Koalas live in a specific type of gum-tree, if there are none of those trees in your area, you won't see them, they sleep all day. They only move around when their own tree has not enough eucalyptus leaves to eat, or as a young adult, they have to leave mum and find their own home tree. You can find out how to get those trees from the no tree, no me website. Koalas need tree corridors to get enough leaves from, in the dry season. Having to cross roads is a huge problem for them though. Don't approach them either, they are grumpy and have huge claws and sharp teeth, just like possums. Big gum trees drop a lot of leaves, some drop huge branches as well, so not usually wanted in a house yard, and do not pitch a tent under their shade, you do not get much warning that a limb is about to crash down.
If you are growing any type of fruit in your backyard you definitely do not want to attract any cockatoos. But rainbow lorikeets are especially attracted to any native gravillia flowering shrub. Once they become used to your presence they allow you quite close and begin chattering to you as they go from flower to flower. Other times they will hang upside down looking at you as they chatter.
Hi 'Red Dog', I grew up in NQ and had a huge Mango tree in back yard. In fruiting seaso we had Flying Foxes at night and Lorikeets by day making a hell of a noise.
@@eddiel8708 You're not wrong with the noise when they get together. We've got fruit bats making a racket at night also, not as much as up your way though.
Great video. 😀When we lived on a farm in the middle of NSW we had echidnas living under the house. They were very large & would scratch on the underside of the flooring. Would keep us awake at night. 🦔🦘🦃🐨
I have never got over the thrill of seeing the Australian animals. I have seen Koala 🐨 in the wild and platypus near where I live in Victoria. I also saw dingoes in Alice Springs in the wild. While camping a dingoes pup came to play. Another animal you don't pat. I also love the dawn chorus in Oz, so loud and raucous. The English one is so soft. Snakes, I give them a wide birth and great respect. I remember nearly treading on a Tiger snake on my way to my obstetric appointment back in 1985! I had both my girls in a bush nursing hospital and snakes were often around. Have you seen Wombats yet? Fabulous animals, at Wilson's Prom in Victoria there are loads. Unfortunately with the severity of the bushfire season now we are seeing the wildlife suffer. A whole colony of Koala's were lost near Halls Gap in the Grampians due to fire some years ago. It was so sad because you could just walk and see so many, now none. When you move to your bush block you will see so much more.
Oh wow, no we haven't seen wild wombats yet. We have noticed a big difference after our bushfires here, that there is much less wildlife, it is so sad. There is no better sound than the morning chorus - raucous is the perfect word for it ❤️
You can feed the dolphins at Tangalooma Island 🏝 Resort as well. It's the same very strict conditions on feeding them. Did it earlier this year in March thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it.
Agree….leave all snakes alone, let them go about their business……from experience the biggest threat we found was, crossing a road in Melbourne…..up from the beach at South Melbourne…..gee we were lucky……fantastic wildlife, just love those big ears of the Roos…..thanks for sharing…
Piece of info: macropodal (kangaroos, wallabies, wallaroos etc) method of movement is the most energy efficient method of locomotion when it comes to vertebrates
The "bin chickens" are actually ibis. In the cities, they tend to gather around dumpsters for food, mainly because of the lack of natural grassy areas. I live at Port Stephens, and all the ibises that I see are usually feeding in open fields. Also, they are very good flyers!
@@TheBAMFamalam They’re actually water birds that live near lakes and ponds, but with all the droughts we’ve had, they’ve migrated into the cities and forage for food wherever they can find it.
Last week (I think) you did the cost of living thing. You left out clothes as in what you need. In QLD it's a drawn full of shorts and T shirts but the UK would be a wardrobe full of coats hats etc. Maybe something you could look into.
Are there rosellas up there in Queensland? Get them all the time in Victoria. Watch for Butcher Birds, cassowaries and large parrots. Get the cockatoos, lorikeets all the time.
We get eastern rosellas in Brisbane and probably on the Sunshine Coast. We also get crimson rosellas in the mountains of SE Queensland. Cassowaries are only found in the far north of the state.
Gladstone man here again, flying foxes? The other night on dusk thousands of them filled the skies flying somewhere.Pretty awesome sight seeing so many, it must have took over 15 minutes before the last ones flew past
Used to be a common occurence here in Cairns back in the 50s and 60s. They head off at dusk to find the fruit trees like mangoes etc. The sky used to be black with them but where they roosted in the mangroves near the Cairns Showground is now the Barlow Park athletic track. They have moved a number of times but there is nowhere near as many around now.
Yes! They definitely could have gone on the list! We had never seen such huge ones before moving to Oz, and it's remarkable/a little eerie when you see so many in the sky ❤️
Kangaroo are so common that farmers are allowed to kill them except the females with Joeys. Also, Kangaroo are known to drown to dogs. One time there was whale washed up to a beach near where a surf life saving and we were concerned about great whites.
Years ago I stayed at a friend's farm out in whoop whoop, and the amount of kangaroos on the side of the road alone was unreal. That's so sad when that happens ❤️
No wonder you think the kookaburras are laughing; their correct name is Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae). They are bigger than you would think because they are the world's largest kingfisher.
Wow you like hearing cockatoos? Bloody annoying things! Well the white ones are anyway, black ones a much quieter lol lol wish I got more black cockatoos where I live, gotta go up the mountains to see them really. I get lorikeets, minors, cockys gallahs, magpies and crows and an Owl occasionally around my flat. I’m in Penrith just at the foot of the blue mountains 👍🏻 great vid guys 👍🏻
Cool video! Speaking of animals, I notices a little black furrball rolling around in the background playing tug of war with Cocopuff. Is he/she yours too?
Koalas are fussy, they only eat the leaves of a particular type of eucalyptus tree. If there are none of those trees around your house, they won’t be there either.
you are becoming an aussie mate... you just said "Just down the road" we say it a lot but it could be mean from 2-20 km or more. is "Just down the road" *L*
@@phoarey They are also called bush turkeys here on the Gold Coast but that is wrong they are really Brush Turkeys. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_brushturkey
You're absolutely right, the correct name is Brush Turkey - someone told us a few videos back, so we checked it out. They are also commonly known as Bush and Scrub Turkeys ❤️ We love seeing them around, such fascinating creatures 😊

Don’t forget the magpies. If you are nice to them they will introduce you to their young in summer
There are quite a few that we missed off of this video, we thought of so many more after filming 😊

There are laws about whales too, distance limits for one, and boat laws as well.

You can see wild platypus in ObeObeCreek at Maleny but you see them at either dawn or dusk. I’m sure you’d love it.
I've camped many time at Cooyar (not far from Yarraman)_ and seen many platypus in the creek back behind the pub....
My Mum says 'punch up' too

I know there is a place north of perth on the W.A coast called Monkey Mia where dolphins come into the inlet and you can interact with them.
We are very lucky to be able to enjoy such incredible experiences ❤️
Hey guys you can get a dolphin feeding experience a lot closer. Just across the bay at Stradie, the dolphins come in at the jetty.
Oh wow, thank you for that! That will save us getting up at 3am! ❤️

Blue tongue lizards are the best, they feast on spiders and snails, gardeners best friend. White cockies are pest.
Are we right in thinking they also keep snakes away?
I’ve seen a few sea turtles off the Sunshine Coast. Another type of cockatoo I often see is the Galah.
We did think of turtles after we recorded this! They defo should have been on that list! 😁
I freaking love galahs. . . They eat all my dandelions so I don't have to bother weeding lol

@@TheBAMFamalam they they destroy the crops on the farm which also Emus do the same thing.
The reason kangaroo numbers have become so high is because of dingos being eradicated from the wild.
