It moves any snakes on and anything else that bites, burns the trash, leaves and flower spikes. Still done for fallen over canes that harvesting machines cannot cut, not much done anymore, now men don't need to cut down canefields with a cane-knife. Back breaking work..
Cane fires started as a way of preventing cutters getting Leptospirosis during harvest. With the advent of mechanical harvesting, it became unnecessary and today very few farmers still burn before harvest. The practice was dangerous and many have died getting caught in the fire break when wind direction suddenly changed. It had nothing to do with making harvesting cheaper and easier and everything to do with saving lives. Contracting leptospirosis , especially in the early days, was often fatal.
Came to that conclusion myself. Having lost our house and everything in it, in a big bushfire in 05, that looks nothing like a wildfire (or bushfire) in natural scrub.
The amount of Milo in the glass was about right 😃. I eat it dry most of the time. It's the most delicious malt and cocoa ever!! However, if you are going to eat it dry, be careful not to choke! Have liquid nearby, do not have a dry mouth, have a drink before you eat it, do not breathe in while putting a spoonful in your mouth and do not open your mouth while you are eating it.
It's pronounced My-Lo, and yes that is exactly how it's meant to be drunk. And the kangaroos are that big because they eat vegimite on their toast every morning
I've noticed the soul of my shoes overseas gets black and it never does in Australia. We must have cleaner foothpaths and roads. I would never ever go barefoot overseas like I sometimes do here
Being barefoot is healthy for us. Just think about it... not that long ago we were all barefoot. Google the benefits compared to wearing shoes! You'll all see. The only place we won't get service barefoot is a bar or bottle shop.
It’s enraging I agree. I’ve seen videos on twitter of Roos, emu farms and even a caged kookaburra was for sale in the States. I always question why and ask how they got there. Most Americans think it’s ‘cute’ and don’t understand why I don’t agree with it. It’s awful.
@@EllzaBelllza If you were educated you will know the list above are Australian animals.It's sad people around the world 'I Want' mentality for exotic animals as pets.The video didn't show a tiger, don't be hypocritical
@@EllzaBelllza I hope there's not Tigers in "cages" in Australia. Our zoos are very high standard and animal welfare is paramount so any captive animal is in a designer built sanctuary roomy and replicating their natural habitat. Not in someone's living room.
That's Melbourne or rural NSW talk if I ever heard it mate. Not stirring the beverage and opting for milk and dry powder is to be quite frank PREPOSTEROUS.
You stir the Milo and it turns into wet soggy delicious Milo mud, you eat it off the top and then scoop more in, stir it, eat the Milo mud , repeat, repeat, repeat
MY-LO - it doesn't really dissolve so you have chocolatey malty crunchy milk. As long as your mum isn't watching (who thinks 1 teaspoon is enough) you go all out with milo. Find it in the US and put a shit ton on vanilla icecream. Your life will be forever changed.
Oh yeah love it on icecream. Try it with a banana, each bite you press the end of the banana hard into Milo powder to pack it on... crunchy choc banana yum😋
Very few schools in Australia have “running tracks” so their “athletics” day will be on the sports oval (oval so they can play Aussie Rules) and they draw the lines for sprints and 400m/800m events etc on the grass. :)
So, just a note. I know americans refer to small vehicles with an tray or covered box at the rear as a "Truck" however in Australia a Truck specifically refers to a heavy vehicle, that the british refer to as a Lorry, usually 2.5m Wide and carrying over ten tonnes. What americans refer to as "Trucks" are called, in Australia and New Zealand, "Utes" which is short for "Utility Vehicles" and considered mostly to be cars, primarily because they are a variation of the front of a car with a rear made for carrying cargo instead of passengers.
Well, @@Irena688, I know that there is a divergent language reason for that because historically a "Truck" is an open box on wheels i.e Trolley, which were originally pulled by people, animals or locomotive engines along rail tracks. That's primarily why the americans refer to "utes" as "trucks". So it's Potay toe, Po tah toe ;D as always, when discussing American English vs Commonwealth English. The historical sources of the English Language is always fun to think about and discuss, to me.
The Ute was designed to be used as a work vehicle during the week and for the family to go to church on a Sunday, although Aussies aren’t as keen to go to church these days, we are more irreverent.
The only animals which have attacked me whilst in Australia were a male emu, while with his chicks (while I was hiking the karri forests of WA); and my oldest, twin grandsons, when I accidentally dropped in on them when were surfing Coolum Beach. Roos have nothing on angry groms!! 🙄
The birds are Golden Laced Plovers. They have spurs on their wings and divebomb / swoop you (similar to maggies "magpies") trying to get their spurs into your head. They're relentless if you walk near their nest.
They are scary, I was once terrorized while waiting to catch my bus to high school😂😂 they kept dive bombing me and my friend. Unlike maggie's they will dive bomb you when you're looking. 😂😂 Nasty birds😊
Also, They love nesting in open flat spaces like yards, parks and school fields so they’re constantly showing up in very populated places. AND, on top of all that hell, they’re a protected species so it’s illegal to disturb one of their nests or to injure or kill one. Plovers SUCK
I had a newborn bluetongue in my garden, too young to hiss just opened its mouth and stuck out the tongue. Also had some adults but they like to cross roads sometimes not a good idea for a long life
When the fire gets that close, you must "stay and defend" as it is not safe to leave. I came close to that recently but got out in time with just my purse, phone, water bottle and cat.
Roo is a very dark red meat that cooks really dark. Those steaks were beef or lamb🥩 The dog chasing the roo will get lost if he is so intent on the chase that he can’t stop to wee and leave his trail back home. If you have Blue Tongue Lizards around your home, you won’t have snakes.🦎
maybe not outside the house, i had a blue tongue poke its head out from under deck by the back door, the 1.5m brown snake moved into the back room so i had a house snake for a few days.
@@dnoordink Hi👋🏻apparently the lizards eat the eggs and young. I did have over a dozen who would come in Summer to have Ticks taken from their ear holes and no snakes. That’s why I got Blue Tongues for the Farm. To keep the snakes away from the house and pool.
It's ' my low' and YES I always have at least that much of it in my glass - especially since they changed the formula (about 5 years ago) to make it less chocolatey! People like to 'eat' it with a little bit of milk. Maybe not all people though.
For the fire situation they normally let you know the fire is heading your way. You have the option at that point to stay or leave. If you choose to stay you probably wouldnt have much option to go anywhere anyway. Their perimiter is probably dug out or cleared of all debree for a fire break
The grass where the kangaroo was being chased looks like a school oval or suburban oval set up for a sports carnival. (Oval - big grassed area, usually oval shaped, used for sports like cricket and footy but also just for running around having fun. Most suburbs have at least one.)
Australia used to have megafauna the roo's were 10x larger than this, plovers have a spur on their leg they swoop like magpies bur when they hit the venom will cause you intermittent pain for decades.
Blue tongue lizards are gorgeous. I have several that live under my bushes. Never had one in the house. They get stressed very easily will hiss at you and there tongue goes a darker blue.
It’s called My Lo. And we do put that much in the glass because it’s so good. It’s like a crunchy chocolate drink. We eat the Milo off the top with a spoon and then drink the chocolate milk. It’s a whole different experience from just Nesquik.
Yes the protection is what always protects Aussies, "she'll be right mate" attitude. Grass tracks are a thing here, check out the famous and historic Stawell Gift race held at Easter each year in Stawell in country Victoria. Plovers/Masked Lapwings do have spurs on their wings, you don't won't one of those in your eyeball. Those chips, looked like they were going to be real tasty!!
Barefoot can depend where and when, today in queensland its like 40 degrees and high as humidity the ground is scorching hot 🔥🔥🔥 and the milo ratio is looking good 😂😂
During the 2019 fires my daughter told me not to worry because her father in law had a water cannon on the roof (aka glorified spinkler) 🤣🤣. I wasn't laughing at the time obviously
A water cannon mmm sprinklers would be better they cover the whole roof. I would have put the sprinklers on and left. No way would I stay . A couple of months ago. bushfires blocked two of the three roads out of the area. The bushfires were about 2kms away, when I got the notice to prepare to leave. 🦘🦘🦘
Every Australian is shouting MILO, pronounced MY-LOW , and yes you do put that much in a glass, it’s crunchy compared to say nestle quick which disolves much faster . I live in the suburbs and we have parks down the road and we see so many kangaroos and it’s just glorious . Ryan you and your family need to visit
Milo, is not meelo, you can do milo however you like. It's nothing like vegemite. A lot of folk eat wet milo out of the top of the glass with a spoon. Add more and keep going. No need to vigorously try mixing it all in. The milk will become very rich with the choclate anyway, so drink it when you are done with the dry stuff. Just keep a clean spoon in the milo. If it gets damp, wet weather can do that, it will turn into one hard lump, then you cut it into chunks and eat it like toffee. It's unique stuff. Good sprinkled over vanilla ice-cream too. The current owner of the brand, Nestle, is marketing it as a healthy sports drink. Blue tongues hang out in gardens, they love to hide under leaf piles. Can often be mistaken for snakes. Wide heads, but short scaley bodies. when feeling threatened, will open their mouths, bright blue, and hiss at you. Another creature to leave alone, they don't harm us, just keep the vermin under control. The biggest roos are big male reds, but all males can be huge, not bad for herbivores, just like bulls and cows. Red roos are just a larger species. Joeys once out of the pouch, will play fight each other for fun. The older males get serious over the females, so they end up larger. You said wow, he's 6 foot, he's longer if you measure his tail too. Smaller species like potaroos, walleroos, wallabies, the rock wallaby and pademelons are no threat, just cute. Plovers are smaller than ducks, pointy beaks and lovers of beach areas. They can be vicious. Stay away and rhey'll leave you alone. If that guy was really scared, he wouldn't have opened the door next to them.
I always go with 7 spoonfuls of milo or half and half depending on the size of the glass. Always buy in 1kg tins.. you don't want to run out. Also, milo and ice-cream saved me when I was in hospital last year. One of the only things I could eat 😋😋😋
My son is 6”7. He has a Mob of Kangaroos that cruise in and out of his life. The only time he had a problem was when visitors showed up unannounced. He had to do a Reverse Brave Heart. The Kangaroos understand him. They went back to chilling and the visitors learnt to ring ahead! 😂
Kangaroos use their tail like another leg when they walk. When they are hopping fast (their version of running) they lift the tail and use it to balance.
I had the same view outside my kitchen window as the fire video just a few years ago. Prescribed burn off. Quite safe. Would've had fire breaks and fire fighters monitoring it.
The Milo iIS the meal/desert/drink. The milk is only there to break it up and wash it down. Milk also tastes better than water to do this job. If you spoon dry Milo straight into the mouth you risk coughing or sneezing OR... Coughing and sneezing and farting...which is eye wateringly painful and embarrassing but also bloody spectscular!
Bluetonge lizards are gentle and friendly, and they love eating fruit. It's moving that way because the floor is slippery and it can't grab onto it. Most homes in Qld have a resicent bluey. And it's MY-low, not MEE-low. The fire was almost certainly a cane fire. They are rare these days, bit it still happens in some places. I used to live across the road from a cane field in the days when they still burned them before harvest. Spectacular flames, but wild animals would get hurt or burn to death. "Plovers" is what many people call them, but they aren't plovers at all. They are masked lapwings. And while they swoop and try to defend their babies, they rarely hit you and the spurs on their wings are soft and rubbery.
MY-lo !!!!!!!- The more the bettef. Not like chocoate milk powder at all. The crunchy stuff is the best. And someone elsd sid thats probably a sugar cane field fire. They set fire to the drop just before harvest burns all the cane leves fallen tesh and gets rid of rats snakes toads etc leaving a clean field to harvets. Except its sooty and filthy but clear of rubbish and animals. Not a danger to that house.
those aren't ducks they are spur winged plovers. look up a picture. blue tongue lizards are cute he couldn't get any traction on the wooden floor because they're little fatty's with stumpy legs.
That fire looks like everyday life. Probably a cane field, but we do it in South Australia as well on grain fields to kill off the white italian snail from the stubble. Much better than trying to use chemicals. You know there is a fire unit out there for burn-off, carrots continue!!
Milo is pronounced (my-low) and yes that is about the normal amount to have in the glass or cup. The first video is not Australian, they sound like American accents to me, the only thing Australian in it is the Kangaroo. Those are Masked lapwing Plovers which are known to nest on the ground in wide open areas, like parks and even footy fields are fair game, watching rugby players going for a try, whilst being dive-bombed is hilarious. Unlike its native counterpart, the Magpie, who nests in trees, only the male will attack, whilst with Plovers both male and female will attack during nesting season.
Here's a tip. Don't be afraid. If you're afraid you'll probably panic. If you panic you'll probably do something stupid. If you do something stupid you'll probably die.
there not serving it there cleaning out where the chips (fries) sit after there cooked where there salted and served from though that looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a few days
