- In this video, I react to a video from a RUclipsr who is commenting on the things she wishes she knew before coming to Australia. I found this one rather interesting as she was coming at it as someone who has travelled somewhat more than some of the people I’ve looked at previously.

Thank you. People are so quick to resort to the ozone layer theory because they can't be bothered to fact check.
And then it gets continually perpetuated by people who hear other people say it & believe that they must be correct!
When we cover ourselves too much and wear sun screen 24/7 , we block vitamin D absorption and then you end up with low vitamin D . I don’t wear sunscreen everyday unless I am outside all day or at a beach . I still can tan . It is chilly at night in Sydney but on a sunny day , it can feel warm . Backpackers tend to rent old houses that are double brick and the landlords don’t provide heating . My house is insulated and I have full duct air conditioning . Backpackers exaggerate everything anyway , especially when they say we never wear shoes . Lol They spend 1 to 2 years in Australia and think they know everything about Australia . They even argue with me , thinking they know better. I have lived in Australia since 1967 , so us locals know better .
I’m really slack about wearing sunscreen & yes it’s so true about vitamin D deficiency. I agree on the heating side of things also: if it’s an older house, then it was built before any regulations existed in terms of insulation etc & many landlords just don’t bother with the expense of putting in insulation!
There WAS a hole in the ozone layer BUT that was 37 years ago. Since switching to hydrofluorocarbons which started in 1987, there has been a marked ozone recovery, and southernmost parts of Australia no longer experience that ozone hole. So a lot of Aussies and Americans need to update their info. It has snowed twice in Sydney in 300 years of records, the last time in July 1984. She was living in Florida in early 2003/2004, the hottest state in the US overall. Black widows in the USA are a close relative of redbacks.
I remember them talking about the hole in the ozone layer when I was on high school & later about reports that having eliminated HFCs that the hole was repairing - I think a lot of Aussies must have missed the latter news or forgot…. Snow in Sydney would be crazy amazing! I remember the big snow dump in Tassie in 1986: people skiing on the Tasman Bridge & I had a snowball fight over the fence with my neighbour’s kid…
Northern NSW has snow, heavy frost and cold winds, much like the temperature of most train station platforms. It's a balmy 9.3 here with wind gusts of 65 km, I think a teaspoon of cement is prescribed. I don't think Aussie males take liberties with a Ladies names as easy as we do with other blokes. Roaches love humidity. The only fashion I know is Elle Macpherson. Popularity has its price, my beloved Sydney is paying the price for it's success. I can remember my Mum giving me $5 to go in and pay for half a tank of fuel, Menthol cigs and a box of Bex or Vincents if they were out. Fuel was 9 cents per litter, cigs 32 cents and Bex I don't know. I do remember you were supposed to have A Good Lie Down with your Bex. $5 wont buy you a pie now, even a Servo one.
My Dad lived just out of Katoomba & used to get snow occasionally!
I remember when I first got my license, I had a little mini & could almost fill the tank on $5 worth of fuel 😂😂😂
@@CheekyKoala I could do the borrow never pay back $5 thing with my Mum (grandmother) and drive from Gosford to Newcastle and back in my V8 Holden. I still have a V8 Holden in the shed. Cost $5 to to turn it on. Better than Adele to my ears. Alas poor Holden I knew him well. I was born in Parramatta and whenever we went to Katoomba my Mum would talk about The Hydro Majestic Hotel being the place where bad ladies took their lovers for naughty weekends. She never did mention those Three Sisters. Sus
😂😂😂
I am glad someone if having a go at correcting these 'Australian Videos". I live south of Sydney and not far from the coast. The seasons on the east coast of Australia can be very blurred, therefore, deciduous trees losing their leaves depends on where they are growing and how hot or cold it is in that location, for example, it is June, and where I live, some trees have dropped their leaves, while others, still have all their leaves. in northern NSW, some deciduous trees turn into evergreen trees.
I remember watching this video and I came to the conclusion that she was a student at Hillsong Church in Westen Sydney. Sydney CBD is at sea level, but as soon as you travel out of Sydney, in any direction, you are climbing and the areas just to the west are the foothills of the Bule Mountains, where the temperature would be several degrees lower than Sydney. Frosts are well known in Westen Sydney.
Ah! Thank you for this insight! It hadn’t occurred to me that in the warmer places that deciduous trees might adapt to the climate! That makes sense though, even here in Bendigo, deciduous trees hang onto their leaves for longer than in the cooler parts of Vic like Melbourne. Also - yes I could see where there would be some areas of greater Sydney that would be cooler & get frost! Thank you ❤️
Umm in point of fact none of the really large spiders are venomous, we get huntsmans here that are as big as my hand but they are not deadly, the really dangerous ones are funnel webs, trap doors and redbacks and they are seldom larger than about a couple of centimetres or so long.
Good point!
Great reaction! Yeah the vast amount of Sydney does not get frost, but, as you know, Sydney is a vast sprawl so you may occasionally see frost in the far western suburbs. I now live one and a half hours drive south of Sydney in the Southern Highlands and we get quite a lot of frosts every winter. No snow as yet but it has happened in the past.
Thanks for clarifying that - I couldn’t quite picture there being frost in Sydney- I’d imagine that nights in the southern highlands must get pretty cold though? I’m in Bendigo, so (ironically) it’s warmer than Canberra in winter, but we definitely get our share of frosts, just not as bad as down Melbourne way!
@@CheekyKoala Yes -5C a few days ago, -1.1C today.
Oh wow! I grew up in Tassie & am accustomed to the occasional minus 1 degrees mornings, but anything below that is just freezing! (actually, 6 years of living in Bendigo, I don’t like anything that’s under 10 degrees anymore; these days below 10 is bloody freezing to me 😂😂)
@@CheekyKoala Well just to be clear the minus days occur over night or early morning but a max of 10C is not uncommon
Yep- I thought that was what you meant! In Tassie, you can go for days on end without reaching double figures- I really don’t miss that!
oh this content on sumones eles content that was copied content and ur recyclying it as new content nice try old lady
It’s what reaction videos are about, you talk about or film your reaction to another video & therefore add your own perspective
