Yeah, liked that, she loves our Spiders and Birds, I do too... and talking to the birds is a must. It’s great the Bell bird whistled back. Razor blades, love that she loves that too.😃 it was a big thing in High school years they introduced us earlier Aussie kids to Using Razor Blades. Other than waxing. Cheers 🍻
Melissa seems as adorable as us....she should visit TASMANIA where I live because it’s the BEST part of Australia....but InStyle missed it on the map! ❤️🇦🇺
Glad to hear the rich and celebrities are enjoying Australia, while thousands are being separated from their loved ones and not able to say goodbye to their parents before they pass because of the draconian border closure measures. But I am glad you and your celeb friends enjoy Aussiewood, Melissa.
@@kerriemills1310 Hi hun. She wasn't talking about a bell bird. Different sound. I belive she was referring to a whip bird. Really distinctive. Regardless, we are lucky to live here and have such unique native flora and fauna.
My first year abroad was in Australia. Many, many of my African American friends asked me, "why Australia?" thinking that I might encounter the same type of racism that I experience here in the US. However during my European travels, I met and travelled briefly with a group of Australian who to this day are still my friends. And I instinctively knew, "Oh yeah, I'm heading to Australia." And it was and is beyond incredible. I only with that I'd had the foresight not to return to the US. By now, I would have developed at least a mild accent. Australis is nothing but pure magic.
Unless you're a black indigenous person. I honestly believe that black migrants are considered a higher level or more relatable than an aboriginal Australian.
All the little things hit home,that Melissa said,like that people talk to,and care about each other.The appreciation of the natural beauty and wildlife,and that she feels Australia is "right way up". It's such a lovely treat to hear about what others love about Australia and Australian's. It warms my heart. 🙂 Absolutely love Melissa McCarthy.I like her humour, character, personality,and presence,and on top of that she happens to be a brilliantly funny actress as well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us Melissa,about what you like here in Australia.
I can really feel her joy and light heart through the video. It must feel so liberating to get away from the burdens we have here in the U.S. with the pandemic and politics and everything that's going on. I pray for lighter and more joyful times for everyone. Love this video and Melissa McCarthy.
I've chatted to people in America openly and if say more than in Australia. I live in Adelaide and in. the city people are quite conservative, polite but conservative. If you tried to start a random conversation you'd get a silent response in most part. I suppose everything seems different on holiday.
@@glennoc8585 In Sydney I'm forever starting conversations with people at bus stops or in shops & having them do it with me too. Not quite so much nowadays with mobile phones, especially with the bus stop one, but I still find it frequent. I think it depends on the area & time of day. I had the best chats with people pre-panic buying in supermarkets :) In the evenings as the restock of shelves was in progress, all the sensible people prepping were there, never taking too much so as to trigger a panic, but buying extra of what was plentiful & easily spotted by the 3-4 packs of single items in trolleys, so we all had some really great chats about what we should be buying, recipe ideas for new things to try etc etc Go to those same shops at say 4pm though & NO WAY was any of that happening! People were all rushed & distracted
I'm an Englishman who married a Byron Bay girl, so know that area well. Australia is an amazing place to live, or to visit, and I'm grateful for every one of the 20 year's I've lived here. Very happy you are enjoying your stay and spreading the word.
Absolutely love the "razor blades". We keep getting told that our accent is one of the hardest to mimic, but with those two words, you did a damned fine job!
alison moore I had a giant one drop on my head and run over my hands on the steering wheel in peak hour traffic, 4 lanes at 110km driving to the Sunshine Coast. Knew it wouldn't kill me but that the rising panic and traffic might. Hate those buggers in the car.
No spider should run that fast. And when they somehow get in your car! Just driving along and a huge ass huntsman crawls across the inside of your window.
I'm glad I found this video. MM is hilarious on TV and in movies but seeing how much Australia has made an impression on her makes me feel proud to be Aussie.
"I wish that salt water crocodiles were seen as frequently as turkeys." Me, horrified, thinking about all the bush turkeys that just wander through supermarket carparks and suburban backyards. "Nah, yeah, nah."
@@spateri728 Yes they're called both. Up here it's definitely bush chooks as a slang. That's what we call scrub turkeys anyway. Google says otherwise that they are emus but there's no bloody emus up in this area but plenty of bush chooks/ scrub tukeys/ scrub fowls/ bush turkeys everywhere whatever you want to call them.
@@gideonharris1493 Definitely not emu country. I had a bush turkey in my backyard & I am 9 k from Sydney CBD .Unfortunately their nests attract snakes but that’s just the way wild life works. Out west farmers in the wheat belt call emus bush chooks .
I didn’t appreciate Australian bird life until foreigners pointed out how many species we get to see in suburban backyards. All song birds have a common ancestor that lived in the ancient forests of Australia which is why we have such a diverse array of song birds here to this day.
This is something that has been pointed out to me too over the last 15 years from friends I met OS when they've come to stay, funnily enough I have been to quite a few places around the world where I specifically noticed the absence of everything we take for granted and never connected the dots till the first friend that came to stay pointed out how lucky we are, our days are literally filled with the songs of Australia. The last two years being wet form El Nina greening everything up nicely there's been an obvious increase of birds across species in the aria too which is brilliant after the devastative losses of 2019.
Glad you are having a good time here. I love huntsman spiders, grew up with them. They are great fly and mozzie catchers, they only stay a couple of days then leave. You don't bother them, they don't bother you.
really? mine come in in spring & stay until autumn. I do occasionally need to hand feed them though, cause I don't have enough bugs inside for them to feed on, cause they guard my doors & eat all the bugs as they try to enter :)
Thank you for getting to know just a touch of this great great country we call home. It doesn't matter if your having a bad day because " she"ll be right. There is always tomorrow. Love ya.
Yes, they do swoop but the funny thing is, I’ve always fed them and wherever I go throughout Oz I’ve never ever been swooped while others beside me have whilst running though the parks during breeding season? Maybe I’ve just been lucky? 😳😳🙏
@@gemspiritmessages2754 😹😹😹I’m the same since I started feeding them 12 years ago I’ve never been swooped again😹😹😹they love the cats dry food so I put some out for them in a hanging basket😹😹😹
@@EchoBravo370 but over time the right way up becomes clear, since tectonic plate movement means that everything's moving north, therefore, on a hanging map, the south should be up the top, so that over time everything falls due to gravity :)
Lived there for two years. Back in darwin now. Tasmania is a beautiful place scenery is amazing great fly fishing. Lovely people. You guys need a better advertising department cause if people knew how awesome Tassie was you would have alot more tourism. That said maybe it's better a kept secret 😉.
It's weird.I have lived in Australia all my life and every time I go bush walkings Im never afraid of anything? and nothing ever happens (except Leeches, I hate Leeches)
I bush walk and we step over the small baby snakes sunning themselves or walk around the larger ones. The most annoying things are the bull ants that climb your trouser legs if you accidentally walk close to their nest.
And we love you too Melissa, I like our great variety of strange birds, Magpies are my favourite and lyrebirds, sulpher crested cockatoos, budgies, the list is endless..........
Please I need someone to help me trade or invest the forex or crypto market because I'm tired of trading in losses myself. I've blown my account twice and it's frustrating.
1. Cooper's Schute is a very beautiful part of Australia, and yes it loojs like that. It wasn't greened-up on the video colour somehow. 2. Melissa has cracked the Ozzie Code! Just about everything here is 'right side up', and most of the rest of the world get's quite a bit backwards,. New Zealand get's it right side up too. Welcome to paradiseMelissa.
We love you and your observations Melissa, and that you love Australia as much as we do , I really miss you in Mike and Molly I have all the DVD's that I watch constantly ❤
🙋🏻♀️ my most favourite thing in Australia is the car hand / finger wave. On the road, if another driver is polite by letting you in, go first or other, you raise fingers from the driving wheel to say thanks. It’s a whole language.
Viv Locke thanks for showing us that you have a little bit of difficulty when it comes to thinking for yourself, you don't give too much thought to freedom, you don't know a lot about politics and have a little bit of difficulty knowing the difference btwn right and wrong
Thanks Melissa you are not only super talented, funny but also you are so down to earth, why not just move here I am sure you would be most welcome. TC and Stay Safe
Melissa is spot on about our birds! First thing I remember after travelling overseas & coming home was magpies in particular. Then bloody noisy cockatoos, galahs & birds in general. But “Riser blydes” had me in stitches!🤣 I thought she was way off until I said it aloud several times & my God she’s right!🤪
You can come here anytime. :) Our wildlife might be deadly but they’re pretty chill aye if ya don go an step on them. Also lovin that you’re picking up our iconic accent. Becoming full Okka is an art and almost a whole new language.
I didn't know Melissa McCarthy was here shooting. Glad she likes the Byron area. It cracks me up the way Americans hear our Aussie vowels. "Riza bloides" 😂😂 And yes, we are doing really well with COVID - thanks to our state govts, not our federal govt, who wanted to keep everything open and damn the consequences.
Mate, sounds like you don't have anything to do with Victoria given we have experienced three lockdowns, the second lasting 112 days. Even the hotel quarantine enquiry didn't find anyone responsible for decisions made regarding the hotel quarantine fiasco resulting in the first lockdown. No one was found to be responsible for the quarantine staffing...NO ONE. Dan the Dictator has not taken responsibility in any way, even though "the buck is supposed to stop at the top". Anyway, he is my local MP and not interested in this end of the electorate as there are bugger all votes up here for him......
@Rachel Dickson Mate, if you think old mate's response was brilliant, then good on you. It's gratifying to see someone live their pathetic lives in ignorance........
@@Sweetlyfe Are you kidding? If you are a Victorian and have had to endure all the lockdowns like we did it is not being political it’s just facts. Everything Peter from GW said is spot on and did happen.
Melissa, Thank you for your part in Mike & Molly. It was a brilliant comedy with superb script-writing, great casting and acting, encouraging the viewer to empathise and sympathise with all of the characters. Best of luck for the future. You’re welcome to come and visit Australia any time. PS. If you need any free Aussie accent coaching, just PM me. XD
The shoe thing is so accurate and I didn’t realise it’s weird to be barefoot I literally don’t wear shoes unless I’m going somewhere fancy or I’m walking for awhile
@@iggyblitz8739 what is that one place? Australia? haha the East Coast? Loads of people go bare foot all over the country, people have been walking bare foot in Australia since the first people walked in Australia
@@danielkelly8870Well you don't in the city unless you want to risk cutting yourself or stepping in dog shit. you are living in La La land if you think millions go barefoot, maybe in holiday areas but not in general.
@@adoreslaurel I said loads of people, not millions, also I live in a city and see many, like myself, going around bare foot, anywhere you go bare foot there's a possibility of stepping in or on something not nice, if people cared about that at all they would have worn shoes.
Hi Melissa, So glad you’re having fun here in Oz. I kinda love it too. You can stay here anytime. I hope you get to see a lot of the country while you’re here. If not, you’ll just have to keep coming back, right! I hope you get to see my state, Queensland is beautiful too. Everywhere is beautiful. Much love and hugs, I hope You, Ben and your two girls enjoy Australia. Have fun! ❤️❤️🐨❤️❤️
We love you too, Melissa! At least, I know I do (though I can’t imagine anyone not loving you!)!! It’s been lovely having you & seeing you champion us whenever you get the chance! Razor blades!!👍
This woman really comes across as someone who is genuinely beautiful, nothing fake about her unlike many who have one face for the camera and other for not., Oh, Cows in Australia are Moooooo not Mooarh??? Not sure where you hear that one :) Keep making my smile Ms McCarthy. Come her to live please. We need more people like yourself.
Love that you and your family are loving Australia. You would love Melbourne too if you ever get the opportunity, best coffee among many other things 🥰
I wonder if she's heard "jeet chet?" That one is a go-to for me when I come across foreigners, the look of utter confusion that crosses said foreigners face fills my little Ocka heart with joy! 🤣
We love you too Melissa, please don"t be a stranger to our wonderful country. I could never imagine living anywhere else. Just adore you sweetheart. You are a real bonza bird. ;)
"Rizor Blades" instantly reminded me of a couple of lines from the old BBC radio show, The Goon Show. The main character, Neddy Seagoon is taken out into the desert by an Australian guide. Neddy becomes suspicious of this and asks, "Have you lead me out into the desert to die?" To which the guide replies, "Orr yeah, to die or termorra."
I absolutely love you Melissa. I love that you love so much of our beautiful country too. You're always welcome here in our beautiful slice of heaven 😁
Aww Melissa, Thankyou, that was refreshing to hear and a lot of us Aussies LOVE YOU 😍. I’m glad you and hubby enjoyed yourselves here. Yes we do have some amazing birds. The magpies will bring their babies once you feed them and the entire family eventually 😳🤣🤦♀️ but still they will take some meat from your hand and look you in the eye...pretty special 💕
