      Fline-duhs Street Station? (shivers) nope. it should sound like = Flinn-ders Street Station.
      There is no 'e' in Flin . Please someone from Australia do a tour of Australia video using the local lingo pronunciation. Then it won't just be entertaining for our foreign friends but helpful too.

      The early camels were primarily used to transport goods from the various ports to inland towns and areas as they could handle the dry conditions better than horses and bullocks.
      The introduction of camels required persons used to handling them so in the late 1800s to the early 1900s approx 3000 cameleers were brought into Australia from India, Bombay and the Afghanistan areas.
      The construction of the railway line from Port Augusta to Alice Springs relied very much on the camel trains bringing the materials and the cameleers were referred to as Ghans.
      No doubt a derogatory term 100 years ago but now the name of the Adelaide to Darwin train service "The Ghan."
      The camels being no longer required many were let loose and they have bred like rabbits and as pointed out are disease free and exported to Saudi Arabia as they are some of the most purest bred.
      Pity we can't export the rabbits and foxes.

    The reason the coast along Perth is called the sunset coast is because for a majority of Australians from the East who travel there see, for the first time, the sun set into the sea, For a majority of the population the sun rising from the sea is the norm, I remember the first time I saw it I was fascinated so I remained to see it disappear below the horizon of the sea,

Saying that, I've seen it so often it's just what is BUT, when I went to visit a friend in Qld I told her I'm making a coffee and going to sit on the beach and watch the sun rise over the water, one morning before I go back to Perth🤣
      She thought I was mad, I set my alarm, got up and made a coffee and headed off (she only lived a short walk from Grasstree Beach), walk through her backyard, cut through the neighbours backyard behind her, then right across the road....I sat there in silence thinking 'how beautiful, a new day dawning'. In Perth it's the end of the day.

    Cottesloe beach, Perth. Those Kangaroo statues are in the CBD at the supreme court gardens, not in Kings Park.
    Australia has more camels than the rest of the world, combined. We actually export them to the middle east (because our camels are the best for camel racing). Camels were used to cross the interior deserts and then let loose when they were no longer needed. Feral camels occasionally ride into remote towns in herds and destroy the place (its a habit they have). The cameleers were brought from Afghanstan in the 1800s, which is why the famour train from Adelaide to Darwin is called the 'Ghan. Dont ever ride one - its the most uncomfortable transport ever and it kills your nuts.

    Ryan, I agree, the narrator was a major disappointment, and the video was riddled with glaring errors. Anyway, while I'm here, for future reference can I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the phonetic vowel sound known as 'schwa': ə (yes, it looks like an upside down, back to front 'e'). It's a bit like a shortened, unstressed "uh" sound. The 'a' in 'again' or 'away' is a schwa: i.e. 'əgen', 'əway'. Schwa is the sound used to correctly pronounce the second syllable of Melbourne or Brisbane, i.e. 'Melbən', 'Brisbən'. This is so much more accurate than saying it's like "Melbin" or "Melbun", which can result in the wrong sounds entirely. Schwa is definitely your friend when trying to get these and many other Aussie pronunciations right.

Afghan camelliears were used to transport supplies between Adelaide & Darwin while the overland telegraph set up to contact the rest of Australia to the rest of the world,. When the job was done the camel's were let loose, & for the last 50 years or so we have been exporting camel's to the middle east.

    The big fish is a Groper, it is one of the largest bony fish on the planet, and the most widely-distributed of the Grouper species. Given its impressive reputation, it’s no surprise that this mighty fish is the aquatic emblem of Queensland, Australia. Scientists know that Queensland Gropers/Giant Groupers grow to 2.7 m (close to 9’) in size and can easily weigh over 400 kg (880 lbs). On average, these fish weigh 70-200 kg and measure 1-2m in length, but they’re still the biggest and baddest fish on the reef! They even eat other large fish and small Sharks, but they’re favorite food is Crayfish (Lobster). They are extremely inquisitive, and while it is now discouraged to feed them by cutting up urchins, they still will approach divers as if expecting to be fed. Their lifespan is said to be up to 35 years according to some sources, longer according to others.

    As for how the camels got there: they were imported from British India and Afghanistan during the 19th century for transport and construction during the colonisation of the central and western parts of Australia, and many were released into the wild after motorised transport replaced the use of camels in the early 20th century, resulting in a fast-growing feral population.
