The reason for the difference in sunrise and sunset times is the difference in latitude. If the Sunny Coast was in the northern hemisphere it would be about the same latitude as the Canary Islands or Palm Beach, Florida at around 26-27 degrees latitude. Manchester is much further north at about 53 degrees latitude so gets a greater affect of the parabolic line of sunrise and sunset. In the southern hemisphere, no one lives at 53 degrees as there is just the Southern Ocean, no land mass except for a bit at the very bottom of South America. The closer to the equator, the more even the day and night hours. In the northern winter, the sun is in the southern hemisphere so the north gets very little daylight but the opposite in summer. I noticed a big difference when I moved to Melbourne but even so, Melbourne would be around Alicante, Spain if it was in the northern hemisphere, still much closer to the equator and a more Mediterranean climate with hot dry summers and cold wet winters. The Sunshine Coast will be hot, humid and wet in summer.

I took myself off to the UK in 2016 for my 55th birthday. I do have some UK heritage in the past but I have always felt a connection to the UK. I spent 6 weeks over there and am planning to spending around 18 months in the UK and Europe when I retire in a couple of years. When I was over there I was in London and found myself speaking to a Lady from Manchester - after talking for a while she politely told me that she had never met an Australian before lol.
If you are living near bush just take note on what the birds are doing coming into summer. many birds will flock and make a pretty loud fuss over a predator like a snake making its way through somewhere it shouldn't be. The butcher bird or Noisy miner is a great example of this. they will see snakes long before you do.
The Bug/Beetle is a Harlequin Beetle. Commonaly referred to as Stink Beetle becuse, when they are disturbed, touched, they emit an aroma that will have you gagging.
Good morning, guys. I love my cup of tea and drink a brand called Yorkshire. Have you compared tea out here. Which is closest to the tea you used to drink?
It’s important to note that Queensland does have a wet and dry season because of the tropical climate. More so northern Queensland but it can rain a lot from November to March in Southern Queensland as well.
I spent most of my early years wandering through the bush with my brothers & our mates & the worst thing that ever happened was my brother had a Tick embedded in his back & the odd leach latched onto your leg or foot while swimming in the Nuddie up at the creek . Make a bit of noise with your feet when walking & the snakes will get out of your way usually If they don't then you give way to them & walk around. Walking in the bush is nearly as safe as living in your house in Oz as the Critters love our houses as much as we do.
Terraced houses were often a feature of older suburbs in Australia. I suppose it was familiar to people emigrating from the UK and helped them feel more at home. And I wonder if it took a while for them to adjust their thinking to the larger land mass. The streets in those older suburbs are often quite narrow too. Unlike the houses in the UK, the terrace houses here are much more colonial in style (unsurprisingly) with lots of fancy wrought-iron balcony railings and other ornamentation. Many of them have been restored and are now highly sort after (read: expensive), especially as they are often in the re-born, trendy inner city suburbs.

There’s UK-style terrace houses in inner Sydney but even by the time Melbourne and Adelaide came along terrace houses were bigger, on bigger lots and more detached houses interspersed. By the end of the 19thC no new terrace houses were being built, only detached housing and apartment buildings in built up areas like Sydney’s eastern suburbs. In Queensland settlers went straight to building detached wooden houses suited to the tropics with features adopted from the British experience in India and Singapore/Malaya, like raised floors, enclosed verandas and careful ventilation to ensure a breeze through the house. Sadly with aircon these features are being lost.
There are many species of beetles in Australia. You need to visit a library, take the photo or video to the clerk and ask where you can learn about Queensland’s beetles.

Aussies don't really live in a 'doughnut'. It's more of a crescent, from northern Qld to western SA, plus Tassie, southwest WA and Darwin. The rest of the coastal areas are fairly dry and barren, with very low poulation.
Have you seen the the house lot outside of Brisbane where you can buy one of the old Queenslander style houses that had to be moved. They then put it on a truck and deliver it to your block of land.
Agree, you should do a video on these. There won't be many along the Sunny Coast coast line, the hinterland will have them and Brisbane has heaps.

The HUMIDITY in the summer wet season in Queensland and other northern parts of Australia can be UNBEARABLE That's why people have air-conditioning and fans to cope and stay inside with them operating. Australia has a l-o-n-g history, of a stone-age culture. The Ageless Wisdom Teachings and Theosophy state that the indigenous people of Australia are a remnant descendant people of those who lived MILLIONS of years ago on the ancient now mostly submerged massive continent of Lemuria. Australia was mostly part of that continent. The reason why you do not have many animals that can harm you in the UK is because you killed them all ! You should be more afraid of the TERRAIN than the fauna in OZ. There are experienced bushwalking groups you can join. Many people become easily lost in the bush/forest. Some have died When we were in the UK we were surprised at first how quickly we got to destinations in our hire car, as the area is so small compared to Oz.
You can compare the UK to Victoria as they are the same size but Victoria only has 7 million people compared to 70 million in the UK. Australia has the largest average home size in the world. Our history and culture goes back more than 65,000 years. I hope you get to experience the First Nations culture soon.
When I describe SEQ weather to outsiders I try and say what it makes enjoyable. The winter is perfect weather for hiking, cycling, eating a picnic in the park, walking the dog, fishing camping.... basically anything dry/land based. You'll also find when eat out the venue will almost always have more outdoor eating than indoor. This is not the case in Southern Australia + UK. Summer will present you with a very unique/different lifestyle to winter. The sun will still set at 6pm, but you will find its light at 4:45AM! Cafes will be busy at 6am, some even open 5am. When you've had an amazing day and its not even 9am you feel happy for the rest of the day and anything else is a bonus. I recommend you fully embrace this.
Work to live, don't live to work. 👍🏻 Really interesting, thanks guys. Aboriginal culture has six seasons that relate directly to changes on country. Their culture is 65000 years old and ongoing.

Re the history: We don’t have the castles and palaces that Europe and the UK does, but we do have the oldest living culture on the planet. There are First Nations cultural tours all over Aus, highly recommend learning about some of the local traditions in your area and in places you visit 😊
We did want to mention this but felt we didn’t have enough knowledge on the indigenous people, but we will be looking forward to learning more on the subject the longer we are here in the beautiful land of Australia ❤️🇦🇺

i'm old, we used to get a lot of U.K T.V programing here, My heritage is from South-West England, my grandmother traced our history back 700 years. Some of us Aussie now have thin skin, and get ''upset'' over stupid shit; Some of it is based on how we were treated during WW1 and WW2, and comments from U.K immigrants said and treated us, always like were all convicts and peasants (I comes from a Royal Marine Lieutenant and a Pastors daughter and that over in the second fleet, most of my family have been in the military, Grandfather was at Tobruk, later fought around PNG, transferred to the RAAF), by federation (1901) 167,000 were from convicts. [WW2] Of the total population of 7,000,000 Australians, nearly 500,000 were engaged in munitions, or building roads or airfields, and over 1,000,000 joined the armed services; Australia lost 34,000 service personnel during World War II. Total battle casualties were 72,814. [WW1] Australia's total population at the time was about 4 million, and the 416,809 who enlisted for service represent 38.7 per cent of the total male population aged between 18 and 44 (334,000 served overseas); over 60,000 were killed and 156,000 wounded, gassed, or taken prisoner; At 64.8%, the Australian casualty rate (proportionate to total embarkations) was among the highest of the war.
Believe this or not in Western Australia we have very old buildings that were built by British Colonists... Lot of our old buildings in a lot of states were.... We have massive British history here in Australia and I'm proud of the history.
The beetle is a harlequin beetle a member of our jewel beetle family, the one you saw is commonly called a stink bug ( be warned ) but it's an Aussie experience most of us grew up with 😂. You'll have to try some Aussie Chinese restaurant and give us a comparison, same with the Indian
Ohhhh mate....65,000 plus years of the oldest civilisation on earth! Broken apart by British colonisation....but still surviving!....bit more research for you! Xxx

In Melbourne it is overcast most days from late April until September and in Winter sun set is about 4.45 and last light about 5.30 on a rare clear day. Most people in Australia are within 50km of the sea however in the UK 100% of the population are within 130km of the sea. So a day at the beach in the UK can be had by anyone. I would be careful with the dog in the bush as there are Paralysis Ticks that can be fatal.
Id suggest heading down south for summer and north in winter if you're going to do any travelling. Im not going to tell you where to go it more fun when you discover it by yourselves, and remember every days a school day. And the great thing about technology is you can take a picture and ask Google
When my parents emigrated from Cumberland to Brisbane many years ago when I was 12 years old, they also embraced the Aussie outdoor lifestyle and learnt how to play golf. As they got better they travelled to different golf courses and entered competitions and did really well. Dad eventually became the president of his golf club and they just loved the outdoor lifestyle and the Aussie laid back culture.
21:40 Ok gotta pull you up there... "Theres nothing you need to worry about, you dont need to take any precautions or anything" Lol this is why its only really tourists and immigrants that go missing in the bush. Yes... Its plenty safe here to do things like that... But take precautions.. dont just wander off into the bush thinking theres no danger to be had...
Definitely have terrace houses in Sydney and parts of Melbourne. Mostly inner city suburbs like Redfern, Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, Paddington , Glebe and Newtown, Balmain, and others nearby... Most were also once working class homes for factory workers and such like. Some though are very palatial and luxurious in comparison, resembling West End London homes. Most have been gentrified by middle class professionals as workers shifted out to the outer suburbs with the industry which formerly was located in the inner city.
Thes ones arent Christmas beetles..wrong colouring...think the woman who said theyre Harlequin jewel beetles might be correct...the Christmas beetles are more blue with some red colouring..havent seen those in Sydney for a number of years...
To be fair its not far of the truth so no need to reply like that. Its something like 85% percent of the population lives within 50kms from the coast, so in reality less than an hour away which is pretty close.
👍🏻 Aside from those who live in a beachside suburb, it would take many Sydney and Melbourne residents an hour to get to the beach. And Brisbane doesn’t have any beaches nearby.
I lived in terraced houses in Sydney when I was younger. They were always good sized as well with really high ceilings. But then in the 1800's Melbourne was the wealthiest city in the world with the gold rushes. Maybe that is what has made the difference...
Dogs arent real great with water, especially such a small one as yours, which get more stressed than larger ones...The surf particularly he rightly needs to be nervous around...Have been to the UK and I dont remember a sunny day for the whole trip....
Historical sites are treated differently in Australia. If the site is free, then more than likely it will be vandalized or destroyed. Because of this most sites have the public paying admission. Sovereign hill - Pay Port Arthur - Pay Free to public - Captain Cook's cottage (Vandalized and graffitied every year) Tree of Knowledge (Queensland) Birthplace of the ALP (Labor party and site of 1890 shearers strike) poisoned and killed in 2006. Ancient and sacred Aboriginal rock shelters at Juukan Gorge in Western Australia destroyed by Mining company even though they knew about them and where they were.
If you travel to any of the smaller, rural towns in Australia you'll find that most of them have a Chinese restaurant. Lots of Chinese people came to Australia during the gold rush of the 1800s. Many stayed and opened small general stores, established market gardens, or opened Chinese restaurants. Many towns in Australia also had either fish and chip shops or milkbars. Again, because of immigration, these were often run by expatriate Greeks, hence the number of cafes and milkbars called The Olympia or The Acropolis. Lastly, it was the Italian immigration in the 1950s that drove our, now very entrenched, coffee culture, even though, at home, most Australians were still tea drinkers.
I can honestly say that in my 75 years as an Aussie, I have only ever seen a snake at a distance once in my life, and I have also lived in the country as well as the cities...As far as spiders go, apart from huntsman, which are harmless, Ive only ever been close to a dangerous spider, a funnel web, once, and that was in an old flat I lived in over 40 years ago, that had lots of greenery almost coming in the windows.....
It is a helicopter rescue in Queensland . Don’t worry about spiders and snakes . I live in Sydney and rarely seen them When bush walking wear long pants and hiking shoes . I saw a snake at Jervis Bay National Park NSW and it just slithered away . If you leave them alone , they won’t bother you . It was a type of Python that isn’t venomous. Lovely vlog thank you .
Don’t know about the Sunshine Coast but food scene has changed so much Melbourne/Victoria in the 50 years I have been here. Back in the day, every high st and country town had a Chinese joint. There is a historical link with Chinese goldfield workers in Victoria so it is kinda understandable. They were pretty good if a bit westernised but that was about as exotic as it got. With waves of different migrants though it has become so diverse that you can just about find anything. African is a bit limited but available, and there are some amazing places. If you get a chance try Lebanese or Afghani …yummm! and Vietnamese, Indian, Thai and Japanese have almost become as ubiquitous as the old Chinese joint….love it!

As an Aussie, who also spent the obligatory 2 year working holiday in the UK in the 90s I can maybe add a bit. First of all, yes, the history of Britain is a big draw for those of us who like such things. Aboriginal culture and history is fascinating but due to our own history of colonisation it can be a fraught topic. Also, the bad weather and population density of Britain means that you have more developed 'indoor' culture i.e., music, the arts, clubs, museums galleries, literature, cinema etc. whereas the reason Australia thrives in the sporting arena is our climate is so conducive to 'outdoor' culture. As for the food, there was a time that every town and suburb had a Chinese restaurant or two. The Chinese have been migrating here since the days of the gold rush and they often found it was easier and more profitable to feed the locals. However, roll forward a few decades and the thanks to their work ethic and focus on education, the children of these small business owners have largely graduated university to become doctors, lawyers, pharmacists, engineers, and other well-paid STEM professions. Consequently, the kids don't want to take over the family restaurant. In the meanwhile, Aussies discovered that holidaying Thailand and Indonesia is much cheaper than staying local and the food is delicious. This created a demand for Thai food back home, and so Thai restaurants have largely taken over from the Chinese ones. Aussies are generally friendly and helpful because we have it so good. It is easier to be generous with your time and space when you have more of it to share, and that is another benefit of the 'work life balance' we enjoy. I've lived here (on and off) for over 5 decades, and the only animals that have ever attacked me are dogs, a European wasp, and a European honeybee; none of which are native. I have however been bitten countless times by local mosquitos, and viciously swooped (but not actually harmed) by some of our local avian species. I'd say the biggest danger to your pup are the ticks, so please ensure you use treatments to prevent a heartbreaking situation. As for spiders and snakes, their only two that pose a threat to human life in south-east Queensland. The eastern brown snake, and the redback spider. Brown snakes are common and can be aggressive in the spring time as they come out of hibernation hungry and horny. Redbacks are usually ever found outdoors around garden furniture, wood piles, or the eves of sheds and houses. However, while painful, a redback bit is unlikely to kill and healthy adult human. Pythons are relatively common but are not venomous, so not really a danger for humans,. But, I notice your pup is on the small side, and could become the target of a larger python. Don't know if you've been there yet or not, but Maleny in the Sunshine Coast hinterland makes a good day trip, especially to escape the summer heat, and Eumundi has weekend markets that are a popular tourist attraction. If you come further south and visit the Gold Coast, take the time to checkout Mt Tamborine in the Gold Coast hinterland.
I haven't been to the UK, but an English friend once described Australia as to like watching a colour tv compared to England as to watching a black & white tv.
I love this 👆. My cousin came over from Nottingham last year and couldn't get over the vibrancy of colours. He went back to England for a month and when he came back he said "everything is so Gray back there" 😂
If you want to experience Australian culture stretching back, discover more about the indigenous cultures of our nation. Or even just about the culture of your immediate area. Much, much older than the cultures of Britain.
With spring and summer almost here, when walking between trees (particularly at night) just keep eye out for golden orb (I think) spider webs. The webs are usually about adult head height, 50-100cm big, super strong, sticky and you will instantly turn into a ninja walking through one. Don’t worry too much about the spider, only eat insects and usually drop to ground. I still look for spiders on me and have crawlies for hours after.
Yeah.. being sunshine coast, and the fact you guys have a pool.. means you will need to keep an eye out for brown snakes. But yeah thats preety much the only wildlife thing youre likely to have any issues with... If you dont count ants
I know them as harlequin jewel beetles. Whether that's a common name or slang name for them, I'm not sure

When we were in the UK we were surprised at first how quickly we got to destinations in our hire car, as the area is so small compared to Oz.
You can compare the UK to Victoria as they are the same size but Victoria only has 7 million people compared to 70 million in the UK. Australia has the largest average home size in the world. Our history and culture goes back more than 65,000 years. I hope you get to experience the First Nations culture soon.
When I describe SEQ weather to outsiders I try and say what it makes enjoyable. The winter is perfect weather for hiking, cycling, eating a picnic in the park, walking the dog, fishing camping.... basically anything dry/land based.
You'll also find when eat out the venue will almost always have more outdoor eating than indoor. This is not the case in Southern Australia + UK.
Summer will present you with a very unique/different lifestyle to winter. The sun will still set at 6pm, but you will find its light at 4:45AM! Cafes will be busy at 6am, some even open 5am. When you've had an amazing day and its not even 9am you feel happy for the rest of the day and anything else is a bonus. I recommend you fully embrace this.
You are both tanning up very well.:-)
Work to live, don't live to work. 👍🏻
Really interesting, thanks guys.
Aboriginal culture has six seasons that relate directly to changes on country. Their culture is 65000 years old and ongoing. Check it out, it's really smart and interesting.
Doggos love to roll in beach sand, let lil Picco go. Tip: once the sand dries you can brush it off his face really easily. ☮️
Thanks for sharing!
Your little dog is soo beautiful. 🙂
You are so kind❤️
Re the history: We don’t have the castles and palaces that Europe and the UK does, but we do have the oldest living culture on the planet. There are First Nations cultural tours all over Aus, highly recommend learning about some of the local traditions in your area and in places you visit 😊
We did want to mention this but felt we didn’t have enough knowledge on the indigenous people, but we will be looking forward to learning more on the subject the longer we are here in the beautiful land of Australia ❤️🇦🇺
@@EatVentureVlog totally fair! There are a lot of people who have lived here their whole lives who aren’t interested in learning about what came before 1788. Really love your curiosity, wonder and enthusiasm for the new experiences around you, you’re a great reminder to us all to enjoy and love what we have here ❤️
VERY VERY GLOOMY are the words i think your'e lookin for.
i'm old, we used to get a lot of U.K T.V programing here, My heritage is from South-West England, my grandmother traced our history back 700 years.
Some of us Aussie now have thin skin, and get ''upset'' over stupid shit; Some of it is based on how we were treated during WW1 and WW2, and comments from U.K immigrants said and treated us, always like were all convicts and peasants (I comes from a Royal Marine Lieutenant and a Pastors daughter and that over in the second fleet, most of my family have been in the military, Grandfather was at Tobruk, later fought around PNG, transferred to the RAAF), by federation (1901) 167,000 were from convicts.
[WW2] Of the total population of 7,000,000 Australians, nearly 500,000 were engaged in munitions, or building roads or airfields, and over 1,000,000 joined the armed services; Australia lost 34,000 service personnel during World War II. Total battle casualties were 72,814.
[WW1] Australia's total population at the time was about 4 million, and the 416,809 who enlisted for service represent 38.7 per cent of the total male population aged between 18 and 44 (334,000 served overseas); over 60,000 were killed and 156,000 wounded, gassed, or taken prisoner; At 64.8%, the Australian casualty rate (proportionate to total embarkations) was among the highest of the war.
Believe this or not in Western Australia we have very old buildings that were built by British Colonists... Lot of our old buildings in a lot of states were.... We have massive British history here in Australia and I'm proud of the history.
The beetle is a harlequin beetle a member of our jewel beetle family, the one you saw is commonly called a stink bug ( be warned ) but it's an Aussie experience most of us grew up with 😂.
You'll have to try some Aussie Chinese restaurant and give us a comparison, same with the Indian
Ohhhh mate....65,000 plus years of the oldest civilisation on earth! Broken apart by British colonisation....but still surviving!....bit more research for you! Xxx
Not 65,000 years. It’s a guess based on BS data. Real data says about 3,000 years but that’s deliberately suppressed.
There's not much trace of it for people who just arrive here. They weren't big on monuments or structures so to anyone who hasn't learned it in school you probably wouldn't know.
.65,000 plus years HAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA drongo
RACQ LifeFlight is a rescue / aeromedical helicopter service. RACQ is the major sponsor and has had the naming rights with the RACQ colours for the service for the past 30 years.
In Melbourne it is overcast most days from late April until September and in Winter sun set is about 4.45 and last light about 5.30 on a rare clear day.
Most people in Australia are within 50km of the sea however in the UK 100% of the population are within 130km of the sea.
So a day at the beach in the UK can be had by anyone.
I would be careful with the dog in the bush as there are Paralysis Ticks that can be fatal.
Id suggest heading down south for summer and north in winter if you're going to do any travelling. Im not going to tell you where to go it more fun when you discover it by yourselves, and remember every days a school day. And the great thing about technology is you can take a picture and ask Google
Harlequin bug, often called a stink bug. Squash one and find out why. 40 degrees is extremely rare in SEQ but the summer humidity can be fierce.
Always have a giggle at some of the beaches in Europe. No chance in hell I would bother going to a beach with rocks instead of sand.
Their truly awful ain’t they 😅
There are sand beach in Britain.
The "right to roam" laws in England are MUCH, MUCH better than here.
When my parents emigrated from Cumberland to Brisbane many years ago when I was 12 years old, they also embraced the Aussie outdoor lifestyle and learnt how to play golf. As they got better they travelled to different golf courses and entered competitions and did really well. Dad eventually became the president of his golf club and they just loved the outdoor lifestyle and the Aussie laid back culture.

Ok gotta pull you up there... "Theres nothing you need to worry about, you dont need to take any precautions or anything"
Lol this is why its only really tourists and immigrants that go missing in the bush.
Yes... Its plenty safe here to do things like that... But take precautions.. dont just wander off into the bush thinking theres no danger to be had...
Definitely have terrace houses in Sydney and parts of Melbourne. Mostly inner city suburbs like Redfern, Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, Paddington , Glebe and Newtown, Balmain, and others nearby... Most were also once working class homes for factory workers and such like. Some though are very palatial and luxurious in comparison, resembling West End London homes. Most have been gentrified by middle class professionals as workers shifted out to the outer suburbs with the industry which formerly was located in the inner city.
Ther called Christmas Beetles or stink bugs don't pick em up they make yor hands smell bad
Thes ones arent Christmas beetles..wrong colouring...think the woman who said theyre Harlequin jewel beetles might be correct...the Christmas beetles are more blue with some red colouring..havent seen those in Sydney for a number of years...
No they are NOT Christmas Beetles...

90% of Aussies living 10 mins from a beach haha lol.. nope don't think so!
To be fair its not far of the truth so no need to reply like that.
Its something like 85% percent of the population lives within 50kms from the coast, so in reality less than an hour away which is pretty close.
👍🏻
Aside from those who live in a beachside suburb, it would take many Sydney and Melbourne residents an hour to get to the beach. And Brisbane doesn’t have any beaches nearby.
I lived in terraced houses in Sydney when I was younger. They were always good sized as well with really high ceilings. But then in the 1800's Melbourne was the wealthiest city in the world with the gold rushes. Maybe that is what has made the difference...
I hope you're Blue not Red citeh citeh best team in the world
Dogs arent real great with water, especially such a small one as yours, which get more stressed than larger ones...The surf particularly he rightly needs to be nervous around...Have been to the UK and I dont remember a sunny day for the whole trip....
Historical sites are treated differently in Australia. If the site is free, then more than likely it will be vandalized or destroyed. Because of this most sites have the public paying admission.
Sovereign hill - Pay
Port Arthur - Pay
Free to public - Captain Cook's cottage (Vandalized and graffitied every year)
Tree of Knowledge (Queensland) Birthplace of the ALP (Labor party and site of 1890 shearers strike) poisoned and killed in 2006.
Ancient and sacred Aboriginal rock shelters at Juukan Gorge in Western Australia destroyed by Mining company even though they knew about them and where they were.
couple of weeks and see how you go, humidity is horrid for us let alone you guys, least ya have the pool there , 💗 love ya vids
If you travel to any of the smaller, rural towns in Australia you'll find that most of them have a Chinese restaurant. Lots of Chinese people came to Australia during the gold rush of the 1800s. Many stayed and opened small general stores, established market gardens, or opened Chinese restaurants. Many towns in Australia also had either fish and chip shops or milkbars. Again, because of immigration, these were often run by expatriate Greeks, hence the number of cafes and milkbars called The Olympia or The Acropolis. Lastly, it was the Italian immigration in the 1950s that drove our, now very entrenched, coffee culture, even though, at home, most Australians were still tea drinkers.
I can honestly say that in my 75 years as an Aussie, I have only ever seen a snake at a distance once in my life, and I have also lived in the country as well as the cities...As far as spiders go, apart from huntsman, which are harmless, Ive only ever been close to a dangerous spider, a funnel web, once, and that was in an old flat I lived in over 40 years ago, that had lots of greenery almost coming in the windows.....
There are a lot of terrace houses in The Rocks area of Sydney.
Nice video guys...keep up the good work!
Don’t touch him he will bit and your hand will fall off
It is a helicopter rescue in Queensland . Don’t worry about spiders and snakes . I live in Sydney and rarely seen them When bush walking wear long pants and hiking shoes . I saw a snake at Jervis Bay National Park NSW and it just slithered away . If you leave them alone , they won’t bother you . It was a type of Python that isn’t venomous. Lovely vlog thank you .
Are you here for good or just for a while?
You guys should go check out Byron bay
Great rambling,love it❤
27 million people
Downt road lol
Don’t know about the Sunshine Coast but food scene has changed so much Melbourne/Victoria in the 50 years I have been here. Back in the day, every high st and country town had a Chinese joint. There is a historical link with Chinese goldfield workers in Victoria so it is kinda understandable. They were pretty good if a bit westernised but that was about as exotic as it got. With waves of different migrants though it has become so diverse that you can just about find anything. African is a bit limited but available, and there are some amazing places. If you get a chance try Lebanese or Afghani …yummm! and Vietnamese, Indian, Thai and Japanese have almost become as ubiquitous as the old Chinese joint….love it!
Sorry forgot to mention amazing Italian and Greek has always been available in Melbourne but typically in pockets of the city.
I've always noticed that with the houses in the UK in every tv shows I've seen that in the UK there always like units i can't remember seeing a UK show that shows actual houses
I've seen them, usually further out of cities.
Guys you may want to get in touch with 2 British families who live in the Gold Coast, they are the BAM FAMALAM & THE JOHNSTON FAMILY. Both families are excellent to talk to.
Yes we have seen them both, great RUclips channels!
Try Darwin for a holiday, that’s another world. If you get as far as Kakadu, you’re in another world all together.
We will add this to our list for sure ❤️
Hi from Jamberoo NSW. Every time I say Picco I say it in your accent. Piccooooor is so cute. ❤ lovin your vids.
😊 thank you, we’re glad your enjoying ❤️
We have a lot of Indian restaurants in Melbourne, as we have a very large Indian population. My patents live in Caloundra on the Sunshine coast and there are a few well known Indian restaurants in the area including one in Maroochydore and called Bombay Bliss.
unfortunately.
love this sort of brit vs aus perspective...
We’re glad you’ve enjoyed the video 😊
The best Thai food on the coast is Som Tam Thai on Aerodrome Rd.
Thank you, we’ll give this a try 🙌
It was a beetle don't know the name and yes it's police chopper

All the best here in Oz. Your dog is SO cute ❤
Thank you for your kind words ❤️
It’s a stink bug

Love to know what village you actually come from. Been to your part of the world many times. Usually based in Flint.
We come from a place named Bolton ❤️
@@EatVentureVlog Cheers for your prompt reply. I was guessing Blackburn. I’m in Nth NSW. Love to catch up if you’re ever about. Enjoy your life in this amazing country.
If you are ever down in Brisbane I can recommend a fantastic Greek and Turkish restaurant!
What’s the name of it?❤️
@@EatVentureVlog- the Greek restaurant is Lefkas Taverna and one Turkish is Caravan Serai. Good news is that the two are across the road from each other. Address is 1 Dornoch Terrace West End. Can also highly recommend Downtown Istanbul at Hawthorn.
As an Aussie, who also spent the obligatory 2 year working holiday in the UK in the 90s I can maybe add a bit. First of all, yes, the history of Britain is a big draw for those of us who like such things. Aboriginal culture and history is fascinating but due to our own history of colonisation it can be a fraught topic. Also, the bad weather and population density of Britain means that you have more developed 'indoor' culture i.e., music, the arts, clubs, museums galleries, literature, cinema etc. whereas the reason Australia thrives in the sporting arena is our climate is so conducive to 'outdoor' culture. As for the food, there was a time that every town and suburb had a Chinese restaurant or two. The Chinese have been migrating here since the days of the gold rush and they often found it was easier and more profitable to feed the locals. However, roll forward a few decades and the thanks to their work ethic and focus on education, the children of these small business owners have largely graduated university to become doctors, lawyers, pharmacists, engineers, and other well-paid STEM professions. Consequently, the kids don't want to take over the family restaurant. In the meanwhile, Aussies discovered that holidaying Thailand and Indonesia is much cheaper than staying local and the food is delicious. This created a demand for Thai food back home, and so Thai restaurants have largely taken over from the Chinese ones. Aussies are generally friendly and helpful because we have it so good. It is easier to be generous with your time and space when you have more of it to share, and that is another benefit of the 'work life balance' we enjoy. I've lived here (on and off) for over 5 decades, and the only animals that have ever attacked me are dogs, a European wasp, and a European honeybee; none of which are native. I have however been bitten countless times by local mosquitos, and viciously swooped (but not actually harmed) by some of our local avian species. I'd say the biggest danger to your pup are the ticks, so please ensure you use treatments to prevent a heartbreaking situation. As for spiders and snakes, their only two that pose a threat to human life in south-east Queensland. The eastern brown snake, and the redback spider. Brown snakes are common and can be aggressive in the spring time as they come out of hibernation hungry and horny. Redbacks are usually ever found outdoors around garden furniture, wood piles, or the eves of sheds and houses. However, while painful, a redback bit is unlikely to kill and healthy adult human. Pythons are relatively common but are not venomous, so not really a danger for humans,. But, I notice your pup is on the small side, and could become the target of a larger python. Don't know if you've been there yet or not, but Maleny in the Sunshine Coast hinterland makes a good day trip, especially to escape the summer heat, and Eumundi has weekend markets that are a popular tourist attraction. If you come further south and visit the Gold Coast, take the time to checkout Mt Tamborine in the Gold Coast hinterland.
mmm Maybe there on the SUNSHINE COAST?....
I haven't been to the UK, but an English friend once described Australia as to like watching a colour tv compared to England as to watching a black & white tv.
I love this 👆. My cousin came over from Nottingham last year and couldn't get over the vibrancy of colours. He went back to England for a month and when he came back he said "everything is so Gray back there" 😂
That’s a great way to explain it 😂
@@EatVentureVlog So when are you going to buy a 4wd and get out and explore this magnificent country?
If you want to experience Australian culture stretching back, discover more about the indigenous cultures of our nation. Or even just about the culture of your immediate area. Much, much older than the cultures of Britain.
Agreed, most of the history of Australia is not European. That’s not the same thing as the usual trope of ‘Australia doesn’t have much history’
Don't forget, White Australia may only be 236 years old, but there is 60,000+ years of Aboriginal culture to consider... 😊
Came to say the same thing
60k HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAHAHAHA
With spring and summer almost here, when walking between trees (particularly at night) just keep eye out for golden orb (I think) spider webs.
The webs are usually about adult head height, 50-100cm big, super strong, sticky and you will instantly turn into a ninja walking through one.
Don’t worry too much about the spider, only eat insects and usually drop to ground. I still look for spiders on me and have crawlies for hours after.
Haha wow iv never been to the ocean or been in a plane an Iv just turned 50 ffs
Yeah.. being sunshine coast, and the fact you guys have a pool.. means you will need to keep an eye out for brown snakes. But yeah thats preety much the only wildlife thing youre likely to have any issues with... If you dont count ants
mmmm,,I think it is a lady Bug,,,,,,,
@@LloydWright-c3e
lady bugs are red with black dots and are smaller in size with a rounded body.
What is a UKRAINIAN helicopter doing in Australia, Blue & Yellow...
You are joking ?
