This Parcel Left Us SPEECHLESS.... 

Chris and Tracy .give yourself a pat on the back 👏👏👏👏

As much as I enjoy your reaction videos, mailtimes are my favourite. Your family's genuine appreciation and delight put a smile on this Aussie's face 😊 I can't afford to send you a package but hope that those who can, will keep the tradition going!

I am glad to see my parcel for you arrived even with a small mishap. The round 50 cent piece is worth up to $25 Au nearly more than the paper notes combined. (Edit $10 to $15 dollars each silver coin on today market) Happy taste testing a small part of the Adelaide hills. Keep the videos coming 😀

That cutting board is a piece of art. Nice job guys!

So glad these small businesses added their websites as it means many Aussies will check out their goods.

I love that it’s impossible to watch your videos without having a huge smile. What a beautiful family! You do realise us Aussies will spoil you even more in person, I look forward to seeing your family adventures down under sometime 💗

Ha Ha, we have GOT him. "No worries about the timing" says Ian. Just slipped of the tongue natural as you like. Lol😁👍🇦🇺

I reckon the little one heard the prezzies being opened... and there was no way she was gunna miss out on that!🤣 I love the way your family interact. So much love there, you're a good man Ian, and your family reflects that. On a side note, I know how much those collectible replica cars cost here in Australia. You got spoiled! Deservedly so. Love you and your family's love for Australia. It's honest and heartfelt.

It's because Australia loves you and you make life easier with covid,floods,and fires you're family are one of us much love from Australia

It melts my heart when I see the tender love of a daddy with his princess. Hi Emma 🥰. You guys are such a relatable and authentic family; please don’t lose this (something that often fades over time on RU-vid, when it becomes all scripted content 😔)

Going to need a bigger pool room 😂😂😂😂❤️👍🙏🦘🐨🇦🇺

Ian’s reaction to the Coles little shop minis = me and most of Australia when these came out!! TIP: they make great fridge magnets. Just glue small magnets to the back.

You should make golden syrup dumplings, it’s like the best Aussie dessert I’ve grown up on it an make it for my daughter now

Fantastic gift box. , Camphor Laurel is not a native Australian tree but is very common and does smell wonderful

The Rainbow Serpent book from Janice is beautiful, an important cherished story of Dreamtime

Awww Emma’s ‘what?!’ face made my day 🤣🤣 love you guys!! X

I have tears of pride because of you, Chris and Tracy. Simply beautiful. With all the shit that's going on in the world.... there is still a lot of love out there.

the newspaper was a brilliant idea! you can just duck your head into our world while reading it.

Totally unrelated bit of yesterday trivia. Back in the 60s an old lady next door would get me to go to the shop for her. She would give me 2 bob or 2 shillings and for that she got a 20 pack of Rothmans a box of matches a newspaper and a pint of milk ! And I got the tuppence leftover for a big bag of lollies ! The " good old days " !😎👍

I like that a guy from Victoria sent you Queensland Beer. When their VB or Victorian Bitter is pretty good too. I loved the older money and one of those pennies is my birth year. There was a penny, a half penny and a farthing. That was a quarter of a penny and before me. My Dad had some and back when he used them they bought a big bag of lolly’s. The 50 cent coin is worth around $10.00 last time I checked. Oh no! I just read the post from the lady who sent it. It is worth around $25.00 now. Just for the silver content. I thought it was odd that my Nana’s milkman made a special trip to pick up her money until I was there one day. She was paying for her milk in just those coins and he was making a lot of money off a not young and very kind lady. Until he met me, I may not stand up for me but no one tried that with my Nana. Way back then they were worth $7.50 each. My favourite brand is Berenberg in many things. I love the Blueberry jam. My husband is my carer and for lunch yesterday I asked if I could please have some mustard pickles. He looked really happy that I asked and came back with a jar of Berenberg mustard pickles with my name on the label. He made me laugh and he is very sweet. That was the first time I tried that brand in mustard pickles and I am tough because I have only ever loved one brand since I was small. Berenberg beat it, they are so good. Enjoy.

These make me so happy (except the xxxx gold bleh). Love seeing other people happy about Aussie stuff

Those Cole's minis were/are collectors' items a few years ago. People were fighting over them and you never knew which ones you were going to get as they were inside little packets. Grown adults were fighting over them! The Vegemite minis were the hardest to get and I think Nutella too. Ppl were trading them on the internet when they first came out. I just found your channel today and I'm binging! My fave vids have to be the mail openings. Thanks for the great viewing guys. Subbed.

I can remember buying stuff with halfpennies. Back in the day, there were quite a few things you could buy with it.

The round 50c was discontinued because it was produced with silver content exceeding the coin face value. Even poor dull coins are sold for over $5, and premium coins for quite large sums. Many are horded as they just on silver content now are far above face value, even more than when the multi sided current style replaced the round ones.

You should open an Australian themed private museum to show off your collection 😊

Your mail time videos are the best! I love how excited you and your family get and I love how generous us Aussies are. That board is freaking amazing! With all the horrible things happening in the world, it's easy to forget people can be kind. Your mail time videos bring me as much joy to watch as they do to you opening the packages. Helps to restore faith in humanity. ♥️

Those white birds on the kitchen stuff around 17:00 are called 'Sulphur crested cockatoos', although most people here call them 'cockatoos' or 'cockies'. They are big birds (like large parrots), are awesome but are so loud particularly early in the mornings when they feed in large groups 😂

To Chris & Tracy, Massive respect for adding the ANZAC Biscuit recipe on the back from a fellow ANZAC in NZ...

I love the editing of your pronunciation of Queensland… I lost it🤣😂🤣🇦🇺

Save the cans and build a boat, and what side of the cutting board would you use?

You might want to look into making Golden syrup dumplings with icecream.

Chris and Tracey amazing. That chopping board is gorgeous, how thoughtful. All the parcels were amazing.

If you have no food, an Anzac biscuit will save your life, They used it as a ration in WW2.

Golden syrup great on pancakes or crumpets

Les Norton books are the best ! Read the complete set half a dozen times... R.I.P Robert G Barrett !

XXXX because Queenslanders can't spell BEER! 😁

The $1 note is worth about $10 now, it’s value triples if it is marked commonwealth of Australia, the $2 note is around $15-20 now and the $10 is about $40, the pennies are worth a few dollars between them. But to answer your question as to what can be bought for a half penny.. in the 60’s you could buy a cast iron sauce pan for a half penny.

You are so nice, you two. Who wouldn't want to give you stuff. Many blessings to you and your family.XOX

@IWrocker, the paper money ($1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100) used to have a very thin metal strip inside, running from the top to the bottom of each note, which determined they were not counterfeit (if the notes did not have the metal strip, they were deemed counterfeit, invalid) so if you hold your notes up to the light, holding each end of each note you should be able to see the metal strip. 🙂 P.S.: Australia was the first country in the world to use plastic notes, and our notes are the hardest money in the world to counterfeit. P.P.S.: Try not to handle the coins too much, specially without gloves on. Fingerprints will devalue the coins. Back when we had pennies, things were much cheaper, like in America, particularly from the early 1900's til the 1950's. But innthen1960's kids would use them to buy lollies (candy, sweets).

G'day Ian, if you want to be speechless, have a look at the house prices on the Gold Coast in that newspaper.

The penny and half penny are pre decimal. Australia went from the old English currency of pounds shillings and pence on the 14th Feb 1966, the 50cent piece is the first minted

The miniatures of supermarket products were a Coles, or was it Woolworth, promotional toy offer free with shopping one item per $20 on invoice if I recall correctly.

What's with the voice over guy saying Queensland over the calendar viewing. 😂😂. That chopping board was off its tits. Bloody awesome effort.

the 50c is cool, it's round! Even most Aussies wouldnt have seen one.

Blind me dead mate, you got spoiled. Put it this way, im Aussie but um if i got all that i would be the happiest guy in town for a week & more. Peter Brock cars & stuff NO WAY. That currency blew me away as well. So as you guys would say NEAT. cool vid loved it mate.

XXXX Gold brings back a childhood memory for me. My Uncles are huge drinkers, and would sit around and sink piss until the BBQ, then start back up till early hours of the morning, on Christmas. One of my uncles mates used to come over and he drank XXXX Gold, at the time I was around 12, and he would always say I'll be driving a train tomorra/tomorrow When they first come out they had a Train, under the XXXX Logo.

Good that they sent some advertisements so you get an idea of price comparison between our countries. It's interesting listening to you and learning every day stuff from an every day family. ( I mean that in the nicest way ! ) Stay safe and enjoy your pancakes with plenty of Golden Syrup !😎👍

Camphor laurel trees have beautifully fragrant, tiny flowers in spring. You’d love them.

I just love you guys. You’re so genuinely appreciative of the things that are sent to you, it makes my day. You guys rock! I live on the Gold Coast too. It’s a great place to live. 💕🇦🇺

Finally someone sent you Beerenberg 👌🏼👌🏼 Dude, i am 36 and never held an old Australian penny, nor a 1 or 2 dollar bill. Those gifts are VERY generous 🙌🏼🙌🏼👌🏼

Mate when you are in Melbourne I’ll buy you a beer ! Love your content

The genuine reaction to what is sent, hit me right in the feels.

That round 50c coin had so much silver in it, that some years later the silver was worth more than the 50c. face value Vast amounts of them were melted down and so they became rare. At one time, silver got so expensive that one of those 50c coins was worth $12.50.

Danny try making biscuits uncooked, then put 2 tablespoons of golden syrup 100 grams of butter 450ml water 225 grams of brown sugar bring to a boil and pour over the biscuit mix in a 3 inch pan pop it into the oven 20 mins later you dish it up at sweets time with Custard. Warm is best, on a Cold winters night. Very sweet. Actually let me know if you like, please. Australia loves you, thank you for sharing your life with us in these turbulent times, the little things are for daughter playing with they are toys

Dani, the white birds on your kitchen accessories are called Sulphur Crested Cockatoos. Parrakeets are a different bird. 😍👍🇦🇺

Wow the 1 dollar note hasn't been around since the early 1980s, someone has been holding onto those notes and kept them in very good order.

Single use bags are not encouraged here in Australia hence the many reusable styles of shopping bags . I keep 3 insulted ones + at least 8 - 10 reusable ones in various sizes + washable bags for vegetables and fruit all to be used instead of the plastic bags in store

When I first moved into my home in 1970 the view from my kitchen window was the Glasshouse mountains but too many houses have been built so the mountains Re o longer visible😏

Seeing the old paper notes and the 50 cent piece from so many years ago - familiar and strange all at once, real head messer upper. People are so generous and kind, easy to forget sometimes, so kind of everyone to send you so many wonderful pressies.

Camphor is used to prevent clothing moths attacking your clothes in the wardrobe.

Yeah, I'd maybe not read the Les Norton books aloud around the fireplace at thanksgiving. They're kinda gross. I enjoyed them as a youngster with a toilet for a brain but then I grew up.

Ive been for a ride in the Interceptor from Mad Max.....an acquaintance of mine is licensed to make replicas of the cars from the movie series......apparently a lot of the original cars used were destroyed during the making of the movies. Got to admit, riding in the Interceptor is one of the cooler experiences of my life.

oh man, Pie floater....sounds crap but tastes great. bowl of hot pea soup, hot meat pie floating upside down on top of it, covered in plenty of tomato sauce...yum

Great job on the chopping board guys. Beautiful 😎👍

Hi Guys love your show. Would love to see you react to womens rugby and rugby league. Much love from NZ

The recipe on the back was a great option well done Chris.

I luv the Junk Mail. When I go overseas I collect some of their Junk Mail. When someone send me stuff from overseas I love to read the Newspaper wrapping. Camphor Laurel trees are everywhere in Australia. The big News Paper is called a Broadsheet. You should try Rosella Jam, on toast it is just the best tasting Jam. The mini groceries are Woolworths collectables.

In its time 1950s to 1960s, a 1/2 penny bought a few lollies. 5 Penins a icecream, 10 pennies got a small bottle of lemonade.

Camphour laurel is amazing. I have a blanket box made of it and it keeps away pests and things so no worries about it. And it keeps em smelling fresh in storage not musty. Still going strong 30 plus years later

FYI 'golden syrup' in slang is called 'cockies joy.' the 'cockies' are the cow cockies which is one of our slang terms for our cow ranchers or cow herders. During the depression, golden syrup was a staple. Hey "Clinkers" were my fav lolly as a child, I didn;t know we cld still get them. You could buy a lolly with a halfpenny (pronounced haypenni) in the 1950's/60's.

5:12 They're advertising pamphlets... Probably so you can have a laugh at the prices and products rather than a "gift"

That chopping board should go straight o the pool room.

Seeing those old $1 and $2 notes .. wow reminds me of school lunch money.. awesome to see you enjoying some goodies from home.

Golden Syrup is made from sugar cane, and Bundy Rum is made from molasses which is the leftover substance when sugar cane is processed into sugar.

Ian and Family that XB Falcon Mad Max 300 bucks Australian cheers Mick

When I was a kid you could buy 4 pieces of candy for a half penny, and you could get a large bag of broken biscuits for a penny

The iwrocker cutting board . Straight to Pool room.

Golden syrup is great on hot buttered toast...!!!

The game with clinkers is to guess the colour before you bite

Ian and family are just so likeable. Not hard to see why most Aussies on this channel love the iwrocker family

send this man a copy of ''The Australian'' for size

@9:00 the smell of pine wood back in the 1970's and i gather house still use pine wood for flooring i had vivid memories smelling pine wood when my parents bought a brand new home back in 1971 and yes thats the first think you would smell once you open the front door of a brand new home

Geez you can’t complain with all these freebies!

My grandfather used to collect all of his 1and 2 cent coins. When he passed he left me the amount of this collection in his will. When I turned 18yrs old my inheritance was $6,150. That was a lot of money back in 1985. I bought myself a second hand car, a second hand caravan, everything I needed to deck out the caravan and even had enough left for a huge clothes shop and of course I had to have a few good parties lol. Also dad used to give me $2 a week pocket money when I was a kid. Usually he would give me the $2 note. One week he handed me the note and told me that there were 4 Aussie TV shows on the $2 note so of course I asked him to show me. He took my note, pointed at the sheep (war show baa baa black sheep) then he pointed to each corner of the note and said (four corners a news/current affair type show) then he quickly ripped my $2 note in half and said with a grin (jack the ripper a series on TV) and finally he threw my torn note over his shoulder and said (gone with the wind a TV series on the famous movie). I didn’t talk to him for days lol

Golden syrup is made from sugar cane. The majority of products (sweets) are made from sugar cane where is I think America uses corn syrup

The Queensland fix is a memorable bonus.

Golden Syrup is divine on pancakes/

Even now, sometimes people still refer to the paper notes as "real money".

What a great haul!!! I remember seeing the black blown Interceptor from Mad Max up close at Oran Park back in the 80s. Very iconic car...

Holy shit the little one is bloody adorable!!

That round 50 cent piece is valuable.

I love camphor laurel trees, not the best thing to have in surburbia due to their root systems, they're are many camphor laurel trees on the east coast of Australia. Have to be one of the coolest (temperature wise) trees to be under the canopy of, however they actually are not native to Australia, they were introduced in the early 1800s, they're native to parts of Asia. In NSW at least they are a Class 4 noxious weed and are not allowed to be propagated, sold or distributed. They're are still many new sappers though that comes through from seed be dropped in bird droppings.

20 years ago my dad was doing wood turning, when ever he turned Campherloral I gathered up some of the shavings put em in little drawstring bags to be hung in the wardrobe / closet. The smell of the Campherloral keeps the moths away from the clothes.

Great reactions guys to your latest gift openings., especially the Adelaide hills guide. Did you know that South Australia has a border with every other state on Australia’s mainland. (Just a little fact that may interest you.) keep up the good work Ian, enjoying the videos. 👍🏼🤠

Another good vid Ian,1972 was Brocks first Bathurst win in a XU1 Torana he would of won Bathurst in 1973 aswell had his co_driver not run out of fuel coming into the pits.

So much love. You'll have to get a bigger house to store all your goodies. I hear real estate in Gold Coast is good. Haha

Hi everybody. The box from Tracy cost $A165 to post. That's serious.

you will need the golden syrup for the anzac biccis recipe on the back of the cutting board.yum
