We might correct you mate. But you're a good bloke and we love your channel. Only youtuber I am still watching about Australia since you started. The rest are BS. Keep it up.😊
As far as footy guys, I forget their new names, soccer, Aussie Rules, Rugby League & Rugby Union. Watching none you can ask a guy the new names. Respect the animals, respect the sharks in their home and you will be fine 😊.
American's refer to burgers as anything with a mince meat pattie. Australians refer to a burger as anything using burger buns. Only bread is called a sandwich. So because chicken burgers usually use crumbed chicken breast, Americans won't call it a burger. But because the crumbed chicken breast is on burger buns, Australians do.
I think “Rugby” by itself usually means league, but I could be wrong. I moved from Perth to Sydney, sat down to watch the footy & 5 minutes in said, “That’s not football, that’s Rugby!” (It was league.)
Ryan, there are lots of us Aussies ( pronounced Ozzies,)who watch you! You come across in a way that doesnt upset Aussies, which is not always as easy as you might think. Almost every Aussie Ive ever met, is with you regarding Huntsman spiders. We dont mind them, as long as they dont actually want to walk on us. Re all the dangerous animals here….Aussies are brought up aware of them, and keep a bit of an eye out for them. Pronounciation…Melbin, Brisbin…bin is short and quick. We all hope you and your family get to come to Australia. 🎉🎉🎉 ❤
You avoid polotics, religion, etc. What a nice young man you are. We'd love to have you as an Aussie. Stay well and healthy. Above all, love your family. They come first. Your love of your child is evident. You've got the right mix of ingredients for a happy life. Enjoy.😊
Loved that she kept referencing where she was living in Australia. Newcastle. My hometown. Affectionately known as Newy. A coupla hours drive north of Sydney on the coast. Best beaches 🌊
The calculation you used is wrong because an imperial gallon is 4.5 litres while a US gallon is 3.78 litres. At current prices petrol is $7.56 a gallon AUD, in relative terms Australian fuel prices are comparable as we have a much higher average wage than the US and higher purchasing power.
That is true. Newcastle covers a much larger area than she alludes to. As to distance and time, it seems that she probably lives close to the city in a coastal suburb, I live in the inner southwestern suburbs, 15 kilometres from the CBD, it used to sometimes take me an hour to get to or from work in the city. Saying that, we are lucky to have so many choices for entertainment and recreation within an hour or so from most of Newcastle. Also the population she mentioned is far lower than the actual population. Even at the time she made this video the population was closer to 500,000, now nearly 600,000.
It's pretty scary when there's a huntsman on the inside of your car. Once I was a passenger in a car at night when I noticed a huntsman above my head on the roof. I screamed and the driver (my partner) pulled over and I jumped out of the car. We had just passed a hitchhiker and because we pulled over, they thought we were going to give them a lift, so they ran over. My partner told them he would give them a lift if they could get rid of the spider, so he reached in and grabbed it with his bare hands and threw it on the nature strip (another term for you to investigate)! Lots of stories - a friend's father had one in his sock and only realised when he started to drive! They like to hide in cracks. Car door cracks are the perfect hiding spot. They can't get in until you open the door. When you do, they run in. Then you have to decide whether you're going to risk driving around with the spider loose in the car, or spend the next half hour trying to catch it.
😂😂😂I used go be paranoid about huntsmen, until one day, I reached across a table to pick up a timer, and I felt a soft tickle on my hand. The huntsman was really gentle on my hand. Not terrified any more
Something like that happened to me. He crawled out of the pool pole onto my hand while I was vacuuming and I thought "what's that?" and shook my hand. When I saw what landed on the water I was pleasantly surprised to find the thing that felt like a cotton ball was a huntsman! He actually felt quite cute.
You're a top bloke mate. We get a laugh at some of your gaffs (mistakes) but not in a bad way. It can be an eyeopener seeing how other countries view Australia & Aussies. Yeah, we're a weird mob at times (reference to an old Aussie movie). Hey have u ever seen the movie The Castle? It's true blue Aussie & I bet by the end of it you'll be saying "Tell him he's dreamin'" or "It's the vibe" lol As you've already been told, what u call gas we call petrol/fuel. I've watched 4 of your vids so far this arvo cause it's too bloody hot to do anything (Queensland [Qld] is getting summer humid stormy weather right now), & u always make me, at the very least, chuckle to myself. Keep on keeping on (reference to an old ad lol) & I'm sure Aussies will keep u amused for some time to come. BTW.. if u like Eminem's song Lose Yourself watch Kasey Chambers (Aussie country singer) sing a cover of it. Wait for it...... bam!! Worth it.
I totally disagree on the food comments she made. I'm Australian and don't like Vegemite and in the last year have eaten exactly one sausage roll and no pies. Sure people eat them, especially if you are working and need to grab something for lunch, but that isn't what I think of as typical food in Australia. What is iconic is our BBQs, not the US smoker things but what the US calls grills, we also have amazing seafood. Although the most prominent thing has to be our diversity, we are a multicultural country after all. There's Italian, Greek (who hasn't grabbed a drunken kebab), Asian (Chinese, Thai, Malaysian, Vietnamese etc), Indian, British and many more, all given our Australian twist. And with a huge range of high quality fruit and vegetables, vegetarian and vegan meals are becoming more common. We love our food and there is definitely more than Vegemite!!!!
And our fabulous pub cuisine- chicken parmigiana. Lunch grabs , wraps , toasties , egg & bacon rolls ,salad packs even the old dim sim are more popular than pies .
Absolutely true. Many places in Australia, the food and cuisine is second to none. Vegemite toast is delicious in my view, but *real* Australian cuisine is always going to be inspired by our multiculturalism, our balanced artistic/scientific nature, and our access to quality ingredients. Chefs aside; most Australians are very comfortable in the kitchen, inventing delicious one-off dishes any night of the week, with whatever fresh ingredients they have on hand. Foods deemed the ‘taste’ of Australia (meat pies, etc) tend to be ready-made, but it gives an entirely wrong impression of our attitude to food and cooking. I once saw a RUclips video titled ‘how to make whipped cream’. As an Australian, I thought that the most ridiculous idea for a video (or maybe genius?). Obviously, it’s not a recipe, it’s just whipped cream, to put *with* a recipe…and any five year old knows how to whip a bit of cream. But that’s not necessarily true - I was taking for granted that, in Australia, we tend to grow up eating tomatoes from the backyard, fishing with our dad, and quickly whipping up some cream (that we know will turn into butter if we go a little far) for scones. In many places of the world, people are far more disconnected from their food source (and, to them, cream comes ready-whipped in a can, with sugar added). I think the true taste of Australia is that of the seasons and the sea - fresh, vibrant, and life-affirming.
I’m in Sydney and when someone asks how far away some place is, we tend to reply in time it takes to get there.My relatives live in Northern Europe and they always find that strange. They want to know the distance in kilometres.😂
Same down here in Melbin. When they were alive, my sister lived 2 hours drive away, my parent lived about 3 hours away, I wouldn't even think twice about dropping everything and going to see them. I have rellies in England who think it is a long way to go just to visit people who live across the road.
@@treadingtheboards2875 I think the reason is that Australia is so BIG.. Most of Europe including England is so small. England is about the size of Victoria and most of Europe would fit inside Australia.Time taken to go somewhere makes much more sense.
I'm a born and bred Adelaide girl pushing 50, and I've NEVER stopped freaking out a lil bit every time I have to deal with a mahoosive huntsman or wolf spider! 🕷😱🤭😁
Only the whitetails really bother me. Huntsies are my friends, between them and the daddys they keep the scary ones away 🤷 I've had a few huntsmans that live in my house and actually come to me for food, water and warmth/comfort. Almost like a pet!? Only spider I'm aware I've been bitten by was a golden orb +20yrs ago, which was when I lost my phobia of spiders.
@marccaillotdechadbannes6249 I try to catch and release huntsmans and wolfies (and most creatures, really). And I do scream for almost the entire time I'm doing so 😄😁
Huntsman spiders are the Labrador of spiders... they NEVER bite. I put them onto my hand and place them outside regularly. They are harmless. No one has ever been bitten by one to my knowledge and I've been around a fair while.
They definitely bite. My uncle was moving stuff and he disturbed one and it jumped on his hand and bit him. I know they are generally harmless and keep the bugs away I genuinely hate them because of a few instances when I was a child
Bro, that's fuckin hardcore! I feel like I would have shat myself to death in that circumstance! And if I DID survive, I wouldn't be sleeping in that room until I had confirmation that the huntsman was either outside, or dead.
Years ago my old man took the cover off the ride on mower and there was a huge huntsman on the seat, without a thought he swiped it straight at me. Landed middle of my chest, ran up and over my face as I ran off screaming..didn't talk to him for the rest of the day 😂
@@WyattOShea I have one that just wanders around the bedroom, another in the bathroom. Every night I go to sleep with it somewhere around. A few times it has been on the covers when I wake up. No problem. Just a big softie. The redbacks in the cupboards don't take up much space either.
I know others have mentioned it.. But I'll put it another way.. Terminology Gasoline(Gas) is Petrol in Australia. You must search for "PETROL prices in Australia" Gas, is natural gas and LPG/Propane(LPG means Liquid Petroleum Gas. Simply called LP Gas or LP here). We measure LPG/Propane in portable cylinders by the kilo.. Natural Gas is by the Megajoule at the house metre(I believe). Petrol/Gas, Diesel and LPG for cars, is purchased by the litre. One USA gallon is roughly 3.8 litres.(3.78 to be exact, as per video!) For 91 unleaded petrol, we pay anywhere from 150.9 cents a litre up to 200.9 cents a litre(between $ 1.50 and $ 2 australia). General prices are high due to the number of hands goods pass through. An example? Watermelons from Mareeba in Far North Queensland being trucked down to markets in Brisbane and then back north on another carrier for supermarkets... Other fresh produce might be trucked from Mareeba to Melbourne for processing and then back out through the various other saleas and distributor networks and onto supermarket distribution networrjs. Other products (like mobiles, tv's etc etc), might pass through 5 or 6 different sales and distribution networks before finally arriving in the hands of the buyer. An example of the latter was windscreens for Holden HK-HT-HG models. The non laminated windscreens for these cost $10 australian to produce back in the day(as of the late 80's, early 90's). By the time the replacements arrived at windscreen sellers/fitters, they were between 90 and 100 bucks. The increase in cost was due to all the hands the windscreens passed through. Note, the laminated versions were over 300 bucks.. few people bought them! Why is Australia like this? Two words:- Industry Protectionism. There are a handful of companies who bypass all this garbage and can sell products, like a 90 litre 12/24 volt camping fridge/freezer for less than half the cost. One company does this by importing direct from a chinese manufacturer and sells direct to the public. No middle man or middle men (Sorry, middle people*! 😂) between the manufacturer and them and, them and and the public. *must be politically correct! 😂😂
The term Rugby refers to Rugby Union, which is the original Rugby code. BTW, this is also played in Australia and New Zealand, not just Europe. In fact, it's the national sport of NZ. When talking about Rugby League, then we use Rugby League or just League. The term Footy is just a slang term for Football in general, so it isn't code specific. An AFL fan will say Footy, just as a league fan will also use the term Footy and so on. If you watch NFL, then yep, Footy can also be used.
Some Shark info. Sharks often occur close to beaches when they come in looking for prey. They may be following schools of fish or looking for cooler water nearer the coast where there is likely to be more food. Many Australians and tourists to Australia visit the beach each year. Surf Life Saving Australia’s annual National Coastal Safety Survey found that in the last 12 months 16.3 million Australians (aged 16+) visited the coast on average 3.3 times per month suggesting there were about 600 million individual visits to the coast last year. Over the last 10 years there were, on average, 20 shark incidents each year where people were injured. There were on average 2.8 fatalities each year and seven incidents where the person was uninjured. In 2023 there were 4 fatal shark bites in Australia. Over the same period Surf Life Saving Australia reported 125 coastal drowning deaths and there were 1,266 fatalities on Australian roads over the same period
Brisbane has awesome public transport. You can get anywhere you want to go. We have buses, trains, ferries, city cats (catamarans) all connected. You have transport cards that you load money on and you simply tap on and off at each end of your trip. It is very inexpensive too. The buses have their own highway in and out of the city. Very convenient, and they don't get stuck in heavy traffic.
Natural Gas ie methane is sold by the gigajoule. Petrol is sold by the litre. About 4.5 litres to the Australian/British gallon. But the US gallon is less than the imperial gallon. What you call a 55 gallon drum, Australians call a 44. When we are talking about 44s we are talking steel drums not big pistols. The guvament also taxes petrol at about 50cents per litre plus another 10% as GST (sales tax). And we end metric units with re not er. Litre, metre not liter and meter.
We say Melbourne as Mel-bin, similarly with Brisbane is said as Bris-bin. We like to shorten the name if they’re l long, from a born and bred QUEENSLANDER.
@lztx I know a 44 is 200 litres. How ever I was making a point about US and Imperial gallons. The 44, 55 gallon comparison illustrated it easily in terms relevant to Americans. Sorry if that was not obvious to you.
So, we have rugby and Aussie Rules (Footy). If this woman is living in Newcastle, AFL wouldn't be big there. I see a lot of Americans reacting to Australia, I only watch two. You're doing a good job, respectful and wanting to learn. Also, not all Aussies are bad ass, I am still terrified of spiders. Edit: Melbourne is pronounced Melbin, completely against how it's spelt!
1. Rugby League (League/Footy) NSW, QLD, ACT, VIC 2. Rugby Union (Rugby, Football) NSW, QLD, ACT, WA 3. Australian Rules Football (AFL/Footy) VIC, SA, WA, NSW, QLD, TAS, NT (PS. This is all off the top of my head so probably not exactly right - sorry. Feel free to correct me 😊)
there is a line running through NSW at about Canberra, if you live south of that line you follow Aussie Rules, and if you live north, you follow Rugby league, every one follows rugby union if you went to a private school
Not true The further south you go from Canberra people may begin to follow AFL but the NRL is still pretty popular through Wagga and the Riverina, 3 players this year played in the SOO Martin,Critchen and Lomax all from Temora. Pretty amazing.
@@nevilleapple629 I live in Canberra, and noticed strong followings of both codes here, it just seems the 50/50 split changes as you go further north or south. I know Wagga, and the entire western slopes have a massive rugby league following, and participation as well. But the playing grounds with strange goal posts seem to be more common as I go south!
@@michellewest3404 QLD and Western Australia. Public transport, cycling, networking, planes, trains and buses to move between states. With perseverence you can do anything. I'v crossed the nullabor 3 times on the ground, 2 by train, one by bus (4 times by plane).
Red belly blacks are quite placid. They also grow really big. I've come across them a few times in the bush and it was never frightening or even concerning. there's other snakes that are bit more skittish and worth giving a wider berth, like tiger or brown snakes
Had an old red belly black that used to curled up near my gate, it would just watch as I passed to open / close gate, occasionally it would raise its head a little. Very placid snakes. I was chased by a tiger snake, I jumped into the back of a Ute to get away , then had to jump back out because the snake launched itself into the back of the Ute. When I managed to get in the front of Ute and the snake started striking at the rear window. Super nasty, agro snakes
We lived in Toowoomba (Qld) about 14 yrs ago and we had red backs EVERYWHERE around our house. I would constantly check the kids outside toys everyday and find at least one. They would be in the house too in some obscure place. My neighbour had been bitten a few times and he always said it hurt like hell, like a fire under his skin. He was bitten each time in his shed. They are no joke but immediate medical attention and you're usually ok.😊
Fuel prices here are currently A$1.80 per litre, which is equal to A$6.84 per gallon, with the conversion giving US$4.52 per gallon. Prices were over $2 per litre a few months ago.
Burgers dude has a very simple definition, a burger BUN with some sort of protein inbetween and other things. So you can have kangaroo burgers :) You guys go and try and complicate life, how do you know if a chicken sandwich is between BREAD or BURGER BUNS, you can't tell! Rant over (was one of my pet peeves being a Aussie in the US)
Mel-bn...... no vowel in the last syllable. That is the most common Australian way but it is not how the old timers who originally named it would say it.
@2:55 I live in Australia, specifically Brisbane area, and I have NEVER seen $1.17 anywhere in my entire driving life. It ALWAYS SIGNIFICANTLY more. The cheapest I have ever seen was $1.50 or so, and that was years ago. Most places are over $2 a liter. I very regularly see $2.40 on a weekly basis, and if it dips below $2, which is still kind common, then it's seen as very cheap and we fuel up as much as we can during those times. At the moment today it was about $1.87, and you bet I filled that tank up.
30 years ago ( showing my age 😂) in Brisbane ( north Brisbane) I remember paying 89 cents everyday. The lowest I ever paid was 75 cents for leaded. Ahhh the good ole days😫 edit ....this was in mango hill in Qld.
so reason she's saying rugby is probably because depending on what state you are in the dominant sport changes. nsw and qld is NRL territory while AFL is kind of everywhere but isnt as popular in nsw or qld
Why are Americans surprised that other countries have lives & culture, skills & expertise? Feel like Americans should just declare that they know NOTHING bout anywhere else! PS….. we eat pies & chips at the footy etc. Take away is for when we can’t be bothered cooking. Brilliant food choices & quality here.
@@zalired8925 NOT Ryan …he’s great…impressed how quick he types, checking stuff. Talking bout the girl in the video! Having lived in US, they are generally amazed to discover ‘civilization’ extends beyond their borders.
Let's face it - vastly more sharks have been eaten by humans than humans have been eaten by sharks. The *big* spiders aren't the problem. Redbacks are very small - they probably won't kill you, but they will make you really sick - and, worst of all, they *won't* give you spider powers
I live a little under 5hrs from Sydney. Rural city. Spiders and snakes are a very common occurrence. Huntsman spiders are great house spiders for dealing with bugs. Avoid snakes. Using common sense means it's rarely a problem.
Karen from AUSTRALIA I've only started watching you and you crack me up. And you got Melbourne Wright,well said. Keep it up we'll make an Aussie out of you yet.
Ryan, don't worry about getting the little things "wrong" in some commentators' opinion. Life is a constantly learning experience. I much prefer commenting on your channel, than I do on your "brother" channel (Tyler), who is either not bothering to read comments or incapable of retaining any of the things said. Vis a vis your opening remarks, I thank God none of my close family live in the US now. You all face a challenging few years, and decades of global anger, for the choice you made.
With all of the Asian immigration we have it's meant that we have some fantastic restaurants and twists on cuisine from all over, really. We have Greek, Italian, Middle Eastern, African and it goes on. With the quality of produce available, there's some amazing flavours to try. If you can afford it 😂
Re the animals etc: As an Aussie, you get taught as a child how to deal with flora and fauna. By the time you are 10 you have a pretty healthy understanding of how to avoid anything dangerous. Most people who get bitten are either doing it on purpose pr not paying attention. Now you have me Googling “what is American barbecue?”
Don't apologise for getting things wrong in Australia, we appreciate that you have taken an interest in Australia, and with all your videos I have seen, you would fit in Australia perfectly, we would welcome you with a bro hug for sure. I am on the outskirts of Melbourne, and I am no more than 5 minutes from two major shopping centres, so not everywhere you have to travel far, it depends where you live, I have local shops that takes me 2 minutes to walk to.
Just to remind you that if you search for gas prices in Australia, you’ll get results for the gas we use in our gas stoves. What you want is the petrol prices.
Ashley said she lives in Newcastle which happens to be my home town and currently live there. Rugby league is the major sport in Newcastle with a team in the National competition and AFL only having a small local competition
There REALLY needs to be a correction in the story of petrol prices, talking Calinfornia , the price BEFORE TAX is about US$4-30 ( 2,25% tax added = US$4-40) in Australia it is BEFORE TAX US$3-05 ( tax added is about 40% making the pump price about US$4-27)) As it is shown at the pump in the US as gallons and in Australia as liters and expressed in A$2-00 PER LITER it prob just SEEMS more expensive, but it is in fact cheaper ! The tax collected by the way, in California 10 cents, in Australia US$1-22 ..90% of the tax in Australia is SUPPOSED to go to road maintenance. So just to get it right.3.785 liters in one US gallon if you want to work it out.
She said earlier that she is in Sydney. Rugby is the more popular form of football in NSW and QLD, Aussie Rules (AFL) is more popular in the other states and soccer and cricket are played in all states
At the beginning, there are 2 prices mentioned, "price" (1.17) and "retail price" (196.5 cents or 1.965 dollar per liter). It's the second one that's important. Which is about 7.55 dollars per gallon.
We buy petrol. Gas is LPG. Choices are E10, unleaded 91, unleaded 95, unleaded 98 and diesel. The gas you were probably looking at would be what powers our heating and cooking not cars. Unleaded 91 has been as high as $2.17 a litre where I live and I think it was even higher at one point, but buy it in the outback and it will be dearer. Recently we have seen some lower prices. Today at my local servo it was $1.97 per litre. So if it is say 3.75 litres to the gallon that is $7.39 Australian dollars. The interesting thing is that usually as the northern hemisphere goes into winter our fuel costs go up and when we go into Winter they can come down. Something to do with oil prices. Obviously you use more in your winters so supply and demand.
Rugby Union is a game played internationally. Rugby League is played in the UK and Australia. We follow more and go to weekly games for the Rugby League.
There are 4 different types of football played in Australia: Australian Rules , rugby union (usually just referred to as union), soccer and rugby league (usually called “league”).
Shes so happy to be out of her sports bubble now that shes in Australia but doesn't seem to have heard of Aussie rules. So glad she got out of her bubble.
My perception only, as a born and bred Aussie (feel free to fact check): - Rugby League (Footy/NRL/League) - Generally the most popular sport in NSW and especially QLD, as the teams are mostly located in these 2 states (there is also a heated rivalry between these 2 states due to this, culminating in the "State of Origin" series). League was originally invented in England as an adaptation of Rugby Union but the Aussie NRL is now considered the pinnacle of Rugby League in the world. Sometimes referred to as Australian Rugby by the US (leads to a lot of confusion with AFL). This year and next year the NRL season has been kicked off in Vegas to try and get some US interest (check out Russel Crowes's US promo video). - Rugby Union (Rugby/Union/Footy) - Your traditionalists footy, hard, tough. It is less popular in Australia though than the other "Footies", mostly because our National team has been less competitive in recent years compared to England, France, New Zealand, South Africa etc. Your older generations are more likely to watch this, especially first generation Aussies with a lot of European/UK heratige. - Australian Rules (Footy/AFL) - Most popular sport in VIC, SA and WA. Constant battle with NRL for most watched in Aus (typically AFL fills out stadiums more, but NRL gets more streams from home). A little bit limited in exposure due to an understable lack of international competitions. - Football (Commonly called Soccer due to US influence, but the term "Football" is gaining more traction lately due to continued European/UK immigration and lots of Aussies watching European Football leagues online. - Cricket (just Cricket) - This is actually our official national sport, most aussies grow up watching this on summer holidays, particularly the boxing day test, so it has quite a nostalgic aussie feel, although a large chunk of the younger population find it too "boring" (comparable to Baseball in the US maybe?), for some others it's just playing in the background or on the radio while you go about your summer fun. For more active families, "backyard cricket" is a popular pastime; just playing in the backyard with siblings, friends or family, or more iconically at the beach or out the front of of your house on the street, using wheelie bins for wickets and rushing them back when a car comes through. A lot of the excitement comes from smashing our Pommy overlords (England) in the Ashes, although matches against India can also be very competitive. Generally Aus and India are the best 2 cricket nations in the world. Probably the most widespread national presence of all the sports. There are also 3 main forms of the sport: 5 Day Test Matches (long, tough, traditional); T20 (twenty Overs for each team, fast exciting, a little more gimmicky, better to bring kids to because it isnt so long, still 3 or so hours though); ODI (One Day International, a middle ground between the long Tests and short T20's) - Honourable mentions for popular Aussie sports - Netball, Hockey, Basketball, Touch footy, Tennis, Swimming, Surfing.
In Brisbane you would be looking anywhere between $2.00 - $2.45 per Litre AUD, that is for premium 'Gas'/ petrol. (Will go by the highest cost priced petrol for this example.) That means that $2.25 (average) X 3.785 Litres (1 US Liquid Gallon) = $8.50 for 1 US gallon. For price difference $8.50 AUD = $5.63 as of 7/11/24.
Hey Ryan i just did the maths for you a gallon of gas (we call petrol) would cost$4.48 in US dollars it's $1.89 a litre in Sydney we bench market our prices against the Singapore market for a reason i have forgotten. we love bitching about gas prices, but the beaches are awesome
We import 90% of our refined petroleum, and Singapore is one of our major suppliers. If Singapore puts it's price up, and the local suppliers didn't, they would make a loss. And of course the value of the AUD vs SGD has an effect. And there is no funny business going on, according to the ACCC.

You looked up the price of Gas as in natural gas when you should have looked up petrol/petroleum 😅
correct dude
😂
Absolutely hilarious 😂
yep!
Also the price of fuel in cities is usually HEAPS cheaper than in rural areas.
Please don't stop being wrong and confused Ryan it's almost the highlight of my day watching you stumble through stuff about Oz.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Most of us here love you Ryan. Great sense of humour. You're an honorary Aussie. Apologies for the rude bogan trolls coming online.
An unfortunate solely Aussie thing. Bit embarrassing really.
defo not an honorary aussie. but hes aight and makes.. interesting vids.
We want the rest of the world to believe Australia is Dangerous, it keeps the riff-raff out..!! 😂🤣😂
Ha ha… but a few didn’t get the memo. That’s ok, we can take them out fishing and hunting.
We might correct you mate. But you're a good bloke and we love your channel. Only youtuber I am still watching about Australia since you started. The rest are BS. Keep it up.😊
Why not just accept not everyone outside of Australia knows every fact or pronunciation.
That's really kind. I hope he sees your comment. 😊
Love Ryan’s channel. Have watched his brothers channel and Ryan is so much better…in my opinion
Ryan there are 4 football codes in Au .. AFL ..Rugby League which is NRL ..Rugby Union...and also Soccer
As far as footy guys, I forget their new names, soccer, Aussie Rules, Rugby League & Rugby Union. Watching none you can ask a guy the new names. Respect the animals, respect the sharks in their home and you will be fine 😊.
American's refer to burgers as anything with a mince meat pattie. Australians refer to a burger as anything using burger buns. Only bread is called a sandwich. So because chicken burgers usually use crumbed chicken breast, Americans won't call it a burger. But because the crumbed chicken breast is on burger buns, Australians do.
Well reasoned and summed up.
We call Rugby League Footy
We call Rugby Union footy
We call afl footy
We call football soccer
I think “Rugby” by itself usually means league, but I could be wrong.
I moved from Perth to Sydney, sat down to watch the footy & 5 minutes in said, “That’s not football, that’s Rugby!” (It was league.)
@@judithstrachan9399 Rugby is Union , League is League
Never seen football played with a soccer ball
And I will never understand how Australians can call a sport that only uses the feet for 5 percent of the game is called “football “.
@@brinjoness3386 Because the origin of the term "football" was not "played with the feet" it was "played ON FOOT", as opposed to played on horse-back.
Ryan, there are lots of us Aussies ( pronounced Ozzies,)who watch you! You come across in a way that doesnt upset Aussies, which is not always as easy as you might think. Almost every Aussie Ive ever met, is with you regarding Huntsman spiders. We dont mind them, as long as they dont actually want to walk on us. Re all the dangerous animals here….Aussies are brought up aware of them, and keep a bit of an eye out for them. Pronounciation…Melbin, Brisbin…bin is short and quick. We all hope you and your family get to come to Australia. 🎉🎉🎉 ❤
Ditto
You'll looking at natural gas prices not petrol prices for cars....
The "r" in Melbourne & car are just decorative.
It IS great fun correcting you LOL! We keep coming back for that reason.
You avoid polotics, religion, etc. What a nice young man you are. We'd love to have you as an Aussie. Stay well and healthy. Above all, love your family. They come first. Your love of your child is evident. You've got the right mix of ingredients for a happy life. Enjoy.😊

Only in USA would they call a liquid "gas" 😅
good point 😜Jenni QLD Australia.
short for gasoline
The calculation you used is wrong because an imperial gallon is 4.5 litres while a US gallon is 3.78 litres. At current prices petrol is $7.56 a gallon AUD, in relative terms Australian fuel prices are comparable as we have a much higher average wage than the US and higher purchasing power.
It’s short for gasoline but some gases are a liquid as in LPG, it’s compressed into a liquid state and then converted to gas.
Haha! Ryan looked up GAS prices! The average price of PETROL in my neck of the woods is AU$2.00 per litre.
Adelaide has been around $1.53 L for quite a few weeks now. But when it fluctuates it will go from $1.50 to anything up to $1.96
I'm from new Zealand it was 2.70 a litre last time I went to the gas station earlier in the week
It’s $1.95 where I live in Melbourne and $1.79 on the other side of Melbourne
$1.56 in Adelaide today
@@stevenbalekic5683what as if! in Victoria we pay 1.90 per litre at minimum for 91
i like how she says everything is 20 minutes away in Newcastle as if everyone lives at her address
- well Maximum 20 mins away... lol...
That is true. Newcastle covers a much larger area than she alludes to. As to distance and time, it seems that she probably lives close to the city in a coastal suburb, I live in the inner southwestern suburbs, 15 kilometres from the CBD, it used to sometimes take me an hour to get to or from work in the city. Saying that, we are lucky to have so many choices for entertainment and recreation within an hour or so from most of Newcastle. Also the population she mentioned is far lower than the actual population. Even at the time she made this video the population was closer to 500,000, now nearly 600,000.

It's pretty scary when there's a huntsman on the inside of your car. Once I was a passenger in a car at night when I noticed a huntsman above my head on the roof. I screamed and the driver (my partner) pulled over and I jumped out of the car. We had just passed a hitchhiker and because we pulled over, they thought we were going to give them a lift, so they ran over. My partner told them he would give them a lift if they could get rid of the spider, so he reached in and grabbed it with his bare hands and threw it on the nature strip (another term for you to investigate)!
Lots of stories - a friend's father had one in his sock and only realised when he started to drive!
They like to hide in cracks. Car door cracks are the perfect hiding spot. They can't get in until you open the door. When you do, they run in. Then you have to decide whether you're going to risk driving around with the spider loose in the car, or spend the next half hour trying to catch it.
'Rugby' is rugby union, 'League' is rugby league, 'footie' is whatever you play or watch. You could call NFL footie!
😂😂😂I used go be paranoid about huntsmen, until one day, I reached across a table to pick up a timer, and I felt a soft tickle on my hand. The huntsman was really gentle on my hand. Not terrified any more
Aww he just said hi 👋
Something like that happened to me. He crawled out of the pool pole onto my hand while I was vacuuming and I thought "what's that?" and shook my hand. When I saw what landed on the water I was pleasantly surprised to find the thing that felt like a cotton ball was a huntsman! He actually felt quite cute.
Huntsman’s are very gentle 😊

Yeah, we're a weird mob at times (reference to an old Aussie movie). Hey have u ever seen the movie The Castle?

Keep on keeping on (reference to an old ad lol) & I'm sure Aussies will keep u amused for some time to come.
BTW.. if u like Eminem's song Lose Yourself watch Kasey Chambers (Aussie country singer) sing a cover of it. Wait for it...... bam!! Worth it.
I want to see Ryan do the spider dance. Come home late at night and walk into a huge spider web. The dance begins.😅😅😅
I totally disagree on the food comments she made. I'm Australian and don't like Vegemite and in the last year have eaten exactly one sausage roll and no pies. Sure people eat them, especially if you are working and need to grab something for lunch, but that isn't what I think of as typical food in Australia. What is iconic is our BBQs, not the US smoker things but what the US calls grills, we also have amazing seafood. Although the most prominent thing has to be our diversity, we are a multicultural country after all. There's Italian, Greek (who hasn't grabbed a drunken kebab), Asian (Chinese, Thai, Malaysian, Vietnamese etc), Indian, British and many more, all given our Australian twist. And with a huge range of high quality fruit and vegetables, vegetarian and vegan meals are becoming more common. We love our food and there is definitely more than Vegemite!!!!
And our fabulous pub cuisine- chicken parmigiana. Lunch grabs , wraps , toasties , egg & bacon rolls ,salad packs even the old dim sim are more popular than pies .
Absolutely true. Many places in Australia, the food and cuisine is second to none. Vegemite toast is delicious in my view, but *real* Australian cuisine is always going to be inspired by our multiculturalism, our balanced artistic/scientific nature, and our access to quality ingredients. Chefs aside; most Australians are very comfortable in the kitchen, inventing delicious one-off dishes any night of the week, with whatever fresh ingredients they have on hand. Foods deemed the ‘taste’ of Australia (meat pies, etc) tend to be ready-made, but it gives an entirely wrong impression of our attitude to food and cooking. I once saw a RUclips video titled ‘how to make whipped cream’. As an Australian, I thought that the most ridiculous idea for a video (or maybe genius?). Obviously, it’s not a recipe, it’s just whipped cream, to put *with* a recipe…and any five year old knows how to whip a bit of cream. But that’s not necessarily true - I was taking for granted that, in Australia, we tend to grow up eating tomatoes from the backyard, fishing with our dad, and quickly whipping up some cream (that we know will turn into butter if we go a little far) for scones. In many places of the world, people are far more disconnected from their food source (and, to them, cream comes ready-whipped in a can, with sugar added). I think the true taste of Australia is that of the seasons and the sea - fresh, vibrant, and life-affirming.
I hate Vegemite too, it tastes horrible and Nutella doesn’t
I’m in Sydney and when someone asks how far away some place is, we tend to reply in time it takes to get there.My relatives live in Northern Europe and they always find that strange. They want to know the distance in kilometres.😂
Too true.
Same down here in Melbin. When they were alive, my sister lived 2 hours drive away, my parent lived about 3 hours away, I wouldn't even think twice about dropping everything and going to see them. I have rellies in England who think it is a long way to go just to visit people who live across the road.
@@treadingtheboards2875 I think the reason is that Australia is so BIG.. Most of Europe including England is so small. England is about the size of Victoria and most of Europe would fit inside Australia.Time taken to go somewhere makes much more sense.
Ryan, you have Foxes, Wolves, Coyotes and Bears in Indiana, those are cool animals 👍

I'm a born and bred Adelaide girl pushing 50, and I've NEVER stopped freaking out a lil bit every time I have to deal with a mahoosive huntsman or wolf spider! 🕷😱🤭😁
Only the whitetails really bother me. Huntsies are my friends, between them and the daddys they keep the scary ones away 🤷 I've had a few huntsmans that live in my house and actually come to me for food, water and warmth/comfort. Almost like a pet!? Only spider I'm aware I've been bitten by was a golden orb +20yrs ago, which was when I lost my phobia of spiders.

Huntsman spiders are the Labrador of spiders... they NEVER bite. I put them onto my hand and place them outside regularly. They are harmless. No one has ever been bitten by one to my knowledge and I've been around a fair while.
I have been bitten on the hand and it was sore for days. But I am not scared of them.
They will give you a nip as the previous commenter discovered but they won't kill you.
hahahaha.. oh they absolutely bite.
@@thehaven3258 why was my comment deleted? I only agreed that they bite! Wth?
They definitely bite. My uncle was moving stuff and he disturbed one and it jumped on his hand and bit him. I know they are generally harmless and keep the bugs away I genuinely hate them because of a few instances when I was a child
Australians who live west of the “Barassi Line” have rarely heard of rugby.
Years ago, I woke up with a huge huntsman on my face. I pulled it off, chucked it across the room, and went back to sleep.
Can you come watch over me when I sleep 😂😂😶🌫️
Bro, that's fuckin hardcore! I feel like I would have shat myself to death in that circumstance! And if I DID survive, I wouldn't be sleeping in that room until I had confirmation that the huntsman was either outside, or dead.
Years ago my old man took the cover off the ride on mower and there was a huge huntsman on the seat, without a thought he swiped it straight at me. Landed middle of my chest, ran up and over my face as I ran off screaming..didn't talk to him for the rest of the day 😂
Similar for me but it was on the wall above my head when I was trying to sleep. I just went back to sleep at the time.
@@WyattOShea I have one that just wanders around the bedroom, another in the bathroom. Every night I go to sleep with it somewhere around. A few times it has been on the covers when I wake up. No problem. Just a big softie.
The redbacks in the cupboards don't take up much space either.
I know others have mentioned it.. But I'll put it another way..
Terminology
Gasoline(Gas) is Petrol in Australia. You must search for "PETROL prices in Australia"
Gas, is natural gas and LPG/Propane(LPG means Liquid Petroleum Gas. Simply called LP Gas or LP here).
We measure LPG/Propane in portable cylinders by the kilo.. Natural Gas is by the Megajoule at the house metre(I believe).
Petrol/Gas, Diesel and LPG for cars, is purchased by the litre.
One USA gallon is roughly 3.8 litres.(3.78 to be exact, as per video!)
For 91 unleaded petrol, we pay anywhere from 150.9 cents a litre up to 200.9 cents a litre(between $ 1.50 and $ 2 australia).
General prices are high due to the number of hands goods pass through.
An example? Watermelons from Mareeba in Far North Queensland being trucked down to markets in Brisbane and then back north on another carrier for supermarkets...
Other fresh produce might be trucked from Mareeba to Melbourne for processing and then back out through the various other saleas and distributor networks and onto supermarket distribution networrjs.
Other products (like mobiles, tv's etc etc), might pass through 5 or 6 different sales and distribution networks before finally arriving in the hands of the buyer.
An example of the latter was windscreens for Holden HK-HT-HG models. The non laminated windscreens for these cost $10 australian to produce back in the day(as of the late 80's, early 90's). By the time the replacements arrived at windscreen sellers/fitters, they were between 90 and 100 bucks. The increase in cost was due to all the hands the windscreens passed through.
Note, the laminated versions were over 300 bucks.. few people bought them!
Why is Australia like this? Two words:- Industry Protectionism.
There are a handful of companies who bypass all this garbage and can sell products, like a 90 litre 12/24 volt camping fridge/freezer for less than half the cost. One company does this by importing direct from a chinese manufacturer and sells direct to the public. No middle man or middle men (Sorry, middle people*! 😂) between the manufacturer and them and, them and and the public.
*must be politically correct! 😂😂
The term Rugby refers to Rugby Union, which is the original Rugby code. BTW, this is also played in Australia and New Zealand, not just Europe. In fact, it's the national sport of NZ. When talking about Rugby League, then we use Rugby League or just League. The term Footy is just a slang term for Football in general, so it isn't code specific. An AFL fan will say Footy, just as a league fan will also use the term Footy and so on. If you watch NFL, then yep, Footy can also be used.
Some Shark info.
Sharks often occur close to beaches when they come in looking for prey.
They may be following schools of fish or looking for cooler water nearer the coast where there is likely to be more food.
Many Australians and tourists to Australia visit the beach each year.
Surf Life Saving Australia’s annual National Coastal Safety Survey found that in the last 12 months 16.3 million
Australians (aged 16+) visited the coast on average 3.3 times per month suggesting there were about 600 million individual visits to the coast last year.
Over the last 10 years there were, on average, 20 shark incidents each year where people were injured.
There were on average 2.8 fatalities each year and seven incidents where the person was uninjured.
In 2023 there were 4 fatal shark bites in Australia.
Over the same period Surf Life Saving Australia reported 125 coastal drowning deaths and there were 1,266 fatalities on Australian roads over the same period
Go the sharks!
(Maybe even the football club?)
Brisbane has awesome public transport. You can get anywhere you want to go. We have buses, trains, ferries, city cats (catamarans) all connected. You have transport cards that you load money on and you simply tap on and off at each end of your trip. It is very inexpensive too. The buses have their own highway in and out of the city. Very convenient, and they don't get stuck in heavy traffic.
And we were paying 50c to travel anywhere on buses and trains
Trying to get cars out of the city as much as possible. I’m sure they’re losing money, but it’ll be worth it if it works.
It's very similar in Sydney and the Illawarra
" the old chicken burger debate' 😅😅
Natural Gas ie methane is sold by the gigajoule. Petrol is sold by the litre. About 4.5 litres to the Australian/British gallon. But the US gallon is less than the imperial gallon. What you call a 55 gallon drum, Australians call a 44. When we are talking about 44s we are talking steel drums not big pistols. The guvament also taxes petrol at about 50cents per litre plus another 10% as GST (sales tax).
And we end metric units with re not er. Litre, metre not liter and meter.
We say Melbourne as Mel-bin, similarly with Brisbane is said as Bris-bin. We like to shorten the name if they’re l long, from a born and bred QUEENSLANDER.
@ronwellington2516 Mel bin as in wheelie bin. I think there is a good chance you don't pronounce the i.
44 gallon drums are now most correctly 200 litre drums!
@lztx I know a 44 is 200 litres. How ever I was making a point about US and Imperial gallons. The 44, 55 gallon comparison illustrated it easily in terms relevant to Americans. Sorry if that was not obvious to you.
So, we have rugby and Aussie Rules (Footy). If this woman is living in Newcastle, AFL wouldn't be big there. I see a lot of Americans reacting to Australia, I only watch two. You're doing a good job, respectful and wanting to learn. Also, not all Aussies are bad ass, I am still terrified of spiders.
Edit: Melbourne is pronounced Melbin, completely against how it's spelt!
We don’t put gas in cars unless your talking about LPG cars We say petrol
Petrol or diesel if you want be specific, otherwise it's just fuel
1. Rugby League (League/Footy) NSW, QLD, ACT, VIC
2. Rugby Union (Rugby, Football) NSW, QLD, ACT, WA
3. Australian Rules Football (AFL/Footy) VIC, SA, WA, NSW, QLD, TAS, NT
(PS. This is all off the top of my head so probably not exactly right - sorry. Feel free to correct me 😊)
That's pretty right. The only addition is Soccer/football
Nobody in WA calls Rugby "football". It is just called rugby.
AFL is football, depending on where you are, otherwise Soccer is called football.
there is a line running through NSW at about Canberra, if you live south of that line you follow Aussie Rules, and if you live north, you follow Rugby league, every one follows rugby union if you went to a private school
Not true The further south you go from Canberra people may begin to follow AFL but the NRL is still pretty popular through Wagga and the Riverina, 3 players this year played in the SOO Martin,Critchen and Lomax all from Temora. Pretty amazing.
@@nevilleapple629 I live in Canberra, and noticed strong followings of both codes here, it just seems the 50/50 split changes as you go further north or south. I know Wagga, and the entire western slopes have a massive rugby league following, and participation as well. But the playing grounds with strange goal posts seem to be more common as I go south!
@ Thats not what you said but still at 50/50 in Canberra ,the figures were close to that before the Raiders came into being.

Red belly blacks are quite placid. They also grow really big. I've come across them a few times in the bush and it was never frightening or even concerning. there's other snakes that are bit more skittish and worth giving a wider berth, like tiger or brown snakes
Had an old red belly black that used to curled up near my gate, it would just watch as I passed to open / close gate, occasionally it would raise its head a little. Very placid snakes. I was chased by a tiger snake, I jumped into the back of a Ute to get away , then had to jump back out because the snake launched itself into the back of the Ute. When I managed to get in the front of Ute and the snake started striking at the rear window. Super nasty, agro snakes
We lived in Toowoomba (Qld) about 14 yrs ago and we had red backs EVERYWHERE around our house. I would constantly check the kids outside toys everyday and find at least one. They would be in the house too in some obscure place. My neighbour had been bitten a few times and he always said it hurt like hell, like a fire under his skin. He was bitten each time in his shed. They are no joke but immediate medical attention and you're usually ok.😊

@2:55 I live in Australia, specifically Brisbane area, and I have NEVER seen $1.17 anywhere in my entire driving life. It ALWAYS SIGNIFICANTLY more. The cheapest I have ever seen was $1.50 or so, and that was years ago. Most places are over $2 a liter. I very regularly see $2.40 on a weekly basis, and if it dips below $2, which is still kind common, then it's seen as very cheap and we fuel up as much as we can during those times. At the moment today it was about $1.87, and you bet I filled that tank up.

Petrol is about $2 per litre reg unleaded depending on where you live
There REALLY needs to be a correction in the story of petrol prices, talking Calinfornia , the price BEFORE TAX is about US$4-30 ( 2,25% tax added = US$4-40) in Australia it is BEFORE TAX US$3-05 ( tax added is about 40% making the pump price about US$4-27)) As it is shown at the pump in the US as gallons and in Australia as liters and expressed in A$2-00 PER LITER it prob just SEEMS more expensive, but it is in fact cheaper ! The tax collected by the way, in California 10 cents, in Australia US$1-22 ..90% of the tax in Australia is SUPPOSED to go to road maintenance. So just to get it right.3.785 liters in one US gallon if you want to work it out.

At the beginning, there are 2 prices mentioned, "price" (1.17) and "retail price" (196.5 cents or 1.965 dollar per liter).
It's the second one that's important.
Which is about 7.55 dollars per gallon.
Burgers are on buns , sandwiches are on bread .
We buy petrol. Gas is LPG. Choices are E10, unleaded 91, unleaded 95, unleaded 98 and diesel.
The gas you were probably looking at would be what powers our heating and cooking not cars.
Unleaded 91 has been as high as $2.17 a litre where I live and I think it was even higher at one point, but buy it in the outback and it will be dearer.
Recently we have seen some lower prices. Today at my local servo it was $1.97 per litre. So if it is say 3.75 litres to the gallon that is $7.39 Australian dollars.
The interesting thing is that usually as the northern hemisphere goes into winter our fuel costs go up and when we go into Winter they can come down. Something to do with oil prices. Obviously you use more in your winters so supply and demand.
It varies by state. I live in country NSW and haven't seen above $2 for a long time
Rugby Union is a game played internationally. Rugby League is played in the UK and Australia. We follow more and go to weekly games for the Rugby League.
There are 4 different types of football played in Australia: Australian Rules , rugby union (usually just referred to as union), soccer and rugby league (usually called “league”).
There is some league played in the states.
@@infin8ee yeah but generally the game is played to a high level in the UK and Australia. The Pacific region has it but not to that level.
Also...Hoping your family is well😊
Shes so happy to be out of her sports bubble now that shes in Australia but doesn't seem to have heard of Aussie rules. So glad she got out of her bubble.

My perception only, as a born and bred Aussie (feel free to fact check):
- Rugby League (Footy/NRL/League) - Generally the most popular sport in NSW and especially QLD, as the teams are mostly located in these 2 states (there is also a heated rivalry between these 2 states due to this, culminating in the "State of Origin" series). League was originally invented in England as an adaptation of Rugby Union but the Aussie NRL is now considered the pinnacle of Rugby League in the world. Sometimes referred to as Australian Rugby by the US (leads to a lot of confusion with AFL). This year and next year the NRL season has been kicked off in Vegas to try and get some US interest (check out Russel Crowes's US promo video).
- Rugby Union (Rugby/Union/Footy) - Your traditionalists footy, hard, tough. It is less popular in Australia though than the other "Footies", mostly because our National team has been less competitive in recent years compared to England, France, New Zealand, South Africa etc. Your older generations are more likely to watch this, especially first generation Aussies with a lot of European/UK heratige.
- Australian Rules (Footy/AFL) - Most popular sport in VIC, SA and WA. Constant battle with NRL for most watched in Aus (typically AFL fills out stadiums more, but NRL gets more streams from home). A little bit limited in exposure due to an understable lack of international competitions.
- Football (Commonly called Soccer due to US influence, but the term "Football" is gaining more traction lately due to continued European/UK immigration and lots of Aussies watching European Football leagues online.
- Cricket (just Cricket) - This is actually our official national sport, most aussies grow up watching this on summer holidays, particularly the boxing day test, so it has quite a nostalgic aussie feel, although a large chunk of the younger population find it too "boring" (comparable to Baseball in the US maybe?), for some others it's just playing in the background or on the radio while you go about your summer fun. For more active families, "backyard cricket" is a popular pastime; just playing in the backyard with siblings, friends or family, or more iconically at the beach or out the front of of your house on the street, using wheelie bins for wickets and rushing them back when a car comes through. A lot of the excitement comes from smashing our Pommy overlords (England) in the Ashes, although matches against India can also be very competitive. Generally Aus and India are the best 2 cricket nations in the world. Probably the most widespread national presence of all the sports. There are also 3 main forms of the sport: 5 Day Test Matches (long, tough, traditional); T20 (twenty Overs for each team, fast exciting, a little more gimmicky, better to bring kids to because it isnt so long, still 3 or so hours though); ODI (One Day International, a middle ground between the long Tests and short T20's)
- Honourable mentions for popular Aussie sports - Netball, Hockey, Basketball, Touch footy, Tennis, Swimming, Surfing.
In Brisbane you would be looking anywhere between $2.00 - $2.45 per Litre AUD, that is for premium 'Gas'/ petrol. (Will go by the highest cost priced petrol for this example.) That means that $2.25 (average) X 3.785 Litres (1 US Liquid Gallon) = $8.50 for 1 US gallon. For price difference $8.50 AUD = $5.63 as of 7/11/24.
Brissy used to be so cheap for petrol. I'm near Bendigo Vic and I'm paying $1.56 for ULP & $1.62 for premium.
@@cbjones2212 Yeah it crazy now, I have to use the petrol appto find the cheapest and drive about 10 mins to save at least 30-40 cents a litre now.
Hey Ryan i just did the maths for you a gallon of gas (we call petrol) would cost$4.48 in US dollars it's $1.89 a litre in Sydney we bench market our prices against the Singapore market for a reason i have forgotten. we love bitching about gas prices, but the beaches are awesome
Is that a US gallon or imperial. US gallons are smaller than ours.
We import 90% of our refined petroleum, and Singapore is one of our major suppliers. If Singapore puts it's price up, and the local suppliers didn't, they would make a loss. And of course the value of the AUD vs SGD has an effect. And there is no funny business going on, according to the ACCC.
i used US gallon as ryan is there
A good comeback by an Australian is “so how little do you earn ?”
