American reacts to 'A Guide to AUSTRALIA' 

This video was made by a Pommie (English), and no we aren't offended, because we have a sense of humour, and Poms and Aussies are always ragging on each other! We can give as good as we get! If you haven't noticed by now Aussies and Poms have a love/hate relationship, we love to put each other down, but when push comes to shove in a fight they would back each other against all oncomers!

You've never seen that because it's Singapore not Sydney.

Check the stats on how many Poms over stay their holiday Visas when visiting Australia and compare it to the number of Aussies who overstay their holiday Visas in the UK. Enough said.

The video you just reacted to was narrated by an Englishman, but it was hilarious but way too short. And the island next to Tasmania is mainland Australia.

3:56 like the Californian gold rush, we too had an influx of Chinese migrants to the gold fields…..until the government shut that down with the White Australia policy….

Yes Starbucks is still in Oz. But they now cater for Tourist and not Australian's. They have not giving up just yet.

I loved the Perth summer clip, that pretty much sums up the heat wave we're going through. Even our trains have to slow down due to the tracks warping 😅 or average temperature for the last 16-20 days has been 104 Fahrenheit.

The first people in Australia walked there across a land bridge joining continents 65,000+ years ago.

Tame Impala is brilliant musician/songwriter - born in Sydney, lives in Perth. "Slide Through My Fingers'" is my ring tone 🙂

The building at 0:53 is Marina Bay Sands, an iconic landmark in SINGAPORE 🇸🇬. It’s the three towers with a surfboard shaped structure across the top.

The earliest Chinese immigrants arrived before the gold rushes, but they arrived in much larger numbers after the discovery of gold. They also started the first Chinese restaurants in Australia, introducing new cuisine and ingredients. Credit where it's due, they gave Australia a craving for new taste experiences.

No, the speaker on the 'A Guide to Australia' youtube is NOT an Australian. He's English.

There was a large influx of Chinese during the Gold Rush, when Australia was still very much under colonial rule. If you didn't have a miner's licence, the the red coats (aka, the police) would beat the living snot out of you if not kill you. If you would like you could check out the Australian movie "The Eureka stockaid" the story of the miners fight for justice

The ship on the building is in Singapore..they captioned it "East Sydney".

OMG the Tasmanian "gene pool" 😂😂 And yes, we've had a Chinese population at least since the 1850s gold rushes, if not before. They're a big part of our cultural & economic life.

A Pom taking the piss out of Australia and he did a bloody good job!

The way the guy said mullet & a few other words, I’d say he’s a pom.

There was a Land bridge from indonresia. The chinese came during the gold rush. Tame Impala is a musician. He sou ds british but I think he's lived here.

For the Americans in the crowd, that's a British accent.. which makes the slander so much worse!

Yes that’s where aboriginals came from. Look it up Ryan there was a land bridge

The building in "East Sydney" is real, it just happens to be in Singapore (The Marina Bay Sands - very cool building). No, Chinese people are not native to Australia; they came out in large numbers during the gold rush. By the way, Australia is still a significant gold producer (third after China and Russia). The guy narrating this video is not Australian - East London, I would say; know wha' I mean? Nah, not offended. We have thick skins down here (needed because of all the sunshine).

Melbourne's weather is all 4 seasons in one days 😂😂

I’m not sure what I just watched! But I’m probably old! As others have mentioned back in the history of time Australia as it’s known today was joined to what are now other countries north of us. No one knows where Aboriginals originate from but it’s theorised they came from the north. The Chinese have been in Australian forever. Part of our economy for just as long. Trying to remember my Australian history learned at school but from memory they weren’t miners but would follow wherever the miners went and provided washing services, food and the like. They’ve always been so much smarter than we are. There’s a large Chinese population in Papua New Guinea so it’s possible they traveled there first. Just guessing. God loves all of Australia which is why it’s perfect! 😊😊

Australia was much closer to New Guinea a few bazillion years ago. Google Sahul as it was called. It was easier for Asian peoples to travel across oceans when they were closer together. I think it’s pretty much fact that our Aborigines are the first inhabitants.

I had to learn about it as part of a course and was taught they got to Australia by out-rigger canoe they believe from the island of Sulawezi, which is part of Indonesia. I never heard anything about them coming here from India, but they would know more now due to DNA.

The British are just put out because they transported convicts to Australia and two hundred years later they were back to beat them at cricket.😂

On the screen a representation of a pre-Aboriginal is walking to Australia before the ice age. During this explanation of the arrival of these people, Ryan states he doesn’t know how they got here. 🤦‍♂️ I want to see Ryan cook Australian meals, I’m guessing he struggles with Instructions.

The Perth Heat is definitely correct. 43° (109.4) the next 2 days then we get a bit of relief at 39°(102) at least is a dry Heat better than that humid shit up north.

It’s true east Sydney looks like that. You don’t know about it probably because tourists aren’t allowed there.

I`ve had 4 stand up fights with Kangaroos 2 Easten greys a western grey and a huge red. I like to think it was a draw, I have the scars to prove it.

The building you’re referring to at 1:00 is the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore

I was thinking it was pretty meh but he won me over immediately when he called Adelaide, Melbourne in Lower resolution 😆

I’ve never seen that building in Sydney either but he got Melbournes weather pretty straight 😂😂😂

With the indigenous coming to Australia, we are not 100% sure but we think that Indians and Africans walked over before the ice age when Australia was connected to Asia/Africa by land and very shallow rivers

When you get here bruh, you die straight away and live the rest of your life not knowing you died.

Tame Impala (a.k.a. Kevin Parker) is one of the biggest psychedelic pop/rock artists to come out of Australia in recent years. He hails from Western Australia. You might know the song "The Less I Know the Better.' ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2SUwOgmvzK4.html en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tame_Impala

We do actually have about 6 Starbucks in Australia, two in Sydney and others in a few different capital cities

We don't get offended, we just enjoy the joke downunder Ryan.!!!!!!

Got weather wrong if no rain after 5 days in Sydney it is a drought ;Sydney avereges 54 inches a year to Melbournes 27 inches

You should watch some Malcolm Douglas , he's an old school Aussie adventurer, there's a lot of aboriginal history in it, cheers mate

Ryan our Aboriginal people have always been here, we the first nations don't go along with the out of Africa theory or any other immigration, we have been since the very beginning

Adelaide - Melbourne in lower resolution 😂 I live in, and like Adelaide, but that's just funny 👍

G'day Mate! The main reason you have not seen that building near the beginning is that it is in Singapore not Sydney! Cheers!

I was born in Adelaide, and PMSL with "Melbourne in low resolution"..... EDIT: And I now live in Canberra, which didn't disappoint either NB: it's from a pommy - they're just jealous of Melbourne's weather which is more predictable than Manchester's

Hey Ryan, how about for an upcoming video, you and your wife make and try an Australian hamburger. For this it goes bun, burger patty, bbq sauce, cheese, a fried egg, lettuce, tomato, pickled beetroot, a pineapple ring and 2 pieces of crispy bacon with the top bun BARELY holding it all together.

The guy doing the video is English, I'm Australian and I had no idea what he was on about.

That was hilarious almost. Aussie person speaking up.

Tame Impala is a rock band known world wide. Good sense of humour.

Australia is a new country ?! That's why we had a stone age culture living here in the 1770s when the first white settlement from Britain began. The first humans on earth lived here on a huge continent known as Lemuria of which Australia was a part. Most of it is now submerged under the South Pacific Ocean. From Australia some the aboriginal people migrated to other places.

I’m not offended but it was crappy and I would never be enticed to watch anymore of that English guys stuff

The red kangaroo bit. I have been intimidated - coming back from the toilet block. Eastern greys (not as big as the big reds) Had to look up at them. After bread I think. Totally intimidating!!!

No Ryan...There were many Chinese amongst those coming to Australia with the hope of finding gold and striking it rich, after the first gold was found near Bathurst (Sofala)N.S.W. in 1851, and ended in 1893 with the last rush in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia...My grandmother was born in tent at Sofala, two years after the 1st rush, the eldest of 13...And no the guy making this was British by the way...

Bro I'm travelling to Armidale this weekend (going more inland) and planning to get there before the roos start roaming is essential. Newcastle to Armidale, 5 hours ish, let's goooo

Don't tell the aboriginals that .they think they are native to Australia

The funny part is, the real criminals were the ones that got back on the boats and sailed back to england. This was made by a pom and was a bit of a giggle. Although, he sounds like one who may have been ejected from a Darwin toad race , when the toads complained about his lack of class.

Ryan, please say GOOD ARVO which is how us Aussies say Good Afternoon

We don’t offend too easily by the British, yeah he’s British 😂

Definitely Adelaide is Melbourne in lower resolution! awesome!

East Sydney was actually Singapore! 😂😂😂

🤘 QUEENSLANDER 🤘

He’s not wrong about Canberra, I live here. It’s an aggressively average city & the food is very expensive & mostly not worth the money. Sydney was great but I’m healthier here because of the air quality

That's funny ... and all of it true. Please forward to England 👍😉

Roos CAN disembowel but usually won’t

Hint...You cannot offend an Aussie.

That was rubbish

All you hear about is Sydney and Melbourne, try Adelaide and Perth

Starbucks is trying their luck again in Australia, pushing coffee capsules for coffee machines

3:30 That's disturbingly close to what Australian students see in reenactments in History class.

When u coming to aus mate, I'm a Ryan also , there is no guide to Australia we just do whatever

We do have Starbucks in Melbs but only tourists go there (a few basic white girls too, but its not popular).

Wow that was a load of shit Ryan

OK there is some truth in this chaos. 60K years ago seas were lower and Indonesia, ,New guinea , Australia were connected, India was a short hop. DNA shows indigenous people came from Indonesia and India. In 1865, 13 years after the start of the gold rush, one third of Australia's population were Chinese and they stayed and it is lucky they did because Australians literally owe their lives to them. The population had increased by 1500% in 10 years and not enough food could be imported or grown. The Chinese set up huge market gardens after they finished mining and that feed Australia. we are friendlier now with Americans depending what their country does, but the historical truth is America has caused Australia more trouble than China ever has. Otherwise this guy is a pom not an OZ and he has no clue, Poms are beset with uncontrolled envy when contemplating Australian life

Tame Impala is/was a band popular in 2000s

Melbourne weather is a Sydney joke that they accept. 3 seasons in a day. Also their beaches completely suck. They are better in other ways

🤣@1:06 I think that's in Singapore. 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

A Chinese population from China.. came out during the gold rush.

Our food is awesome

We always check our shoes ,i do.No kangas as pet ,but you can take care of an orphan

Na he aint aussie but this was gold 😂😂

Hey Ryan Have a look at this Irish Comedian Dave Allen on Australia 🇦🇺 It is hilarious 😂😂

Lol that video was messed up. Put down the crack pipe, buddy. Take a break, maybe a few less energy drinks...

Adelaide is Melbourne "in low resolution" ... 😃😃😃

Seems pretty fair and balanced.

That boat building is in Singapore

Yeah that's true the original aboriginal people WALKED HERE from Indonesia & other Asian nations because there was a land mass known as pangaea & there was no sea between Darwin & Indonesia

Never offended by a pom

Didn’t offend me , but it was a bit silly

Altona, my home town :D

Yes we have Starbucks here

Given that the best evidence is for humans originating in Africa (although *which* part of Africa seems to be up for debate since remains were found in Morocco in 2017 that were dated at around 300k-350k years old), you could ask that about pretty much any group of humans (how did they get there?) and the answer will be "they walked across a land bridge" Except the Polynesians. They're badass navigators and sailors, they decided walking was for suckers and sailed instead!

G'day, I waited 51 weeks for a replacment vehicle. When I drove it home the first day I hat a Kangaroo. Oh what a feeling.

That hotel with the boat on the top is in SINGAPORE.

Ryan! You must check out some of our better (?) advertisements. Jan & the Yellow Pages A run of AAMI (?) ones with Rhonda & Ketut. “Come on Aussie, come on, come on!” “It’s a big ad. A great big ad”. Classical music to sell beer?!?!? Lara Bingle. (Did not go down well. Nearly ruined the Oz tourist industry.) And less funny but touching & brilliant, Qantas “I still call Australia home”, which you may have already seen.

He sounds like someone who hates Australia.

Tame Impala is an Australian music group.

Check out the song, Come to Australia by the Scared Weird Little Guys

How are you Ryan , curious if you have seen the big lez show ??

Chinese came during the gold rushes

This video is literally a joke, not factual.

Maybe my friends and peers don't represent the vids on Australian vernacular, it's not common to drop the 'c' bomb.
