      I think what makes Australia so great is that its the perfect mix of British and American way of life. They have an individualtic culture and big cars and houses like America but still have the laugauge link and some culture ties to Britian.

      What's funny is that almost nobody within Australia actually watches Neighbours, in fact, most Australians find it to be an extremely cringeworthy show. It's literally only produced because of a federal law that mandates that a certain percent of Australian-made TV drama be directly about Australian life. The vast majority of Neighbours viewership actually comes from international syndication, most predominantly from UK audiences.

      Wrong though. When the phrase was coined, there were no pick-ups in Aus. It has since expanded to include anything with a tub or tray. The 4WD Ute market is the biggest segment in Aus. And that's what we call them, utes.

    • @ryane5281
      @ryane5281 8 месяцев назад

      @bafman My experience is that larger trucks like an F-150 or Silverado (which have been absent for large parts of Australian history) are usually referred to as trucks, and a ute is pretty much anything smaller than those. It can be sporty like the FPV pictured in the video or off-roady like a Ranger. I don’t know if it was the very first, but when I think of classic utes I always think of the Holden Sandman.

For example, NZ was one of the last places on earth to be settled, while the indigenous people of Australia is one of the oldest in the world. As for European discovery, Australia was discovered by the Dutch first as they would cross past Western Australia to get to Indonesia. The whole East Coast is another different story though. But the point I'm trying to make is that you cannot conclusively say one was discovered before the other. In reality, it is a question of which people/expedition made a discovery, and how that discovery made an impact on future discoveries.

    Neighbours being one of the coins is a national embarrassment. Almost nobody within Australia actually watches Neighbours, with most Australians finding it to be an extremely boring and overly melodramatic show. It's literally only produced because of a federal law that mandates that a certain percent of Australian-made TV drama be directly about Australian life. The vast majority of Neighbours viewership actually comes from international syndication, most predominantly from UK audiences.

      1940, Australian scientist Howard Florey (later Baron Florey) and a team of researchers (Ernst Boris Chain, Edward Abraham, Arthur Duncan Gardner, Norman Heatley, Margaret Jennings, J. Orr-Ewing and G. Sanders) at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford made progress in showing the in vivo bactericidal action of penicillin.[34][35] In 1940, they showed that penicillin effectively cured bacterial infection in mice.[36][37] In 1941, they treated a policeman, Albert Alexander, with a severe face infection; his condition improved, but then supplies of penicillin ran out and he died. Subsequently, several other patients were treated successfully.[38] In December 1942, survivors of the Cocoanut Grove fire in Boston were the first burn patients to be successfully treated with penicillin.
