@@kat_ilming'Its not the heat ,its the humidity' is what people say here. It can add up to maybe 5 degrees to how the temperature feels. Our weather apps all list the humidity and have 2 temperature readings. 'Max temp' and then 'feels like ' because of the humidity.
@kat_ilming From the few times I've stayed in Dubai, it has that dry ' brick wall heat' more like Victoria, SA and WA. The humidity in the wet season of our tropical regions ( NT and Qld) is that dragging, limp rag type. Besides, jet lag makes everything seem heightened, the climate included! You'll readjust soon enough😊
Welcome to the sunny coast! Pro tip always look at real feel on the BOM (weather) app and live accordingly. Hydrate (not just water remember electrolytes) sunscreen is a must.
Aw thank you so much for the tips, they're vital🙏 I had a little surfing day and even though I reapplied loads I ended up with a bit of a burn, went out and bought a rashie as soon as I could 🙈
@kat_ilming you have to reapply or you get burnt fast!! 50 plus waterproof sunscreen is the go. A rashie is a must. We learn slip slop slap as kids. Slip: Put on a shirt or rash guard. Slop: Apply sunscreen. Slap: Wear a hat. The other thing is having a storm box ready. We get wild weather here.
If you like beer, the places to go on The Sunny Coast are Black Flag Brewing, just off the esplanade at Abalooloom (Mooloolaba spelt backwards) on Brisbane Road or their brewery at Coolum Beach. My favourite is 10Toes Brewing either at their brewery on Sugar Rd Maroochydoore, or at Buderim. In brisbane, the best beer, by a long margin, is at Felons.
The official currency of Australia is the Dollaridoo. And, Drop Bears are Real. And, as a former tour guide to K'gari (Fraser Island), Mulgumpin (Moreton Island) & Mingerribah (Nth Stradbroke Island), it is within my authority to Welcome you to Australia. I'm up & back to Sunshine Coast, if you see me at one of the aforementioned drinking establishments, come and say G'day.
Yes, Australia is a modern first world country, so the water from the tap is drinkable everywhere!! We probably have higher standards for drinking water than the US!!
Obviously those spiders are not interested in anything at ground level. So you are safe as long as you can’t fly that high or as long as you are not crazy enough to climb up to get a selfie with the group. This is why Aussies don’t fear most spiders. They are not interested in us unless we invade their space or they get inside rooms and we scare them so they run. You may need to buy an insect/spider catcher gadget so you can easily and safely move a spider trapped inside, to the outdoors. Don’t sweat it.
@coraliemoller3896 that's so good to know! I have a very tall friend who nearly walked face first into a web at the bus stop, luckily I'm short so it's not an issue for me 😄
@@kat_ilming Yeah. Im tallish so that happens to me all the time. It used to freak me out a bit when I was younger but Ive lived in Oz all my life and knowing that all the spiders that spin webs are harmless ,I have just about stopped reacting at all when it happens now. It doesnt even really bother me if a spider in the web I walk into runs across my face because I know its not going to bite me or harm me. 😊
@@kat_ilming drinkable most places onthe coast where its connnected to reticulated treated water. I would say its drinkable 'everywhere'. Out west on the other side of the Great Dividing Range in a lot of places its undrinkable bore water. In parts of Tasmania and North Qld too, its not drinkable due to aging pipes or contamination.
Train fares are currently 50c per ride in Queensland regardless of the distance travelled. Good time to travel the 1300km to Cairns! It was a bribe by our former state government. They lost the election anyway.
50c fares are only for the Translink network and are not for travel travel train to place like Cairns. Translink services are all the ones that use the GoCard, so any public transport from Nambour to Varsity Lakes on the Gold Coast, all buses and tra8ns on the network.,
Love how all the 'Roos are just starring at you like, "who the hell are you?" None of the spiders will hurt you, but walking into a web wrapped around your face isn't fun. Be very careful about snakes though. If you see one just back away. Brown snakes will make you VERY sick if they bite you, and CAN kill you. You probably won't see one but keep your wits about you. They generally like to hide in confined spaces.
a 1hr train trip isnt considered long distance travel here. ur catching a metro train not a country train. A country train you would book a seat for. Aussie money is real money. Those spiders are orb weavers. I like to leave them unless they are in my walkway, they are great at keeping the mozzie population down and it u get the golden orb weaver, his web is gold and glistens in the light, absoluetly beautiful. Spiders are smart, if u break their wb daily, after about a week they will move it.

Ah brilliant! I love it when places have good tap water. I've heard that NYC is great for that, but my number #1 is still Scottish tap water
8:09 you gotta love those Giant Orb-weaver spiders, they're always so damn big and walking into their web is the scariest thing.
Haha for real, they're also just really spiky looking which adds to the fear factor 😂
And look so lovely when the sun is on them just right
@@kat_ilmingI had one for a week on side of my clothes line left it there. It disappeared one day and I realised it was most likely a bird ate it 😂😂😂

Enjoy Australia

Shame you have arrived in Summer when it rains a lot.
The amount of rain was definitely a surprise for me, and to think I didn't pack my rain gear because I just assumed Australia was dry 🤦♀
@kat_ilming dry heat and no rain on the west coast in summer , humid and wet on the east coast often during summer .
Get on the local buy/sell and buy a cheap bicycle
@nickislade5533 that's such a good shout, thank you! It turns out you can borrow bikes for free at the uni which is such a time saver 🙌
I did buy a longboard in an effort to be cool though
Real money?
hahaha I got the phrase from one of my friends, i.e. the money that you're used to, which is Euros for me
