What Tourists Think of Australia 

Your right mate. I live there and isn’t it amazing 😉

Australia or NZ ?

I was born in NZ and live in Australia so I feel good about this lmao

Which is more good Aus or NZ

Thanks mate Btw I’m from Australia

Well said. 😊🇦🇺

born and living here is different to a quick visit go ask a few 30+ year old Australians see the response you get tourist a fed the bullshit floating on the surface.

I love my country australia and proud to be an aussie.. we're younger than most and we're still learning..hopefully we're getting it right for the most part .

@@doseofboost4509 im a 30+ aussie and damn proud to be one..if ppl have a prob who are born here and cant see then beauty, then they can go to many other countries..

Thinking that your country is heading into a bad direction is pretty common across the globe. People tend to hyperfocus on bad things and get paranoid. I don't know much about Australia, but if Europe could handle being the epicenter of ww2 and come out ok, Australia should be able to handle whatever struggles it faces rn. In my country Australia have a really good reputation. Sry for bad english.

Ikkk 😭

We close early yeah but when your working you also close early 👉😎👉

Yep especially living in perth

Thanks! 😁

Bloody hell.

@@arconeagain ?

from what I have seen and heard of Australia I would love to have the opportunity to visit and chat with some of the best on the planet

@@davidnunley2490 chat away...

You're aboriginal?

I don’t think he meant it like that. I think he was referring to the sense of family belonging whereas in the states kids prefer to live on their own.

@@Name-jw4sj I don't think he meant it like that. I think he was referring it as a way to insert humour into a more serious interview video whereas in most interview videos people comment on things they've observed in the video while this one points out some irony into what he said with a slight jab and joke that ran past you.

I'm confused as to why that sounded insulting at all??

@@tamsin1969 wat

@@reggieangus5325 nah I agree with Ali on this one.

Woo! Any time of year is a good time here in Australia! It’s pretty much always Summer 😜

January - March if you are comfortable with really, really hot, dry weather 40+ degrees Celsius. Travel up North of Tropic can be a bit hit and miss with the Wet Season. October, November might suit North Americans better.

Yes, I've been overseas and Australia is very beautiful, you must hire a car and head for the central coast of NSW, the rivers, the forests and the ocean with village towns t'out, don't forget the Sydney Harbour with all the cliffs, amazing, in saying that every State has it's beauty. Love to see more people visit, the Tableland near Cain's, such mountainous country just gorgeous, you can say it's expensive but you also can do it on the cheap. Melbourne for its art culture, Sydney for its cosmopolitan, Brisbane a growing City but has great nightlife and not far from beautiful beaches with that white sand, Adelaide and Perth travel to the greatest vineyards, Tasmania very similar to NZ, beautiful rivers and with a charm, musn't forget those beaches, yes we have it all. Come to our shores you won't regret it, most people will give you a helping hand, and if you feel sick just call in to a free hospital. I could go on but won't bore you. I have travelled and manage to see beauty in all other countries but came to the conclusion we have it all in Australia.

Come to Great Barrier Island in NZ

WHY do Americans think summer is a good time to visit? CRAZY!

Interesting, I didn’t know this!

@@WelcomeTo Glad to help Love your videos. I remember when I first left school women weren't allowed in the public bar and if you were with a lady you had to go to the " lounge bar "

​@@marcusfox2443 Even crazier is that there is a place in Brisbane City called the Queensland Club that is still men only, and Tattersall's Club also in Brisbane only just allowed women to join last year after they had a member vote... but it wasn't a clear consensus (1,405 members voted to allow women and 1,368 voted against). It's quite surprising to see in the modern day, and it might be an interesting topic to make a video about, though there might be more to it than I'm aware of. But despite that I do feel that Australia is one of the more progressive countries in the world.

@@WelcomeTo wow that's a close vote ,I vaguely remember it on the news. It certainly does seem surprising but I think it's probably the death knell of the old boy's clubs ,thanks for the info. Yes do a bit of research and see what turns up, could be interesting. I'm in Townsville so I see the Brisbane news. I agree Australia is one of the more progressive countries although some Scandinavian countries seem a little more so. My older brother's name came up in the Vietnam birthday draft and he was due to go over there but fortunately Australia pulled out of the war and he never ended up going . At least he could have a beer lol. Interesting to think about what my generation worried about compared to todays teenagers and the struggles of the modern world.

Lets be honest most kids are drinking before they are 18yrs.

Sounds like two awesome reasons to go there 👍👍

Haha! I am an Australian and I can totally understand why our accent is difficult for you! Sometimes, especially when people speak quickly, even we struggle with it! Luckily, in the more metropolitan areas (including suburbs near the cities) the accent is less relaxed and so is easier to understand. I'd say just remember the 'r' isn't really pronounced (unless it's at the end of a word before another word with a vowel at the start, e.g,. 'car is'), and try to listen past the mumbling sound, and you'll be okay. Besides, people often take care to speak slower/clearer when talking to a foreigner, because we know our accent is really confusing. (I would have said that like 'Besides, people offen tayke kehh to speak slowah/clearah when torking to a foreignah, becoz we kno owh accent iz really confusing.') But your English seems damn good, so I'm sure you'll be fine at navigating our accent once you're exposed to it a bit more. I've always wanted to visit Sweden tbh. What's it like there for a tourist?

@@alishajade5621 Haha thanks for some valuable advice! I'm sure I will need them 😂 Yeah Sweden is nice, especially Stockholm where I live its very beautiful now when we have our summertime (thats another difference between Sweden and Australia we have summer now and you have in december - january) Anyhow I can truly recommend Stockholm if you ever visit Sweden, my guess is that between may - september is the best time. Lots of nice shopping, attractions, parks and lakes :) Then we have much forest and lakes and some other nice cities as well ( some nice, some not but that's my personal opinion;) ) anyhow you are welcome to visit!

@blue dog thanks man, I appreciate it 😂😂

You'll find if you come here you'll adjust very quickly to the accent. The reason why you'd find the American accent easier to understand is because you've been exposed to it more. But our brains are quite amazing at adapting. After a short time being surrounded by another accent, your brain switches to that accent being the normal. Then what is hilarious... Is when you listen to your own accent it's quite shocking. I experienced this in Canada. Where I got used to the accent and stopped noticing it. And then the Australian election happened so Mum and I watched the Australian news. And we were flabbergasted by our own accent.

Mate 99% of aussies will slow down the talking so we both know what we’re talking about instead of just guessing

He must watch Channel 9. I grew up at Mermaid Beach and NOBODY said that.

Really? You guys have a wonderful fairytale country with one of the strongest economy

Nazis

I have lived in Australia for 73.5 years. You would not BELIEVE how fast I can move if there is a Huntsman in the house! HATE them! Best day EVER when a relative (by marriage) held one in his hand to prove they are harmless. It bit him! 😂

The South African guy sounded like he wasn’t here too long

I've lived here since I was 2. Still hate the fookers

I think he hasnt even seen a spider hes just regurgitating stereotypes. Lived here my whole life and can count on one hand how many times ive seen a spider

Exactly. I'm not from Australia originally but lived here over a decade, and this guy seems to have seen more than me!

Totally! ( insert drop bear here ) 🐻

Yep how many times have you heard the f word and c word

@@goeast12 An American labelling Australians arrogant. The irony. There's a reason they probably homed in on you. But of course you're oblivious.

​@@goeast12 And you're still triggered over nothing 2 years later. You're a whining snowflake who thinks every-one should drop to their knees because you're American. Get over yourself.

lol

We have a lot of the upsides of American culture, without a lot of the downsides. Its not too hard to see in the cities, but much harder to see that influence out Bush where I grew up

Absolutely!

@@devo3243 what

Lot of Australians HATE EVERYTHING about beer & drink fuck all (alcohol), not very often and even then, only one or TWO drinks. And I'm 63, from country WA, living in Perth,& born in Ireland. The drinking culture is there .. but overblown. The alcoholics make up for everyone else. They drink like fish.

@@devo3243 I totally agree. We have lots of good American stuff. We seem to sift out the crap.

It's a tourist destination.......

Lolll

@AlpineViking91 yes. But many of the folk in my small town in india hit 80 years. The big smog cities are bad for health though

Q-A-N-T-A-S

adelaide is simular weather to them

@@Bonstergirl1 but Adelaide is boring

Oz has lots of different climates. Northern Oz is actually in the tropics, while down south there are alpine regions where it snows in winter. It really varies.

Yes. Much better.

Perth apparently has weather closer to that of Los Angeles, while Tasmania is closer to England, and Darwin is like South India

@@WelcomeTo Oh alright thanks for the recommendation mate!

which one??

Ethan Hargreaves aww Ethan

Niiiiiiicceeee

parisd0g 72 it’s funny that she says that considering they marry off their children at 12 !

wound up

Fr I just thought this was how life was 🤔

In the USA they are frantic ALL the time.

I would rather Victoria weather then QLD weather

Haha, I guess English accents can sound similar to us! And hopefully! 🤞 But in the meantime, you can experience Australia through this channel! 😛

Let’s swap places I’ve never been out of Australia

Just fly to japan then across to Australia. You can stay overnight in a hotel at the narita airport.

When in the USA I continually get told I am "British" but my husband is easily recognised as an Aussie. Apparently a good school is my burden!

in vic

qld isn't very expensive

Then whats the point

Really? I see king browns and red bellies all the time out in the bush, same with huntsmans and trapdoors 😂 😂

@@TA-ls5nr Yes, but as you said, you are out in the bush.

Yeah, true. It makes me angry when they take their country for granted

I felt like that when I lived in Brisbane and the Gold Coast. I left when I was 30 and 43 years later LOVE the Canberra area still.

You can have too much of a good thing, but australia isn't as perfect as people think it is. You were just really good at getting what you wanted

EXACTLY!

The reason everything closes early is that our labour laws allow workers to have a life.

Really depends on where you live, but overall I slightly agree.

I am in my 60s, living in rural Victoria beside the Murray River. We have a shack 34 minutes drive from home and since I retired I spend usually 7-10 days at a time there five or six times a year, just me and my two border collie X kelpie dogs. I have been walking in the bush almost daily for 40+ years and I have only ever come across three snakes. (We have chooks and my hubby sees on average four or five in our backyard every year but I have never seen one.) Also despite travelling frequently on bush tracks I HAD never hit a kangaroo until about two years ago. The second one was in a 60km zone kms from the centre of town. (Not happy Jan!) The main rule of thumb in Australia is to just "let them be free." Our animals are as frightened of us as we are of them and problems usually only occur when we cross paths!

I've seen a lot of red backs, couple of brown snakes and kangaroos. I'd say the most dangerous ones are the roos, they love the hop in front of your car from wherever they are hiding or even if they are 50 m from the road, they'll rush to cross in front of you as you're passing. I would only like roos if they were fly eaters which they're not, yet...

@@JuanPablo-kj9dg I don't know if this is true or an Urban Myth. My sister lives in Bendigo and RACV thought there was an excessive amount of claims about cars hitting 'roos. Apparently RACV sent an investigator to Bendigo but he hit a kangaroo on his way there up there. It seems a bit sus though. What's the point of sending anyone to physically investigate? The Skippies don't listen. They think jumping in front of cars is our national pass time. I've hit two roos in 40 years of driving ...and the first one was at Huntly on the outskirts of Bendigo! I could have saved the RACV bloke a trip to investigate! Have a good one!

You mean like the Red Bellied Black snake that was in my kitchen? I just called the snake catcher! $70 fixed it. She'll be right mate.

I think.Covid has proven we are more and more AUSTRALIAN.

I'm a Australian yes we have deadly spiders the Sydney funnel web, red back' s and white tail spider's lots of very deadly snake,s fresh and salt water crocodiles, stingers that is a very small jelly fish that can kill you, blue ringed octopus the list goes on and on plants that sting you with thousands of tiny needle fibers, if you come to Australia and go north Queensland the crocodiles are in the water ways but do come to Australia it's a awesome place.😁👍

Oh and one last thing when we had floods and the river banks broke we had bull sharks swimming down the main st of Toowoomba past the butcher shop that's a suburb of Brisbane, this is for real 2010 floods

Don't worry about ... they are typical india parents....

Yepp , they're what we all refer to them as Boomers. They're just so stiff and so formal in the video as well, when the actual truth is here in India we been drinking from the age of 15 😂 and they don't even know. Now ofcourse were grown-ups and make sure the next younger generation that it's okay to try a few as long as they don't disrespect or do any harm to the others! Cheers lad 🍻

Cricket isn't rlly a thing for us, we r more on the football side lmao

I love cricket

Australian since birth, sixth generation. Cricket is SO boring.

We like soccer more

God forbid!

American population 300 million. Australia population 26 million. More room for everyone😁

I've been to Lancelin area and the beaches are beyond this world. Lonely, pure white sand and cristal clear water, amazing.

I completely agree. I lived in Perth until age 8 and then we moved to the east coast, and of course we frequent the beaches there. Still visit Perth every few years and their beaches are my favourite. And having travelled all around Australia for four months, it saddens me that tourists and even Australians are missing out on so much in this country.

I agree I am from America and if I had the opportunity I would choose Perth. I have heard all of Australia is great but was always attracted to the Western side especially Perth. I have heard great things from people who have visited

WA has some of the best beaches I’ve ever seen anywhere in the world.

I will be 74 this year and have spent time in Europe, Asia, USA and Canada - but not Perth. Why would I bother to go there?

It’s ridiculous! Don’t understand why people focus in this when you rarely see these things

Did she just flip the bird?

AND HE SAID THEYRE NICE

Then what’s that thing called the way you sound?

I'm Italian... I'm so sorry... I think he meant beaches... It's hard for us to pronounce these two words correctly 😂
