Dear god I knew we were in for some bad pronunciation, but didn’t expect Flinders Street to be one of them 😂
😂😂
I know, right!!
😂🤣🙃me neither! lol
haha, yep. The most basic name.
Flinders keepers
The scooters in Brisbane are free. :) Listening to this guy slaughter the pronunciation of just about every place in Australia is excruciating!
oid anit
Yeah it is, but it is what it is, but why don't they do more research????
@@vtbn53 Errors drive engagement, which impresses The Algorithm.
@@brettevill9055 excellent point!
Mate, just bypass Sydney….started off as a home for criminals and bugger all has changed since. Grüße aus Australien.
I knew we were in trouble, when the narrator was not Australian. I wasn't wrong 🤣🤣🤣
The pronunciations for nearly everything was just cringe.
I’ve gotten used to the mispronunciation & mistakes but the way he pronounced Flinders St triggered me 😆
I know - can't stop laughing. Bris-bayyne? nope. it should sound like = Brisben or Brisbun.
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.
@@crystalemeralddiamond9571 i dont know about you but for me its either briz-bin or briz-b*schwa*n
Agreed. Those sights around Sydney. Quite a few of them weren’t Sydney. And the comment about the bay bridge 🤯🤯🤯🤯😵💫😵💫😵💫
Sydney has the 'Bay Bridge'. Who knew?
I caught that too 🤷♀️😄
I saw a different video the other day with a guy calling it the Bay Bridge. It was doing my head in 😂
Melbourne Bay too. Somebody changed its name and I missed it.
I was dozing off and thought I’d misheard 😂
@@gusdrivinginaustralia6168 I'm totally cringing at this. Did they not do their friggin homework to get the information right before making a tourist video? omfg.
I was ready for the butchered pronunciation of some words (like Melbourne). It the way that guy said Flinders Street Station has got me reeling… 🤣
Wild camels were introduced to Australia when people were exploring the outback. Now there are so many domestic and wild camels Australia actually ships them to Saudi Arabia and other Arib countries.
Yep Australia is the largest exporter for Camels.
over 1 million feral camels apparently
And disease free.
Yep Australia has the largest number of Arabian Camels in the world
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.
Ryan the tree is called a Boab tree, and the huge trunk stores water and is faound in arid parts of Australia
Except for the less tropical areas.
@@rogerramjet6429 thats what arid means!
They were also used as prison cells.
And the comment of them being over 1000 years old, is not too far from the truth, but more likely to be hundreds... and the family of trees are what's called Gondwanian - so are also found in Southern Africa and South America... in arid areas.
C'mon guys, I think Ryan is doing an amazing job even featuring us and this beautiful land of ours. Pretty sure we'd mess up some American pronunciations! Thanks Ryan for the content, and love that you're interested in this big island.
Love the authentic responses.
Brisbane in Oz is Brisbun. Melbourne in Oz is Melbun. The great barrier reef is the largest living organism in the world. The horse encased in the museum is Phar Lap. Good to see you Ryan, love your reactions 😊
I'm from Melbourne and we would normally pronounce them like 'Bris-bn' and "Mel-bn'
I have lived here for 68 of my 74 years except for 6 years in Melbourne & I reckon most Qlder's pronounce it Bris -Bin
@@gregoryparnell2775 mostly because of the kiwi presence
Phar Lap is a bone of contention and controversy. He was born and bred in Nieu Zeelund, was one of the most successful race horses in Australia, to the point where the handicapper was almost having to add a second set of saddlebags for weights.... then came the trip to race in America, and he somehow died not long after leaving quarantine? Mob hit?
Now the skin is in Melbourne, the Skullitun is in Wullingtun, and the heart is in Canberra.
I've never hear it pronounced 'Melbun' and I live here?! Or even 'Brisbun'....
Scarborough Beach is pretty darn popular out in Perth as well.
The castle in Tasmania is part of the Port Arthur penal settlement. A very harsh prison . Also on the Tasman Peninsular. The nearest thing we have to a castle is Government house in Hobart, (The governor's residence)
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,
I've always lived in Perth, and seen the sum set over the sea many times. But when I had my only trip over east as an adult (I went with my mum when I was 4) I went to see the sun rise over the sea only to see a heap of clouds. The sun eventually came up, but it was a little disappointing lol
Lol...funny you should say that. I live in Perth and yes it's gorgeous to go to the beach to watch the sunset...particularly on a hot summer night. 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.
My friend, who thought I was mad, joined me about 30 minutes later😂😂 AWESOME!! Even took photos👍👍❤️❤️😊
@@yvonnecaldwell6088 I'm from Perth too, WHY DIDN'T I DO THIS WHEN I WAS IN SYDNEY
Yes, at St Kilda beach they drive tractors or something along the sand to keep it clean and tidy... I cracked up at the way he pronounced Flinders! 😆
They clean up St Kilda and Elwood beaches to get get rid of used needles and broken bottles of booze. :)
It’s about time every fan donates $1 each for Ryan to come holiday with his small family 🤙🏼
I did mention starting a GoFundMe at one stage. Should try again. 👍
@Karina Horan I've sent him 60 so far and it's worth every cent.
Only if he goes to Tasmania! 🧐(😀)
Agree people like Ryan who post such positive commentary about Oz is such good PR for Australia,
Ryan, our parks, for the most part, are free. Just for everyone’s enjoyment.
In 1788, the main mode of transport was by horse! Horses obviously were brought by ship, as were the camels, a few years later.
Not me laughing when Ryan said "Australia has a castle?!". It's the old convict prison. 😂
There's always Kryal Castle lol!
“Flinders St” pronunciation was hilarious!
The “castle “ was a church in the Port Arthur penal colony
7:20. That corridor is quite stunning when the Bouganvillia is in full flower.
First mistake right at the start. Not Bay Bridge. “Sydney Harbour Bridge.”
No 2. “Not Fly,nders st station, like other words with the letter i in it (E.g.Linda) it’s pronounced, “Flinders, (like “in”) street.
No 3. Not Melbourne Bay. “Port Philip Bay. And it’s not Melboooouuurne, it’s Melbn.
No 5. Not Bris bane, “Brisbn.”
The beer is VB, Victoria Bitter. QLD has XXXX.
Cottesloe beach.
Australia supplies a large number of camels to the Middle East.
Thankfully he never said, eemoo, when it’s eemYOU.
Carlton Draft is the most consumed beer in Australia with XXXX a very close second
@@stevepitt1414 He asked which is the beer with a couple of letters, Carlton draught has more than a couple of letters.
Thank you!!!
@@stevepitt1414 but let's be real, we have a craft beer culture now, much like our coffee culture. Let's take a moment to be grateful. :)
Yes, Yes yes. Ricky is spot on! I think the American guy who put the video together just slapped it together with AI, not having ever been here.....Also, where are the pink lakes to swim in while he is talking about Melbourne? and what is the line, 'go for swim, at the beaches of Melbourne Bay' WTF, who says that? No one who has lived here or even just visited. Ryan, loving your work btw.
8:20 I grew up in the Blue Mountains. This place is called Hanging Rock. I have stood right out on the tip of it were it is only a foot wide. It was quite scary with nothing but a huge drop on all sides.
Sorry Ryan, I'm bailing out... if I hear him try to pronounce Brisbane one more time I will have a violent reaction!
Yeah I get that. the voiceover is shocking... Brisbaine..... unreal
Yeah, I started melting down at 'Bay Bridge'. 🤯
@@janemcdonald5372 Flynders St. Got me!!!!!
I felt like I was being slapped in the face every time he said bris bain
I bailed at flinders street’s butchering 🤣
The voice over said Melbourne has a fascination with soccer. It doesn't. I think they mean Australian Rules Football.
Football😂 translates to soccer.
@MsPoppsie not in this context. It means Australian Rules Football, an entirely different game.
lol if you come to Australia Ryan you'll have so many local guides
Watch David Attenboroughs doco on Barrier Reef... magic
I protest! South Australia was completely overlooked, as it often is in tourist videos. 😡
The electric scooters are definitely NOT free
I've been all over Oz. The Eyre Peninsula and Riverland are some of the best places you'll see
I’m stunned tasmania was mentioned lol
@@theresacalvert3763 Tassie is world class. Franklin River, Freycinet N.P. Cradle Mountain, Bay of Fires.
@@Manuka_888 dont forget the "limestone" coast the crater lakes in mount gambier as well as the umpherstone sinkhole are amazing as well.
That highway you remarked "I just want to drive on" is the Seacliff Bridge. It's popular in car commercials and the first time I saw it I had the same reaction. South of Sydney, towards Wollongong, I make a point to drive across it any time I'm in that area.
The road crossing the bridge is part of Lawrence Hargrave Drive, so named after the great inventor who flew box kites near Stanwell Park.
The Blue Mountains are in just one of our National Parks and there are many of them. The Royal National Park, surrounding Sydney's south, became the world's second NP after USA's Yellowstone Park. Like the US we have many beautiful scenic NP's.
Hi, hi, hi! I'm an Australian (with Italian parents) who lived in the U.S. for nine years (N.C. and S.C.) before returning, and as you can imagine, I have MANY stories.
You might be discovering by now that Australia is more than the sum of its parts. Come visit so you can feel it!
In the meantime, I suggest you deep dive into the awesome Australian music scene. Some Australian bands you may have heard of are INXS, Little River Band, Bee Gees, Jet, ACDC, Air Supply, Veronicas, Keith Urban, and 5 Seconds of Summer. To name a few.
Cold Chisel is a classic Rock band that should have had global success.
P.S. How many Americans currently living in America watch your channel?
The walkway with purple flowers is what was redeveloped after Brisbane hosted the 1988 world expo called South Bank. It holds outdoor shows, the Brisbane wheel, a free man made lagoon for cooling down on hot days, cafes and markets just to name a few.
The walkway with the beautiful Bougainvillea is called the South Bank Grand Arbour. I worked for the architects from Melbourne who designed it.
Australia is more than its city. So many places. I can drive around my area an hour each way and film the most beautiful sites.
You should be worried about natural bridges collapsing. Look up the natural arch on the a Great Ocean Road known as London Bridge, it did collapse and left 2 people stranded.
Hi Ryan. Michael from Australia, here. Many years ago you could climb "Ayers rock". My parents are in there 70's and 80's and did so. Trekking on the Rock was stopped to ensure that the site was not damaged any further.
This dude pronounced nearly every single word wrong and there were a lot of factual errors as well. I don’t think the creator of that video has ever been to Australia. Love your videos though👍🏻
I lost it at Fly-nders Street Station in Mel-burn. 🤣
that’s what really gets me about these kinds of videos, nothing is ever pronounced properly and they could look it up to make sure, sounds so bad
@@levlylove I lost it at 'Bay Bridge' 🤯
Shockingly inaccurate video in most aspects, not to mention the fact out of the 4 top things, 3 of them were cities🤦♀️
"Fascination with soccer" gtfo mate
13:45 The Baobab. Or 'Bottle Tree'. The trunk is a natural trait of the tree. There are photographic records of these trees being used as makeshift 'lockups', or jails for one...or sometimes more.
If you ever come to Perth, it will be my pleasure to show you around ...
Yes Perth is great! Western Australian person here 😊
Ok...that bridge....is the Sea Cliff Bridge...and it is over an hour south of Sydney...don't know why they included it with Sydney....I live in Wollongong and go over that bridge quite often....Happy to show you the sights of the south coast if you ever visit :)
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.
They are also free of diseases.
The rocks over the seas photo you have highlighted is The Blowhole in Southern Tasmania - you can go on a short boat trip to view it "very" closely - no walking required! 🤗
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.
I’m watching this from Broome-lived here for 15 years
Yes Broome is amazing 🤩
The Seacliff bridge over the ocean (a bit of water anyway) is in northern Illawarra, south of Sydney just down the road. Was built after the original coast road (Lawrence Hargreaves Drive) was wiped out after a landslide. Excellent jewie/mulloway fishing under it.
Lawrence Hargrave Drive is still there. SeaCliff Bridge is one section.
@@Merrid67play Was just giving the Name of the road the bridge is now on. I grew up in Thirroul and remember having to take the long way if we played Helensburgh up there after it.
@@Merrid67play They both form part of the Grand Pacific Drive.
Way back in the 1800s when the Telegraph was conducted to Darwin via Indonesia. 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.
So yea Australia has camel's domesticated & Ferrell
Great reaction video Ryan. They could have been more specific and included probably a 1000 places, that would make a great series of videos. We used to have a few documentary makes that would go all over the Australia visiting various places, two that come to mind is Malcom Douglas and the Leyland Brothers. There seems to be a gap there now.
There is Russell coits all Aussie adventures
@@humpy125 Yeah but that's a comic parody on the Aussie outback explorer. Bloody great show though.
Alby Mangels ftw
I was literally thinking of the Leyland Brothers when I saw your comment!
Australia is now the _only_ country that has wild camels! They were introduced for transport in the 19th century.
We export them to the Middle East. You couldn’t make it up!
Have A Vic beer, ol matey. If you think those water falls and mountain ranges are great, In the to nth oz there are many hidden places with pristine swimmingholes and waterfalls , Hidden all throughout Its the best. Broome Is the most beautiful place, I walked along cable beach for hours and not another soul, Its amazing the colour changes of the rocks and reflections from our iron red dirt. Wominjenka from Wurundjeri country Australia. If you come you must visit the top end and plan to stay awhile as there Is more to see than even an aussie ever will. The Kimberly has the best opals In the world, Bugger It come over and I will be your tour guide. You must see traditional Aboriginal dance and have a welcome to country.
You’ll have sooooo many tour guides when you come to visit 😊
Like snow grooming, there are machines to groom/clean beaches.
They clean up St Kilda and Elwood beaches to get get rid of used needles and broken bottles of booze. :)
I'm the same Ryan , I would not be that close to the edge of the cliff . The rail with the purple flowers ( Bougainvillea ), is at Soutbank in Brisbane. It was the place where Expo 1988 was held .A nice place to visit , for drinks and dinner , and a swim in the manmade beach.
flynders street station...lol
10:10 Tasmania is one place in my country that I would love to visit. However, I really can't do the cold. Yep, I'm a cold weather Wuss.
Love the fact that lutruwita/Tasmania got great coverage. That wasn't a castle it was a church.
In the opening sequence the 'figure of eight pools' feature and they are located walking distance starting from Heathcote one of Sydneys most southern suburbs and if there are big swells can be pretty dangerous but spectacular on a nice day.
This makes me wanna travel Australia again. so big so beautiful. Every state changes sometimes it really feels like you are a different county, I might be bias but it's truly Gods country.
@Cactus Dill-Dos sure is! Amazing 🤩
Watch out for our drop bears🤣🤣
@@lyndylou752 😂😂😂😂 love it!
We don't really do the "God's country" thing here. It's narcissistic to claim that God favours a country over all others, and also as a nation we don't really care about religion.
started watching your channel while i was still in the philippines, now im at melbourne and still enjoying your vids!
It's not melbourne bay, he said it earlier its port philip bay
6:22 yes they do drive over it each morning, mainly to clean the beach from the previous day's visitors
We avoid Sydney, Melbourne and most of the eastern states, unless you want busy people and traffic. Tasmania is brilliant. Beautiful people and amazing sights.
South Australia wasn't mentioned, it's a lot slower pace with many hidden gems that don't get advertised. SA is the place to explore.
Western Australia is also fantastic, don't bypass the west if you come to Australia. The Northern Territory wasn't mentioned much. The NT is the wild west of OZ. Also many things to experience in the north.
Cheers groover for acknowledging the friendly Taswegians x
St Kilda Beach is mainly used by people living in and near city centre, and most likely tourists in city hotels that are not travelling far.
The remaining beaches stretching over 50 km all the way down the eastern side of Port Philip Bay, and also many ocean beaches outside the bay would be destinations for most Melbourne area residents
New Blue Mountains attraction just for you, Ryan: they have a cable car that runs across the whole thing and NOW, you can even climb up on the roof of it!
The Great Southern Reef is just as fascinating as G B R and very beautiful.
Your accent is changing ever so slightly. The Arvos are rolling off the tongue brother…🙏
11:45 'Cottesloe' beach. But when I lived in Perth (up near Sorrento) in the 70s, all the cool kids surfed at Trigg beach and surrounds.
It's a little funny that walking over the land bridges worries you coz around 20 or so years ago one of the 12 apostles the one called London Bridge did collapse with tourists being stranded I dont remember the exact numbers but I think it was around 20 people
Edit. It was 33 years ago and 2 people were stranded bloody hell I'm gettin old lol
There's only 8 of them still standing.
@@leglessinoz You mean The Apostles, not the people. 🙂
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.
I think it's actually a Maori wrasse.
In Penrith Australia its Tuesday 5.23 pm and the start of autumn and its 35 Celsius that's 95 Fahrenheit have a great day. Peace out.
Fun fact a few yrs ago Penrith was the hottest place on earth that day. 😜
@@Danger_Mouse3619 yes sir I remember that The western Sydney suburb of Penrith was the hottest place on Earth on Saturday, reaching a high of 48.9 degrees Celsius that's 120 degrees Fahrenheit the highest-ever temperature for the area, recorded by the Bureau of Meteorology just after 3pm, smashed a record that had stood for 80 years. showed Penrith was the hottest place in the world. Peace out.
Afghan traders brought them to Australia - then became wild.
Australian train journey from bottom to top: Adelaide to Darwin - the train is called The Ghan, in honour of them.
I think because of our almost x3 years of La Nina and record flooding everywhere, that train is stranded in Alice Springs - sought of halfway point.
Hey Ryan, another great reaction. to give you some info on the camels in Oz, they were bought over to Oz over a hundred years ago, and some were let loose in the outback. They thrived, and now we export most of the middle eastern camel herds. Please do this as a reaction to WA. It's my home and one of the sunniest places in the world. We are far from most of the world but have a great state and its supper layer back. Keep up the good work. 😊
The reason the camels are exported to the Middle East is because they aren't full of disease.
@@cgkennedy and there is that as well
Having traveled around Australia's mainland for 2 years in my 20's, in a caravan , I'd have to say Perth was my personal favourite Capital city. I am so glad I did this at a young age . There was plenty of work and I got to meet the most interesting people. Cheers from Northern NSW.
I live in the blue mountains, not far from The Three Sisters. It gets bitterly cold in winter 🥶 though it is a beautiful place and not far from Sydney
Yes thats for sure! Been there and I absolutely froze!
@@Jessie20032 yeah the wind chill makes the “feels like” temp down to -10C at times…. I need to move north😂
I never know what you will say next, but your comments bring smiles every time. I love your poetry - Australia's five'o'clock shadow. 😊Thank you!
HEY Ryan. you make every Aussie feel proud. Thanks mate.
It’s a two hour drive from Cervantes (where The Pinnacles are) to Perth.
man that guy was hard to listen to he couldnt have gotten more wrong if he tried
we got camels from Afghanistan along with their handlers to explore the inland and to build a telegraph line from Adelaide to Darwin
you cant climb Kata Juta or Uluru it is considered to be very disrespectful
I thought my eyes were going to roll right out of my head! So many simple mistakes 🙄
@@halip5799 yeah it was Fly nders street that did id for me , never heard of Melbourne Harbour in spite of living there for 20 years
im glad he didnt get to "koaliar bears"
I think it's meant for Americans, so he uses American pronunciation, but yes, so aggravating.
I don't consider climbing Ayres rock disrespectful at all.
@@Bellas1717 uses American pronunciation....to keep them slaughtering our place names 😑
I nearly spat my coffee and the pronunciation of the Flinders street rail station. Your right only an Australian to explain our country lol
Melbourne is pronounced “melbun” and Brisbane is pronounced “brisbun”
I would have said Brisben and Melben lol 😂
@@mandythevampireslayer1979 brizben
Mate you a Kiwi?
Us Queenslanders are lazy it's Briz-bin or Brizzy. Melbourne is Melbs or place of shit craft beer lol.
Melbn, Brizbn
11:00 Perth. I lived in Perth in the early 70s when I was around 7 or 8. We left when I was 12. I always remember Perth as being a really clean city. Like, it was very rare to see rubbish on the streets.
the great barrier reef is not a single organism however the coral reef itself is the largest built structure by an organism as the coral pullups actually build it.
The reef is actually considered an organism. ;)
@@julie-annwhittaker7902 each coral polyp is a separate organism, the coral itself is limestone
@@spacejesus4541 ok Jesus. 👍
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.
Did he just call The Sydney Habour Bridge - the Bay bridge????
Camels were imported from Afghanistan in the 1800's. they were used to ship goods around the outback, they were more able to survive the conditions than horses. We have a passenger train that travels from Adelaide to Darwin (2900 kilometres) It is the world's longest passenger train sometimes reaching a kilometre in length (42 passenger coaches long) When the train arrived the camels were let loose to roam the outback, apparently we have more camels than the middle east.
Australia has the world’s largest number of camels being approx 1 million. Middle eastern countries actually import their camels from us. Strange heh. Love your videos Ryan. ❤
🤣🤣 Fly-nders street station.....this guy didn't do his homework very well!
Odd fact, Australia is home to the only wild camels in the world. Although not native to Australia they were bought over to help explore the deserts and build the railways and some were let free and became the wild herds they are today.
Some are of great genetic value to other countries. The best camels in the world. Many will have to be shot and not even eaten.
To find more about The Great Barrier Reef try looking up Cairns (pronounced cans) or Port Douglas. We have that island (Green island) and big fish from this video here 👍 3:30
Port Douglas is amazing
Ryan, if you want to see something unique that can be found in Australia how about this video called ‘Why does Australia have so many pink lakes?’ ruclips.net/video/N6VSvoPnkaY/видео.html
Also, that highway near the beginning in the Sydney segment is not in Sydney. It’s called Seacliff Bridge and it’s in the city immediately to the south of Sydney called Wollongong.
It''s a bit north of Wollongong, between Stanwell Park and Coalcliff. The road used to run along a narrow shelf cut into the cliff You can see behind the elevated road. The elevated road was built to get away from the rockfalls from the cliff. Except for the rocks on the road it used to be a nice motorbike ride all along the coast there.
@@neilf1059 it was scary enough driving around the cliff on the old road in my little Morris Minor, I couldn’t imagine doing it on a motorbike. Although they are indeed north of the city Coalcliff, Stanwell Park and Helensburgh are all suburbs of Wollongong. Sydney starts at Waterfall.
Eat St in Brisbane is very cool. its a big market of food vendors. Disappointed with the 30 seconds they talk about Brissy. I travelled the world and Australia and found Brisbane to be the best place to settle down. The people are nice. Spend my weekends at amazing beaches, islands, wetlands, rainforests, country markets, farms, mountains, vibrant cities, great museums and galleries and its all free... or theme parks and Australia zoo for cheep. ive been here 20 years and havent even seen a a quarter of the best things.
I think the local custodians would take a dim view of people climbing there religious sites, would you climb somebodies church, mosque or temple?
"kind of slow beach" lol. Cottesloe beach :). With Uluru, people used to be allowed to climb it, but not anymore. It was closed to climbers out of respect to the original custodians of the land. it's a spiritual site. Karijini National Park, WA should be on this list.
Ryan, it's ok, just sleep needed! 😌 That cliff highway goes into Wollongong, it's a fabulous big town just out of Sydney with beaches, University, great lifestyle! Great Barrier Reef, you need to scuba dive and spend the day! Groper, Dolphins, sweet! Melbourne, it's actually quite unpleasant right now, busy and loud, some racial tensions! St Kilda, ok! Brisbane, very humid, big crowd of units around an ugly river! Blue Mountains is incredible, absolute must see! (Take a guide) Tassie 💓, is absolutely incredible, walk or ride a bike in Tasmania and your lungs will be young again, the food is the freshest, the air is fresh, life is fresh! (You would like it 😀) Perth is wide, long, definitely hot and growing! Broome is fantastic, another world! (Ryan, ships carry horses and camels!) Uluru, Camel transport was needed before airplanes, trains! I haven't done the Sydney Bridgewalk, yet! 👍
You don't really know much about Brisbane. I noticed that he included footage of Tangalooma as part of Brisbane but didn't mention anything about the three largest sand islands in the world.
@@julie-annwhittaker7902 The islands are too expensive, he is from the country and wants the sea, he didn't mention Adelaide either! 🤨
@Jennifer Harrison Moreton, K'gari and South Stradbroke aren't at all expensive. 🤣
@@julie-annwhittaker7902 , Moreton Island is worth visiting . We have rented a house there it wasn't expensive when a few go together. I love Fraser Island as well.
Must see amazing places in Australia, Melbourne hahahahaha the pronuciation of the flinders street station was amazing.
M8 when ya get ya butt down here you won't have a shortage of people who would love to show you around each state
Another must see in Perth is a ferry ride to Rottnest Island. It is the home of the quokka.
Take your own water.
I needed to see your friendly face right now Rysie. I just seen what Knoxville police department did to Lisa Edwards! I'm so sad right now, that poor woman 😭
Those cops and hospital are willfully negligent in the very least.
Well, hell. I wish I hadn't googled.
@@almostyummymummy yeah it's pretty disgusting how the hospital and cops, look like getting away without repercussions.
Forgot South Australia home to the amazing blue lake, Naracoorte caves, opal mining at Cooper Pedy and staying in unground motels, Kangaroo Island, Great Ocean Road, winery regions
Brisbane is NOT Bris-bayne .. it's Brisb'un
And - Flinders St. Station - not Fline - ders St. ! ? Australian tourism stories should be presented by an Aussie who can pronounce our place names correctly.
Ryan, ‘Happy Arvo’ you started saying is now sounding very normal Aussies indeed lol 😊👍
You NEVER sound stupid Ryan...the exact opposite. I wish many more people had the thirst for knowledge you do.....the world would be a much cooler place 🤠
Love how you love our beautiful country mate
