    Interesting tidbit about Australia, although as a country Australia is very young, Ironically Modern Humans likely settled in Australia before they did in west/north Europe about 55k years ago.

    Australia gets its name from the Latin term australis which means southern. An explorer named Matthew Flinders named the land Terra Australis and later that name was shorten to Australia.

    It's ironic that Daz is the least interested in going to Australia, with his personality he would fit in perfectly. With a classic Aussie name like Darren (Dazza), he might as well be Australian. Just needs to work on the accent.

    There's way more to do in Melbourne or Sydney than Manchester lol. Not sure how the logic of wanting to go to NZ but not Aus works considering there's even less to do in NZ. But yes, Australia is a very young nation far removed from most of the world. It's expensive, yes, but wages are higher than most parts of the Earth.

    American here - It was a lot farther away for me. I broke up the trip by stopping 3 days in Hawaii on the way (that concluded visiting all 50 states) and New Zealand on the way home. I used a Qantas pass to cover Sydney, Brisbane, The Geat Barrier Reef, Darwin, Alice Springs, Uluru, Melbourne and Tasmania. You won't get to hold a Koala, learn about aboriginal culture or see kangaroos, crocodiles, fairy penguins, flared lizards, cockatoos, etc, in the wild visiting Scotland.

Its funny how foreigners come to the USA and think they can drive the whole country in a week.

    I guess we are a long way from everything if you measure all distance from Britain or the US which most Aussies dont. At various times I have lived, worked or visited all the continents except Antarctica there is nowhere I have been that would make me want to live somewhere else. You say that there is nothing you want to see in Australia seriously it is home to some of the worlds greatest natural wonders we just drove 17,000 kms towing our caravan right around it so I can tell you that you would be a little surprised at just how much there is to see and do here.

Suck it up for the length of a flight and get down here. You might find it hard to go back. Anyway I love your videos guys and as Ned Kelly supposedly said before they strung him up," Such is life."

But to be one of the most liveable places in the world, and have a great culture and and to be ahead of the rest of the world in many areas, and then you say oh it doesn’t interest me. Gee thanks for that mate. If you wanna stay in a place with sh*t weather and predictability, yeah stay there I guess.

      The US could learn a thing or two. You can still balance a right to gun ownership with public safety

    They tried to breed out the aboriginals? Wow. All us Yanks tried to do was beat and torture the Native American children we effectively stole from their families. I've read quite a bit about the Indian schools, as they were called, and they were incredibly bad. The ones run by nuns seemed to be the worst, but of course, it's popular still to bash the RC Church.
    I'd always wanted to go to New Zealand for the scenery - so beautiful. It'll never happen now that I'm disabled, but It was something I wanted.

    • @willvr4
      @willvr4 10 месяцев назад +3

      Yeah, I've never heard of breeding out Native Americans but the Indian Christian schooling thing was brutal. And by "Americans" I mean North America as a whole...Canada did the same thing. To this day they're still finding massive unmarked grave sites where the schools were in Canada.
      I think people only associate America with what happened to the natives of North America, not Canada (all of which were European settlers). That invisible boarder we invented doesn't exist.

    • @coyotelong4349
      @coyotelong4349 10 месяцев назад

      Another thing about NZ is they’ve historically treated their indigenous people (the Maori) arguably better than any other former British colony country
      To this day, a degree of reverence for and celebration of Maori language, culture and tradition is woven into everyday life for all New Zealanders. It’s kind of a beautiful thing

    • @user-bi8wp6wy3l
      @user-bi8wp6wy3l 8 месяцев назад

      By breeding out they meant taking children usually of mixed race and imposing white cultural believes such as christianity on them in church run missions because they believed that they would be more accepted into the broader society.. The Indian schools in North America were probablity trying to do a similar thing. Nowadays we are able to see how much trauma and harm that caused in those days I guess they believed that they were saving souls or something.

      ​@@coyotelong4349 Yeah I saw that in Once Were Warriors. Did you forget about the Maori or land wars of the 1800s in fact I think 2500 men from the Australian colonies were sent over to NZ at one stage to help their colonial goverment along with other imperial forces try and defeat them. It doesnt sound much different to the way Aboriginal people were treated and their lands taken.There was no actual war with Aboriginal tribes more like localised skirmishes because they were not as organised as the Maori and were less capable of defending themselves against modern weaponry.
