Welcome to Australia Ivain, something you enquired about - Guns - there are app 3.5 million guns in Australia in a population of app 26 million....we however have strict gun laws. The US gun homicide rate is app. 600% higher than Australia so most Australians would rather see an Ebola outbreak than a second Amendment here

Mate, gun's are not a thing your average Australian talks about, we don't live our life around gun's like in the USA, we have too many other things to do here in this beautiful country rather than worry about guns, this is why Australia is a very safe country, actually it's Autumn here not Summer, you have come here at the right time the nights are cool and the days are warm, Summer can be quite hot if you're not used to it with the humidity, don't be afraid to ask anyone for directions or advice, we are friendly and always willing to help.

Growing up in Melbourne then Canberra in the '50s and '60s, dad had his 303 service rifle, double barrel shotgun, .22 rifle, and a genuine samurai sword captured in WW2, all stored in an unlocked wardrobe. None were registered. There's no castle doctrine in Australia. If you can get out of the house then take that option. We don't keep guns because we have home contents insurance.

If you have time, I would recommend taking a train trip to Katoomba in the Blue Mountains just west of Sydney. On the other side of the Sydney Opera House you can take a wonderful walk through the Botanical Gardens. When you travel to New Zealand I recommend speding your time in the South Island & thoroughly recommend a visit to Milford Sound irrespective of the weather. We went on a beautiful sunny day & on another occasion it was raining. On both days the scenery was spectacular.

If you are still in Sydney some ideal things to do (all use public transport). 1. Walk across the Harbour Bridge at Street Level - Free- Then get the train back to Wynyard from Milson's Point Train station (just on other side of bridge). 2. Get a Ferry out to Manly and check out the beach 3. Get the Ferry to Taronga Zoo and check out the animals 4. Get the train to Katoomba in the Blue Mountains (about 2 hours), do either a small bushwalk or go on the scenic world sites 5. Get a train and bus, or just bus to the iconic Bondi Beach, then do the walk along the coastline to Cogee and get the bus back. 6. Get bus or train to Newtown and grab a feed Transport price which would be a maximum of $10 each way EVerything listed to do is free except Taronga Zoo and Scenic World

Australia implemented a nationwide ban on automatic and semiautomatic firearms in 1996 following the Port Arthur massacre, in which 35 people were killed and 23 were wounded by a lone gunman using a semiautomatic rifle. You can have a gun, under strict restrictions. Mainly, as stated, out in the country areas, yes, guns are needed, for a variety of reasons, but definitely not necessary in the City. I'm from Queeensland and having lived in most of the states, I still think Queensland is the best. You must go to the "Whitsunday Island" region and of course "The Great Barrier Reef".

Unless a Sydney resident has a workplace in the Central Business District, they are all living and working in the outer suburbs. Parramatta has a large Asian population and nearby Harris Park has a large Indian population. Cabramatta has Vietnamese and Cambodians. Where you are is the tourist hub which locals avoid unless they catch ferries to and from work. Like Times Square, the Empire State Building or queueing to go on the ferry to see the Statue of Liberty in NYC.

Re guns in Australia, there used to be more guns in general circulation. Some were for going to the bush to hunt rabbits, etc. At the time, Aussies saw themselves as part of the bush culture. After the Port Arthur Massacre in Tasmania, in 1996, the Federal Government set up a gun reform program including a gun buy-back scheme. There still guns around in the cities, mostly in criminal gangs who tend to shoot each other.

Visitors from the US to Sydney or any city in Australia please note It's NOT expensive to get around the cities because there is good, safe, frequent, public transport. And it's pretty cheaply priced imo. (Aside from the airport train which is partly privatised). You can just tap your Bank/credit card or phone. Or buy a preloaded travel card. Sydney has buses, trains, trams and ferries. You can even catch a train to the beautiful blue mountains, 2 hours from Sydney and a must see. I don't understand why I keep seeing comments from Americans talking about expensive taxis and Ubers?? Most of the time you really don't need to use them. Also, Sydney and many cities are very walkable🙂. Lots of gardens and parks, coastal walks and harbour walks. Highly recommend doing a couple of nature walks, if you're able to of course, everyone's mobility or health situation may be different. Some cities have free public transport for the city centre areas. Such as Melbourne, with a free city circle tram. And Brisbane has both a free city circle bus service and a free city hopper ferry service that goes down the river to popular destinations. I think Perth also has a free city bus. Not sure about the capital cities. Sydney no longer has a free city bus but they do cap their daily and weekly travel. So for example tap on an off all day and the most you will pay is $17.80 (Australian) Mon-Thurs and $8.90 Friday-sunday. The weekly cap is $50AUD. Given the exchange rate that's pretty cheap. One other important thing to note is that Australia is NOT hot all year round. And remember that our season are reversed. Your summer is our winter. There is only a small part of Australia - in the tropical north that is warm year round. (Cairns, great barrier reef, Whitsunday Islands etc) The rest of the continent gets all four seasons to varying degrees(literally lol). We DO get winter. It even snows here in 3 states. There's popular ski resorts in both New South wales And Victoria. I've seen so many people from both the UK and US that come here during our winter months are shocked by how cold it was. The wind chill factor here can make it feel several degrees lower rhan what the actual temperature is. Antarctic winds and stuff. Some people are disappointed when they come here duirng our winter... because the water was too cold for swimming, the beaches were windy and cold. So their beachy coastal holiday wasn't what they imagined! If you are someone that wants warmish weather and swimmable water temperature, don't come in june, July or August. You'll also find late autumn (late may) and early spring (early September) will still be chilly in some parts. I know brits who came in early September and found it still a bit cold. It all depends on what type of holiday or vacation you want. If you like winter or skiing or just don't care for beaches then the cooler months might suit you. If you want not too hot not too cold - then early spring is best september-october or early autumn -march and April. But best time for swimming is generally November - feb/march.

You’re a bit confused about guns in Australia. Semi-automatics and rifles were banned and called in after a mass shooting. You can get a licence for non-banned firearms, after rigid checks and a time delay, as long as you have a legitimate reason for it. There are about 3 million guns in Australia currently, although far fewer owners. You’re also a bit confused about kangaroos. Our First Nations' peoples have been eating kangaroo meat for over 60,000 years, so we didn’t start eating them because they were pests. Kangaroos are a pest in some areas, but the majority of Aussies love our roos and are still thrilled to see them.

My god mate, stop complaining about the prices! Do you really travel much? I been to major cities in Europe, London , North America and they are expensive! You are staying in one of the major cities in the world in a first world country that pays first world wages. We don’t pay people $2 an hour then add 25% tip to the bill like they do in the States. It’s the Sydney Opera House and it’s King St Wharf , not North! You got an Uber from Circular Quay to King Street Wharf in an Uber? Took 20 minutes! You take the ferry round in 10 minutes and take in the view of the Harbour for a few dollars! You came here and did no homework. You can take the ferry out to Manly Beach and across to Watsons Bay for a few bucks, bus out to Bondi and do the coast walk to Coogee and the bus back. Just behind the opera house you have the beautiful Botanic Gardens that hug the Harbour, beautiful for a walk on a sunny day. I mean take a walk across the harbour bridge, go out have fun at Lunar Park. You could hit any real pub in Sydney and started talking to the locals, hitting the hipster bars in Sydney you just going to meet tourists. Sydney has a cheap , fast transport system and for the whole day will cost you like $15( $10 US) capped. You got no idea what you are doing. If you are from America, ignore this bloke, he has no idea what he is doing, it’s embarrassing! Two days and you are talking about NZ! You have no spirit for adventure, it appears it’s more about the plane flight and then you complain it’s so far and you are sitting in business class! Mate I fly to America often and it’s so far from anywhere as far as I’m concerned. It’s expensive, LA, New York, San Francisco, New York, Dallas, even Des Moine is expensive to stay in. If you don’t live there, you eat out and stay in hotels life ain’t cheap. If you want cheap, go to Vietnam or Cambodia, cheap there, but then you would still complain while riding in Ubers! What a waste of a trip. You may as well stayed home!

He was quite surprised at my knowledge of a particular industry in Australia that I'm very interested in. Also, I once worked with the daughter of an Australian who is very well known. Her late father is a household name, especially among Australians who are in their 50s and older. I keep vague because she's very private and we've not run into each other for a while.

No. Captain Cook only anchored in Botany Bay He later sailed northward past the heads of an inlet and named it after Sir George Jackson, but did not sail into it. The ‘inlet’ between the North Head and the South Head forms the opening into the massive waterway now known as Port Jackson, which contains Sydney Harbour, Middle Harbour, North Harbour, the Lane Cove River and the Parramatta River. Captain Cook did land further north, in what is now northern Queensland, near Cooktown, on the Endeavour River, to repair ship damage from the coral reef, the Great Barrier Reef.

The Harbour bridge climb is very safe, my husband did it once. Anyone between 8 years- to a fit 75 year old can do one of the packages. If you do the Burrawa climb you have an indigenous guide and get told stories and have landmarks pointed out. Guns can be bought here, any farmer you talk to will have a couple of shotguns. But we just don't think about them or feel any need for the average person to own one.

That’s King Street Wharf, not King Street North. King Street actually runs east-west from King Street Wharf on Darling Harbour, a branch of Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour) to the top of the ridge at Phillip Street near Hyde Park. Be careful of the electrical difference between Oz and US. Like in most countries, here in Australia we have a nominal 240 volts @ 60Hz with our general purpose circuits supplying up to 10 Amps/2400 Watts. That’s why, again like most of the world, we have switches on our power outlets and we have 3 pins on our plugs: active, neutral (these are the 2 angled pins that you adjusted) and earth (or ground). All for safety.

Australia does have private gun ownership. What we have is strict regulations on private ownership of guns. Private gun ownership now is higher than before regulations were tightened. One of my daughter uses an AR-15 as part of her shooting hobby which is partaken at her local gun club. Kangaroo is very healthy it's delicious. You can buy roo meat at supermarkets like Coles. Sometimes camel meat patties too. The number of roos and camel is at pest control levels due to farming practices. Australia's population has always been multi-national since its colonisation. The history is rich with history of people from the UK, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China and more despite our history of White Australia Policy and cruel treatment of Indigenous peoples.

I was confused when you said it’s so expensive to move around in Sydney, until you said “except you take a train or a bus or something like that”. But why? That’s how everyone moves around, not just in Sydney, but in pretty much any city except maybe in the US. The ferries & trains around the harbour and operates house esp. really have nice views, and super cheap.
@coraliemoller3896
@coraliemoller3896 6 месяцев назад
But for a tourist, especially if time is short, the closer to the harbour or to the inner city, the more there is to see close by. The offset is the high accommodation cost versus the additional travel costs. Public transport also can be crowded at peak times, so walking from accommodation to the tourist destinations is quicker and less restricting.

@Bellas1717 6 месяцев назад
Over 1/3 of Australians come from countries other than Australia and British countries. The majority of Australians who have been here for many generations are the descendants of free settlers. Few Australians have convict heritage. Those who do are very proud of it. Many convicts were victims of political and religious persecution. Many of the criminals actually were desperately poor in the rigid class system and transported for stealing to keep their families alive. So the majority of transported convicts were the best of Britain, not the worst.
@kimn9802
@kimn9802 6 месяцев назад
@@Bellas1717 Not exactly true. Some were genuinely hardened and dangerous criminals, some were political prisoners (Irish separatists for example) and some were the result of ridiculously harsh laws designed to get rid of the poor. There were 19 offences you could be transported for. Unfortunately for the Brits they lost their first choice overseas prison when they lost their American colonies. In fact they send nearly 120,000 to the Americas as distinct from approximately 160,000 sent to Australia. Robert Hughes' excellent book The Fatal Shore goes into great detail about the socio political climate in Britain that led to the convict transportation system. It's a brilliantly written history of the European colonisation of Australia. It lifts the veil on a lot of the misconceptions about Austrlian convicts. They weren't all part of a sewing circle.

@@kimn9802 Perhaps you are confusing my use of 'many' with most / majority / all, and maybe also missing the distinction I made between convicts (religious, political) and criminals (traditional crimes). By stating that 'many' criminals were…, my direct implication was that they were exceptions, that the others were convicted of serious crimes implicit in the use of 'criminals'. From my perspective, you seem to have made a few assumptions: a meaning that the text did not convey, that I lacked (I don’t) and therefore needed that extended knowledge, and that I suggested your nationality was not Australian (it didn’t occur to me that you weren’t). I had tried to make a ridiculous comment on the part of your statement, a statement we both knew was ridiculous.

Guns: Fact 1: There are more guns held legally in private ownership now than at anytime in the past, even though many 1000's were destroyed due to Government anti gun policy after the Port Arthur massacre. Fact 2: These guns however are held in the hands of fewer licensed gun owners than before the gen destruction program. Fact 3: The Police all carry guns, unlike the Police in New Zealand and the UK. Also, there are most likely more illegal guns (seems like mainly hand guns) in the hands of bad dudes that previously. Hence regular gang land slayings.

Melbournian here. Sydney is similar toNew York., or London. In as mush as it’s not really that friendly. Everyone in the CBD are going about their business, and don’t make the time to say g’day to everyone. Sydney is great though, and a postcard. But If you want a good cafe culture, good restaurants, good pubs, good night spots ( that stay open) , great live music venues, a melting pot of cultures with the largest population of Greeks outside of Greece, fashion and art, the home of Aussie rules footy, the largest tram network in the world, the home to the Australian f1 , the Moto Gp and the Australian round of the World Super Bike. Then Melbourne is well worth a visit. We’ll never beat Sydney because they have the harbour, the opera house, the giant coat hanger and more rain. But Melbourne is still well worth the visit You summed up Sydney when you described the people in clicks at the pub. If you go to a pub, have a game of pool. That’s a great way to meet the locals. I don’t know if it’s still the same in Sydney , but last time I played up there, they only payed 1 shot fouls, as opposed to 2 shot fowls in Melbourne. I still don’t get that.

We don’t have a history of slave trade like the US, so any blacks have decided to come here to work. They’re at work so you won’t see them in the CBD. If you want to see aboriginals, you need to head north to the Top End. Maybe on your next visit. You should enter aboriginal territory with an actual guide, because you could easily break their protocols and sacred lands. Think North American native tribes and their lands, and you’ll have a closer idea of how differently they live and believe. Australians prefer pubs to bars because bars are way too expensive.

The main difference between the USA and Australia is geography. Australia is an ISLAND continent with no land borders to other countries therefore no arms being illegally bought across borders or immigrants flooding border towns. We also don't have drug gangs or gangs in generally trafficking people, drags and weapons into our country through these land borders. While there are illegal arms in our country, Australia's borders are extremely secure compared to the USA and our law agents are very connected with regards illegal imports. Personally I wouldn't live in the USA without a weapon especially living near the Mexico border.

Sydney has done well with keeping it nice right in that area of the city, you gotta go to certain parts to see the homeless, even out West in Parramatta the homeless have been moved away from the shopping centre main area further down the road to the church as they've upgraded the area. I grew up in the city 3 streets away from the Blackmarket Cafe and as a kid in the late 90s they had a big shooting there with the bikies, guns were more an issue before but that was coz criminals had access, one of the boys my partner went to school with killed his family on the Central coast with a shotgun but he was a weird kid at school who would tell everyone he was gonna murder them and then the boys would bash him for threatening them, I also think if we had more access to guns it would be bad here coz people are idiots, especially the young ones but these days you can get a hot shotgun for $50, n we have shootings out West because of this but it wont ever affect tourists as it usually happens in governmemt housing areas.

Not all of the early settlers were convicts, because there were military families and the upper class. Many convicts were political dissidents, especially Irish Catholics who were pushed off their land by the English and became troublemakers to the British establishment. It used to be a slur to refer to our convict ancestry but now it is a badge of honour, representing robust resilience and fortitude, and the resulting society proves that many were good respectable people, when freed from the boot of class, religious and ethnic oppression.
