I've been to an Outback Steakhouse. On the menu they had 'Kookaburra Wings' (actually chicken, and clearly spelled out in the description)... That didn't stop me from taking one bite and loudly proclaiming "This is not Kookaburra!" to the waitstaff.
😂😂😂
In 2001 I went to an Outback in St Louis, the waitress tried to tell me Toowoomba was a bird and the bloomin onion was a traditional Australian delicacy.
😦 What?!?
Sim Crawford mate that's definitely doesn't even make sense Toowoomba is a town in Queensland not even a bird that waitress in 22 years ago in outback restaurant in America 🇺🇸 altogether there is very very extremely wrong what she told you that mate and even bloomin is a censored for swearing 🤬 mate like bloomin hell mate because I known that for a fact because I used to hear my English born citizen nan my mum mum used to say that bloomin word all the time ever ever since I was a little boy in Australia 🇦🇺 here mate i have been a born Aussie in 38 years that waitress needs too be educated about Australian culture mate
🤦🏻
@@cameronheidelauf9623 I was born in Melbourne, usually come back after various stints in the US, UK, Ireland, Spain and Germany and I know what Toowoomba is, that's what made it funny. She was deadset trying to 'educate' me about Australia but completely missed the accent that should have suggested I am, in fact, Australian.
@@Sim.Crawford lol I lived in Toowoomba for 40 years!
We had a cold streak last week, it went from 40 degrees Celsius to snowing in the Alps in one day, 2 cold days and back to 35 the next
I saw a television show that mentioned a sweet spot between the coast and the snowfields where you can drive west to ski in winter and east to surf in summer. Also, if you felt energetic during winter, you could get up early and surf in the morning then snow ski in the afternoon. Can't remember the name of it unfortunately.
@@chookinathunderstorm3446 that's basically victoria and southern nsw only
@@chookinathunderstorm3446THRESHER!
Geoengineering mate.
The cops..."I don't need a gun. I've got a Donk." 🤣
Officer Hightower.
Truly an underrated comment
that was hilarious reference to Crocodile Dundee...
My mum was only 4’10” and the problems she encountered in daily life were unfortunately more than not being able to reach things (she got really good at climbing supermarket shelves) her biggest problems were being overlooked (literally and figuratively), people talking down to her (again, literally and figuratively), people not taking her seriously, and people taking advantage of her because she looked like an easy target. And finding kids shoes that didn’t look like kids shoes…
That is absolutely true, even among family members too.
Right there with your mum. I hold out my hands if I'm behind tall people. I've had short men bend down with hands on their knees to talk to me....the next one who does it will get it back. And reaching high stuff is not gonna happen if the item is too far back, I know how flimsy those supermarket shelves are!
Give her a green lightsaber and many problems might vanish :P
At least she could climb up things. Being a wheelchair user, you're short and can't climb.
@@leglessinoz That may be true for most people in wheelchairs, but many of the tallest people to ever walk the earth have also ended up in wheelchairs (or in the case of 8 ft 9.5 in (268.0 cm) John Rogan, a cart). Granted, their long arms would still reach the top shelf...
Those officers.... Adds new meaning to being head and shoulders over someone 🤣
There was a lady cop worked in Cooktown years ago and she was well over 6 foot tall. She was a gem.
That rainbow lattice sunstone from the NT is absolutely stunning! I was a keen gem collector when I was a young boy growing up in the Goldfields (WA) and I can tell you if I had found anything as beautiful as this, it would have gone "straight to the pool room" (quote from the Aussie film "the Castle").
Don't it's a scam
@@robshannon6637 Yes, Rob, I know. I get these all the time on may channels but I ignore them. But thanks for warning me.
I lived in Tassie & often saw roo's in the snow, usually at night when I was travelling over some high ground.
That's a scam please report it
Those cliffs, the Bunda Cliffs, where the Nullarbor meets the Southern Ocean are 210 km (130 miles) long and 80 metres (262 ft) high. If you ever get to South Australia they are well worth going to have a look at.
Loved the Nullarbor road trip to WA
@@omaopa6923 yeah , been that path myself and absolutely loved it , road trip rocks , camping over night in the rest areas = super cool :) .
I’m 5’1 and some of the daily annoyances are my feet not reaching the floor in regular seats (including driving the car and the loo) this has led to hip and spine issues, I drive with cushions behind my back to both see over the windscreen and reach the pedals, not being able to properly use high shelves, due to being rural I used to have to buy clothing from the kids selection (pre-online shopping), people that I’m with walk faster then me.
People treat shorter people differently- people invade shorter peoples space more often, they lean over you, stand closer and touch/hug you more often and I’ve had strangers literally walk up to me and hug me (people are more wary of tall people the opposite occurs when someone is short). It’s common for people to underestimate a short person’s capabilities and there can be issues with people taking you seriously.
Theres lots more but I’ve written a book already 😂. I feel sorry for people who are smaller then me. I live in Tasmania its easy to see kangaroos and wallabies in the snow, poor buggers suffer every winter.
If you are a man I feel for you, if you are a woman at that height, everyone treats you sweetly, if you are a tall woman you will never be helped by anyone except sweet old ladies, even if you fall over, and they say tall men get the best jobs and pays... I guess everyone would prefer to be mainly in the average..
Some extra points: Opalised dinosaur bones have been found here also.
The actual area burned during the 2019 Australian Black Summer Bushfires was equal to the entire area of the British Isles plus. If you'd like to see the enormity and ferociousness of the quick, direction switching flames, as high as the Sydney Opera House, there are many youtube vids and a couple of documentaries under that title.
Great video Ian. Congratulations on the new family member also mate 👍
Agreed, Ian, crocodiles species ARE contemporaries of dinosaurs. Or rather, older than many dinosaurs. So, when you categorize them as dinosaurs, you're not far off.
Sure, they adapted to some changes but their basic DNA is still the same, and their phenotype still mostly identical or very similar to their ancient ancestors.
I used to llive near the Namoi River and I swam in it quite often. Before the cotton farmers ruined the river it was clear water to the bottom and flowed slowly. It was marvellous. These days it is full of cotton poisons, sometimes runs both ways into cotton farmers pumps, occasionally it dries up completely.
Ian I love your interest and passion for all things Australian. I came here from UK in 1986 and I have travelled more than most Australians to the remotest parts... it has such special freaky dangerous animals creatures and yes it is certainly damn hot ... with occasional Snow in only a couple of high areas Snowy Mountains hence the name !
Roo in the snow, you bet.
When a decent storm hits and we get snow around Jindabyne and Cooma, they're everywhere.
As an Aussie, it’s so awesome to hear your enthusiasm ❤🇦🇺 thank you, it means a lot
$31.00 for a pack of 20’s
The video of the Namoi River I am pretty sure was taken where I live. Our major river was empty with grass going for months however at the end of last year it flooded and inundated homes 5 time in 2 months. That's the craziness of rural Australia
That is a scam
Hi mate, those amazing sea cliffs at about 7:45 is where Antarctica broke off from Australia about 80 million years ago... literally. Before then you could just keep walking south because it was all one big landmass called Gondwana.
That's a scam please report it.
I feel sorry for that 6'9 officer he must have a lot of headaches
A lot of head.
@@viktoriyaserebryakov2755 AYO 🤨
He's standing right next to one !
@@308V8HZ the door or the female officer?
You wouldn't want to argue with the bugger.
What makes the roos in the snow even more crazy is it's Summer here atm
Lol I live in Western Australia, I've never seen or touched snow, period! But you're right, it is rare to see 'roos hopping around in fields of snow on media.
My best friends husband is 6' 7, and the problems are endless / he's got to watch he doesn't cut his head off when entering my house if my lounge room ceiling fan is on / ducking into a door / being this tall is extra expensive - he just paid $6500 for a specially made extra length king size bed, where the sheets sets are costing them $450 per set. His shoes are size 17, so extra expense buying from overseas, clothing in his size's is extra expensive, and he has to either drive up to Perth, or shop online. He has split his head open several times on shower heads. Is now paying for a weekly chiropractor because our spines aren't designed to be that tall, so he lives in pain with back, hip, knee and ankle issues. Great friend to have around when it's time to change the 15 down lights in my open living area, and when my split system air con filters need a clean. Saves me up n down the ladder for an hour or so lol
Growing up in the Snowy Mountains and now living in Canberra, seeing kangaroos in the snow is a regular occurrence in winter.
I'm tipping it's the female officer you don't argue with out of the two though!
yeh ausse girl cops are built different lol
This trivia is out on the road all the way out to my mums, which is an 11hr drive from Brisbane, and just takes you to approx centre of Queensland, lol
I lived in the Snowy Mountains on a 100 acre property. Kangaroos in the snow were quite common, perhaps not in the depths of winter but certainly in snowy periods. In fact I have never experienced so many wild kangaroos in my life as I had living down near Kosciousko, and I grew up in the Central West of New South Wales.
that pack of smokes would be about $50
I share my land with 50-60 roos. The reason I've never run any over may be because I never use high beams around them, and detect if they're stressed by watching their behaviour. A roo with its ears back can jump in any direction at any time, so slow right down. Their ears go back when it snows and they stay back until it melts away. I don't think it's the cold that stresses them when they're happy to stand out in the frost. I reckon the roos hate snow because they can't get to the grass.
I plough through the kunts
Yes I grew up in orange Australia and it's proper cold there in winter. The Roo's have long hair there.
@IWrocker, surprisingly, Bloomin Onions is not really a dish in Australia. Well, it's rare to find a restaurant that serves "bloomin' onions". And I agree with you, it would be better to have a restaurant that has Australian food and is Australian themed. Yet, barring the occasional dish, made using Australian natural ingredients, we don't really have our own cuisine. Even in Australia, it is rare to find restaurants or ingredients that are native to Australia.
FACT: Broccolini was developed in Australia, and Finger Limes are native to Australia. 😊
My kids called our finger lime bush the sausage tree.
How dare you….my husband would fight you for an Australian pie 😂
@@pommiebears is your comment directed at me? I love Australian meat pies, but did you know the meat pie is not an Australian invention as such, nor an exclusive Australian cuisine? The British brought the concept of pastry filled with meat to our country. Our meat pies are just a variation of Cottage Pies, which are meat in pastry with either pastry lid or topped with mashed potato, and the Shepherd's Pie, which is pastry filled with lamb and topped with mashed potato which comes from Ireland. All are delicious I almost live on pies! And no, i don't mean the Aussie Rules team! LOL 😂😂
Ive been to restaurants that cook Kangaroos, Wallaby's and Crocs. I don't think anyone else cooks them outside Australia so I think they are classed as Aussie cuisine. It may not be the same as you're talking about, however at least Roos and Wallaby's are Aussie cuisine, maybe other places eat Crocs as well I'm not sure. I liked Croc meat, as the saying goes, " It tastes like chicken" 😂 It really does lol. I don't like Roo, it's very rich and I can't bring myself to try Wallaby 🥺 they are too cute but that's because I live in the bush and feed them on my land so it would be like eating a pet 😝 😄 Cheers 🍻
@@Skippy03 croc is delicious 😋
I am old Australian and I love your enthusiasm.. I hope your sanity is our future xx
Great show this time. Well, they all are great, but this one was super great!
Haha! Nice and amazing facts in this video, but on that last one, the map with temperature being hottest in Australia I have to correct you mate, on the map you displayed there which shows current temperatures and it is daytime in Australia which means it is evening/nighttime/early morning in Africa and South America. It may very well be that Australia is the hottest continent but it’s not a very good way of showing it by using that type of map, you’d need a world map with seasonal temperature averages to show the true comparison. Great work overall though 😊👍
Those trivia signs are on the Cunningham Highway between Brisbane, Warwick, Inglewood and Goondiwindi on the Queensland/NSW border. Makes you laugh when you first see them but then you start playing and it's fun.
They are also on the way to Hervey Bay from Brisbane. They have changed the questions a couple of times over the years.
@@chrmnlp4413 all the way up the Bruce Highway actually. And there is one on the way out to Emerald from Rockhampton as well. I would wager there are a few more scattered about as well.
The map showing Australia hot you have realise is our summer while the northern hemisphere is winter. Also Tassie is still ok. 😜
I've flown along those cliffs in the Great Australian Bight in an Airforce Caribou aircraft. One of the great experiences of my life. The desert stops and the Southern Ocean starts. With 300 foot cliffs to mark the spot. Just awesome.
Thanks Man. I Live here and hadn't seen some of that stuff. I've seen kangaroos in the snow tho. A shame you didn't cover of the Crocs that come in on the Beach up North- that spun me out.
Rainbow lattice sunstone is a form of orthoclase and comes in a variety of forms. Its formed when mica also forms inn amongst the lattice of the orthoclase. Long distance roads also have rumble strips across the road to vibrate loud noise in the car cabin....to ensure yoou dont fall asleep. Coping mechanisms for living here are as diverse as the country itself.
Ian, a F1 car did a flying lap around Bathurst just days ago and would love you to do a video of it. Sounds Amazing!!
That was so interesting, thanks Ian. The Australian bushfires of 2019-20 added to global warming and the thinning of the mid-latitude ozone layer. The smoke travelled all around the world and severely affected crops and weather conditions in several countries. Daily smokers are around 11% of the population. The National Tobacco Campaign was launched to reduce smoking in and therefore its associated health issues. Banning advertising, adding hefty taxes, plain paper packaging with warnings and graphic images, tobacco products locked away not on display at shops, bans on workplace, transport, etc smoking, Quit helplines and support groups, subsidised patches, education campaigns in media and schools, etc. The trend in smokers was steadily going down until recently for all demographics, except teen girls who were being targeted through social media, with new forms being introduced or others becoming popular - e-cigarettes, shishas etc.
Might just be my favorite posts of yours Mate.
I remember a time when there was a height requirement in the Australian police force.
Yes. In about 1970 my husband applied to join the police. At 5 feet 10 inches he wasn't quite tall enough.
If i understood that other post of yours correctly, Congrats on the new addition to your family🎉
Scam please report this
@@robshannon6637 already done. That said as a bunch of smart people Google employees sure don't seem to be all that competent for the little things.
As an Aussie, I'm looking backwards on that heat map and seeing how cold it is in Minneapolis. I met a lady from Colorado today who said it sometimes snows during 4th of July fireworks. The US must be really cold sometimes
This scammer needs to be reported.
I live in south Queensland and it’s so dry here atm. We’ve had 38-40 degrees with no rain for a long time now. Hopefully the cyclone developing over the Solomon Islands brings us rain. Love your work wroker
you must be out west, it's been pissing down on and off in the south east Qld.
Meanwhile it snowed is NSW last week. WTF?
What is even weirder than kangaroo hopping in the snow, is that it’s snowing in Australia in SUMMER
Also to put it into context the Queensland floods some years back covered the same area as France and Germany combined, so pretty big and a lot of water.
That's a scammer please report it
Lived from Macedon Ranges to Mount Hotham definitely seen a few roos covered in snow....
Awesome one Ian 👍🇦🇺
Oh wow haha I live in Scone!! The video with Chris Hemsworth.. what a small world. Scone is the horse capital of Australia. Just a little FYI. small town of 6 thousand people 😆
Yeah, I've driven across the Nullarbor a few times, and it's never fun
The Great Australian Bight is an awesome thing to see, them Cliffs are massive and just beautiful to see in person
That's a scam please report it
For the Americans (and other countries) that are shocked Australia gets snow at all; we got snow last week in Victoria - and it’s currently the middle of summer!
Im wondering if we are gonna have seasons anymore or if it will just be crazy weather whenever
Got snow up in the great western tiers here in Tasmania last night
@@peterlyall6789 ahhh I want to move to Tassie so bad
lol i was stationed at Cairns station and I know both of those Officers, he used to walk sidways down the hall or smash his head on the frames lol, the young lady has left now and has a very successful real estate business ) - amazing this photo has travelled thais far lol
Only the south-east and south-west corners have a temperate climate and moderately fertile soil. The northern part of the country has a tropical climate, varying between grasslands and desert. There are plenty of places to enjoy snow in Australia - some of the major destinations include the peaks of the Australian Alps like Perisher, Thredbo, Charlotte Pass, Mt Hotham, Falls Creek, Mt Buller, Selwyn, and Mt Baw Baw
Snow is not just limited to the SE of Australia. Obviously some places get more snow than others, e.g. the Australian "Alps", but you CAN get snow in every state in Australia, including NT if you count a rare snow shower on Uluru. I suggest you spend a winter on the Granite belt in Queensland, the ACT, or in the central or northern tablelands in NSW where snow is a regular winter phenomenon. Snow also falls on the Stirling ranges in WA and on the Flinders rangers in SA from time to time.
@@optimusmaximus9646 yes in armidale NSW on a rare occasion
Altitude is key to having snow in Australia. Even as far south as Hobart, snow on the ground is fairly uncommon. Unless you're on top of Mount Wellington. Same here in WA, you'll only really get it at Bluff Knoll, which has a 1000 metre altitude
Luv ya from rural NSW Australia 🇦🇺
Those roos are all going "oh shit, cold feet, cold feet, cold feet..."
But seriously, there are plenty of alpine roos that live in snow.
Iain, are you wearing a smokey the bear cap? I used to watch that on tv here in Oz when I was a kid - "remember kids, only you can prevent bush fires" lol.
Hardly anyone smokes here anymore. Which is great. The problem is when you go to places where people still smoke a lot - like most of asia - you get easily nauseated by the cigarette smoke. Decades ago when I was in the army I remember going into a room where half my platoon were sitting around waiting for something and you literally couldnt see the other side of the room because of the cigarette smoke. That just wouldnt happen today.
I noticed the hat as well. We must be the same age as I too remenber The smokey Bear Show on TV when I was kid.
"Imagine having eyes on ur elbows"🤣🤣🤣
I had a couple of really tall great uncles.
They had to duck to go through door ways so they didn't hit their head.
They had to have special raised seats fitted in their Holden cars.
I remember riding on their shoulders when I was 3 years old. It felt I could reach up & touch the moon because I was so high up.
Saw kangaroos in frost/snow in Canberra. 6'9" and his ears are level with the top of the door frame. Eyes on your elbows is different to keeping your eyes on your fries.
I`m not really in a snowy area , so i dont remember ever seeing roos in the snow , but i have seen plenty of times a mass of kangas in some areas , my mate lives in country victoria , and across the road from him in a paddock , often there is 40 or 50 roos( he calls them a nuisance) ,
I used drive trucks for a living , , one occasion i was north bound heading out of melbourne and there was about 40 kangas all lined up just slightly off the tar of the road/highway like they where getting ready for an event :) , i was thinking if one goes , they will all go , and it will be messy , fortunately these ones had some road sense .
i live about 20 ks out from melb city , and we have in our suburb what the local council/shire calls a reserve , basically its just a really big paddock they no longer have to mow between the housing estates with a walking path up either side of it running from one road to the other , and as rule there is 12 to 15 kangas living in there , it is nice to have this weird wildlife virtually a stones throw away , i`ve probably seen them thousands of times when passing over the 20 plus years ive been there , but , i still get a kick out of pulling up now and again an watching them if they are not lazing around in the long grass ..
Scammer!
Yeah - snowing on the roos - and it midsummer! :O
I'm shortish, and I'm so glad every time I fly. 🙂
"Daily smoking rates in Australia are around the lowest among Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries - 11.2% for Australians aged 15 and over in 2019 (AIHW 2020, Table 2.7) 16.1% in 2021 (or nearest year) for OECD countries (OECD 2022)."
Outback Steakhouse is as Australian as mom, hot dogs, and apple pie.
"have you seen roos in snow before"? Dude I haven't even seen snow before being from WA 😂
In the 2019-2020 (September 2019 to March 2020) aka Black Summer, 24.3 million hectares were burnt, 3,000 buildings including 2,779 homes were destroyed, 34 people lost their lives & an estimate of 3 billion animals were killed. Yes 3 BILLION animals were killed. I live in Windsor NSW, about 2hrs north/west of Sydney & we were packed & ready to go if needed. Thank fully we did. It still makes me sick in the stomach when I think about it.
The land drop off into the sea just before 8mins in:
That used to be underwater millions of years ago. When the poles were melted, that was an inland sea that went all the way to Uluru. In fact, it formed Uluru because it's made from harder rock than the surrounding area, and the water washed the softer earth and rock away, leaving Uluru poking out when the sea disappeared from when the poles started to freeze over year round and locked up enough water for the sea level to go down until the inland sea disappeared.
love the weather map.. that was an eye opener for me
You can close your eyes again it is obviously wrong.
@@aussiebloke4601 how do you know when that map was taken.?.
@@jc-qd6be it doesn't matter when, it is never hot in the snowy but the the map shows no cooler areas also very rare for all the rest of the country to be hot at the same time. Its just another global warming scam map.
@@aussiebloke4601 fair enough.. shame though , I was gonna look it up.. cheers.
Hi Ian, If you get a chance to grab a screen shot of the US in a heat wave with Oz in the middle of Winter it would be great if you could compare it to that photo one day. Thanks.
Ps - We have Chips and Hot Chips to differentiate them. lol
That's a scam
There's an opal store in Sydney which displays a complete dinosaur fossil which is opalizing. It's really cool so see how the fossils become opals
Great video and great slelction. When I was a teenager I wanted to join the police. Problem was that I was 5'8" and 5'9" was the minimum height allowed. Another police force allowed 5'8" as the minimum. Years later I joined the ambulance. Technically they had no height restrictions, but you had to be able tobe tall enough to grab the handle of the pull down rear door during the physical functional aptitude test. How times with policing have changed.
The chips thing... they are all fried potatoes, or oven baked sometimes. But seriously the first is a bag of chips, the second is hot chips. Hot chips are thicker than french fries, and come wrapped in white paper, (the next day or hours later, they are cold chips) my big sister used to rip one end open and wander around eating them, not silly enough to go home with it, where 9 people lived at the time(parents and 7 siblings ending up with 8 after 2 married sisters had kids). with or without chicken salt, we can put on plain salt, tomato sauce, lemon juice or gravy. Yummo!
I have a friend who lives in Atherton, a little bit south of Cairns - he is 6ft 8in tall (1in shorter than the man in that post) and he drives trucks. He can’t have the air in his truck’s air suspended driver’s seat as he will end up headbutting the roof inside the cab
There's a lot of avid smokers still in Australia. Especially chefs I've found. But still plenty of smokers, a lot of youth too, there's smoking rooms in night clubs that are almost always full most of the night.
Venturing in the hills around Canberra in winter you will often see kangaroos in the snow. As you rightly point out, Ian, It's definitely not your stereotypical Aussie country scene.
hey ian the new lamb advert is up its called unaustralian its a hoot lol
Hi Ian. just ;;had a radio program . collecting for the homeless,,, so I donated A CARDBOARD box... btw. the smaller the dog... the louder the bark.
We had more temperate weather this year. Around 20 degrees/30 degrees. The last 2 days were actually cool in Canberra. But today, hotter!! Still, no 40-degree days like my poor mother from Ireland had to suffer when she came out here about 3 years ago. Four 40 degree days!! Unheard of!! Even I melted!!!
That was a good dive.
🤣😃🤣😃
Those ozzie bush fires changed our evening sky along with particulate dropping, not sure any particulate was visible on snow farther south. I didn't see any noticeable dusting in Auckland
That Namoi river was as Aussies would say "Drier than a wooden box.."
Oh man, the roos are lovin' it! Either that, or they're saying: "Barry! Barry! It's fuckin' cold mate, where's the damn heater, my pouch is frozen stiff!"
Shout out to my home town, Cairns! lmao!
there are a lot of smokers, and the usual pack my wife gets is a 40 pack for $57+AUD (currently that is USD40)
That River Bed looks like my backyard here in Western Vic.
I live in on the Eyre Peninsula South Australia. Last year a wet kangaroo hopped past me in the Main Street. From the beach, past the pub and our foodland(if you know u know :-p)
I've worked in security & sometimes in a team if the least confrontational person goes in to talk to a group of people you need out of a venue it works out much better. I'm a big guy but I'm from a family of church workers & teachers (I've seen fked up violence btw) but I've used it as a tactic & often it works. If people believe you care about their side of a story often they will be on your side & the result is good. I've worked army, pawn shops & clubs, & rarely has shit gotten out of hand. I tribute my old man for it who was a priest :)
That's a scam please report it
I seen roos in snow when I was in the snowy mountains, not seen such big mob so
He's hitting his head on EVERYTHING, and either sleeps uncomfortably or has to have a custom made bed. He also has to pay more when he shops for clothes.
Actually havr seen roos in the snow. I live in the capital and my family is from the saphire coast. Parts of the highway to my h hometown passes through areas that get up to 1500m. These tablelands get snow every year. Everytime there is snow and i am going to visit my family, i see roos in the snow. Maybe 5 to 10 times a year i see it in person
I’ve seen that big Cop in Cairns very often,he’s not hard to miss.
10 years ago I ran errands for an elderly lady. She smoked cigarettes.
A packet of cigarettes at that time cost over $50 at the supermarket.
& A carton of 6 packs cost over $300.
We in Germany had Last Year a Sanddust from a Sandstorm in Australia😳 all Cars and Windows was cowered in a Red dust. That was crazy👍🏼😅
Are you sure the sand dust was from Australia? It could be dust from Africa.
If I remember correctly, parts of central Europe and Scandinavia had sand dust, making the sun shine look orange even at noon around 2018-2019.
I am from Cains, Qld , if your planning on visiting a week is good, get or your adventure parks, beaches are crap, look nice but but Nth NSW best. The ideal trip to campervan parts of coast or outback takes time unless you fly. $55 × 40 cigerettes. One litre of whiskey average $60. Pot is cheaper by far lol Enjoy your shows and Russell C. crack me up also cya Ian
Australia's dangerous animals really need to be put into perspective. Our animals claim very few lives in comparison to our roads. Sadly a young man died recently from an eastern brown snake bite, my sympathies and condolences to his family but it's a rarity due to a fantastic antivenom program which provides fantastic care for those unfortunate enough to be bitten by a snake or spider. I recently got bitten by a spider. It was mildly painful and that was about it. For those of us who work outside a few heavy duty snake bite bandages is always a good thing to carry
THe reason why most Austraians never see snow is that over 66% of Australians live in the greater metropolitan area of Australia's 8 capital cities which are on the coast. To see snow you have to move away from the coast to Inland cities like Stanthorpe (Queensland), Orange, Oberon Lithgow, Bathurst (NSW), Ballarat (Victoria) and Canberra (ACT), to name a few.
My great grandmother was less than 5 feet and my great grandfather was well over 6 foot he was Sargent of police in Williamstown Victoria
Up on the Southern Tablelands N.S.W it can be cold at any time of the year, Here in Goulburn only two hours out of Sydney it's 16 C. Today ( mid summer) We also get High winds and a lot of Rain ( except in Droughts) Goulburn is Quiet, But awesome ! We have Kangaroos in town, ( If you know where to look) Wetlands, My Gray "Eastgrove" ( Frog Hollow) I have a photo of a Kangaroo that took a wrong turn ( crossed the rail line) and ended up at Goulburn Railway station ( we don't say " Railroad" )
Oh come on, we have snow, a few hundred square miles, for a couple of months, some of the greatest ski resorts (in the local area),
ski slopes that rival, well, the other ones nearby, they even call them "The Snowy Mountains".
My guess is they were discovered in the middle of winter and a week after they named them they buggered of back to England.
The world weather map is a snap shot of a point in time. Someone must have gone to a lot of trouble to find this image as the weather it indicates would have only lasted for a day. It is pretty rare to have a situation where the average temperature of the whole country is over say 30 degrees Celsius - there is usually a temperature differential going from west to east and from south to north as pressure systems move across the continent. For example, last week the southern states had a summer "cold snap" and the temperature was a good 15 Celsius degrees below the average while the northern states were experiencing a heat wave. One picture may be worth a thousand words but is can be misleading if it is not properly interpreted.
Being tall myself, it really gets you out of a lot of circumstances
What's even weirder than kangaroos in the snow is that it's FEBUARY, it was 43⁰c where I am in australia that day which is normal for middle of summer. Snow in summer anywhere is not normal
