with snakes , especially in cities are even rarer. Just like in the US.
We do have occasional snakes around but they leave you alone if you don’t bother them.
I would rather see an Aussie snake than a bear, coyote or big cat.
Yes, they’re beautiful and fascinating creatures
Darwin may not have crocodiles in their streets, but Cairns get a few coming out from the drains on occasion.
Toilet
@@lavender5469 funny, I meant storm water drains.
Mark Sposito funny. Yes
@@lavender5469 are you Japanese?
Mark Sposito I am pakistan I will sacrifice my life for Pakistan
Cities, pretty safe. Outback, not so safe.
I never want to leave Australia. I feel so fortunate to be here
You are
Even though I was born in Thailand, moved at Australia when I was prob 1 years old, I’m not Thai, I’m English.
Girl with black sweater and glasses looks gorgeous
So does your grandpa
I'd do that....👍 For Australia tho...🇦🇺
Aaiiieee!...You are the one who needs glasses!
I mean I have arachnophobia so I’m never going there
So I was born in Australia and have not heard of drop bears. I live in the country and yes we have spiders which I can kill with insect spray . We also have snakes but have lived here for thirty years and haven't been bitten. I would much rather live here than anywhere else. I think most countries would have things that are dangerous
Yes ,Dumbo here really thought overseas people thought there were drop bears. Saw a wallaby the other morning while out walking. Can't remember last time I saw one, but I am in the hinterland
@@judyboast4020 shhh don’t ruin it with the stop bears 😂 but seriously, wildlife is harmless if you leave them be
And it’s a great and safe country… if you’re white and not Aboriginal… and don’t do stupid things like bother wildlife…
One chuckle Australia is an Asian country. Australia is part of Oceania which is a region of Islands in the South Pacific of which Australia, though a continent in it's own right is the largest. Interesting interviews.
1:17 cough Bankstown cough
Yes
Mt Druit...cough, cough...
Cough Cough Central Coast Cough
It's good to see that you guys are still supporting the tobacco industry.
Yeahhh Bankstown
Don't go to "The Valley" at night if you're female LOL
Watch out for dem eshay lads.
Compared to the pickpockets and scammers in other capitals, it is much safer in Australia.
Yes but it also still has a lot of police crime against Aboriginals, and more… great in many ways but also a lot of problems…
The only problem is drugs, drunk people, some arguments happen with swearing, but I never feel endangered when I'm, walking on the street.
I thought drugs were very illegal in Australia
Even if they are illigel, people still take them anyways because people are stupid.
Have the same issues in the UK
No bikes = No crime. Daniel Morcombe means everyone is SUPER vigilant of children and there are no "bad" suburbs. The valley is crawling with cops now it's being gentrified and it's so much safer. I used to live in red hill and I could walk from Brunswick to my front door. All 10 of the local homeless people would go get the cops if they ever saw me being harassed and I did that walk for like 4 years. Drive 2 hours inland though and it's getting real methy. Australia is very much like that.
Found the whitest person here!
Bikes keep you healthy and don’t destroy the ozone layer and more, along with animal products.
And it’s safe because you’re white and not aboriginal. You’d have a completely different opinion otherwise, being in constant danger for your family to have always been here.
Definitely is bad suburbs
what they dont say about shark rate deaths is that there are 3-4 times as many serious injury attacks per death, also take into account how many beach closures we have around the country due to sharks, if they are missed... ill leave you to figure that out. stay out of the water
More like most are harmless, and you’ve got a bigger chance of dying crushed by a vending machine. But better safe than sorry.
Stay out of mount druitt and neighbouring suburbs and you'll be perfectly fine
Safe, safe, safe. Thank you Australia for making your country such a safe place to live :)
It is. If you’re white and not Aboriginal…
Australia doesn't belong to whites it belongs to the Aborigines indigneos people of the land.
No black people and Indians in this survey. Their opinions had to be included. Maybe in part 2 video. Cheers
Australia and the UK are very racist towards blacks and Indians.
If you bounce around playing kangaroo you are more likely to be eaten.
I would hope so I've been telling my mom that it is one one the safest places in the world so I can go there.
The drop bears are a serious problem, though.
even though there are drop bears australia is an amazing country :D i live here lol :))))))))))
I work on the Sydney Harbour bridge... My job is to knock them off.. if you come here and see that there are none on the bridge, I've done a very good job..👍
It is if you’re white and not aboriginal and leave wildlife be
And not consume animal products
Reality versus myth: Australia is .. the safest country .. in the world, like New Zealand, but a continent more space ... with NOTHING to bother you. Just remember large cities are like most large cities everywhere.
Even our large cities are a lot safer than other large cities around the world.
That’s the myth and the reality is, it’s safe if you’re white and not aboriginal and vegan and just plain not stupid…
@@leannewith3 if you’re white and not aboriginal
I'm well travelled and yes of course no country is perfect but Australia is one of the best from my own experience. I'm Australian but I won't be biased with my comment. It's very safe. I'm a young female. I often go out/come home late but never feel not safe/threatened. The streets are clean, even in the city. If you compare Sydney CBD with downtown major US cities where rubbish and homelessness is prevalent, you'll be grateful as Australian. I can even compare the cleanliness between major Australian cities CBD with clean Japanese cities. Not to mention healthcare system is decent, school quality is great, decent living wage, people are friendly & welcoming. Yes Australia is so expensive and so far from other countries but like I said no country is perfect but the pros still outweigh the cons for me personally
So far I'm loving everything about what I hear about Australia. However, I heard their wifi speed sucks there. Like it's worse than 3rd world countrie's wifi which is appalling lol. Other than that I would love to live there.
@@quizzlybear it's a bit of exaggeration to say it's as slow as 3rd world countries' wifi 🤣 however if you compare with other 1st world countries' wifi speed then yes it's quite bad. It's getting better however. But yes this will be something that you'll need a bit of adjustment if you move here!
@@zyaravie911UK is expensive messed up country and corrupt people are hateful and miserable even the English people.
what is the song at the end ???
The song is called Way Up by Hartley. It’s a royalty free song I licensed from Premiumbeat 😊 www.premiumbeat.com/royalty-free-tracks/way-up
One of the best countries in the world, but… safety is relative… they’re all white locals or (but one) white tourists so of course they’ll say that… because it is for white people… police crimes against aboriginals are tragically routine… it happens a lot more than you think…
Also, that’s if you’re human at all, if you’re a farm animal… yah…
What are drop bears?
Koalas
A type of koala, but bigger and with extremely sharp teeth. They are known for dropping suddenly out of trees to catch their prey. If you happen to be under the tree when they do it, well let me put it this way, I hope that you don't need your brains to stay in your head.
@@triarb5790 how do i protect myself?
@@triarb5790 should i just wear a helmet?
@@triarb5790 This is complete bullshit. You can’t be Australian, or are you just perpetuating a tired old joke?
It is safe but can be dangerous
Ye depends wher eu are
Anywhere can be dangerous if you go looking for it.
@@leannewith3 sometimes it will look for you
Australians are racist just like their English ancestors.
of course Australia is a safe country.
You can always got to the USA the land of the free and the brave.
And the moment you land after check out, go to the first gun shop, if there is not one in the airport, and buy a gun.
If you are from the USA, don't be too hard on your own ignorance, after all, it's what makes America great!

Crime is worse in the UK as most in the UK are angry and miserable and hate each other .
Also my dad came across the 2th dangerous snake but lucky it was a baby one and chopped his head off lol

o-o
If it was the king brown... Your dad is very lucky.. they are more dangerous than adults... They don't hold back, the adults bite but don't inject venom as much... We never play with baby snakes...

its pretty ironic that people say that Australia is safe considering the fact that this was the dumping ground of British prisoners
It's amazing how building a few roads in the bush by hand in stifling heat and receiving regular lashings can straighten people out.
About 200 years ago. How is that possibility relevant today? The last convicts were transported to Australia in 1868. I hardly think stealing a loaf of bread is a crime to get worried about. Especially 200 years ago.
@@joffie8059 yh true
@@tsopmocful1958 uhm I wouldn't condone lashing people. you are starting to sound like a slave owner.
@@joffie8059Most of the English convicts shipped to Australia didn't just steal bread they don't far worse crimes the English are not innocent .

That got to me... Why do people think that we have any part of an Asian country...
How would anybody know from the city 😂 go bush and tell me if its safe.
Even safer in the bush.
I was in Alaska and the Bears and Moose were much more dangerous than anything at home. They will eat you or stomp you to death.

How is Australia an Asian country...? WTF was that Yahoo talking about..?
No it is not
Koalas are a nuisance when they are mating outside the bedroom window all night. They sound like wild pigs ( male) and the female screams. Other than that , don't walk in long grass in summer time. Assume every snake you see could kill you and give them a wide berth. Don't swim with seals ( Great White's favourite food) , don't swim in the tropics ( stingers and crocodiles). Avoid Chinese tourists driving on the road ( assuming they ever return). Don't drink South Australian beer, except for Coopers.
Kangaroo is so tasty!
AAH
So fucking delicious...
Yeah, just watch out for the crack heads and juveniles ripping your car off.
3:13 Yeah Australia is not Asian buddy
No
