That's not mum (Allison Marion) driving the boat during the bush fires at Mallacoota Vic.. That's her taking a photo of her 11 year old son Finn driving it to shelter on Goodwin Sands (a bare island nearby in the wide Wallagaraugh river). Her other son Caleb and the family dog are also in the boat (Source ABC).
You know Ali too
@@mazwhite4049 No. Used to be in emergency services. Story is as reported by ABC around that time.
@@tacitdionysus3220 I worked with Alice and Dasha at Parks Vic, Bright
"That's not mum ... " she just took the photo of the 11yo ... during a bushfire ... dog and other son are in the boat ... DAMN but ppl like this make me SO proud to be an Aussie.
Gotta love the SES too. Our emergency services rock!
Ali not Alice LOL
“I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror
The wide brown land for me!”
One verse from Dorothea MacKellars Poem from 1908 “I love a sunburnt country”
she was right then, still right in fact
It's actually called My Country 😊
Yep and why climate change is bull 💩
@@sharonbrown7419actually the original title is Core Of My Heart. The author is my great great aunt.
And somehow I rather fancy that I’d like to change with Clancy,
Like to take a turn at droving where the seasons come and go,
While he faced the round eternal of the cash book and the journal,
But somehow I doubt he’d suit the office,
Clancy of the Overflow.
Fries are thin and chips are a thicker cut. To distinguish the difference we would say hot chips or a packet of chips
Agreed. It’s the difference between “shoestring fries”, and “thick-cut chips”. Just remove the words ‘shoestring’ and ‘thick-cut’, and you still have exactly the same thing. McDonalds sell fries, KFC sell chips.
And in fact, Smiths brand say “crisps” on the packet. So that’s all sorted.
To be called a chip actually requires the product to contain a certain percentage of real potato, this is a large factor in the naming differences. Fries vs Oz chips is a great example, even in the US Pringle's are specified as crisps as they are only around 40% potato 😮
@@Spinsaweb Nope chips (real chips not "fries") are called chips because they are made by chipping potato, there were no "fries" in Australia until McDonald's came along, even what was then Kentucky Fried Chicken called theirs chips.
No, we have always had all sorts of cuts of potato and those cuts are collectively made by chipping potatoes, hence the name chips. It was McDonald's who arrogantly introduced the term "fries".
The thick cut chips are called wedges .... not to be confused with wedgies
All the rest are chips
If you want what the Brits call crisps, you ask for a packet of chips because hot chips don't come in packets (while some hot chips come in little cardboard baskets like this🍟 )
If you want to distinguish between chips and chips. You call one hot chips. Can you guess which is which.
He is American so you might have to spell it out 😂😂😂
Yeah, but he’s Ryan. He’s familiar with our terms.
Just hasn’t made it here yet……
@judithstrachan9399 Then he's in for a REAL shock if he ever he gets around to it (heh heh heh) ...
The one is a plastic bag ?
I learnt the hard way when I went to America, I ordered a chicken schnitzel and "chips" and was servered a schnitzel and a packet of "Crisps".
That would be right I had a few misshaps with food
I’ve been there twice 2013 and 2018 I had no trouble with food that’s hilarious 🇦🇺😂😂🇦🇺
Yep done the same thing at Disneyland I ordered hot dog and chips...lol
Like my cousin visiting England. Asked for somw Durex (sticky tape) and was given a packet of condoms.
One of my boys feeds the magpies out the front and they bring him presents, pieces of a plant, any shiny things that they find and they also will never attack him during spring. They remember faces and don’t divebomb you because you were kind to them. Very intelligent birds.
"Very intelligent birds."
I wouldn't call birds that dive-bomb you out of paranoia "very intelligent"! 😆
@@PJRayment uh no? They do it to defend their nests during mating season. Who tf told you it was out of paranoia
@@zzodysseuszz
"They do it to defend their nests during mating season. Who ... told you it was out of paranoia"
😆
Paranoia: "a thought process that causes you to have an irrational suspicion or mistrust of others."
How many of the people they dive-bomb are actually attacking or planning on attacking their nests? The magpies wrongly _think_ you are, when you are not, so it seems appropriate to call that paranoia, doesn't it?😆
No restaurant would ever serve crisps. Now if you're at a kiosk where there is no deep-fryer, or you can see the packets of crisps stacked on the shelf, you also know what you're getting. Also they sometimes specify "bag", "pack", or "packet" => you're getting thin baked crisps. "bucket", "plate", "bowl", or "hot" => you're getting stick-cut deep fried chips. Also you'll commonly get fried chips with a burger, or fish & chips, or a parma, etc. but never baked crisps. You ask for chips, you know what you're getting based on the context.
Bushfire photo was from Mallacoota, a couple of hours up the road from me. They are surrounded by Bush and live on the coast one road in one road out. The Navy came in to evacuate the whole town.
That water is most likely coming from the floods in Queensland. They get the heavy rainfalls and the land floods, then the flood waters flow all the way through New South Wales and into South Australia, where the lakes and rivers come back to life. It’s part of our droughts and floods weather systems! Amazingly!
The terminology is fries, chips, and potato chips. Fries are thinly cut as found at McDonalds. Chips are thickly cut as found in fish and chips shops. Potato chips are the ones in packets. So the distinction is that Australians have three words to describe the various styles of chips.
Nope, it's crisps and chips only for me, KFC has thinly sliced chips as well but correctly call them chips, McDonalds are just too arrogant to correct themselves.
BTW Smiths chips USED to be called crisps (until 2003)
@@vtbn53 I am glad you mentioned Smiths as I thought i was only one that remembered that.
@@ianmontgomery7534 Fellow rememberers... I too am also old and clearly have a memory from the very early 80's where at the pub, I got my Smiths crisps & a pot, with change out of a dollar. ;)
@@greenhouse3505 I remember the first counter lunch I got when I moved to Melbourne (1973) - a T-bone and chips and veg for $1.20!
@@ianmontgomery7534 Damnit... now I'm hungry. lol. I really do miss pub grub though. So much for so little. Now it's back flipped completely.
Chips and chips: Australians want to honour both countries, so they say chips for the packet chips so as not to confuse Americans, and chips for the hot chips so as not to confuse the British. Obviously the alternative is to say fries and crisps, but that would confuse the Australians. But in reality, three terms are used, fries for thinly cut chips, chips for thickly cut chips, and potato chips for packet chips.
or hot chips
Thank goodness Halloween isn’t a “holiday”
They are both deep fried and made of potatoes cut into different shapes. What's the difference?
@@Killian749 Exactly, there's no reason to be so pedantic. It's the same with getting confused over vacation vs holidays.
That was a very small portion of rescued baby Kangaroos. There would have been thousands of Kangaroos with babies in their pouches that didn't make it but their babies did.
I spent a few days making pouches for injured wildlife. Roos, koalas, bats and possums. It was really sad
Love your channel Ryan! As an Australian you make me smile.😂Keep up the good work. ❤
Ryan, the robber crab is the world’s biggest land crustacean. It can weigh more than 4 kg and measure up to a metre across.
Christmas Island (Australian territory) has the world’s largest and best protected population of these gentle giants, which can live to be more than 50 years old.
Well, there you go. I knew about the red crab migrations, but not the robbers.
I thought Coconut Crabs were the biggest, unless they are coconut and it's just multiple names
No one buys a burger and a packet of chips. Seriously. If you ordered fish and chips you’d get exactly what you’re expecting. If you are uncertain you can call them hot chips. But they are still CHIPS.
"no one" ? I did just 2 days ago, would've bought onion rings as well but they ran out. Had to settle for a burger and chips. 😢
@@technicianbis5250-ig1zdwtf lol
Yeah, my friend said when she went to America and ordered a burger and chips she got "crisps" and I was like wtf? Why is that even a thing? They don't even have packets of chips on the menu here. Maybe you can buy them behind the bar or from a vending machine, but if it's in a restaurant or restaurant section of a pub, chips are always hot chips.
Fries are the skinny ones , we also have wedges and many other types of cut potatoes ,
but as a standard we have packet chips and hot chips, so yeah chips is chips
I love your videos, they're great
That Globemaster is flying through Brisbane. Check out Riverfire. A fireworks display with planed!
Yep, just came to see if someone had explained the plane was for RiverFire, an awesome aerial and fireworks display which is part of the Brisbane Festival. I feel like this plane footage was a lunchtime practice run, not the actual RiverFire fly past.. React to RiverFire, Ryan! 🎆
I've heard of dolphins, finding things in the ocean to play, with and also other dolphins giving each other token gifts of seedweed,shells coral.
In Australia we only have 3 seasons. Drought, flood and bush fire. Oh, and maybe a fourth. Fry your eyeballs out hot. I'm told that somewhere in Australia it snows, but I don't believe the rumors.
We actually call the mountains where it snows the "Snowy Mountains".
Australia is a big country, covering a third of the distance between the equator and the south pole. The weather/seasons vary depending on where you are, in particular how far north or south you are, and of course the snow is closer to the south than the north.
Oh David, i live just below the Barrington mountain in NSW where in fact it does snow some years,
Yeah nah.
There was snow here today.
All depends on where you live in this large country Australia!
That plane was doing a flyby in Brisbane’s River Fire in September, until they were retired it was the F111’s and it was later in the night just before the fire works and they had their afterburners on and everyone loved it.
Sorta correct, google "Dump and burn"
I feel like this footage was a lunchtime practice run for RiverFire, not the actual fly past
The plane fly's along following the Brisbane river which weaves through the city, so it looks worse than it is. It is for the Riverfire event which is awesome. Jets and helicopters and loads of fireworks.

The coconut crabs live on the islands and at a certain point, the march back to the sea for mating season, so they’re saying, “Sorry guys, just passing through.”
5:00 yes look up the wild moreton bay dolphins that interact with people on moreton island. Its the same descendants of the pods who use to symbiotically fish alongside the indigenous people of moreton bay prior to colonisation.
All the dolphins through moreton bay and along the brisbane coast are super socialised and interactive with people
The dolphins are used to be fed once a day in front of visitors so they thought they would give them presents when people stopped coming. It’s well known throughout history of dolphins exchanging fish for favours. The Japanese used to have a pod of dolphins herd fish into a bay area for the fishermen to catch and in return the fishermen would feed the dolphins as a thank you, one day they decided to not pay the dolphin tax so the dolphins never herded the fish in the bay again
Aboriginal people had a similar relationship, including calling and hand /click signals to communicate with dolphins.Dolphins herded fish into handheld nets and people and dolphins shared the catch. Some First Nations People still maintain this relationship, they think of certain dolphin pods as family.
@@giftothegab24 thanks I didn’t know that 😊
I worked at an aircraft factory that built parts for and assembled F/A18s in Melbourne. The test pilot flew a plane up to melbourne and did laps around our factory at a height just above the West gate bridge which is close by. It was fantastic for all the workers to see. I got to go down to Avalon where they were final assembled so it wasn't a thrill for me but the tightness of turns he was doing was.
Pretty sure that's her child driving the boat, the mother has the camera. There's some great footage, as devastating as it was, that some have put on youtube of the days events unfolding and I'm pretty sure that's one of the stories that I've seen. With the fire/smoke comparison over Europe, I'm pretty sure one of the South American countries (I can't remember which one), had a record poor air quality result because the smoke was swept over to there. The C-17 is in Brisbane CBD, we have an event called 'River Fire' every year, where there's an Airforce jet that flies along the river to keep the spectators amused before it's dark and the massive barges and bridges launch their fireworks.
You might think it’s beautiful, but when you see that blood red sky right behind you it’s terrifying. My cat and dog just sat on the back seat of the car to terrified to move
An older Aussie snapped at a group of kids and their parents in the library park, in the town i live in. They were dressed up for Halloween, just having a picnic. The kids looked great. The old bloke snarled, "we dont do that foreign crap in this country!" One of the dads reminded him that, "... we do the whole Christmas crap thing. Singing dashing through the snow and that. In an Aussie heat wave, mate. Mind you, you dont have to be a genius to know that we sure didn't invent that." Old bloke waddled off in a huff, with the family calling out that hes far too old to be bullying a bunch of 8-10 year olds. And should be ashamed of himself. 😅 Made my day that did.
I hate hearing snow songs at Christmas. Colin Buchanan had a good one,
Looks like another sequel of Mad Max movie 😂 I had a few of those orange-red skies in Sydney when we had bushfires. It was like an apocalyptic day. It looked photoshopped.
Yes those planes are LOUD!. Once a year in Brisbane we have a festival called Riverfire. Basically the entire Brisbane river is filled with fireworks, fire, boats with lights, there's a synchronised sound track on the radio - it's a big thing. They also fly 2 high speed planes through the central business district over the river, and the noise and the afterburn is a part of the show. The Thursday before at 1pm, they do a test run in the daylight so that the pilots can confirm the route - most of the city steps out of work or lines up at the windows to watch it. There are videos on RUclips of times they have broken the sound barrier - it looks scary because of the perspective with the skyscrapers, you think for sure they are going to crash.
Yep that's Australia it's either in drought, on fire or flooding
Dribble masquerading as drivel.
Or it could be normal like it is for most of the year.
Sometimes, it’s majorly flooding in a couple of States and on fire in 2 or 3 others, all at the same time
Then week or so later, swaps around
Love Oz, best country
❤🇦🇺❤
No it's not, don't encourage the bullshit that tourists think. It's cringe.
@@jayr4857 no offence old mate, perhaps if you pulled your head outta your behind you’d actually notice..
God knows your brain could do with the oxygen 😊
Just an idea of course 👍
You have a big heart, Ryan...We love you ♥♥♥
I had to go into a hospital during the Sydney bushfires as I had chronic asthma, even in a new air-conditioned hospital I could still smell the smoke! American style chips are actually traditional 'pommes frites', not fries! 😁
If I'm forced to do Halloween, I'm doing tricks. Hot chilli gum for 10 year olds, they'll never come back again
Just give them condoms, then their parents get to have some awkward conversations with them as punishment for disrupting your evening, and they will never be coming back.
I did make ginger bread Halloween themed biscuits but had some pepper in them one year
@@dianacourt377love it!! 😂
Every halloween, I turn off all lights and wear my wireless headphones for TV, laptop etc. then eat all the lollies I wasn't going to give to the scrotes that knocked on my door, I wake up sick from all the sugar but it's worth it...
Plane thing is the annual RiverFire event in Brisbane. Used to be an F1-11 doing an afterburner burn along the river..
There are like 3 countries on the planet that seriously celebrate Halloween. That's the same amount that use imperial measurements.
To understand Australia's climate you need to check out Dorothea Mackellar's poem "My Country". In particular the second verse ... "I love a sunburnt contry ...".
This is synonymous of Australia and a verse that many Australians know.
Yes, I found myself quoting this when Ryan said “you had floods after this drought” and I’m like “yep, Droughts and Flooding Rains..”
There is a massive lake in the lower middle of Australia, Lake Eyre. It is dry most years. It takes flood events in Queensland and New South Wales to fill it. The water running in dry beds is what multiple inland channels do to make that happen. It’s pretty special when it fills, it can be dry for a decade or more. Check out a vid about that, as it is an event.
that first pic is not the Mother but the little son saving them operating the boat
We all adopted Koalas and baby native animals through that period. This helped the different centres care for them until they were able to be released. Some could not be released. Koalas lost toes and feet while trying to flee on the hot ground all the while carrying their babies on their backs. It was some of the saddest things our family had seen. Helping people who lost everything. Then we had floods straight after, we had friends in South Australia where the flood waters only reached them 1 year ago and ended up with $150,000 damage to their beautiful old home. They’re in their 80’s so it’s been really tuff going. Part of our national anthem says droughts and flooding rains but this last batch of weather has been crazy.🐨💞👏🏼 Great video. That first photo with the mum in the boat we thought we were waking up in a glass of orange juice. Bizarre 😮 Yes they do bring gifts like a cat bringing a mouse inside. We are a unique people, not easily frightened by our wildlife and unique country. Robber or coconut crabs are plentiful on Christmas Island and are eatable.
That is a child steering that boat not an adult. Bravest 11 year old boy ever and such a fantastic attitude. You should hear him interviewed ❤ He's kinda like "well, we were just worried about getting away from the fire and being safe. It was pitch black and really windy. We had a plan and we used it". The other son looked after the dog on the boat. What a beautiful pair of kids. The Mallacoota fires were horrendous.
Many of our native plants would disappear if it wasn’t for the bushfires started by lightning strikes. The fires are what open the seed pods and cause them to sprout in the charred but nutrient rich soil that now contains all the plants that burned in the fires. Google Dorothea Mackellar’s poem and read it, then you’ll understand our cycles of life.
Fries are fries, or "shoe string chips", chips are thicker than fries and you get straight cut and crinkle cut, steakhouse, and then you get to the wedges... Anything bigger than wedges is a baked potato
That post about the land burnt in the Australian bushfires in 2019-20 must have been made before the fore season was over. The total was 243,000 km^2, not 60,000 km^2, so, indeed, bigger than many European countries. Actually, if it were a country, it would be the 12th largest in Europe by area, roughly the size of the United Kingdom.
Yep, I was thinking it was way bigger than that too
In Oz we know the difference between chips and chips, in the US, you know the difference between ass and ass.
Nah! They called one of them a fanny 😂😂😂😂
Every year Brisbane has "River Festival" and the biggest night is "Skyfire" where the Australian Air Force have flyby's of the Globemaster, helicopters performing manouvres over the river and then the fighter jets do a number of flyovers to start the fireworks off. The Globemaster is extremely loud and flew right past my office window - it was amazing.
Well there are chips, and then there are hot chips
French Fries are Shoestring Cut chips and chips are plump Straight Cut/Pub cut which are actually better for you as they retain less of the oil. It is hot chips or just a packet of chips although some older Australian still say crisps.
During river fire in Brisbane the Globemaster flies down the Brisbane River. It is the highlight of the night.
That gator was so dead 😂
8:07 Every year we have an even called "Riverfire" in Brisbane and the RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force) performs some stunts with their planes during the event. The whole Riverfire fireworks extravaganza (fireworks set up on bridges, buildings, fireworks barges on the river and so on. It's way bigger than New Years (we can't compete with Sydney for that) so most of the budget for fireworks goes on Riverfire.
It used to culminate with a dump and burn maneuver from F-111's weaving through the buildings following the river at low height at night (basically hugging the river). Sadly the pigs aren't with us any more. :(
During daytime there's flybys, there's helicopters flying through the buildings and of course... this. Which is impressive as heck.
The plane was for Riverfire Fireworks in Brissy
Dude, who the hell would order a burger & chips and expect to get a packet of chips instead of fries?? That's the beauty of context 😅 Also, as an extra precaution against confusion, we often call fries 'hot chips', to distinguish them from the ones that come in packets. Simple 😊
The c-17 globemaster was flying through Brisbane on September 23rd 2021 in preparation for a demonstration in the Sunsuper riverfire festival. It is a regular occurrence for aircraft from the Amberley RAAF base to fly through the city for the riverfire festival.
With the crabs, there is a story that came out in the past couple of years, that Amelia Earhart landed near an island, and got ashore and fell asleep. But in their sleep, with blood coming from wounds from the landing, they were swarmed by said crabs or coconut crabs (one of the two) and nom nom'd on the two of them. They found other items on this island, some of it Amelia's specifically.
Ryan those red photos are totally unfiltered. That's the colour that is created when the sun shines through smoke late in the day. The whole town of Mallacoota in Giposland plus holiday makers evacuated to the beach or onto boats. It was the most frightening thing those folk have ever experienced!
The fire smoke was so bad in Sydney that you couldn't see the Opera House from the north side of the harbour!! You also couldn't see the tops of the tallest buildings because of the smoke. The Black Summer meant that every night the sunset was blood red!! It was the summer when we didn't get to enjoy the long evening light because the smoke meant an early sunset. Every single day was a bad day for those with asthma so you put on a mask so you could cope with the amount of smoke in the air! It was truly the most awful summer!
I can't look at the photos as it brings back my own experience of being only 4 when the 1967 Hobart fires were on. My mum and I drove through the still burning bush to get my siblings. It was sooo scary!! I still carry the fear in my body as it's something that never really leaves you. The people who were at Mallacoota had to flee for their lives and you never ever forget what that feels like. Nor do you forget that the sky really was that awful red!
What probably makes that video clip of the saved kangaroo joeys sadder is that one of the main reasons they are there being cared for is because their mum's have already perished in the raging bushfire.
2018 had been a dry year here, but 2019 was a bad drought. The bushfires started in winter in August and were only really coming under control in January in 2020 when we started getting decent rain again. Infamously the Australian Prime Minister at the time, Scott Scomo Morrison, took a vacation in Hawaii during this time.
The air force fly through Brisbane like that every year. It used to be F111 but we don't have them now. It is rehearing for Riverfire when we have fireworks and those planes fly low up the river putting on a show. It's interesting each year if you are working in one of those tall buildings to see a helicopter or plane going by your windows. I have photos somewhere of the F111 doing a burn at night low over the river.
As an ozzy, Potato chips and hot chips is the way I refer to chips and chips....lol
Should take a look at some aerial photos of the 2010-2011 Queensland flood, it covered an area the size of France and Germany combined!
On my first trip to the USA when I was younger I stopped in Hawaii for a bit on my way back and was so so excited to see the word "chips" on the menu beside the burger. Imagine my disappointment when it came with chips not chips.
I took a holiday in Margaret river WA 2019. While surfing, a pod of dolphins that was swimming past came up, very excited and inquisitive and spent 5 or so mins with us just playing around. When they left several of the locals thanked me for just being there. Apparently they usually they swim past locals but come to check out strangers and gave me their approval! 😂
The bit when the C-17 Globemaster was flying through the city here (in Brisbane). It coincides with a festival here called Riverfire, it happens every year in September.
When I lived in shenzhen a mate had a restaurant and to solve the problem we put photos of crisps and chips on the front of the menu so people coud show the waitresses which one they wanted. In Chinese it easy as a crisp is a Shupian (potato disc) and a chip is a Shutiao (potato strip)
Fish & Chip shop sounds better than a Fries & fish shop
we have bush fires
we have crocs
we have venomous snakes and spiders and we live in the worlds oven
but still the most dangerous thing over here is the drop bear
When I lived on Christmas Island Robber crabs were a worry only if they nipped you on the Achilles tendon
With the smoke coming through during Black Summer, you could see it coming through. In Canberra, it always came through around 4.00. Canberra is a series of valleys so it just got trapped.
On that C-17 Globe Master plane flying between the buildings, I remember walking along the Yarra River in Melbourne CBD with my dad in the early 2000s and seeing multiple C-130 Hercules flying between the city sky scrappers. Will never forget that.
8:16 In mid 2000, before the Sydney Olympics, there were Army exercises around Sydney. I once looked out of my office window on the 17th floor and looked DOWN at helicopters flying south along Pitt Street.
My husband was fighting these fires in NSW, he has some amazing photographs that he took while their truck was transporting from one fire ground to another.
8:24 Made my stomach sink, and I wasn't even in the same country as your "flashbacks", Ryan.
The C-17 through Brisbane City was part of our "River Fire" which is the end of our week long celebration to Brisbane and it being founded.
The C-17 was super cool, after that the jets come in and did their flyover..... Now the jets were loud hahaha.
What's really cool is obviously they don't get to do this much, so the day before hand was the practice day. And the guys in the C-17 and Jets just kept looping around the city for a good 15mins or so for shits and gigs.
Even though they were only supposed to do one practise fly by.
Those red sky bushfire horror photos are definitely unfiltered. I live in Australia and was safe thankfully from the fires but my sister who lives 4hrs south of me was evacuated from her home due to the fires in her town. The photos she sent me of the sky and area while she was in the town evacuation hub was just unbelievably scary and yes, looked like something out of a Mad Max movie! You could hardly make out any clear houses, trees or even parked cars.
I know of other friends who had holiday houses in nearby areas that did exactly as the woman in the boat on the lake photo did. They were surrounded by the fires, too late to escape. The safest place was everyone sitting in their little boats in the middle of the lake! Lots let their homes.
That picture with the man with red all around him is real and unfiltered!
I was never on board with Halloween but when I married a South American, who was all about 'el día de los muertes', I got on board and have been celebrating Halloween with my kids and grandkids.
RE: Halloween - it used to be like that in the 90s, but now the millennials have grown up, we’ve collectively decided that we should bring it in. Its now gaining popularity as something fun to do with our kiddos. Add to the fact the excuse most of our parents made was “it’s an American holiday” when it’s not lol. The US adapted it to what is today but Halloween or Samhain is an ancient Celtic holiday meant to get closer to loved ones that have passed. I say whatever, I LOVE lollies (candy) and I love dressing up so who tf cares where it comes from - live a little.
12:28 bro Halloween over here is a bad idea. It’s during the time of the year where the sun is still up that late at night, it’s hot, and our cities/towns are not very close together so moving between houses is extra difficult.
Dolphins do like people who are kind.
They...crows( ravens) and other creatures do bring gifts to humans...Truly😊
No Ryan, fries are some skinny thing of potatoes. Chips are chunky monkeys that are FANTASTIC. Context is key. I will open a packet of chips later. Love a chip with chicken salt (obviously a hot chip). We know what we mean, it’s up to others to figure it out, xx
That C17 was flying down the city reach of the Brisbane River. Not actually THROUGH the city buildings. Still close enough to be spectacular. Practice for an air display, part of Riverfire Festival.
3:34 around 4 years ago in Queensland we had a sort of drought for several years. I remember the deluge even still ongoing in 2015
I think the chips and chips in australia is an example of our British heritage and also the US influence through media. We took one word from one and one from the other.
During the fires 🔥 the sky really was that red.
8:19 that my friend is the Australian Air Show and yes that did happen i was in one of the apartment building when the plane flew past that was one of around 5 or 6 that did a take through the city
13:22 correction its. 'chips, and chippies'
The plane was military and was for an event from memory and its looks close to buildings but was flying over a river to keep its distance from the buildings
Yes, lunchtime practice run for RiverFire in Brisbane
Bushfires are horrible and scary but they do make for some great photo's. Not much consolation, but hey, it's better than none at all.
Lol Ryan, if you're ordering chips at a restaurant, you're 100% not getting a packet of chips. Now you go to your local deli or supermarket you're more likely to get a packet of chips instead of hot chips.
The c17 was flying in Brisbane where I live and it came from Amberley Air Force base and they usually do this for the Brisbane river Fire show that happens once a year
During news coverage of the Fires, we saw the coast house my father-in-law built in the 60's going up in flames, filmed by people taking shelter down on the beach.
I'm in Australia and i love Halloween, we had over 100 children come last yr and it's getting more and more every year. 80% of our homes in our town do Halloween.
In tassie they had to deploy navey and marine and harbour boats to go on long the shores to rescue the people
As no way out and fire was heading to the beach area
They where struggling to get them all out of their
The biggest problem is you want burn in water but oxygen is a real issue most suffocate either the smoke or as the fire draw all the air to flame the fire and why people found dead in rain water tanks or swimming pools as they've drowned from passing out
When their this large they use all the oxygen to keep fire roaring
Whole towns where at the water edge their where thousands as other from inland had to make their way to these towns as total cut off by fire 🔥
Hi Ryan, I follow 2 FAB Americans on Y/tube =below. I follow MANY actually.
One Pack Wanderers. Tia and Cheveyo. They've been travelling the globe for 3 YEARS in July and LOVE Australia. This is their 2nd time back to see MORE. Travel to Oz Ryan. You WON"T want to leave. A HUGE Country with a TINY population and NOT connected to ANY other continent. Plus surrounded by the Ocean and MANY amazing beaches👍👍😎🌞Pete. NSW Au.
They used to use F111and they had their afterburners on for the Riverfire festival in Brisbane. Was very impressive.
That friend who broke the amber just did him a favour, now he has 2 pieces of several million year old amber. 😂😂
Halloween is definitely getting more popular here in Australia. It is funny seeing these signs though 😂😂
Namoi river ,,, pronounced Nam oy river😂
At a quick glance, someone could easily read that as the girl's name Naomi, and I presume Ryan made that mistake.
I was in bush fires in Sydney in 1995 or6..The sky was red annd black for days.It. created its own weather( wind direction etc)..i was caring for 18 horses.Owners took them to the beaches for safety...so those red photos are real.
Our chips come in bags or a bucket. Fries in the bucket, crisps in a bag. I don't see a problem.
I don't know if that's sarcasm or you're not thinking straight. Both McDonald's 'fries' and KFC chips come in a (thin) cardboard container that you _might_ call a 'bucket', if you're buying the larger quantity. But both come in a small paper bag if you're buying the smallest size. If you get hot chips at a place like a food hall or a takeaway shop, you're likely to get them in a brown paper bag.
No place in Australia would serve a burger or any other meal with anything other than hot chips. The only time 'packet' chips would be served as a meal is if you had a home made chip sandwhich. I choose chicken flavoured for that😊
