    Sandy deserts, rocky deserts, 10,000 beaches, snow fields in winter for skiing, rainforests, iconic buildings and a wide range of exotic wild animals.

  • @michaelfink64
    @michaelfink64 Год назад +6

    Hi Ryan, here are my best guesses about where these are (time on your video):
    0:35 - The Twelve Apostles, Great Ocean Road, Australia. These are limestone stacks that are formed by erosion of the cliffs by the ocean. I have never seen anyone climb them. I think that would be particularly dangerous. People have been stranded on them, however. There is a formation called London Bridge that consisted of two arches that joined to the mainland. One day in 1990, the arch connecting to the mainland collapsed, leaving an isolated arch on which two people were stranded. They had to be rescued by helicopter.
    0:42 - Uluru, Northern Territory (as you know).
    0:48 - Remarkable Rocks, Kangaroo Island, South Australia
    0:57 - Not sure where this waterfall is. Could be Belmore Falls, Southern Highlands, New South Wales but happy to be corrected.
    1:07 - Again, not certain, but likely Girraween National Park, Queensland
    1:23 - This could be any of many rain forests but likely somewhere in Far North Queensland
    1:34 - No idea, really. Dimalurru (Tunnel Creek) National Park, Western Australia is a possibility
    1:42 - Pretty sure this is Eucalyptus regnans (mountain ash) at Mount Field National Park, Tasmania
    1:58 - Not sure, could be Bay of Fires, Tasmania
    2:27 - Three Sisters, Blue Mountains National Park, New South Wales
    2:33 - Uluru (again)
    2:46 - Remarkable Rocks (again)
    3:04 - Could be anywhere, really
    3:10 - Pretty sure this is the Enchanted Walk, Cradle Mountain, Tasmania
    3:20 - Pretty sure this is Russell Falls, Mount Field National Park, Tasmania
    3:38 - This could be pretty much anywhere in the Australian Alps of New South Wales and Victoria or the Tasmanian highlands, possibly Mount Kosciuszko, New South Wales, the tallest mountain in Australia. Fun fact: Australia has a greater area of snow than Switzerland.
    3:48 - Uluru (again)
    4:13 - Not sure, but reminds me of the area around Mount Bogong, Victoria's highest mountain
    4:19 - Lord Howe Island: way out in the Pacific Ocean, but New South Wales territory
    4:39 - Not a porcupine, but an echidna, one of two monotremes (egg laying mammals), the other being the platypus
    4:46 - Remarkable Rocks (again)
    5:03 - The Twelve Apostles (again)
    5:13 - Kangaroos - could be anywhere
    5:19 - Kata Tjuta (Olgas), Northern Territory

    There are two main kinds of rainforest in Australia: the tropical rainforests of the northern parts, and the cool climate rainforests of Victoria and Tasmania. They are distinctly different but both beautiful. There is snow in the Australian Alps, both NSW and Victoria, and also in the high country of Tasmania. It even snows occasionally in the high inland parts of Queensland.

    Couldn't think of many better places in the world than down here for natural beauty tbh. While our mountains aren't that tall by international standards, because of the vast area of wilderness we have, the Victorian High Country and NSW Snowy Mountains get more snow per year than all of Switzerland plus Tassie gets an equally good dumping each year as well. We've got areas of rainforest from as far south as Tasmania and Victoria all the way up to Far North Queensland. Our Mountain Ash Trees (Eucalyptus Regnans) are only beaten by your Californian Redwoods for the title of tallest tree species. The entire country has rugged coastlines and beautiful beaches.

    Not a porcupine, Ryan - an echidna (‘spiny anteater’). One of the only two living species of ‘monotreme’, its closest living relative is the platypus. Monotremes are an ancient branch of mammals that lay eggs, and then suckle their young. Baby monotremes (cute little squishy things without hair or fingernail-like spines) are called ‘puggles’.

      I'm Australian, I lived in London for a couple of years and I really noticed how "everything" houses, buildings etc were so squished together with narrow roads so the sun would disappear behind the buildings really early, it seemed so unnatural being deprived of seeing the sun set and you literally see it all upfront so when I returned home I felt my eyes readjust (it felt like they relaxed) seeing everything in panoramic was so good, and not blowing black boogers was a relief, the soot from the underground (rail system) and the pollution from so many cars actually gives you black boogers, it's a well known fact (which you only learn once you get there and talk to other travellers!). Oh and I was taken aback at the people working in the supermarket, restaurant and retail shops because they'd actually say "hi, how's it going?" With smiles on their faces! I'd forgotten that's just normal in Australia.

    The waterfall under cave with tree trunk is Natural Bridge in Springbrook QLD. Its a great place to visit in a National Park. No diving allowed anymore due to deaths. But years ago you could dive from above through the gaping hole into the shallow pool below. Most deaths occurred after heavy rainfalls as the debris fills the pool and people get skewered on branches. There used to be an Eel that lived there and was friendly for a peace of bread! Also saw a very white spider that was the size of a hand with very long legs that "bounced" across the water to get away from my friend when he get close leaving a white liquid every time the spiders bum hit the water!

    One of the waterfalls is here in Tasmania it's called Russell Falls located in Mt Field National Park and several other Falls as well.

    G'day Mate! That waterfall you wondered where it was and you thought maybe in the far north? Well it is Russell Falls in Tasmania in the Mount Field National Park. They are just over an hour drive from Hobart...Cheers!

    The waterfall which he stated "Was up north"..... Actually....the flora included "fern palms" from the South, probably from Tasmania and probably "Russel Falls" (Google image it). I lived there. Now I live in Cairns (Far North Tropic-Queensland--QLD)...the ferns do not grow here. But so Beautiful in QLD. See "The Daintree" and "Barrier Reef".
    Porcupines are "Echidnas". one of the wonders. They lay eggs AND give milk to their young. Only Platypus and Echidnas so this (Monotremes)
    Australia is as big as the US, and Queensland is a huge state i live in. Maybe around 2.5x bigger than Texas.

    I'm Australian and only learned recently that Wombats do square shits, I'm amazed ... One more reason to love them. Imagine if we shat out a different shape every time, like cookie cutter shapes? I guess we'd end up playing with our shit, and making a big mess. OK for the workplace when you're bored but definitely not at home. Yes ... Those waterfalls are lovely

    They are very different to a porcupine - porcupines are actually rodents whereas the echidna is an ancient type of marsupial. Additionally, echidna cannot eject their spines, whereas a porcupine can. Echidnas are found all over Australia, including Tasmania.

    At 2.00 minutes to 2.18 minutes you are looking at a beach. The red is sandstone rock in the sandy beach, the green is the same rock with algae growing on it. The tide is out and the rocks are exposed.

    I am from Melbourne l live near the Dandenong Ranges just over an hours drive from the city and they are rainforests , tree ferns , creeks and some waterfalls. We have Wombats Possums Echidnas and masses of different native birds, of course there are snakes lizards and spiders too but you rarely see them. We have Kangaroos around the Cardinia dam erea and a lot of deer that are actually an introduced pest like the Rabbits and Foxes .

    The tall rocks in the ocean are called the Twelve Apostle’s. They are on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. The ocean carves them out of the rocky cliff’s and it seems like when the sea wears one away it is replaced. No one climbs on them.
    We have every climate and landscape in the world in one Country. We have more rainforests and ski resorts than people think. Not everyone lives near the coast.

    The clips with weird shaped rocks (and they're really big. You can stand beneath them) is Remarkable Rocks on Kangaroo Island in South Australia. The Australian Alps get more snow than Switzerland. It also snows in Tasmania and sometimes in South Australia. And... ECHIDNAS not porcupines!

    We also have the oldest rain forest in the world, the Daintree in North Queensland. A prehistoric pine that was only discovered late last century somewhere in northern NSW, the place is a guarded secret, so that us humans don’t go in and destroy the place and uproot and take the trees.
