Hello Australia! We are ashamed it took this long for us to do this video. However, It was DEFINITELY worth the wait as Australia is absolutely gorgeous!! Seriously, from the beautiful blue waters, white sand beaches, rock formations, forests, to everything in between! Australia really seems to have it all! We know one video cannot show us everything about any Country but this was a stunning introduction for us. We really hope you enjoy it too. We would love to do more on Australia, please let us know in the comments if you would like us to. Thanks for watching!

I live in Perth, after having moved here from the UK in 2006, summers here can be up to 110F and can stay like that for a few days, but it's rare. mid january to mid february tends to be the hottest temps. Winter times it doesn't freeze but can get down to the high 30s Fahrenheit over night but during the day it would normally be somewhere around the mid 50s Fahrenheit or slightly warmer. Temperature can change dramatically day to day though...I know we've had a change of over 20F between one day and the next as we get winds in from the Antarctic quite frequently...all comes down to how close to the coast you live (I'm only about 3 miles from the coast and am about 20 miles south of Perth itself).
The thing that it can't show is that Australians are good people. Many British people like me love it because it's like Britain used to be. Also you won't want to leave. But when you do you will want to keep going back.
Giving this an instant thumbs up. I’m a Brit who’s been living in Australia for over 15 years, and still loving it. It’s a big and weird and wonderful country, and some of the most fascinating stuff is off the tourist trails. The Great Ocean Road is amazing though, but if you’re going to drive that you should set aside time for a visit to Erskine Falls, the Loch Ard Gorge, and maybe take a scenic helicopter ride over the Twelve Apostles. And if you’re visiting Melbourne you should time it for one of the sporting events the city puts on, whether cricket, Formula One, Grand Slam tennis, or Australian Rules Football, arguably the maddest team sport there is. There’s a couple of What Is AFL videos to explain the game to newbies that you could do a fun reaction vid to. You could also maybe do a reaction to The Emu War (spoiler: the emus won). Drunken History Australia did a good summary of The Emu War. You should also watch a video of the Penguin Parade on Phillip Island, which is another big draw for tourists in the Melbourne area. I'm not spoiling this one - just go and find a vid on it, and if you visit Australia go do the Penguin Parade. It's bloody magical. And really it’s not that far. Sure, 15 hours from LAX to Sydney or Melbourne sounds long, but I did it after flying about 9 hours from London to LA first. Climate wise, it’s hard to talk about average temperatures because of the size of the country. Australia is about the same area as the lower 48 US states and stretches from the humid tropics in the north to almost being in the Southern Ocean. In Victoria, the state Melbourne is capital of, we have chilly winters that are near but not quite freezing and we can peak at 100-105F in summer. But up in the high country we have winter ski fields too, and at the other extreme there are plenty of bits that get Death Valley kind of hot and very occasionally people die out there. And yes you’re both right about the seasons. As with New Zealand they’re simply reversed. Summer is December to February, then autumn is in the northern hemisphere springtime, winter is June to August and spring starts in September. Autumnal Easter is a bit weird but Christmas in summer is brilliant and I never want to go back to having Christmas in the cold and dark of a British winter.
I am an American who visited Australia 20 years ago. A year later I moved here and never looked back. Became an Aussie citizen last year. Come visit. It will change you. Although I can't believe they didn't mention Tasmania or Darwin.
Australia is about the same size as the mainland USA. We have tropics up north with ancient rainforests, coral reefs and pristine white sand beaches. Inland there are red dirt deserts that are the size of countries they have beautiful rock formations, and are incredible for stargazing. The Eastern States have mountain ranges and the alpine region of the Snowy Mountains gets more snow than the Swiss Alps in Winter and is a great destination for skiing and snowboarding during our winter. On the West Coast you have some of the most incredible coastline and untouched beaches and islands you can explore and Western Australia stretches up to the tropics and also has the Kimberly’s which is another National Park filled with red rock gorges and rivers and can be explored on boat tours. Finally off the Southern Coast is Tasmania which is wild, windswept and rugged but it is one of many artisan food regions in Australia famous for its dairy products, apples & cherries. Australians love nature and we love good food and drink. I hope you get to visit here one day 😊
I'm from WA aka Western Australia the 2nd largest state in the world (after one in Russia). People often don't realise how massive Australia is thus the vastly different landscapes can be surprising (that vid didn't even mention WA or Tasmania). Places to visit in WA I recommend are Rottnest Island, Ningaloo reef, Karajini National Park, Bungle Bungle Ranges, Valley of the Giants and the Beaches around Esperence.
@N Bartlett a lot of our place names are directly taken from the local Aboriginal tribe's terms for these places. Some other place names to boggle you: Wagga Wagga, Woolloomooloo, Mooloolaba, Buddabadah... and I guarantee you'll pronounce them all wrong lol
Hi ladies! I'm from Brisbane, in Queensland. There are so many amazing places to visit, but be aware the Australia is almost the same size as the lower 48, so of course, there are many different climates. Up here in QLD, our winters are mild and our summers are hot. Down in Tasmania, it's more like the UK climate. Love the videos x
Hi Ladies, I am a Scotsman who moved to Australia in 1967 as a 17 year old boy and I planned to stay here for about 4 years but I met a wonderful Australian girl then had a fabulous 40 year marriage until she tragically died. I live in the Blue Mountains and truly love it. Yes we do have lots of deadly creatures. I live on an average block of land, 200 by 100 feet with lots of trees and shrubs and there are highly dangerous spiders like the Funnel Web, Trapdoor, Wolf and Redback. We never leave shoes outside the back door as the spiders go inside them then before putting them on you must knock them on the ground to let the spiders get out. We also have quite a few deadly poisonous snakes like Eastern Browns, Tiger snake. Death Adder and my favourite the Red-Bellied Black Snake. When I walk around the yard I will clump my feet and they will usually slither away.You must be careful not to tread on them or the will strike. I have 2 favourites, one is a 7 foot Diamond python which is very placid and keeps the vermin under control. My special snake is a 6 foot long highly venomous Red-Belly which does not mind being picked up as long as I am slow and gentle. Regularly when I am sitting in the yard in the sun it will slither over and lay across my feet .Naturally there are hundreds of birds especially Parrots, Cockatoos and Kookaburras. It is a truly magical place.
@@Eqium I still use my British passport and I am classed as a British Subject with Australian residency rights. When I travel overseas I have to apply for a re-entry visa and return within a certain time, if not then I will not have an automatic right to re-enter Australia.
We regularly get a bunch of birds visit us in our garden (inner-city, Sydney), including Rainbow Lorikeets, Australian Ravens, Corellas, Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos, Galahs, Australian Ibis (locally known as 'Bin Chickens').
I'm an Aussie who's never been out of my own country 😅 but think your country is as beautiful as mine, I do wish to go there one day, I have family in NZ...
New Zealand is absolutely amazing - sending love for your gorgeous country! My family took campervans on South island (my favourite, especially the area around Milford Sound! Minus the sandflies). I honestly cannot wait to get back there! :)
Wilson’s Promontory is a national park in Victoria. 2 hours south of Melbourne. It’s stunning, the wildlife is incredibly diverse, it’s peaceful and there is a beach that squeaks!
I’m British but my brother has lived in Australia for almost 40 years . I have visited in the past and loved it . Melbourne is a fabulous city , very diverse , lots of things to do , amazing dining out , spectacular scenery . I’ve travelled the Great Ocean Road , been to Torquay seen the 12th apostles at Apollo Bay , the scenery there is amazing . We went to Ballarat a throw back from the old gold mining days , a very well done living museum , I panned for golf … sadly I found none . Australia is well worth the long flight , beautiful country
You girls are fabulous! Because you’re inquisitive like I am. Intriguing watching something about others countries. I am Australian, however I do live with my family in Canada for the past 10 years. Canada is beautiful but I have to say you don’t know what you take for granted until you live away for a long stretch of time …. Isn’t the same for most of us? I recently went home after 10 years and I didn’t realize just how much I missed my homeland. You know what they say …. You can take the girl out of the country but not the country out of the girl?! 🤪. Anyway, love you gals 🥰. I’m going to be biased here - but before I’d like to say I’ve lived in or visited most of these ‘destinations’ in Oz … so in saying that at the end of the day I’m a Queenslander. Be interesting for you to check out Queensland (that has the Great Barrier Reef straddling it) but even more diverse than that. I also (among others) lived in Jabiru with the national park - Kakadu - surrounding us. Just to give you an even more broader perspective. Love you guys AGAIN 🥰❤️💕💋💋💋💋
Sovereign Hill is a terrific place to visit. The trick to panning there back in the day was to be downstream from everyone else. You caught the gold that everyone else spilled.
Yes most people in Ballarat get a year pass to go to Sovereign Hill as it's cheaper. Next time you visit, come during the June/July school holidays as they have a 'Winter Wonderlights' Festival. Sovereign Hill is lit up with thousands of Xmas lights and light and sound show. It's a play on Xmas in July as our actual Christmas is Hot 🔥
The climate in Australia is very diverse as it's such a big place, I came here from the UK just for three months of work, that was back in 1997 and I'm still here! Away from the populated areas (the coast mainly) there's almost no light pollution and looking up at the stars is absolutely beautiful, it's breathtaking.
i'm from the UK, always wanted to visit Australia, l finally made it at the age of 66 (4 years ago) it's a beautiful country, we drove from Adelaide to Sydney along the old coast road it took a week.
I'm a long haul truck driver, and have been to every mainland state and territory in mainland Australia except the Australian Capital Territory (the Australian equivalent of Washington DC) The Nullarbor Plain is accessible via the Eyre highway. Stunning scenery, although it is a very long drive. Western Australia hasn't been mentioned at all, and we on the west coast are a little too used to being ignored. Places to look up on the west Coast: Esperance Monkey Mia Margaret River Kalgoorlie Broome Kununurra Karajini National Park Lancelin (you did mention driving in the sand, this is a good one for sand dunes you're allowed to drive on) The Swan Valley Albany Climate will vary across the state. In winter, places like Albany to the far south will hover around zero (about 33 degrees) of a morning, warming up to about 18-20 (68 degrees) Further up the coast, the winter can be of a similar morning temperature to the afternoon in Albany, to warm up to around 30 degrees (about 86 degrees) in winter, or in extreme cases in summer, 122 degrees
A hint on how to pronounce Melbourne like an Aussie - make it short. We say 'Mel-bin', very quickly (Mel-b'n). I know this was only an introduction, but it missed out so much! It didn't include my beautiful state Tasmania which gets snow in winter and has amazing and unique wilderness and history; the stunning forests and wine regions of the Margaret River area of Western Australia (WA) and the amazing WA coastline; Cape York and the Daintree World Heritage Area in far north Queensland, to name just a few. So much more to explore!
Western Australia is WEST, not east! The south west forests and the Margaret River area and all the wineries (vineyards) are great to visit. Perth is a beautiful city too, with the Kings Park only allowing West Australian plants…..many unique and completely different to the flora in the east.
There's a lot to do in Melbourne. Winter temps range from high 50s to high 30s Fahrenheit. Summer is high 60s to over 100F. Not this year, one day up to the low 90s the rest in the 70s.
G'day girls I suggest watching videos of every state in Australia, there are too many beautiful places to favour your best bet is watch as many as you can each state is unique and have so many beautiful things to do and see. Thank you for finally seeing an Aussie video xx good luck xx
Ok.... I did not know: 1) that the Great Ocean Road was built by Return Troopers 2) We have the Worlds Largest War Memorial and 3) they are one and the same. Well done girls, love learning about Aussie history. Thanks from Down Under. PS: have a look at our cute wild life.
Australia is roughly the same size as the USA. You can imagine the big differences in temperatures, climates and terrain you have there. Australia too has big changes like this. Six different climate groups, from the tropics in the north to the temperate regions in the south. So we have everything from rainforests to deserts, bush lands and mountain ranges to name a few. It’s a big country and lots of beauty to see.
Thank you so much! Australia is a beautiful country. I live in New Zealand so we are neighbours! 😊 I would love to see more of Aussie and maybe if possible a reaction on New Zealand Love your channel, keep up the amazing work
Yes, New Zealand is fascinating for it's amazing scenery from sub-tropical in the north to glacier country and fjords in the south - not to mention the thermal geology round Rotorua. Check out Bay of Islands in the north, and Abel Tasman national park in South Island. A wonderful country for an outdoor lifestyle.
Hello Debbie and Natasha. I’ve been to Australia a few times. It’s spectacular. Each time I’ve been on organised tours and they covered most of the tour spots. The one I really liked was a tour by rail. I flew to Perth in the Wast, then by the Indian Pacific for 2 nights to Adelaide. A few days there, then North to Alice Springs on the Ghan for 1 night, after visiting Uluru (Ayres Rock) I flew on to Cairns, a few nights there. Then by rail on the Karunda line back to Cairns and a trip out to the Barrier Reef. Next our final rail trip overnight to Brisbane. We ended up in Sydney for a few days and then flew home. A great way to see the many aspects of the magnificent country. We covered the west at Perth, the outback & goldfields and the Nullarbor Plain (no trees), the red centre, the Tropical rain forests, the Pacific coast and surfing and the large cities. Was quite expensive and took 18 days. Yes, we saw loads of kangaroos, crocodiles etc, didn’t see any snakes or poisonous spiders!
Hi from Townsville, Qld. We are lucky to have the great barrier reef practically on our doorstep. Glad to hear you want to visit our beautiful, lucky country! That video didn't even scratch the surface of our stunning country.
Good morning ladies. It's great to see you visiting other branches of our extended family and continuing our entertaining and educational journey with you. As you have already looked into the differences between British English and American English, you may find it interesting to check out Australian English; our Antipodean cousins also have a colourful variation of the mother tongue.
I drive over the Sydney Harbour Bridge every day, and it never ceases to amaze me how stunning the Harbour is. It'll take your breath away if you ever visit. Our winter and summer seasons are opposite to yours with average temps (Sydney) in summer ranging between 68f to upwards of 100f and in winter anywhere between 32f to 68f.
To contrast in Melbourne, since we are further south than Sydney, we are a bit cooler. In summer average temperatures are between 57°F to 77.5°F, and in winter the averages are between 44°F to 57°F. However in winter, temperatures can get as low as 27°F in some places; compared to the unlikely 100°F of summer.
Great to see you both as always. I’ve been to Australia a few times and been to Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast and Brisbane. I’ve driven down the Great Ocean Road, it’s spectacular and been to the blue mountains and Bondi also. Lovely country and your video brought back a lot of memories ❤
Being from Sydney, they show you the main attractions. However, that is only scratching the surface - the Central Coast, Port Stephens and the Hunter Valley are a stones throw away that provide similar and more. The Hunter is one of NSW's wine countries which has many fantastic restaurants that pair the wine with the meals...
I lived in Newcastle for years and it’s amazing how little people know how beautiful it is! The beaches and coastline are absolutely stunning and it’s transformed massively from the industrial town it used to be. We used to do day trips to the Central Coast all the time and would even drive to Port Stephens for dinner at a favourite restaurant. So many attractions nearby. I miss it.
You must live in Perth.. I had a mate from Queensland who went and lived there.. apparently you guys don’t like going even 100 km from your houses.. You all need to harden up
I've been all over the place but have never been too WA. Though Tassie I was only 2 so not sure that counts, but I still remember bits. I might see you in a few years though as I'm trying to get enough money to buy a caravan. Also want to see the Great Ocean Road.
im in vic and went to the grampians with a bunch of tourists that have seen more of my country than me.. im here planting vegies at home haha. im so glad i was born aussie
Great video guys 👍Australia looks really nice and it's huge hah with so much to see. Ayers Rock and the Great Barrier Reef look awesome. Some people still live near the Great Barrier Reef like a lot of the Aboriginal people still live in the nearby islands but yeah the actual reef itself is a protected area. It's fascinating how they built the Sydney Bridge, there's some videos on here that show how it was built 👍I've always loved Australian movies like classics like Picnic At Hanging Rock because of the scenery. It really is a beautiful country.
Hi from Sydney! The Harbour Bridge was shut this week to allow Ryan Gosling to film a stunt for his next movie. You’ll see it in film again soon. Temperature? We have snow, the Snowy Mountains get a wider (not deeper) coverage of snow annually than the Swiss Alps. In Sydney we often wear T-shirts in winter, but if the wind swings around and comes up from the Antarctic, we need every jacket we can get. The deadly things are very rarely seen in cities. Americans who visit the Blue Mountains often say it’s like the Grand Canyon with trees. The sky at Uluru (no Aussies call it Ayers Rock now it has been transferred back to the original owner First Nations people) is so dense with stars because Uluru is so remote and there is no light pollution; they’re different constellations, including the Southern Cross that appears on the Aussie and New Zealand flags. Kakadu National Park is otherworldly, Coober Pedy is an intriguing mining town built mostly underground to escape the intense summer heat there.
@@fortymillioncoins9066 In our previous house in the lower northern suburbs, our side of the street backed onto the National Park. You are most probably correct that there are plenty of snakes and funnel-webs there. I can’t say with any certainty because no one in the street saw any in the 11 years I lived there. We had echidnas, bush turkeys, owls, kookas, and all sorts of parrots and keets, so maybe some of those took care of the spiders and snakes if any ventured from the bush.
@@Bellas1717 Most certainly we had funnel web spiders in Neutral Bay and Brown Snakes in Northbridge in suburbia. I had to rescue baby Brown snakes and take them to Zoo hospital.
I'm glad you like our country. I live coastally to Melbourne (Melbin). I grew up in The Blue Mountains. We had native animals to care for and we had survivalist training in the wilderness with aboriginal people as teachers. Today the blue mountains still is in my heart. It would snow in August and November. It would have bushfires and dust devils but rain alot too. It can be as cold as -5°C in winter and as high as 45°c in summer. The blue hue is very much real.
Hi from NSW Australia 🇦🇺 😊 ☺️ 💕 I have driven the Great Ocean Road many many times and every time you see something new you missed before. I also have flown over the 12 Apostille's in a Helicopter it was awesome! It is a Must drive for any visitor the History is so valuable and rich. Our Summer is when you have Winter. We are opposite to your seasons ie: Summer is your Winter, Autumn here is your Spring etc.
The best thing is there is affordable places to live along the great Ocean road. They turn the Melbourne Cricket Ground into the Football oval after cricket season for the AFL season and Grand Final also.
Great video, he only touched on all that there is to see in Australia. A Brit here who's been living in Brisbane, Australia 5 years now. What Australia lacks in castles, stately homes it makes up for in the most amazing landscapes and wildlife. Definitely needs to be on your list of places to visit
My brother and his partner went over to visit friends from the UK eight years ago. They absolutely loved it, he said he can totally see why people emigrate. I tracked their plane going over there and the longest part of their journey was flying from eastern to Western Australia. I couldn’t believe how vast it was xx
I flew from Sydney to Heathrow via Bangkok and was feeling SO travel sick I wanted to die. Looked at the in- flight tracker and yep, 5 hours in and we were still over Australia 😂
Beautiful, I have family in Australia but have never been. One cousin and her husband are lucky enough to have toured around there own country and sends the most beautiful photos. Again a great video girlies. Xx
Ozzie peeps wasn't it Kangaroo Island that got absolutely decimated by the wildfires? I know everywhere did but I feel like it was mentioned on a programme called Animal Park in the UK who sent several of their keepers out to help rescue and revive koalas.
Unfortunately, in the devastating bush fires across Australia, they estimate we lost approx a million Koalas, as well as a multitude of other native animals. As well as many ppl lost. Terrible time!
Great video girls I really enjoyed it... I was so fortunate to visit my brother and sister in law in 2015, we stayed in Perth then went to their home in Albany, check it out it's an amazing place, most of the Australian fleet left there in the wars, they have lots of memorials and the fantastic Anzac center.. I loved every minute of it, hopefully get back some day x
I have travelled to your country 5 times in the last 20 years and have had a lot of questions about Australia while I was there. I love that you are taking the time to learn because a much a I love your country I did find that we knew more about your country than they did about ours. You have a new subscriber in me😊.
I live in Western Australia, the big state on the map, the south west has some gorgeous places and up north is amazing too (still to get there). We drove over the nullarbor to Melbourne and back, something we ticked off our bucket list and I realised just how big the country is. Melbourne is gorgeous, quite a cool state compared to the west but so many beautiful places to see and we drove the great ocean road, it was stunning. We lived further south of melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula (always have to be near water). The temps in the west get extremely hot summer (1st dec - end of Feb) average temp is between 35-40 C (95-104F) but sometimes hotter than that. Winter doesnt get as cold as USA and where we are we dont get snow, but we did visit some of the snow places in Victoria when we lived there. SA is a lovely state too. Would love to see you check out more videos on the states and attractions that were mentioned in this one (this was more east coast based).
The thing is, Australia is such a big country that you'd need months to see it all. Most tourists go to the east coast (Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast etc) but I think Western Australia is very underrated. White sand beaches, forests, desert, Rottnest Island, the coral coast (with the gorgeous Ningaloo Reef) and the outback. Australia is like the US with its vastly different scenery (mountains, forests, beaches, desert) and different climates depending on where you are in the country.
Australia is similar in size to the continental United States. Some areas receive more snow than Switzerland, while others are tropical. I live about 2 hours south of Sydney and we have some spectacular national parks and coastal scenery. Really enjoyed your reaction to all things Aus. Cheers!
In Australia we have so many diverse landscapes! There’s the red rock outback desert, there’s tropical blue-green beaches and rainforests, valleys and mountains of Tasmania, pink lakes, snow and several ski resorts - look past the stereotypes of it being a big hot desert as it’s far from that ! Great reaction and thanks for appreciating our beautiful country ❤️ 🇦🇺 In answer to your question about the temps, it depends where you are but in Sydney Summer will be anything from 75 to 98 with an average of 79-80. Winter on average you might see about 64-70.
Please note it's pronounced Melb-n. We have the Snowy Mountains which apparently get more snow than Switzerland, so, yes, it gets very cold in parts. As usual, only Sydney and Melbourne get mentioned. We have other beautiful cities, including Brisbane, Adelaide, Hobart and Perth. You have never seen stars until you see a Northern Territory night! That is just a taster of what we have. Great reaction.
Greetings from Brisbane! Just a couple of recommendations for places to visit here: the island state of Tasmania is a must see IMO - lots of charming European style villages and breathtaking scenery for days! A lesser known area is the Far North Coast of New South Wales where you'll find some of the best beaches Australia has to offer. Oh, and the Border Ranges National Park is in the same region, so lots of great hiking there if you're into that.
I'm an Aussie, living in the Geelong area about an hour south of Melbourne, and not far from the start of the Great Ocean Road (GOR). Beautiful part of Australia, and now I feel like I need to make a trip again along the GOR (the acronym for it locally). You are right that this video is just touching on some of the amazing places in Australia...it completely left out Western Australia which is a beautiful part of Australia, and very different to the east coast. Perth, the capital of Western Australia, is one of my absolute favourite cities to visit. It also didn't touch on Tasmania (or Tassie as we call it), our beautiful island state south of the state of Victoria (Melbourne is the capital city of Victoria - we say it Melbin, just remember we shorten the sounds in a lot of things we say). We have beautiful wine regions too such as the Barossa Valley in South Australia, the Yarra Valley in Victoria, the Hunter region of NSW and Margaret River in Western Australia. I've been to the Great Barrier Reef twice and could happily keep going back. My teenage kid has said to me that Australia has everything, you can see everything here, and I have to agree it has so much diversity.
Big country, slightly smaller to the USA but with a tiny population of just 26 million. We have skifields in three states, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmannia. We get more snow annually than Switzerland. Aussies are great skiers too, with many of us oldies having been taught by Austrian and German ski instructors during the 60s and 70s. Check out other videos showing other areas. It's only 14 hours from Los Angeles to Sydney. New Zealand is just a short hop of 2-3 hours and definitely needs to be incorporated into visiting our Southern shores.
The video was very American with their pronunciation. I'm located in Central Queensland at the southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef. There are a lot of small towns with something worth seeing if you're up to a road trip with the Bundaberg rum factory two hours drive from me. Far North Queensland has a lot of natural beauty as well and Brisbane is always my favourite city. Just a couple of tips they missed in the video were the cafè culture throughout all of Australia is huge in Sydney and Melbourne as well as the streets of Melbourne being an artists gallery of street art. If you don't want to go to the beach all the time, we have a number of ski resorts in New South Wales and Victoria like Thredbo, Perisher and Mt Buller. There is something for everyone and our temperatures range from as 41°f to 46°f depending on where in the country you are at what time of the year. It does get hotter and colder than that, but that's a general range.
I’m so glad you lovely Ladies like my homeland. I’m a proud Veteran who proudly served in the Middle East side by side with your brave American Soldiers. You MUST visit my beautiful country. Take care !!!
If you want to see a great Australian scenic video that plays the song called (Great southern land) that video is very cool I’m from Queensland Australia it filled me with a lot of emotions seeing it 😊
Welcome to Australia Natasha and Debbie- been following your love of the UK which is definitely understandable, and especially the Military 👍🏻 I lived and worked there for a number of months in late 1979 and fell in love with the country- nice to see you decided to visit our country for a change - I personally think we have a great country but it is very different from the UK and probably from the USA - hope you get to see a video of the Cairns area and the northern tropics up here - worth a look ladies 😘👍🏻🇦🇺
Blue Mountains... Scenic World is a good stop for tourists... Its a skyrail that shows you a "birds eye view" of the 3 Sisters. For Koalas, you can either go to the Australian Reptile Park for a up close photo with a Koala, Roos, Snakes and even the odd Tassie Devil. If you like wine, then the Hunter Valley is definitely the place to visit. Small zoo in the area and the main attraction, other then all the wineries would be the Hunter Valley Gardens (14 Hectares). Animal lover and enjoy history?? Travel out west a bit to Dubbo for the open plains zoo and a bit further to Parkes to see the Dish. Temp... its currently 16 degrees celcius where I live... which makes it about 60 Farenheit, we are in Autumn (fall) and its 2220 or 10pm in the evening. If you don't like heat, do not come in Dec, Jan & Feb... I live in Newcastle, which is about 2hrs north of Sydney. "Newie" doesn't have the high-rise buildings like Sydney or Melbourne but its steeped in History, being the 2nd Oldest City in Aus.
I live about an hour away from The Great Ocean Road in a place called Ballarat. We are famous for the Victorian Gold rush in the 1800s and the Eureka Stockade. There are more in depth videos for each state but definitely check out Geography Now's episode about Australia.
My brother has lived in Melbourne for almost 40 years , on visits we drove the Great Ocean Road and visited Ballarat , the scenery is amazing and Ballarat living museum was one of the highlights of our visits , well worth the 24 hour flight from the UK
I’ve always wanted to visit Australia, mainly because I have relatives in Melbourne, some of whom I’ve never met such as my cousin Daniel Champagne who is quite a popular folk singer. My uncle was once the postmaster in a town in New South Wales called Goodnight.
Hi Ladies, I've been a subscriber for a while, and I've been waiting for you guys to get around to our beautiful country ❤️ fyi you're going to love it 😉
Hi, I'm British and I travelled in Australia in 2001-02. I visited literally all of the places featured in this video and I would recommend all of them. It's difficult to do, but you need to spend many weeks, if not months, in order to see it all. When you visit Uluru you also need to spend a night sleeping under the stars somewhere in the outback. Absolutely magical. And also visit the rainforest in the far north of Queensland. Two states I never visited were Western Australia and Tasmania. Neither of them were featured in this video, but I'm sure they would both be stunning in completely different ways. Got to go back! One day...
Head west next time. Not sure if it is doing so presently, but QANTAS was doing direct flights to Perth, the WA capital. It has a bit of everything; great beaches, two world class winery regions, the Swan Valley and Margaret River. Margaret River also has the advantage of having world class surf beaches (it's on the international pro surf tour) and great food. Perth has more than a few things to do. lots of museums, the Swan Valley winery region on its outskirts, and lots of bars and hotels. Rottnest Island is a nature reserve, and its main draw cars is its furry little ambassadors, the Quokkas (look up "Quokka Selfie" to see just how cute) Further out, you have tall forests, rolling hills that look like a more colourful version of the hills of Ireland. Kalgoorlie is an old gold mining city. They've been mining gold continuously there for almost 130 years Carnarvon to the north is where WA grows most of its tropical fruit. There's so many spots to see along the coastline. Always best if you have no particular itinerary, but remember to get off the road before sunset (too many animals on the road at night) Exmouth and the nearby reef, Ningaloo Reef is like a mini Great Barrier Reef, minus the excess of hotels There is a highway system across Australia called Highway One. It's like the US interstate system. If you were to drive the West Australian section of it, it would take you 49 hours of continuous driving, and would be close to 2500 miles.
@@kayelle8005 They're incredibly smart, but such happy little furballs. Then again, they have no real predators on Rottnest, and know they can wrap tourists around their little paw with their cuteness
@@Mechknight73 My ex and I drove across Australia about 20 years ago. I flew back but he drove around part Western Australia. I would love to go back and see the places you mention.
It's summer right now and, here in sub-tropical Brisbane, the temperature at 10am this morning was already 30C (86F) and 60% humidity, meaning an "apparent temp" of 33C (92F). Australia definitely has a winter in June/July and there are significant ski slopes in parts of the Snowy Mountains. Winter in Brisbane is mild with the lowest overnight temp ever recorded being 5C (41F). Generally warmer than that.
It's different every year. Can get hot as 122 fahrenheit in the center of Australia 50c and as hot as 116 fahrenheit elsewhere 47c. This year and last year didn't get that hot
Lifelong Sydney-ite here. Hope you make the trip, there is so much to see in Australia that this video doesn't even come close to mentioning. For one, I'd suggest checking out anything you can find on Canberra, the country's capital, which has a lot of interesting stuff (personally, I'd recommend the Australian War Memorial, but that's just me). Still plenty about Sydney and Melbourne to be learned too, btw. To say nothing of the other major cities - Perth, Darwin, Brisbane, Adelaide. In general, 80%+ of Aussies live in the south-east corner - Sydney - Melbourne - Canberra - Brisbane. There are towns and cities scattered all over, of course, but bear in mind that this is a BIG country. Australia is almost the size of the USA, but our population is only about 28 million. For perspective, that's roughly the same population as Los Angeles OR New York, by themselves. Also, we're VERY multicultural now - by and large, fairly successfully in that regard. There are plenty of stories about Australia's deadly wildlife, and they are true, but your odds of survival are actually very very good. Safety here is common sense stuff, like NOT swimming where there are signs saying SHARK, or not messing with any snakes you encounter, when hiking. The odds of meeting anything dangerous in an urban environment (other than humans, of course) is almost nonexistent. General guide on pronunciation of Aussie placenames. Generally, we put a hard primary emphasis on the first syllable and tend to swallow the rest. So, for Adelaide, it is "ADD-laid", Melbourne is "MELL-bin", Brisbane is "BRIZ-ban", and so on.
It takes a year to paint, when they’re done. They start over again. I consider you both honorary Aussies. Much love to you and I thank your father for his service Natasha.
I’m fortunate that on two visits to Australia I managed the first 5 on this list, unfortunately the Barrier Reef had to be missed out due to a tropical storm passing through. Australia truly is a fantastic destination, mind you the video did avoid mentioning that it’s also home to many of the most dangerous animals on earth, including the top 10 most venomous snakes. By the way, the bridge climb is fantastic, albeit rather expensive, I’m not great with heights but you are attached to a steel safety wire throughout, so you always feel safe, and the views are amazing.
Would love to do an extended trip but as don't like flying would have to be by sea. Do P&O still have a scheduled service ? Or even on a cargo/passenger ship(s) if they still exist ?
@@tonys1636 I don’t think there are scheduled sailings to Australia any more. Cruise liners do call there but, in most cases, you’d probably have to fly somewhere to meet up with the ship, and then your time there would be limited.
Hi ladies. I’m from Perth. This video neglected the largest state Western Australia. I’d recommend you check out any or all of the following: *Broome - Cable Beach (sunset camel rides) *Rottnest Island (home of the happiest critter on earth - the Quokka *Ningaloo Reef *The Kimberley region *Monkey Mia (where dolphins come close to shore and interact with humans) *Margaret River region (wineries) *The Pinnacles & Wave Rock *Lucky Bay Esperance (beach kangaroos, pristine waters) *WA’s capital city, Perth Coldest I’ve personally experienced in Perth is 32F (rare), it averages day temps 40-60F. The hottest I’ve experienced is 113F (also rare) the average summer day is 90-100F
Love the reaction! I would say that if you go down The Great Ocean Road one day, stop off at Anglesea and go to their bakery. They have award winning pies there, and I wish I could live there purely for those as well as the place itself 😂 As an Adelaide Aussie myself, we have The Festival Theatre, our Botanical Gardens and the Barossa Valley for wine and dining. Also, Adelaide has some hidden gems across the city, like the Baddog Bar. It’s a dark bar (spirits bar) which doesn’t have listed opening hours. You only know if it’s open if the light is on (safe bet is Saturday nights)
Hello Ladies, I'm from Melbourne and I was born here. Australia being in the southern hemisphere and USA in the northern hemisphere means our seasons are opposite, Summer in USA is Winter in Australia, Spring in USA is Fall in Australia and so on. The northern coastal area of Australia is tropical, warm to hot and very wet in Australia's Summer. The middle area of Australia has sub-tropical climate and is usually warm all year round, especially central Australia. Towards the south of mainland Australia is mainly cool and can be cold in Winter but mild in Spring and Fall but dry and hot for most of Summer. Tasmania which was not mentioned in this video will have mild to warm summers, and cold winters. Depending where you are in Australia, Melbourne average day temperatures are between 80F and 100F in Summer and between 50F and 70F in winter. Sydney is a little cooler than Melbourne is in summer and slightly warmer than Melbourne in winter. Brisbane's temperatures do not vary much and are warm and mild all year round but can be humid and wet in summer months.
That was fun! ❤ I love your reactions. I'm Kat from Melbourne, Victoria. There are so many beautiful places to see in Australia. As there are in NZ & I can only imagine how beautiful America is also. Uluru is breathtaking, one of my favourite places. The beaches & national parks are jaw dropping. When driving the great Ocean road it was hard as it is so beautiful & emotional. So my husband & I took a coach tour for the day, so we could Really see it & experience it fully. It's breathtaking. You will love it. 😊
Australia mainly entered my life through watching Neighbours and Home and Away growing up. More recently watching Dianne Buswell’s videos when she returns home. It always looks so beautiful. If I was in a position to go it would probably have to be in their Spring or Autumn as I don’t do well with too much heat. I don’t think I could be there for Christmas, as a Brit who likes to wish for a white one, seeing images of people on a beach feels all kinds of wrong 🤣
Home and away beach (palm beach not far from Sydney in a car ) is massive TV doesn't do it enough Justice you have to go there. Be carefull may get caught on camara when there filming lol
Hello Ladies!! Ok, so the weather varies greatly in Aus. You can get to around 123^ in the red centre. Can drop to well below freezing in the alps for winter. Perth & Brisbane (Bris-Bin) are usually warmer all year round than Syd or Melbourne (Mel-Bin) which are more seasonal. Avg around 78^ for summer, but that’s average. Sydney gets to 104^ no worries.
Just found your channel and have really enjoyed watching your reactions to Australia and our snacks. I’m from the West and you should really make plans to visit. You’ll definitely need more than one visit. 😂 Enjoy learning more!!
Hey ladies, great video but there is sooo much more to Oz than Sydney and Melbourne. There are 4 more states and 2 territories to visit and see there attractions and differences. I am from Western Australia which everyone from the east forgets about. We have a beautiful city called Perth, beautiful beaches, world famous wineries in the south west and some of the most stunning ancient land in our North West as well as waterfalls, Mt Augusta which is apparently bigger than Uluru but most of it is underground. The Kimberley region which is world heritage listed has the most amazing rock formations and huge waterfalls anywhere in the country and also you can stay on one of the biggest outback stations called El Questro, STUNNING but you must also visit South Australia, Queensland, Tasmania, Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory which has our capitol Canberra. Love your reactions!!
They certainly should have got an Australian narrator so the place names would be pronounced how an Australian would pronounce them. They didn't show enough of this amazingly beautiful and diverse country. I was born in the UK and my parents moved here to Sydney in pursuit of a better life and they definitely succeeded, not only is Australia beautiful but the lifestyle and people are generally easygoing and friendly, I hope you two get to visit one day soon I'm sure you would have a brilliant time.
Hi from Sydney. The dangerous creature thing is very overdone. If you live further north or inland you get snakes and bigger insects, but living 10kms from the Sydney CBD, I’ve never seen a snake or any poisonous spider in our large, tree filled, back garden. Crocodiles are very dangerous in waterways and beaches in the tropical areas, but don’t live in the wild anywhere else. When I walk through the national parks near Sydney the worst things I’ve come across are bull ants.
When I lived in Canberra there wasn’t a single day I didn’t see kangaroos and very summer saw at least one snake and of course lots of spiders. More urban places like Sydney and Melbourne it’s just cockroaches and the occasional spider. Unfortunately not so much wildlife. I miss the birds and Roos now that I live so close to the city. Don’t miss the snakes and magpies.
Actually Sydney is one of the likely places to see a poisonous spider, though snakes that close to the city are much rarer. But the spiders are greatly exaggerated considering the last confirmed death was in 1979 and the only possible but unconfirmed death since then in 2016 in very unusual circumstances I would be much more concern about being hit by a car than bitten by a spider.
Temp?, I live 90 mile east from Melb, and we can get snow in Winter, but it's rare, as for Summer, we can push 110f. Our weather is pretty stable though, except this Summer has been wetter than usual. PS, as a person who climbed Ayres Rock, when we could do so, they views from the top, are amazing. For eye candy, it's hard to go past Wilson's Promontory. I have travelled vastly across Australia, and still am in awe of the natural beauty this land contains.
Great reaction! You guys should visit 🙂. I live an hour away from The Great Ocean road so I'm bias that Melbourne and Victoria are the best hahaha. But I work all over Aust for work and there is so much to see and do. If you come...don't do it in just 2 weeks. Take the time to venture and see as much as you can. I used to travel to the US 2 to 3 times a year. Yes it's a long flight but it's worth it!!!
You need to visit all the states and their capitals, not just the East. Western Australia, I think, is by far the most diverse, has the best climate, andis the largest. The whole vast interior of Australia, is mostly red earth desert, bush and scrub. When it’s winter in the northern hemisphere it is summer in the south, so Christmas is at the height of very hot summers.
Just found your channel 🙂 I'm in Melbourne (pronounced Melb'n) and I think it's the best city in Australia. Cafè culture, parks & gardens, night-life, shopping, theatre, comedy, sports - something for everyone. We're also a hour or two from the Great Ocean Road, Yarra Valley (pronounced with two short a's, not 'Yahra' as the narrator said) and Mornington Peninsula, to name a few lovely places. Melbourne's climate is temperate (warm summers, cold to cold winters and changeable springs/autumns). That said, Australia is so big that we have all kinds of climate and landscapes, from tropical rainforests to snowy mountains and everything in between. As for the less touristy places, North Stradbroke Island off the coast of Brisbane is absolutely gorgeous. Miles of unspoiled beaches, whales frolicking in the waves, and a low-key family vibe.
Hi ladies, the video showed only a small number of must see places, they totally missed Tasmania which in my biased opinion is the prettiest state of the lot. find a video and check it out . I've done the Sydney Bridge climb, that was amazing at sunset, I've driven the Great ocean road, and toured the blue mountains, but Tasmania is still my favourite of all.
Hi guys from Melbourne... good to see you are dipping your toes into the wonders of Australia (Oz).... I have seen many of your UK reactions so welcome to Oz. There are many videos to react to... check them ALL. :-)
Western Australia truly touched my heart and I was going to apply for a visa but plans changed unfortunately. Flying over to the east is on my to-do list and I want to stay at Qualia in the Hamilton islands. After WA, the east probably can't live up to the unspoilt wild nature of the outback except for the great barrier reef. I've been advised to stay away from the main tourist routes that take away from nature
Some short videos I'd recommend to get a feel of Western Australia (theyre not educational, just gorgeous): ruclips.net/video/LduJqd2b-vU/видео.html ruclips.net/video/IgtfG2OJ2ks/видео.html
We have camped on Fraser Island a couple of times and it is stunning. One of the things that surprised us there, is that there is no airstrip as such. The light planes land on the beach, which happened to be just near where we were camped! We would sit there with our cups of tea watching the planes come in😂. The rangers put out traffic cones to warn drivers there’s a plane about to land! Beautiful place!
i know some one who live s there.. u shud do New Zealand next please please , they are spiders . crocodiles ,snakes ,sharks can swim quite far inland too,
Love you girls 🥰. You should check out Queensland …. Im biased I’m a Queenslander. I live in Canada and miss my home country 🥲. But also no offence to Canadians I love Canada …. Even though it’s so flipping cold for most of the year! 🙃. Anyways, there is so much more - I’ve lived in most of these regions of Australia . Enjoy and explore on line 👍😘
My Uncle and Aunty used to own and run a coral shop in Townsville many years ago, and he also started the venture with the glass bottom boats along with the floating hotel. I was lucky enough to spend time with them when I was younger, exploring their amazing shop and taking a trip on the boats.
I'm from Melbourne Australia. Not always warm. Well known that we can get 4 seasons in one day as it changes. But summer is December-Feb anywhere from 25°C-45°C, Autumn (Fall) is March-May, Winter is June-August coldest at night gets to like 2°C. Usually daytime not colder than 10°C and Spring is September-November. What I love about Victoria/Melbourne is you can be in the city then drive a couple of hours or less sometimes and be in a Forrest or farmland etc. Plenty to see and do. Happy to advise or give a tour!
@The Natasha & Debbie Show sorry the temperature is in Celsius not Fahrenheit. Not familiar at all with it! Also watched all your other videos and with the AFL video you watched I think another one would explain it a little better ruclips.net/video/u_SqfNNfhmM/видео.html My team is Richmond Tigers. Yellow and Black!!
Hello Australia! We are ashamed it took this long for us to do this video. However, It was DEFINITELY worth the wait as Australia is absolutely gorgeous!! Seriously, from the beautiful blue waters, white sand beaches, rock formations, forests, to everything in between! Australia really seems to have it all! We know one video cannot show us everything about any Country but this was a stunning introduction for us. We really hope you enjoy it too. We would love to do more on Australia, please let us know in the comments if you would like us to.

I live in Perth, after having moved here from the UK in 2006, summers here can be up to 110F and can stay like that for a few days, but it's rare. mid january to mid february tends to be the hottest temps. Winter times it doesn't freeze but can get down to the high 30s Fahrenheit over night but during the day it would normally be somewhere around the mid 50s Fahrenheit or slightly warmer. Temperature can change dramatically day to day though...I know we've had a change of over 20F between one day and the next as we get winds in from the Antarctic quite frequently...all comes down to how close to the coast you live (I'm only about 3 miles from the coast and am about 20 miles south of Perth itself).
For a beautiful and unique national park check out Kakadu
The thing that it can't show is that Australians are good people. Many British people like me love it because it's like Britain used to be. Also you won't want to leave. But when you do you will want to keep going back.
Nah, she’ll be right. Better late than never.
Giving this an instant thumbs up. I’m a Brit who’s been living in Australia for over 15 years, and still loving it. It’s a big and weird and wonderful country, and some of the most fascinating stuff is off the tourist trails. The Great Ocean Road is amazing though, but if you’re going to drive that you should set aside time for a visit to Erskine Falls, the Loch Ard Gorge, and maybe take a scenic helicopter ride over the Twelve Apostles. And if you’re visiting Melbourne you should time it for one of the sporting events the city puts on, whether cricket, Formula One, Grand Slam tennis, or Australian Rules Football, arguably the maddest team sport there is. There’s a couple of What Is AFL videos to explain the game to newbies that you could do a fun reaction vid to. You could also maybe do a reaction to The Emu War (spoiler: the emus won). Drunken History Australia did a good summary of The Emu War. You should also watch a video of the Penguin Parade on Phillip Island, which is another big draw for tourists in the Melbourne area. I'm not spoiling this one - just go and find a vid on it, and if you visit Australia go do the Penguin Parade. It's bloody magical.
And really it’s not that far. Sure, 15 hours from LAX to Sydney or Melbourne sounds long, but I did it after flying about 9 hours from London to LA first.
Climate wise, it’s hard to talk about average temperatures because of the size of the country. Australia is about the same area as the lower 48 US states and stretches from the humid tropics in the north to almost being in the Southern Ocean. In Victoria, the state Melbourne is capital of, we have chilly winters that are near but not quite freezing and we can peak at 100-105F in summer. But up in the high country we have winter ski fields too, and at the other extreme there are plenty of bits that get Death Valley kind of hot and very occasionally people die out there. And yes you’re both right about the seasons. As with New Zealand they’re simply reversed. Summer is December to February, then autumn is in the northern hemisphere springtime, winter is June to August and spring starts in September. Autumnal Easter is a bit weird but Christmas in summer is brilliant and I never want to go back to having Christmas in the cold and dark of a British winter.
I am an American who visited Australia 20 years ago. A year later I moved here and never looked back. Became an Aussie citizen last year. Come visit. It will change you. Although I can't believe they didn't mention Tasmania or Darwin.
or South Australia or Western Australia. They did like showing "The Coathanger" a zillion times, though.
Sadly they always leave Tasmania out, i live there and it's a whole different experience again compared to the mainland.
cos Tasmania is a bunch of incest lovers
@@rjswasI guess kissing your father on the lips is a different experience isn’t it?
@@MateoWihogni childish much
Australia is about the same size as the mainland USA. We have tropics up north with ancient rainforests, coral reefs and pristine white sand beaches. Inland there are red dirt deserts that are the size of countries they have beautiful rock formations, and are incredible for stargazing. The Eastern States have mountain ranges and the alpine region of the Snowy Mountains gets more snow than the Swiss Alps in Winter and is a great destination for skiing and snowboarding during our winter. On the West Coast you have some of the most incredible coastline and untouched beaches and islands you can explore and Western Australia stretches up to the tropics and also has the Kimberly’s which is another National Park filled with red rock gorges and rivers and can be explored on boat tours. Finally off the Southern Coast is Tasmania which is wild, windswept and rugged but it is one of many artisan food regions in Australia famous for its dairy products, apples & cherries. Australians love nature and we love good food and drink. I hope you get to visit here one day 😊
I'm from WA aka Western Australia the 2nd largest state in the world (after one in Russia). People often don't realise how massive Australia is thus the vastly different landscapes can be surprising (that vid didn't even mention WA or Tasmania). Places to visit in WA I recommend are Rottnest Island, Ningaloo reef, Karajini National Park, Bungle Bungle Ranges, Valley of the Giants and the Beaches around Esperence.
"Bungle Bungle Ranges"?!? Come on you obviously made that up.
I was about to add these I would also add around Broome, Kununurra as well there are some lovely places to visit up north and the Gibb River Road
I forgot to add that I am from WA as well
@@nbartlett6538 yep bungle bungle ranges are a thing
@N Bartlett a lot of our place names are directly taken from the local Aboriginal tribe's terms for these places. Some other place names to boggle you: Wagga Wagga, Woolloomooloo, Mooloolaba, Buddabadah... and I guarantee you'll pronounce them all wrong lol
Hi ladies! I'm from Brisbane, in Queensland. There are so many amazing places to visit, but be aware the Australia is almost the same size as the lower 48, so of course, there are many different climates. Up here in QLD, our winters are mild and our summers are hot. Down in Tasmania, it's more like the UK climate. Love the videos x
Hi Ladies, I am a Scotsman who moved to Australia in 1967 as a 17 year old boy and I planned to stay here for about 4 years but I met a wonderful Australian girl then had a fabulous 40 year marriage until she tragically died. I live in the Blue Mountains and truly love it. Yes we do have lots of deadly creatures. I live on an average block of land, 200 by 100 feet with lots of trees and shrubs and there are highly dangerous spiders like the Funnel Web, Trapdoor, Wolf and Redback. We never leave shoes outside the back door as the spiders go inside them then before putting them on you must knock them on the ground to let the spiders get out. We also have quite a few deadly poisonous snakes like Eastern Browns, Tiger snake. Death Adder and my favourite the Red-Bellied Black Snake. When I walk around the yard I will clump my feet and they will usually slither away.You must be careful not to tread on them or the will strike. I have 2 favourites, one is a 7 foot Diamond python which is very placid and keeps the vermin under control. My special snake is a 6 foot long highly venomous Red-Belly which does not mind being picked up as long as I am slow and gentle. Regularly when I am sitting in the yard in the sun it will slither over and lay across my feet .Naturally there are hundreds of birds especially Parrots, Cockatoos and Kookaburras. It is a truly magical place.
you been in Oz since 1967 married an Aussie girl mate your not a Scotsman your an Australian
@@Eqium I still use my British passport and I am classed as a British Subject with Australian residency rights. When I travel overseas I have to apply for a re-entry visa and return within a certain time, if not then I will not have an automatic right to re-enter Australia.
I came over from Scotland in 1962 at the age of 3.5 years old.
@Rodney 1984 Australia has been truly wonderful to me and this is where I want to end my days but of course with many more years to enjoy first..
We regularly get a bunch of birds visit us in our garden (inner-city, Sydney), including Rainbow Lorikeets, Australian Ravens, Corellas, Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos, Galahs, Australian Ibis (locally known as 'Bin Chickens').
As a Kiwi, I do love the Australian country and scenery etc. Hope you do more there, then get the chance to visit New Zealand.
As an Australian I love the beauty of NZ as well. Just got back from a family holiday there. We are two very lucky countries.
I am Australian but I think New Zealand is absolutely beautiful. 3:54
I'm an Aussie who's never been out of my own country 😅 but think your country is as beautiful as mine, I do wish to go there one day, I have family in NZ...
@@21_f_aus Two completely different types of beauty.
New Zealand is absolutely amazing - sending love for your gorgeous country! My family took campervans on South island (my favourite, especially the area around Milford Sound! Minus the sandflies). I honestly cannot wait to get back there! :)
Wilson’s Promontory is a national park in Victoria. 2 hours south of Melbourne. It’s stunning, the wildlife is incredibly diverse, it’s peaceful and there is a beach that squeaks!
I’m British but my brother has lived in Australia for almost 40 years . I have visited in the past and loved it . Melbourne is a fabulous city , very diverse , lots of things to do , amazing dining out , spectacular scenery . I’ve travelled the Great Ocean Road , been to Torquay seen the 12th apostles at Apollo Bay , the scenery there is amazing . We went to Ballarat a throw back from the old gold mining days , a very well done living museum , I panned for golf … sadly I found none .
Australia is well worth the long flight , beautiful country
You girls are fabulous! Because you’re inquisitive like I am. Intriguing watching something about others countries. I am Australian, however I do live with my family in Canada for the past 10 years. Canada is beautiful but I have to say you don’t know what you take for granted until you live away for a long stretch of time …. Isn’t the same for most of us? I recently went home after 10 years and I didn’t realize just how much I missed my homeland. You know what they say …. You can take the girl out of the country but not the country out of the girl?! 🤪. Anyway, love you gals 🥰. I’m going to be biased here - but before I’d like to say I’ve lived in or visited most of these ‘destinations’ in Oz … so in saying that at the end of the day I’m a Queenslander. Be interesting for you to check out Queensland (that has the Great Barrier Reef straddling it) but even more diverse than that. I also (among others) lived in Jabiru with the national park - Kakadu - surrounding us. Just to give you an even more broader perspective. Love you guys AGAIN 🥰❤️💕💋💋💋💋
Sovereign Hill is a terrific place to visit. The trick to panning there back in the day was to be downstream from everyone else. You caught the gold that everyone else spilled.
Yes I live in Melbourne it’s a wonderful city and Victoria has so much to offer.
Yes most people in Ballarat get a year pass to go to Sovereign Hill as it's cheaper. Next time you visit, come during the June/July school holidays as they have a 'Winter Wonderlights' Festival. Sovereign Hill is lit up with thousands of Xmas lights and light and sound show. It's a play on Xmas in July as our actual Christmas is Hot 🔥
The Great Ocean Road is on the west coast road. If you drive it, stay on the left side of the road.
The climate in Australia is very diverse as it's such a big place, I came here from the UK just for three months of work, that was back in 1997 and I'm still here!
Away from the populated areas (the coast mainly) there's almost no light pollution and looking up at the stars is absolutely beautiful, it's breathtaking.
I came on a working holiday in 1990. Still here😊🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
i'm from the UK, always wanted to visit Australia, l finally made it at the age of 66 (4 years ago) it's a beautiful country, we drove from Adelaide to Sydney along the old coast road it took a week.
That’s a big drive for a UK person, how’d you go?
I'm a long haul truck driver, and have been to every mainland state and territory in mainland Australia except the Australian Capital Territory (the Australian equivalent of Washington DC) The Nullarbor Plain is accessible via the Eyre highway. Stunning scenery, although it is a very long drive.
Western Australia hasn't been mentioned at all, and we on the west coast are a little too used to being ignored. Places to look up on the west Coast:
Esperance
Monkey Mia
Margaret River
Kalgoorlie
Broome
Kununurra
Karajini National Park
Lancelin (you did mention driving in the sand, this is a good one for sand dunes you're allowed to drive on)
The Swan Valley
Albany
Climate will vary across the state. In winter, places like Albany to the far south will hover around zero (about 33 degrees) of a morning, warming up to about 18-20 (68 degrees) Further up the coast, the winter can be of a similar morning temperature to the afternoon in Albany, to warm up to around 30 degrees (about 86 degrees) in winter, or in extreme cases in summer, 122 degrees
A hint on how to pronounce Melbourne like an Aussie - make it short. We say 'Mel-bin', very quickly (Mel-b'n). I know this was only an introduction, but it missed out so much! It didn't include my beautiful state Tasmania which gets snow in winter and has amazing and unique wilderness and history; the stunning forests and wine regions of the Margaret River area of Western Australia (WA) and the amazing WA coastline; Cape York and the Daintree World Heritage Area in far north Queensland, to name just a few. So much more to explore!
Western Australia is WEST, not east! The south west forests and the Margaret River area and all the wineries (vineyards) are great to visit. Perth is a beautiful city too, with the Kings Park only allowing West Australian plants…..many unique and completely different to the flora in the east.
@@wendyfield7708 My original comment was very poorly worded. I was referring to the Margaret River area. I've edited my comment.
No. Mel-bon
What about the MCG?!?!!!
There's a lot to do in Melbourne. Winter temps range from high 50s to high 30s Fahrenheit. Summer is high 60s to over 100F. Not this year, one day up to the low 90s the rest in the 70s.
G'day girls I suggest watching videos of every state in Australia, there are too many beautiful places to favour your best bet is watch as many as you can each state is unique and have so many beautiful things to do and see. Thank you for finally seeing an Aussie video xx good luck xx
Ok.... I did not know: 1) that the Great Ocean Road was built by Return Troopers 2) We have the Worlds Largest War Memorial and 3) they are one and the same. Well done girls, love learning about Aussie history. Thanks from Down Under. PS: have a look at our cute wild life.
Australia is roughly the same size as the USA. You can imagine the big differences in temperatures, climates and terrain you have there. Australia too has big changes like this. Six different climate groups, from the tropics in the north to the temperate regions in the south. So we have everything from rainforests to deserts, bush lands and mountain ranges to name a few. It’s a big country and lots of beauty to see.
And if you want to say Good day ! Say it like Gud dayyyy! Say it fast ....?
Thank you so much! Australia is a beautiful country. I live in New Zealand so we are neighbours! 😊 I would love to see more of Aussie and maybe if possible a reaction on New Zealand Love your channel, keep up the amazing work
(Tune in next week) 🤫
Yes please, would love to see what you think of NZ.
Yes, New Zealand is fascinating for it's amazing scenery from sub-tropical in the north to glacier country and fjords in the south - not to mention the thermal geology round Rotorua. Check out Bay of Islands in the north, and Abel Tasman national park in South Island. A wonderful country for an outdoor lifestyle.
Loved this video. Make more on Australia. So proud to be Australian. The Whitsundays are an absolute must if you ever visit.
Oh Wow!!!! I always knew Australia was beautiful but there was a lot in there I didnt know....fantastic video ladies
❤
The Great Ocean Road is a must do drive , I have done in many times and love it. So much beauty and half way is the awesome Otways rainforest
Hello Debbie and Natasha. I’ve been to Australia a few times. It’s spectacular. Each time I’ve been on organised tours and they covered most of the tour spots. The one I really liked was a tour by rail. I flew to Perth in the Wast, then by the Indian Pacific for 2 nights to Adelaide. A few days there, then North to Alice Springs on the Ghan for 1 night, after visiting Uluru (Ayres Rock) I flew on to Cairns, a few nights there. Then by rail on the Karunda line back to Cairns and a trip out to the Barrier Reef. Next our final rail trip overnight to Brisbane. We ended up in Sydney for a few days and then flew home. A great way to see the many aspects of the magnificent country. We covered the west at Perth, the outback & goldfields and the Nullarbor Plain (no trees), the red centre, the Tropical rain forests, the Pacific coast and surfing and the large cities. Was quite expensive and took 18 days. Yes, we saw loads of kangaroos, crocodiles etc, didn’t see any snakes or poisonous spiders!
Wow sounds like a great holiday! You probably saw more that a lot of Aussies have seen. Good on ya !
Hi from Townsville, Qld. We are lucky to have the great barrier reef practically on our doorstep. Glad to hear you want to visit our beautiful, lucky country! That video didn't even scratch the surface of our stunning country.
Good morning ladies. It's great to see you visiting other branches of our extended family and continuing our entertaining and educational journey with you. As you have already looked into the differences between British English and American English, you may find it interesting to check out Australian English; our Antipodean cousins also have a colourful variation of the mother tongue.
I drive over the Sydney Harbour Bridge every day, and it never ceases to amaze me how stunning the Harbour is. It'll take your breath away if you ever visit.
Our winter and summer seasons are opposite to yours with average temps (Sydney) in summer ranging between 68f to upwards of 100f and in winter anywhere between 32f to 68f.
To contrast in Melbourne, since we are further south than Sydney, we are a bit cooler. In summer average temperatures are between 57°F to 77.5°F, and in winter the averages are between 44°F to 57°F. However in winter, temperatures can get as low as 27°F in some places; compared to the unlikely 100°F of summer.
It never gets old, does it? Absolutely love our harbour.
Great to see you both as always. I’ve been to Australia a few times and been to Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast and Brisbane. I’ve driven down the Great Ocean Road, it’s spectacular and been to the blue mountains and Bondi also. Lovely country and your video brought back a lot of memories ❤
Thanks for sharing!
Adelaide is verrry underrated!! It's amazing for its beaches and the wineries! love living here🥰🥰
Being from Sydney, they show you the main attractions. However, that is only scratching the surface - the Central Coast, Port Stephens and the Hunter Valley are a stones throw away that provide similar and more. The Hunter is one of NSW's wine countries which has many fantastic restaurants that pair the wine with the meals...
And the South Coast is stunning!
I lived in Newcastle for years and it’s amazing how little people know how beautiful it is! The beaches and coastline are absolutely stunning and it’s transformed massively from the industrial town it used to be. We used to do day trips to the Central Coast all the time and would even drive to Port Stephens for dinner at a favourite restaurant. So many attractions nearby. I miss it.
Nice idea to take a look at 🇦🇺 Australia , what a beautiful Country , l enjoyed learning a bit more about the land down under⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hi from Brisbane, Australia. I went snorkeling at Great Barrier Reef. Beautiful warm waters and beautiful colourful fishes and turtles.
Hi 👋
I’ve lived in WA Western Australia for 40 years and still only seen less than 1% of the stunning scenery here. Feel so lucky to be an Aussie.😊👍🏼❤️🇦🇺
You must live in Perth.. I had a mate from Queensland who went and lived there.. apparently you guys don’t like going even 100 km from your houses..
You all need to harden up
I've been all over the place but have never been too WA. Though Tassie I was only 2 so not sure that counts, but I still remember bits. I might see you in a few years though as I'm trying to get enough money to buy a caravan. Also want to see the Great Ocean Road.
im in vic and went to the grampians with a bunch of tourists that have seen more of my country than me.. im here planting vegies at home haha. im so glad i was born aussie
@@gmans777 No, that's when it's commuting to work. Many of them become grey nomads when they retire
Great video guys 👍Australia looks really nice and it's huge hah with so much to see. Ayers Rock and the Great Barrier Reef look awesome. Some people still live near the Great Barrier Reef like a lot of the Aboriginal people still live in the nearby islands but yeah the actual reef itself is a protected area. It's fascinating how they built the Sydney Bridge, there's some videos on here that show how it was built 👍I've always loved Australian movies like classics like Picnic At Hanging Rock because of the scenery. It really is a beautiful country.
Yes, Sydney Harbour bridge sections were joined together with rivets before welding replaced riveting in the 1940s
Hi from Sydney! The Harbour Bridge was shut this week to allow Ryan Gosling to film a stunt for his next movie. You’ll see it in film again soon. Temperature? We have snow, the Snowy Mountains get a wider (not deeper) coverage of snow annually than the Swiss Alps. In Sydney we often wear T-shirts in winter, but if the wind swings around and comes up from the Antarctic, we need every jacket we can get. The deadly things are very rarely seen in cities. Americans who visit the Blue Mountains often say it’s like the Grand Canyon with trees. The sky at Uluru (no Aussies call it Ayers Rock now it has been transferred back to the original owner First Nations people) is so dense with stars because Uluru is so remote and there is no light pollution; they’re different constellations, including the Southern Cross that appears on the Aussie and New Zealand flags. Kakadu National Park is otherworldly, Coober Pedy is an intriguing mining town built mostly underground to escape the intense summer heat there.
There are plenty of funnel Web Spider's in Sydney and Brown Snakes from the inner North Shore through to the Central Coast (Terrigal, Wamberal etc).
@@fortymillioncoins9066 In our previous house in the lower northern suburbs, our side of the street backed onto the National Park. You are most probably correct that there are plenty of snakes and funnel-webs there. I can’t say with any certainty because no one in the street saw any in the 11 years I lived there. We had echidnas, bush turkeys, owls, kookas, and all sorts of parrots and keets, so maybe some of those took care of the spiders and snakes if any ventured from the bush.
@@Bellas1717 Most certainly we had funnel web spiders in Neutral Bay and Brown Snakes in Northbridge in suburbia. I had to rescue baby Brown snakes and take them to Zoo hospital.
@@fortymillioncoins9066 My rescue was a fairy penguin with a broken wing we took to Taronga. Happy not to have swapped for yours. Cheers.
I'm glad you like our country. I live coastally to Melbourne (Melbin). I grew up in The Blue Mountains. We had native animals to care for and we had survivalist training in the wilderness with aboriginal people as teachers. Today the blue mountains still is in my heart. It would snow in August and November. It would have bushfires and dust devils but rain alot too. It can be as cold as -5°C in winter and as high as 45°c in summer. The blue hue is very much real.
The Great Ocean Rd is a beautiful drive, I’ve driven it many times
Hi from NSW Australia 🇦🇺 😊 ☺️ 💕
I have driven the Great Ocean Road many many times and every time you see something new you missed before. I also have flown over the 12 Apostille's in a Helicopter it was awesome! It is a Must drive for any visitor the History is so valuable and rich.
Our Summer is when you have Winter. We are opposite to your seasons ie: Summer is your Winter, Autumn here is your Spring etc.
The best thing is there is affordable places to live along the great Ocean road.
They turn the Melbourne Cricket Ground into the Football oval after cricket season for the AFL season and Grand Final also.
Great video, he only touched on all that there is to see in Australia.
A Brit here who's been living in Brisbane, Australia 5 years now.
What Australia lacks in castles, stately homes it makes up for in the most amazing landscapes and wildlife.
Definitely needs to be on your list of places to visit
we should build a castle
@@DaveWhoa there is one up Nambour way.
A must see is Tasmania, incredibly beautiful mountains, rainforests and beaches
I love Strahan, Cradle Mountain area with Dove Lake, and The Tarkine. Bruny Island too.
What a beautiful country. Loved this video xx
My brother and his partner went over to visit friends from the UK eight years ago. They absolutely loved it, he said he can totally see why people emigrate. I tracked their plane going over there and the longest part of their journey was flying from eastern to Western Australia. I couldn’t believe how vast it was xx
I flew from Sydney to Heathrow via Bangkok and was feeling SO travel sick I wanted to die. Looked at the in- flight tracker and yep, 5 hours in and we were still over Australia 😂
Beautiful, I have family in Australia but have never been. One cousin and her husband are lucky enough to have toured around there own country and sends the most beautiful photos. Again a great video girlies. Xx
The rainforest in qld are also amazing you should look at them
Ozzie peeps wasn't it Kangaroo Island that got absolutely decimated by the wildfires? I know everywhere did but I feel like it was mentioned on a programme called Animal Park in the UK who sent several of their keepers out to help rescue and revive koalas.
Yes, it did. 😢
Yes sadly it did suffer the wild fires.
Unfortunately, in the devastating bush fires across Australia, they estimate we lost approx a million Koalas, as well as a multitude of other native animals. As well as many ppl lost. Terrible time!
G’Day, Good video,Thanks for showing interest in my beautiful country…Cheers ❤️💖🦘🦘🇦🇺
Great video girls I really enjoyed it...
I was so fortunate to visit my brother and sister in law in 2015, we stayed in Perth then went to their home in Albany, check it out it's an amazing place, most of the Australian fleet left there in the wars, they have lots of memorials and the fantastic Anzac center.. I loved every minute of it, hopefully get back some day x
I have travelled to your country 5 times in the last 20 years and have had a lot of questions about Australia while I was there. I love that you are taking the time to learn because a much a I love your country I did find that we knew more about your country than they did about ours. You have a new subscriber in me😊.
I live in Western Australia, the big state on the map, the south west has some gorgeous places and up north is amazing too (still to get there). We drove over the nullarbor to Melbourne and back, something we ticked off our bucket list and I realised just how big the country is. Melbourne is gorgeous, quite a cool state compared to the west but so many beautiful places to see and we drove the great ocean road, it was stunning. We lived further south of melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula (always have to be near water). The temps in the west get extremely hot summer (1st dec - end of Feb) average temp is between 35-40 C (95-104F) but sometimes hotter than that. Winter doesnt get as cold as USA and where we are we dont get snow, but we did visit some of the snow places in Victoria when we lived there. SA is a lovely state too. Would love to see you check out more videos on the states and attractions that were mentioned in this one (this was more east coast based).
The thing is, Australia is such a big country that you'd need months to see it all. Most tourists go to the east coast (Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast etc) but I think Western Australia is very underrated. White sand beaches, forests, desert, Rottnest Island, the coral coast (with the gorgeous Ningaloo Reef) and the outback. Australia is like the US with its vastly different scenery (mountains, forests, beaches, desert) and different climates depending on where you are in the country.
And Australia is almost the same size as the contiguous United States.
They missed Tasmania which is something you might want to check out. Cradle Mountain and the Freycenet National Park are particularly beautiful. ☺️
check out white haven beach. all beaches in oz are public beaches. private beachs may be seen inland bays but never on the coast .
Australia is similar in size to the continental United States. Some areas receive more snow than Switzerland, while others are tropical. I live about 2 hours south of Sydney and we have some spectacular national parks and coastal scenery. Really enjoyed your reaction to all things Aus. Cheers!
In Australia we have so many diverse landscapes! There’s the red rock outback desert, there’s tropical blue-green beaches and rainforests, valleys and mountains of Tasmania, pink lakes, snow and several ski resorts - look past the stereotypes of it being a big hot desert as it’s far from that ! Great reaction and thanks for appreciating our beautiful country ❤️ 🇦🇺
In answer to your question about the temps, it depends where you are but in Sydney Summer will be anything from 75 to 98 with an average of 79-80. Winter on average you might see about 64-70.
Yep and the ACT, Victoria and Tasmania get a lot colder.
Yeh, walking to work at 4:30 am in -15c is something else😂
Please note it's pronounced Melb-n. We have the Snowy Mountains which apparently get more snow than Switzerland, so, yes, it gets very cold in parts. As usual, only Sydney and Melbourne get mentioned. We have other beautiful cities, including Brisbane, Adelaide, Hobart and Perth. You have never seen stars until you see a Northern Territory night! That is just a taster of what we have. Great reaction.
Greetings from Brisbane! Just a couple of recommendations for places to visit here: the island state of Tasmania is a must see IMO - lots of charming European style villages and breathtaking scenery for days! A lesser known area is the Far North Coast of New South Wales where you'll find some of the best beaches Australia has to offer. Oh, and the Border Ranges National Park is in the same region, so lots of great hiking there if you're into that.
You could spend 10 years exploring and only see a fraction of this amazing country
I'm an Aussie, living in the Geelong area about an hour south of Melbourne, and not far from the start of the Great Ocean Road (GOR). Beautiful part of Australia, and now I feel like I need to make a trip again along the GOR (the acronym for it locally). You are right that this video is just touching on some of the amazing places in Australia...it completely left out Western Australia which is a beautiful part of Australia, and very different to the east coast. Perth, the capital of Western Australia, is one of my absolute favourite cities to visit. It also didn't touch on Tasmania (or Tassie as we call it), our beautiful island state south of the state of Victoria (Melbourne is the capital city of Victoria - we say it Melbin, just remember we shorten the sounds in a lot of things we say). We have beautiful wine regions too such as the Barossa Valley in South Australia, the Yarra Valley in Victoria, the Hunter region of NSW and Margaret River in Western Australia. I've been to the Great Barrier Reef twice and could happily keep going back. My teenage kid has said to me that Australia has everything, you can see everything here, and I have to agree it has so much diversity.
Im from geelong too😊
Big country, slightly smaller to the USA but with a tiny population of just 26 million. We have skifields in three states, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmannia. We get more snow annually than Switzerland. Aussies are great skiers too, with many of us oldies having been taught by Austrian and German ski instructors during the 60s and 70s.
Check out other videos showing other areas. It's only 14 hours from Los Angeles to Sydney. New Zealand is just a short hop of 2-3 hours and definitely needs to be incorporated into visiting our Southern shores.
Our country is clean.
The video was very American with their pronunciation. I'm located in Central Queensland at the southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef. There are a lot of small towns with something worth seeing if you're up to a road trip with the Bundaberg rum factory two hours drive from me. Far North Queensland has a lot of natural beauty as well and Brisbane is always my favourite city.
Just a couple of tips they missed in the video were the cafè culture throughout all of Australia is huge in Sydney and Melbourne as well as the streets of Melbourne being an artists gallery of street art. If you don't want to go to the beach all the time, we have a number of ski resorts in New South Wales and Victoria like Thredbo, Perisher and Mt Buller.
There is something for everyone and our temperatures range from as 41°f to 46°f depending on where in the country you are at what time of the year. It does get hotter and colder than that, but that's a general range.
I’m so glad you lovely Ladies like my homeland.
I’m a proud Veteran who proudly served in the Middle East side by side with your brave American Soldiers.
You MUST visit my beautiful country.
Take care !!!
Often missed off the map but little old Tasmania is worth a look cool in winter warm summers , southern island state.
If you want to see a great Australian scenic video that plays the song called (Great southern land) that video is very cool I’m from Queensland Australia it filled me with a lot of emotions seeing it 😊
Welcome to Australia Natasha and Debbie- been following your love of the UK which is definitely understandable, and especially the Military 👍🏻 I lived and worked there for a number of months in late 1979 and fell in love with the country- nice to see you decided to visit our country for a change - I personally think we have a great country but it is very different from the UK and probably from the USA - hope you get to see a video of the Cairns area and the northern tropics up here - worth a look ladies 😘👍🏻🇦🇺
Your country looked wonderful and ANYONE who visited it couldn't help but fall in love with it too. Lots of love from the UK
@@JJ-of1ir - thank you 😘🇦🇺
Blue Mountains... Scenic World is a good stop for tourists... Its a skyrail that shows you a "birds eye view" of the 3 Sisters. For Koalas, you can either go to the Australian Reptile Park for a up close photo with a Koala, Roos, Snakes and even the odd Tassie Devil. If you like wine, then the Hunter Valley is definitely the place to visit. Small zoo in the area and the main attraction, other then all the wineries would be the Hunter Valley Gardens (14 Hectares).
Animal lover and enjoy history?? Travel out west a bit to Dubbo for the open plains zoo and a bit further to Parkes to see the Dish.
Temp... its currently 16 degrees celcius where I live... which makes it about 60 Farenheit, we are in Autumn (fall) and its 2220 or 10pm in the evening. If you don't like heat, do not come in Dec, Jan & Feb...
I live in Newcastle, which is about 2hrs north of Sydney. "Newie" doesn't have the high-rise buildings like Sydney or Melbourne but its steeped in History, being the 2nd Oldest City in Aus.
I live about an hour away from The Great Ocean Road in a place called Ballarat. We are famous for the Victorian Gold rush in the 1800s and the Eureka Stockade. There are more in depth videos for each state but definitely check out Geography Now's episode about Australia.
My brother has lived in Melbourne for almost 40 years , on visits we drove the Great Ocean Road and visited Ballarat , the scenery is amazing and Ballarat living museum was one of the highlights of our visits , well worth the 24 hour flight from the UK
@@mariejoyce5150 My mums side of the family are originally from the UK too, mum moved here when she was 4.5yrs old in 1966 (Adelaide S.A)
I loved that,thankyou.Somewhere I've always wanted to go.Loved seeing you girls so much this last weekend too!xx
I’ve always wanted to visit Australia, mainly because I have relatives in Melbourne, some of whom I’ve never met such as my cousin Daniel Champagne who is quite a popular folk singer. My uncle was once the postmaster in a town in New South Wales called Goodnight.
I live in Oz, Daniel is an amazing guitarist! Oh and I spent a night in Goodnight.
Hi Ladies, I've been a subscriber for a while, and I've been waiting for you guys to get around to our beautiful country ❤️ fyi you're going to love it 😉
Hi, I'm British and I travelled in Australia in 2001-02. I visited literally all of the places featured in this video and I would recommend all of them. It's difficult to do, but you need to spend many weeks, if not months, in order to see it all. When you visit Uluru you also need to spend a night sleeping under the stars somewhere in the outback. Absolutely magical. And also visit the rainforest in the far north of Queensland.
Two states I never visited were Western Australia and Tasmania. Neither of them were featured in this video, but I'm sure they would both be stunning in completely different ways. Got to go back! One day...
When you come back definitely visit Tassie and Perth and head over to Rottnest Island to see the quokkas. 😊
Head west next time. Not sure if it is doing so presently, but QANTAS was doing direct flights to Perth, the WA capital. It has a bit of everything; great beaches, two world class winery regions, the Swan Valley and Margaret River. Margaret River also has the advantage of having world class surf beaches (it's on the international pro surf tour) and great food.
Perth has more than a few things to do. lots of museums, the Swan Valley winery region on its outskirts, and lots of bars and hotels. Rottnest Island is a nature reserve, and its main draw cars is its furry little ambassadors, the Quokkas (look up "Quokka Selfie" to see just how cute)
Further out, you have tall forests, rolling hills that look like a more colourful version of the hills of Ireland.
Kalgoorlie is an old gold mining city. They've been mining gold continuously there for almost 130 years
Carnarvon to the north is where WA grows most of its tropical fruit. There's so many spots to see along the coastline. Always best if you have no particular itinerary, but remember to get off the road before sunset (too many animals on the road at night)
Exmouth and the nearby reef, Ningaloo Reef is like a mini Great Barrier Reef, minus the excess of hotels
There is a highway system across Australia called Highway One. It's like the US interstate system. If you were to drive the West Australian section of it, it would take you 49 hours of continuous driving, and would be close to 2500 miles.
@@Mechknight73 Quokkas are pretty high on my bucket list of animals to see
@@kayelle8005 They're incredibly smart, but such happy little furballs. Then again, they have no real predators on Rottnest, and know they can wrap tourists around their little paw with their cuteness
@@Mechknight73 My ex and I drove across Australia about 20 years ago. I flew back but he drove around part Western Australia. I would love to go back and see the places you mention.
It's summer right now and, here in sub-tropical Brisbane, the temperature at 10am this morning was already 30C (86F) and 60% humidity, meaning an "apparent temp" of 33C (92F). Australia definitely has a winter in June/July and there are significant ski slopes in parts of the Snowy Mountains. Winter in Brisbane is mild with the lowest overnight temp ever recorded being 5C (41F). Generally warmer than that.
It's different every year. Can get hot as 122 fahrenheit in the center of Australia 50c and as hot as 116 fahrenheit elsewhere 47c. This year and last year didn't get that hot
Lifelong Sydney-ite here. Hope you make the trip, there is so much to see in Australia that this video doesn't even come close to mentioning. For one, I'd suggest checking out anything you can find on Canberra, the country's capital, which has a lot of interesting stuff (personally, I'd recommend the Australian War Memorial, but that's just me). Still plenty about Sydney and Melbourne to be learned too, btw. To say nothing of the other major cities - Perth, Darwin, Brisbane, Adelaide.
In general, 80%+ of Aussies live in the south-east corner - Sydney - Melbourne - Canberra - Brisbane. There are towns and cities scattered all over, of course, but bear in mind that this is a BIG country. Australia is almost the size of the USA, but our population is only about 28 million. For perspective, that's roughly the same population as Los Angeles OR New York, by themselves. Also, we're VERY multicultural now - by and large, fairly successfully in that regard.
There are plenty of stories about Australia's deadly wildlife, and they are true, but your odds of survival are actually very very good. Safety here is common sense stuff, like NOT swimming where there are signs saying SHARK, or not messing with any snakes you encounter, when hiking. The odds of meeting anything dangerous in an urban environment (other than humans, of course) is almost nonexistent.
General guide on pronunciation of Aussie placenames. Generally, we put a hard primary emphasis on the first syllable and tend to swallow the rest. So, for Adelaide, it is "ADD-laid", Melbourne is "MELL-bin", Brisbane is "BRIZ-ban", and so on.
It takes a year to paint, when they’re done. They start over again. I consider you both honorary Aussies. Much love to you and I thank your father for his service Natasha.
I’m fortunate that on two visits to Australia I managed the first 5 on this list, unfortunately the Barrier Reef had to be missed out due to a tropical storm passing through. Australia truly is a fantastic destination, mind you the video did avoid mentioning that it’s also home to many of the most dangerous animals on earth, including the top 10 most venomous snakes. By the way, the bridge climb is fantastic, albeit rather expensive, I’m not great with heights but you are attached to a steel safety wire throughout, so you always feel safe, and the views are amazing.
Would love to do an extended trip but as don't like flying would have to be by sea. Do P&O still have a scheduled service ? Or even on a cargo/passenger ship(s) if they still exist ?
@@tonys1636 I don’t think there are scheduled sailings to Australia any more. Cruise liners do call there but, in most cases, you’d probably have to fly somewhere to meet up with the ship, and then your time there would be limited.
The US has more deadly animals than Australia
Just found your channel. Love you guys! I am an Australian that has been living in London for 15 years. I do miss the beauty of Australia.
Hi ladies. I’m from Perth. This video neglected the largest state Western Australia.
I’d recommend you check out any or all of the following:
*Broome - Cable Beach (sunset camel rides)
*Rottnest Island (home of the happiest critter on earth - the Quokka
*Ningaloo Reef
*The Kimberley region
*Monkey Mia (where dolphins come close to shore and interact with humans)
*Margaret River region (wineries)
*The Pinnacles & Wave Rock
*Lucky Bay Esperance (beach kangaroos, pristine waters)
*WA’s capital city, Perth
Coldest I’ve personally experienced in Perth is 32F (rare), it averages day temps 40-60F. The hottest I’ve experienced is 113F (also rare) the average summer day is 90-100F
Yes, it's a shame they didn't show the most beautiful sate WA. I'm bias but it's true :)
Love the reaction!
I would say that if you go down The Great Ocean Road one day, stop off at Anglesea and go to their bakery. They have award winning pies there, and I wish I could live there purely for those as well as the place itself 😂
As an Adelaide Aussie myself, we have The Festival Theatre, our Botanical Gardens and the Barossa Valley for wine and dining. Also, Adelaide has some hidden gems across the city, like the Baddog Bar. It’s a dark bar (spirits bar) which doesn’t have listed opening hours. You only know if it’s open if the light is on (safe bet is Saturday nights)
Hello Ladies, I'm from Melbourne and I was born here. Australia being in the southern hemisphere and USA in the northern hemisphere means our seasons are opposite, Summer in USA is Winter in Australia, Spring in USA is Fall in Australia and so on. The northern coastal area of Australia is tropical, warm to hot and very wet in Australia's Summer. The middle area of Australia has sub-tropical climate and is usually warm all year round, especially central Australia. Towards the south of mainland Australia is mainly cool and can be cold in Winter but mild in Spring and Fall but dry and hot for most of Summer. Tasmania which was not mentioned in this video will have mild to warm summers, and cold winters. Depending where you are in Australia, Melbourne average day temperatures are between 80F and 100F in Summer and between 50F and 70F in winter. Sydney is a little cooler than Melbourne is in summer and slightly warmer than Melbourne in winter. Brisbane's temperatures do not vary much and are warm and mild all year round but can be humid and wet in summer months.
That was fun! ❤
I love your reactions.
I'm Kat from Melbourne, Victoria.
There are so many beautiful places to see in Australia.
As there are in NZ & I can only imagine how beautiful America is also.
Uluru is breathtaking, one of my favourite places.
The beaches & national parks are jaw dropping.
When driving the great Ocean road it was hard as it is so beautiful & emotional.
So my husband & I took a coach tour for the day, so we could Really see it & experience it fully. It's breathtaking.
You will love it. 😊
Australia mainly entered my life through watching Neighbours and Home and Away growing up. More recently watching Dianne Buswell’s videos when she returns home. It always looks so beautiful. If I was in a position to go it would probably have to be in their Spring or Autumn as I don’t do well with too much heat. I don’t think I could be there for Christmas, as a Brit who likes to wish for a white one, seeing images of people on a beach feels all kinds of wrong 🤣
But it feels so right! Hoping to get over to the UK soon. Cheers from Sydney 😎
Home and away beach (palm beach not far from Sydney in a car ) is massive TV doesn't do it enough Justice you have to go there. Be carefull may get caught on camara when there filming lol
Late Autumn through to early Spring is definitely the time to go, but remember the climate varies with the geography!
Hi check out the Bungle Bungles. Rock formationNT. Mind blowing. 🇦🇺🍺🌄
Hello Ladies!!
Ok, so the weather varies greatly in Aus. You can get to around 123^ in the red centre. Can drop to well below freezing in the alps for winter. Perth & Brisbane (Bris-Bin) are usually warmer all year round than Syd or Melbourne (Mel-Bin) which are more seasonal. Avg around 78^ for summer, but that’s average. Sydney gets to 104^ no worries.
Thank you
Just found your channel and have really enjoyed watching your reactions to Australia and our snacks. I’m from the West and you should really make plans to visit. You’ll definitely need more than one visit. 😂 Enjoy learning more!!
Hey ladies, great video but there is sooo much more to Oz than Sydney and Melbourne. There are 4 more states and 2 territories to visit and see there attractions and differences. I am from Western Australia which everyone from the east forgets about. We have a beautiful city called Perth, beautiful beaches, world famous wineries in the south west and some of the most stunning ancient land in our North West as well as waterfalls, Mt Augusta which is apparently bigger than Uluru but most of it is underground. The Kimberley region which is world heritage listed has the most amazing rock formations and huge waterfalls anywhere in the country and also you can stay on one of the biggest outback stations called El Questro, STUNNING but you must also visit South Australia, Queensland, Tasmania, Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory which has our capitol Canberra. Love your reactions!!
They certainly should have got an Australian narrator so the place names would be pronounced how an Australian would pronounce them. They didn't show enough of this amazingly beautiful and diverse country. I was born in the UK and my parents moved here to Sydney in pursuit of a better life and they definitely succeeded, not only is Australia beautiful but the lifestyle and people are generally easygoing and friendly, I hope you two get to visit one day soon I'm sure you would have a brilliant time.
Hi from Sydney. The dangerous creature thing is very overdone. If you live further north or inland you get snakes and bigger insects, but living 10kms from the Sydney CBD, I’ve never seen a snake or any poisonous spider in our large, tree filled, back garden. Crocodiles are very dangerous in waterways and beaches in the tropical areas, but don’t live in the wild anywhere else. When I walk through the national parks near Sydney the worst things I’ve come across are bull ants.
When I lived in Canberra there wasn’t a single day I didn’t see kangaroos and very summer saw at least one snake and of course lots of spiders. More urban places like Sydney and Melbourne it’s just cockroaches and the occasional spider. Unfortunately not so much wildlife. I miss the birds and Roos now that I live so close to the city. Don’t miss the snakes and magpies.
Actually Sydney is one of the likely places to see a poisonous spider, though snakes that close to the city are much rarer. But the spiders are greatly exaggerated considering the last confirmed death was in 1979 and the only possible but unconfirmed death since then in 2016 in very unusual circumstances I would be much more concern about being hit by a car than bitten by a spider.
Temp?, I live 90 mile east from Melb, and we can get snow in Winter, but it's rare, as for Summer, we can push 110f. Our weather is pretty stable though, except this Summer has been wetter than usual.
PS, as a person who climbed Ayres Rock, when we could do so, they views from the top, are amazing. For eye candy, it's hard to go past Wilson's Promontory. I have travelled vastly across Australia, and still am in awe of the natural beauty this land contains.
Call me biased, Australia is the best place on earth. 🤣😎
I think our relaxed outlook on Life, our laid back "meh, she'll be right" attitude, is infectious. Love from Downunder. 👍
Great reaction! You guys should visit 🙂. I live an hour away from The Great Ocean road so I'm bias that Melbourne and Victoria are the best hahaha. But I work all over Aust for work and there is so much to see and do. If you come...don't do it in just 2 weeks. Take the time to venture and see as much as you can.
I used to travel to the US 2 to 3 times a year. Yes it's a long flight but it's worth it!!!
You need to visit all the states and their capitals, not just the East. Western Australia, I think, is by far the most diverse, has the best climate, andis the largest. The whole vast interior of Australia, is mostly red earth desert, bush and scrub. When it’s winter in the northern hemisphere it is summer in the south, so Christmas is at the height of very hot summers.
Just found your channel 🙂 I'm in Melbourne (pronounced Melb'n) and I think it's the best city in Australia. Cafè culture, parks & gardens, night-life, shopping, theatre, comedy, sports - something for everyone. We're also a hour or two from the Great Ocean Road, Yarra Valley (pronounced with two short a's, not 'Yahra' as the narrator said) and Mornington Peninsula, to name a few lovely places.
Melbourne's climate is temperate (warm summers, cold to cold winters and changeable springs/autumns). That said, Australia is so big that we have all kinds of climate and landscapes, from tropical rainforests to snowy mountains and everything in between. As for the less touristy places, North Stradbroke Island off the coast of Brisbane is absolutely gorgeous. Miles of unspoiled beaches, whales frolicking in the waves, and a low-key family vibe.
Hi ladies, the video showed only a small number of must see places, they totally missed Tasmania which in my biased opinion is the prettiest state of the lot. find a video and check it out . I've done the Sydney Bridge climb, that was amazing at sunset, I've driven the Great ocean road, and toured the blue mountains, but Tasmania is still my favourite of all.
Hi guys from Melbourne... good to see you are dipping your toes into the wonders of Australia (Oz).... I have seen many of your UK reactions so welcome to Oz. There are many videos to react to... check them ALL. :-)
Western Australia truly touched my heart and I was going to apply for a visa but plans changed unfortunately. Flying over to the east is on my to-do list and I want to stay at Qualia in the Hamilton islands. After WA, the east probably can't live up to the unspoilt wild nature of the outback except for the great barrier reef. I've been advised to stay away from the main tourist routes that take away from nature
Some short videos I'd recommend to get a feel of Western Australia (theyre not educational, just gorgeous):

We have camped on Fraser Island a couple of times and it is stunning. One of the things that surprised us there, is that there is no airstrip as such. The light planes land on the beach, which happened to be just near where we were camped! We would sit there with our cups of tea watching the planes come in😂. The rangers put out traffic cones to warn drivers there’s a plane about to land! Beautiful place!
i know some one who live s there.. u shud do New Zealand next please please , they are spiders . crocodiles ,snakes ,sharks can swim quite far inland too,
There are no Snakes in New Zealand
You gotta check out The Emerald Coast, on the South Coadt of NSW. Jervis Bay and surrounds is so
Magical. The whitest sand on the planet
My favourite part of the world I adore the Emerald Coast
Love you girls 🥰. You should check out Queensland …. Im biased I’m a Queenslander. I live in Canada and miss my home country 🥲. But also no offence to Canadians I love Canada …. Even though it’s so flipping cold for most of the year! 🙃. Anyways, there is so much more - I’ve lived in most of these regions of Australia . Enjoy and explore on line 👍😘
Great video Ladies, I went on a 6 week holiday to Australia, visited Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Sydney was stunning, hope go back soon.
My Uncle and Aunty used to own and run a coral shop in Townsville many years ago, and he also started the venture with the glass bottom boats along with the floating hotel. I was lucky enough to spend time with them when I was younger, exploring their amazing shop and taking a trip on the boats.
I'm from Melbourne Australia. Not always warm. Well known that we can get 4 seasons in one day as it changes. But summer is December-Feb anywhere from 25°C-45°C, Autumn (Fall) is March-May, Winter is June-August coldest at night gets to like 2°C. Usually daytime not colder than 10°C and Spring is September-November.
What I love about Victoria/Melbourne is you can be in the city then drive a couple of hours or less sometimes and be in a Forrest or farmland etc. Plenty to see and do. Happy to advise or give a tour!
Sounds wonderful!! ♥️♥️
@The Natasha & Debbie Show sorry the temperature is in Celsius not Fahrenheit. Not familiar at all with it!
Also watched all your other videos and with the AFL video you watched I think another one would explain it a little better ruclips.net/video/u_SqfNNfhmM/видео.html
My team is Richmond Tigers. Yellow and Black!!
