2:12. For the Americans: *YOU ARE NOT EXPECTED TO TIP IN AUSTRALIA* So, you go to the counter of the restaurant to pay your bill, than pay it to the last cent and you leave.
Its far cheaper to eat out in the US than Australia even with tipping. Even though the base rate is less in the US the wages of the worker get subsidized by the customer via the tipping process .
@@westnblu And if part of the wages of the worker comes from tipping, *they are not getting taxed* Consequently, it is difficult to subsidize, for example, medicine and education. In my opinion, at the end of the day it is better to pay more, for example, at the restaurant, but to pay only for food without tipping. The waiter will earn more and will pay his taxes. The money will go to the government and the government will be able to support medicine and education.
Yes, driving on the other side of the road is easy to get used to, as long as there's other traffic around. I'm Australian and have visited the US three times and driven extensively each time. First time at age 24, crossing the street on day 1 and before any driving, looked right, nothing coming so stepped out, almost hit by a truck from my left. Ten more weeks with no problems. Second time at age 50, also on day 1, rented a car and drove several hours. Stopped for lunch. Coming out of burger joint looked to my right, nothing coming so pulled out. Almost hit by a truck from my left. Six more weeks with no problems. Third time at age 55, in the country and driving for a week with no problems, pulled off road to take a picture, no other cars around, resumed driving on left side. Went a mile or two and spotted another car coming right at me. Swerved to right side of road, missing other car by 1" or so. Three more weeks with no problems. You can get it right 99% of the time but it only takes that one time you forget where you are and you can be killed. I was lucky three times. Last trip was to UK. Renting a car in Scotland, no problem for me but American woman waiting for her car was beside herself saying "keep left, keep left, keep left". She was clearly very nervous and I wonder how she went. A few years ago, an Australian woman stepped out in front of a bus in Sydney and was killed. It turns out she'd lived the last 10 years in France and returned home only the day before. What do you think she did? She looked to her left, nothing coming so she stepped out. It's so easy to do.
In Australia, "Melbourne" is always "Melben". Americans love to overprounce it as "Mel-boouuurne" like the Bourne Identity or whatever. Nobody here says that. Ever. I've also heard non-Aussies call it "Can-Berrah". No. It's "Can'brah".
I like hearing the American pronunciation of Melbourne. I don’t know why people get so triggered by it. I’m just happy you’re enjoying yourself here man.
@@thomassmith4999 um no, in that each is treated differently, even at a first aid level. Envenomation is treated differently to poisoning for example, which is different again to being treated for toxins, be they external sources or internal (such as one variation of food poisoning for example).
@@arokh72 This is a great example of what schooling does to people and why unschooled kids end up so much more well rounded. Language isn't a rule book. For communication between people we can use any of those words and many more without causing any problem or misunderstanding.
@@thomassmith4999 not correct, this is a very important point. Being an Aboriginal person and eating snakes when hunting, you MUST know the difference between a venomous and a poisonous snake, or you will end up very sick or dead. For city people it may seem a matter of being pedantic or OCD, but for us, it can be a matter of survival.
Dont get too laidback about snakes when bushwalking, camping and hiking; especially in hot temps. Always watch your step and never run through the bush. I remember when I was with a group of friends and a chinese resident, (quite new to Australia) started running ahead on the bush path. At that moment, a little baby black snake slithered right underneath her running step in the blink of an eye. She was oblivious to her near brush with danger until I told her. You don't need to be scared, just watch your step. The hotter the temps, the more likely you may encounter a snake; especially on a clear bush path.
In Bali I stayed next to a rice field and my bathroom was open to the garden, I was warned that at night sometimes cobras came in and wrapped themselves around the toilet so I carefully checked the potty before entering!
Be careful WALKING across the street, the traffic is coming from the direction opposite to what you expect. Almost got wiped out when I first got to NZ.
Don't worry Tristan, plenty of venomous snakes would have seen you when you were hiking. They are very, very well camouflaged and they are good at hiding and they are also very shy. Take it from me I'm a very experienced herper. You've got to know how and where to look.
True--Years ago, at the Snake and Reptile park, I was checking out the snake pit which is set up as natural bush. At first I thought that they hadn't yet put any snakes in it. After about ten minutes I spotted about fifteen almost invisible snakes!
It's weird to think about Christmas. I mean, here in Phoenix it's not exactly freezing at Christmas, but for it to actually be summer would just be a whole different vibe.
Going to argue with number 7: While it IS true in the cities you generally don't have to worry about venomous critters do keep an eye out for them in more country areas, especially during late Spring and Summer (Nov to Feb) as the density of wild life tends to be more. You're still probably fairly safe but do keep an eye out in public bathrooms for spiders especially. Oh and in NSW near the Sydney area do make sure to check anything you try drying outside before you bring it in; funnel web males like to wander and can sometimes get stuck inside said sheets... (Though that said you're much more likely to encounter the fairly harmless, if freaky looking, huntsman spiders instead, and I believe most hospitals do stock anti-venom in case any bites you get weren't dry bites). Snakes aren't really a problem though as most of our more venomous snakes are actually fairly shy and prefer to flee rather than bite (unless you go after them) barring brown snakes.
The only problem when driving in Australia is to concentrate when starting and when stopping. People tend to look the wrong way when starting and go onto oncoming traffic and mentally switch off before they stop. Once you are driving its easy, just remember my advice,
To be technical it’s Melben not melbin. That’s coming directly from a Melbournian. Just like Brisbane is pronounced brisben or brissie for short. Also extra cost for sauce? Maybe at a fish and chip shop, but not cafes, restaurants or even places like kfc. If they’re charging you, they’re scamming you.
Nice to see another Australia video from you, Tristan. The indicator/wiper thing depends on where the car was made rather than whether you are driving on a country where you drive on the left or right side. Japanese brands will have the indicator on the right and wipers on the left. European and American cars will be opposite that. One error I have made going to a right hand drive country is going to the wrong side of the car. This makes you feel silly went you are renting and get in and find there is no steering wheel in front of you but really embarrassing when you are getting into a taxi and try to get in the driver's side (Aussies ride "shotgun" in the front of a taxi). Another Australian city that is regularly mispronounced by visitors is Brisbane, which should be pronounced "Brisbn".
No.7 Plenty of people get bitten by snakes every year in Australia, however every hospital and medical clinic has broad spectrum antivenom to administer , so fatalities are rare !
You definitely do have to check toilets for snakes I have personally and my partner who grew up in Portland have had snakes curled up in in those metal toilets.
Hi Tristan. I am here to tell you that I stayed in a place in far west Queensland and during the night the desert gets very cold and the snakes DO coil around the dunny pan for warmth. You were actually correct with that point. The proprietor was keen to inform us to wear shoes and check for snakes when using the out house.
You are AWESOME MAAAATTTTEEE!!!. I've watched so many of your Aussie (and Croatian/Texas) vid's over last 12 months and I just had to drop you a note to say....... a) you're such a incredible advocate for this AMAZING country (Tourism Aust should have you on their payroll). b) your commentary on Aust. is for the most part correct, true and accurate view of how Aust rolls. c) I LOVE your enthusiasm for Aust and all things in it. d) I hope the TEXAS 2021 BIG FREEZE is thawing and you & you're family are ok......AND d) your super cute :-)))))
Great vid 😊 Thank you for mentioning our flags!👏🙏. Our oceans are one of the biggest risk to tourists. Swim between the flags people. And if you can't swim, stay out of the ocean! I'm sure you know this but it's worth saying again; Wear high protection sunscreen and a hat during summer, especially when the UV index is high. (Weather apps will show you this info.) The UV radiation intensity, which causes skin cancer etc, is about 7% higher here in the summer than in the northern hemisphere. It's due to the earth's orbit bringing Australia closer to the sun. Well done on Melbourne👍. Also similarly, Brisbane is Brisban/Brisben. 😆
Nicely done mate. Recommend you look up Slim Dusty singing Redback on the Toilet Seat. Dry bush dunnys and out houses can have that problem. Cheers mate! Keep up the good work!
Don't know about the spiders being a rare encounter, I once woke up to a large and when I say large, I mean large spider being right on the wall beside my face, I was sleeping next to a wall, it's fangs were huge, huge and hairy legs, I couldn't believe what was sleeping right next to my face, I will say though that even though it was so close to my face it didn't bite me, maybe they don't attack unless provoked.
I was so ready to roast you for the snakes in the toilet. Great bait and switch. I've lived here for over 10 years, including 3 years in the Northern Territory. I've done countless bush walks, and I've seen a grand total of two snakes - one was a children's python, and the other was on a bush track and took off when I was still 10 metres away. Notwithstanding that though, I still check my gumboots before putting them on... Just in case.
I've seen about 15 here in perth over 25 years, mainly they hang around the beach dunes. I've seen more snakes on rotto than anywhere else, all were dugites. On the mainland they were almost all browns.
Passport for ID at a club or liquor store? I get all tourists would have one but not all Australians have a passport so not sure why you need a passport for ID to buy alcohol or go into a club. I mean what if you lose your passport or it’s stolen and you can’t get back to your home country.
Nice video man, however if you didn't see a snake you were either hiking in Victoria during Winter or.. You weren't looking or listening. You'll hear 50 of them for every one you actually see.
Another great video Tristan. As an old backpacker from Melbourne, love listening to your travelling experiences. Keep them coming. X (Where are you at the moment????)
You mentioned about Australia in previous videos despite of it i love to watch you... Tristan you should get information about NZ as well make video on it buddy.
Okay im sorry but i live in Australia and u really do have to be careful about the snakes and spiders idk where u are but most places there really intrusive like bro- :-:
Visitors come to Australia and think snakes are like "oh there's a human visitor! I'll just wave hello and display myself to them!" Seriously they do not want to interact and will slither quietly away from humans unless some idiot tries to poke them.
Getting bit on the ass by a snake does happen. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. 9/10 you will have nothing to worry about. But it CAN happen.
Australians respect kangaroos. I have watched family members get beaten up by kangaroos. We had an exchange student march right up to a kangaroo and pat it, while we cowered behind (yes we did warn her).
What a crock of shit about the snakes. In restaurants, just ask the staff if you order at the counter or is it table service ? Simple. Good stuff though.
Ok so ive been pronouncing it wrong all this time and no one told us. Thats just a pure crime everytime ive seen it on the maps and if heard it on tv i thought it was Melbourne bc thats how its spelled i was always taught whell spelling something to sound it out melbin sounds melvin with a speach impediment i never knew i was pronouncing it wrong now i feel bad.
Dead set, there was a red back on our ensuite toilet the other day, so I wouldn't be too blasé about the likelihood of a venomous snake when you are taking a dump.
Passport for ID at a club or liquor store? I get all tourists would have one but not all Australians have a passport so not sure why you need a passport for ID to buy alcohol or go into a club. I mean what if you lose your passport or it’s stolen and you can’t get back to your home country.
That hair, that earring, I'm having visions of the 80s...my early teen years, especially WHAM.
First thing I noticed, before you got to number 10, was that you've learned how to pronounce Melbourne lol. Good job
Haha thanks
@@TristanKuhn I don't think you can say it the wrong way.

I've never seen you wearing glasses before.... You suit them. :D
Aussie here! Thank you for this very accurate and well put together video! Everything you said is 100% true👌
Australia is mainly desert! Tasmania is the only state that has no desert in it, but then again it is an island South of Victoria.
Victoria also has no desert. The north west is mostly grassland. The closest desert to Victoria would have to be in South Australia.
The live savers will thank you for the public announcement about the Red and yellow flags.
You're knowledge of Aussie is so spot on now you'll have to become one of us :D The snake number made me laugh.

@@jaytops Ridiculous! Surely it's a state law though, not a national one.
we don't curse! ffs!

Dead set, there was a red back on our ensuite toilet the other day, so I wouldn't be too blasé about the likelihood of a venomous snake when you are taking a dump.
You have no clue,
liar
Wtf i hate this
Passport for ID at a club or liquor store? I get all tourists would have one but not all Australians have a passport so not sure why you need a passport for ID to buy alcohol or go into a club. I mean what if you lose your passport or it’s stolen and you can’t get back to your home country.
It’s only needed for non Australians. Foreign drivers licenses aren’t accepted
@@TristanKuhn Thanks for the reply back Tristan, I wasn't aware of that at all.
