It did not take a lot to invent a warm boot on a cold winter's day when you are surrounded by sheep skins (Ryan, Australia has more sheep than kangaroos and people combined).
They were used by early shepherds and any modern person in cold south-east regions and further north high country areas and also WW11 Australian pilots. Interesting point everybody, in Victoria, at least, were wearing home made sheepskin moccasins (moccas) as well, when I lived there during all of the 70's. Although nobody tried to take advantage and sue the Indian Nation of USA for breach of copyright, as far as I know. Uggs also make great footwear for the beach, hot or cold weather.
The full irony is that the inventor (or someone soon after) did try to copyright Ugg boots but the authorities said, “You can’t copyright that, it’s a TYPE of boot, not an individual unique style!” The US should never have let their company do it. Iggerent savages!
There was a huge influx of Europeans after WWII. Melbourne has the largest Greek population outside of Greece. A lot of Italians immigrated as well - some to work on the Snowy Mountain scheme.

If you didn't know Australian Capital Territory (ACT) was a state, that'd be because it's not. There are 6 states and 2 main territories. States vs territories are treated distinctly differently in the constitution. Northern Territory and ACT have been self governing for some years, though they never used to be in the more distant past. There are quite a few other technical inaccuracies in this video.
Hi Ryan, you are correct; the Australian Capital Territory, as the name suggests, is a territory, not a state. Same with the Northern Territory. There are six states, not eight. So much for 1010 "facts". It's not just Antarctica that is cold. The southern parts of Australia, including Victoria and Tasmania have fairly cold winters. There is also a greater area of snow cover in Australia (in the mountains in winter) than Switzerland. Asian religions? Depends what part of Asia you are from. I think most Hindus would be from the Indian subcontinent, Buddhists in South East and East Asia, Muslims in the Middle East, Central Asia and Indonesia (except Bali; I think they are mainly Hindu), Shinto in Japan, Catholic in the Philippines (except the South, where I think there are Muslims) and I guess there would be people with no religion in lots of these areas. Aussies pronounce Mount Kosciuszko "Koziosko". I presume that is pretty far from how Mr Kosciuszko (a Pole) would have pronounced it. Uluru/Ayers (pronounced "Airs", by the way) is 2,831 ft (863 m) above sea level but only 1141 ft (348 m) above the surrounding plain. Since it is very far from the sea, the latter seems more relevant. Arguably, the title of world's largest rock actually goes to Mount Augustus in Western Australia, which is 2.5 times larger than Uluru. There's a long history of Italian migration to Australia, especially after WWII. 30% of Australians were born overseas, so, yeah, lots of people in Australia speak lots of languages. Some would only speak it at home but there are plenty of Aussies who only speak a non-English language. I am a doctor and we frequently require interpreters for our (mostly, but not always, older) patients. The common languages are Italian, Greek, Vietnamese, various Chinese dialects, Hindi and Arabic. I think the death from horses would most be from falls but the deaths from cattle would be from crushing between a cow and a stockyard fence. Kind of silly saying that the eastern brown snake has the second deadliest venom in the world when the one with the deadliest venom, the taipan, is also Australian. No, you can buy a handbag made from any Australian snake skin, since they are protected. Koalas are koalas, not koala bears. Hi Ryan, hate to spoil your party regarding the USA not being the most obese country in the world, but the source you looked at literally shows an American territory (American Samoa) as the most obese place in the world. In addition to cask wine, wifi and Ugg boots, Australians invented the flight data recorder (black box), plane escape raft, ultrasound machine, plastic spectacles, motor mower, electric drill, rotary clothes line, stump jump plough and cervical cancer (human papilloma virus) vaccine.
We have 45k deer in Australia. The red back spider is about the most docile spider you will come across, because everything around it is terrified of it, it is really quite placid and not remotely aggressive. The funnel web is aggressive, it will chase you.

@@Jeb.07 "to the average Aussie there is 0 difference between a state and territory" So you're saying that an average Aussie is ignorant of the difference? What do they teach them in school these days? The states are the original British colonies that united to form a federation. They are fully self-governing, not subject to Canberra. The territories are under the control of Canberra, which has granted them a fair degree of self-government, but they remain subject to Canberra. Then there are the external territories, including Christmas Island and the Australian Antarctic Territory.
I remember wearing Ugg boots in the early 80s. We wore them as slippers and bought them from the Oak factory (a place that sold flavoured milks) this was a country town. I read that Uggs officially sold from 1978 but have been around since the early 1900s. We wore Ughs inside the house. It was Americans wearing them outside that we didn't quite understand.
Uggs were part of the surf culture worn in the winter when it was cold at the beach they were taken back to California by some US surfers in the 70s a shoe manufacturer over there registered the name UGG and started marketing them worldwide as their own. They are actually traditional sheepskin footwear originally worn by sheep farmers in Australia in the early 1900s. I am 68 and wore uggs that a mates old man used to make for us back in the 60s. Australia and NZ manufactures can no longer market their products anywhere outside of these 2 countries using the name UGG Boot - when you have Americans as friends who needs enemies.
@@StephenMcGregor1986 I grew up on a property and at 9years old would catch snakes for the CSIRO {Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation} in Canberra Australia, for their research. Was good pocket money! Later in life I became a Park Ranger in Canberra, ACT Parks and Conservation. Many relocations of snakes and education of snakes to school children etc. Loved it, but I'm far too slow nowadays haha 🙄
Not everywhere is 100 degrees! A lot of places get down to single digits and below in winter, we have plenty of sheep so the Ugg boot makes sense. There was actually a trademark dispute between Australia and the US about it as the original trademark in Australia was for Ugh -boot not Ugg-Boot.
I think you are mixing units, Ryan never remembers that Oz is metric (just like he never remembers how to pronounce "emu"), he was obviously using Fahrenheit when saying 100 degrees and single digits and below would be
@@vtbn53 I also did a quick google out of interest.....The lowest minimum temperature was −23.0 °C (−9.4 °F) at Charlotte Pass on 29 June 1994 in the Snowy Mountains.
Yeah, we were wearing "Ugg" boots in the 1970's Ryan, men and women both, (I had a favourite pair back in my school days) we know they caught on much much later around the world but, for us, they were "old hat" (sorry about the clothing related pun)
You did pretty well with Mount Kosciuszko (though I think that bloke was joking.) My Polish friends say something like "ko-SHOO-skoe", but most Australians say, "kozzie-USS-koe". With people who speak languages other than English, we don't have anything quite akin to what you seem to have in the US, where an entire village or district is German or Japanese speaking or whatever -- apart from a couple of towns like Hahndorf in South Australia (a lovely town, by the way) where German and Wendish speakers escaping religious persecution in Germany in the 1870s and 1880s settled. But these languages are no longer widely spoken there. After WWII a lot of migrants came from Europe. Where I lived there were lots of Italians and Maltese, but they would settle among the older Australians. For example, you might find three streets in a town which were maybe 70% Poles and Czechs, mixed together, 25% Anglo Australians, and a the rest immigrants from England -- then the next few streets might be 60% Anglo-Australians, 30% immigrants from England and 10^ Italians. Where the Italians and Maltese often came from rural situations, and many went into small farming (which was what brought them to my town, which had areas not unlike Tuscany at the time) more of the Germans. Dutch, Poles, Czechs were from urban backgrounds and tended to settle in suburbs where they could afford to buy. They often set up clubs, were active in churches, started small businesses to cater for their ethnic groups, but rarely tried to live in ethnospecific geographical groupings.
We have 6 states and multiple territories, the Northern Territory and the ACT are just the two largest. He's mispronouncing both names of Uluru/Ayers rock. And he mis-pronounced the mountain name too. Love his terminology for the spiders "Except for the guy who died no-one died.". The alcohol cliché about America is that you all love this stuff that you THINK is a beer, tastes like urine, but you still somehow manage to get drunk and stupid off it. :)
Thunder Storm Asthma is a bit more recent thing that happens when the weather is warm and there’s been a lot of pollen in the air probably from winds I think and we have thunder storms. And yep I am from Melbourne and it’s more common down our neck of the woods. A lot were hospitalised in the year it mentioned.
Some immigrants speak their own language at home and English when they need to. I used to live in an area where there were a lot of Italians and when I went to the supermarket, the customers and staff all spoke Italian to each other and called me "Signora". 😊
The Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territories aren’t States (clue,the word “Territory” gives it away). They are self-governed, but are under the authority of the Commonwealth Government.

Was walking home from school down a steep hill in a reasonably dense suburb. In order to not walk on the road, i'd walk between the high fences and the power pole, slapping the pole as i walk past like any good kid does. My head is very very itchy for no reason so i raise both hands, almost as of i'm boxing as i walk between one particular thick wooden power pols and a tall wooden fence. BAM i instantly stop as i felt the very recognisable feel for spider web all over my outer arms. Giant spider about with a body the size of an adult fist and legs big enough to touch both my arms. It was clearly female because all it's babies were shaken off the web since it took a split second to stop moving. I have no idea why it didn't jump on me, but I became shirtless very quickly as i was running and even though i got them off me quickly (the swarm seemed too young to bite), i felt them in my hair for the entire afternoon/night. Enjoy the nightmares, i did.
In Australia we pronounce it like this. Kozzie osco. Though it is spelled in a different manner. I hope this helps. I love your channel Ryan, and I seem to watch your releases daily.
Ugg boots began in 1933 in the Blue Mountains (west of Sydney), although Australians have been wearing sheepskin boots since the 19th century. They were particularly popular among Aussie surfers in the 1970s.
Melbourne has a high Italian population. Pretty sure they’re the ones speaking Italian. As all the other nationalities would be speaking their languages amongst them selves. Some omens them are also taught in schools. My kids learnt Japanese and Indonesian. Yes we eat both of the animals on our emblem, emus not as common as kangaroo.
My fathers friend started making ugg boats back in the early 60s he got a pattern on them and made a fortune by the 70s they were every where his na.e was Kevin savage
My family emigrated to Australia in 1968 when I was 11 years old. The population in that year hit 12 million but has now more than doubled to an estimated 27 million (as you mentioned).
My fave American.....Mark Twain ( not his real name) came to Australia and wrote a FAB book about it. One curious statistic he noted was the number of religions registered in our Census.....27. Or was it 72 ?
Did you know that in Australian school you can learn Japanese Spanish French and depending on the area you can speak some indigenous languages Chinese and yeah depending on the school you go to
Spiders. There have been no funnel web deaths since 1980 when the antivenin became available and before that there were only 13 recorded. The redback spider death in 2016 was from a secondary infection, it was the first redback death in 61 years after the redback antivenin was introduced in 1956.
I used to catch redback spiders by hand as a kid when I found them in my bedroom. Have also had an eastern brown snake crawl out of the palm frond I was moving in my backyard a few years ago. I live in one of the big cities. And it's pronounced Cozzy osko.
Uggs - I wear uggs year round at night time - tad warm during summer but still wear. Plus during other 6 months I wear as fashion during day - they look pretty good u no - the knee high black ones anyway.
Emu is like an overgrown Turkey 🤣 There are loads of them roaming wild not too far from my location but I don't shoot them for food. It's just nice to see them.
Oi Ryan!! I like your relaxed attitude to watching this video!! In my homeland of Aussie, I feel the need to ask, “ARE YOU PISSED MATE?” If so, good onya and I think you need a couple more mate!!!! 👍🍺
They forgot to mention that it was the Emu's that won the war 😅 Ugg boots are needed in some parts of Aus. The Southernmost states get pretty cold in winter, especially Tassie.

There's estimated to be some where near 10000 different species of spiders in Australia, not 1500. . The anti vemon for funnel web spiders was developed and first used in the early 80s, and the antivenom for red backs created in the 50s. This would be the primary factor that there hasn't been more deaths.
Re: languages spoken….it is more about what language is spoken in the home than publicly….i am married to an Italian (born in Australia from Italian parents). He was sent to Italian lessons as a child…but didn’t do well enough to get us though a trip to Italy a few year ago! Lol but he is seen as Italian! I was born in Denmark and spoke Swedish and Danish when I came to Australia, but my parents discouraged anything other than English….so I only speak English now, but I my original languages would be considered 2 of those many languages ‘spoken’ in Australia. Everyone who has decided to make this amazing country home are different….but this is my story. Ps….we are an open country, our arms are open to all who want to call Australia home, contribute to it and love it. You have elections that are pretty terrifying in one 2 weeks. I predict that if Trump wins a lot of US citizens will want to leave and eventually ‘flee’. Please consider Australia as a safe and welcoming alternative. We understand how hard this is, and we will love and support you all the way.
Correct (Polish) pronunciation: Kos-CHOOSH-ko. Common Aussie pronunciation: Kozzy-OS-ko. Mt Kosciusko was named after a famous Polish poet by a Polish explorer, Pawel Strzelecki (correctly pronounced PA-vel stche-LET-skee, but most Aussies pronounce it strez-LEK-kee)
Fun fact: the Australian government did a survey on what religion your in. And there is a customs button and many people put their religion as the force. Fun fact 2: Australia has a really old German town in South Australia called handurf.
Even the English get it wrong. Mt Kosciuszko: There is no Costco on the mountain. It is said Mount Koz...ee...osco. Uluru: is said ooola...roo. Ayers Rock: is said Airs Rock. Cheers. 😁

"to the average Aussie there is 0 difference between a state and territory"
So you're saying that an average Aussie is ignorant of the difference? What do they teach them in school these days?
The states are the original British colonies that united to form a federation. They are fully self-governing, not subject to Canberra. The territories are under the control of Canberra, which has granted them a fair degree of self-government, but they remain subject to Canberra.
Then there are the external territories, including Christmas Island and the Australian Antarctic Territory.
Lots of people speak Italian in Australia due to large immigration post war. Someone I used to work with her mother only spoke Italian
True, I know of a number of elderly Italians, usually the women who have lived out here for fifty plus years and can barely speak a word of English.
I remember wearing Ugg boots in the early 80s. We wore them as slippers and bought them from the Oak factory (a place that sold flavoured milks) this was a country town. I read that Uggs officially sold from 1978 but have been around since the early 1900s. We wore Ughs inside the house. It was Americans wearing them outside that we didn't quite understand.
Uggs were part of the surf culture worn in the winter when it was cold at the beach they were taken back to California by some US surfers in the 70s a shoe manufacturer over there registered the name UGG and started marketing them worldwide as their own. They are actually traditional sheepskin footwear originally worn by sheep farmers in Australia in the early 1900s. I am 68 and wore uggs that a mates old man used to make for us back in the 60s. Australia and NZ manufactures can no longer market their products anywhere outside of these 2 countries using the name UGG Boot - when you have Americans as friends who needs enemies.
And nobody in Oz was ALLOWED to copyright them because they’d been endemic for so long
The man with the spider bite from 2016 actually died from a secondary infection, not the spider bite itself. And he wasn't that well to begin with.
I had ugg boots when I was a kid in the 70's. They were big in the 70's.
In in my primary school we were taught Italian and even had like Italian days where we would do different Italian things
Imagine getting the drumstick when you're having Emu for dinner😲
The meat is very stringy.
Our paper, well now plastic, currency used to say Commonwealth of Australia at the top.
Commonwealth of Australia just called Australia like The United States Of America is commonly just called America.
I suppose I should stop being annoyed by that, then.
As if Canada, Paraguay & Uruguay & the other (20? 30?) countries don’t exist
I worked at the place where the Taps for the Boxed Wine where made, the fella sold the world wide rights to it in the 70s or 80s for about $10k, OUCH.
All snakes are protected in Australia, you can't have their skins for fashion.
double protected both at state and federal (EPBC Act) levels
@@StephenMcGregor1986 I grew up on a property and at 9years old would catch snakes for the CSIRO {Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation} in Canberra Australia, for their research. Was good pocket money! Later in life I became a Park Ranger in Canberra, ACT Parks and Conservation. Many relocations of snakes and education of snakes to school children etc. Loved it, but I'm far too slow nowadays haha 🙄
Not everywhere is 100 degrees! A lot of places get down to single digits and below in winter, we have plenty of sheep so the Ugg boot makes sense. There was actually a trademark dispute between Australia and the US about it as the original trademark in Australia was for Ugh -boot not Ugg-Boot.
I think you are mixing units, Ryan never remembers that Oz is metric (just like he never remembers how to pronounce "emu"), he was obviously using Fahrenheit when saying 100 degrees and single digits and below would be
@@vtbn53 Yes I am - knowingly..... I get single digits (celsius) in winter where I live and we get below as in minus whatever (celsius too) in places
@@vtbn53 I also did a quick google out of interest.....The lowest minimum temperature was −23.0 °C (−9.4 °F) at Charlotte Pass on 29 June 1994 in the Snowy Mountains.
😂😂😂 Ryan you mentioned the weather down here im in Melbourne your right it is warming up its also pissin rain but its kinda warm
For the lucky ones who missed the golf ball sized hail, but hey spring can be anything.
@@GrethCunnington I'm in outer northern suburbs I haven't noticed any hail
Love when u upload !!! always look forward to what i can learn about my own country lolol
SO TRUE!
Yeah, we were wearing "Ugg" boots in the 1970's Ryan, men and women both, (I had a favourite pair back in my school days) we know they caught on much much later around the world but, for us, they were "old hat" (sorry about the clothing related pun)
You did pretty well with Mount Kosciuszko (though I think that bloke was joking.)
My Polish friends say something like "ko-SHOO-skoe", but most Australians say, "kozzie-USS-koe".
With people who speak languages other than English, we don't have anything quite akin to what you seem to have in the US, where an entire village or district is German or Japanese speaking or whatever -- apart from a couple of towns like Hahndorf in South Australia (a lovely town, by the way) where German and Wendish speakers escaping religious persecution in Germany in the 1870s and 1880s settled. But these languages are no longer widely spoken there.
After WWII a lot of migrants came from Europe. Where I lived there were lots of Italians and Maltese, but they would settle among the older Australians. For example, you might find three streets in a town which were maybe 70% Poles and Czechs, mixed together, 25% Anglo Australians, and a the rest immigrants from England -- then the next few streets might be 60% Anglo-Australians, 30% immigrants from England and 10^ Italians.
Where the Italians and Maltese often came from rural situations, and many went into small farming (which was what brought them to my town, which had areas not unlike Tuscany at the time) more of the Germans. Dutch, Poles, Czechs were from urban backgrounds and tended to settle in suburbs where they could afford to buy.
They often set up clubs, were active in churches, started small businesses to cater for their ethnic groups, but rarely tried to live in ethnospecific geographical groupings.
We have 6 states and multiple territories, the Northern Territory and the ACT are just the two largest.
He's mispronouncing both names of Uluru/Ayers rock. And he mis-pronounced the mountain name too.
Love his terminology for the spiders "Except for the guy who died no-one died.".
The alcohol cliché about America is that you all love this stuff that you THINK is a beer, tastes like urine, but you still somehow manage to get drunk and stupid off it. :)
Foot path, Ryan, not Sidewalk 😂
Ooh, that’s one I missed.
Thunder Storm Asthma is a bit more recent thing that happens when the weather is warm and there’s been a lot of pollen in the air probably from winds I think and we have thunder storms. And yep I am from Melbourne and it’s more common down our neck of the woods. A lot were hospitalised in the year it mentioned.
At the 2021 Australian census, 1,108,364 people nominated Italian ancestry
Some immigrants speak their own language at home and English when they need to. I used to live in an area where there were a lot of Italians and when I went to the supermarket, the customers and staff all spoke Italian to each other and called me "Signora". 😊
The Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territories aren’t States (clue,the word “Territory” gives it away). They are self-governed, but are under the authority of the Commonwealth Government.
Random fact: the king and queen of England are coming to Australia soon - react to that Ryan 😊
Also fact: our premier or whatever she is; Jecinta Allan can't be bothered seeing them 🤭
If Ryan reacts, that'd bring the count of people that reacted to .... one.
@@jaejadejaden The King and Queen of Australia arrive in Sydney today where they will rest for the weekend. None of the State premiers are going to the official welcome hosted by the PM at Parliament House in Canberra on Monday and only the Premier of NSW will be hosting them in Sydney on Tuesday before they fly out for CHOGM in Samoa on Wednesday.
@RJM56 wow that's sad yes only a short trip I'm sad thay cancelled new zealand part but understand
@@gwendixon74, we’ll they’re pretty old, can’t do everything.
Probably won’t be back, either, though I wish they could come for a long stay sometime. I can’t see Charles retiring after waiting so long, but that would be nice for them.
Hey Ryan from South Australia 😊. Languages of all sorts are everywhere. Try to avoid driving kangaroo (especially red) and emu's. Oh Ryan you need to experience Australia 🌏🦘 you, your wife and baby Ryan.
Australian's also invented Refrigeration, Lawn mowers, Black Box Flight recorder, Cloths line hoist, The UTE (utility vehicle 1932) Penicillin (Walter Florey) just to name a few.
Cheers Ryan! 🤗 The video was very entertaining rather than factual, but it's mostly true - although now out of date! The first visitors were New Guineans then Zambians, the first Europeans were Portugese, New Holland was only Western Australia! Lots of negative comments here, but I'm looking forward to Part 2, maybe they will now discover Tasmania! 🙋
0nly 6 states and 2 internal territories. Uluru is not the largest rock in Australia. It is the second largest.
Mt Augustus. WA forever.
It’s just not as accessible, doesn’t have a big town only 300 flat k’s away.
Was walking home from school down a steep hill in a reasonably dense suburb. In order to not walk on the road, i'd walk between the high fences and the power pole, slapping the pole as i walk past like any good kid does. My head is very very itchy for no reason so i raise both hands, almost as of i'm boxing as i walk between one particular thick wooden power pols and a tall wooden fence. BAM i instantly stop as i felt the very recognisable feel for spider web all over my outer arms. Giant spider about with a body the size of an adult fist and legs big enough to touch both my arms. It was clearly female because all it's babies were shaken off the web since it took a split second to stop moving. I have no idea why it didn't jump on me, but I became shirtless very quickly as i was running and even though i got them off me quickly (the swarm seemed too young to bite), i felt them in my hair for the entire afternoon/night. Enjoy the nightmares, i did.
I ended up in the emergency ward during the thunderstorm asthma. It was actually really serious and people died as a result.
koalas are NOT bears, they are marsupials
Except those damn drop bears... 😂
@@wilsonperez2668 are .. yes .. very true 🤣
The consensus would ask what each citizen is their first language. Hence the result.
In Australia we pronounce it like this. Kozzie osco. Though it is spelled in a different manner. I hope this helps. I love your channel Ryan, and I seem to watch your releases daily.
A collection of EXTREMELY wrong pronunciations!
8:52 : Cozzie - Costco 💀
9:22 : Ooo - loo - roo 😭
11:49 : Ee - moo
14:50 : HorT - Zes 🐴
Ugg boots began in 1933 in the Blue Mountains (west of Sydney), although Australians have been wearing sheepskin boots since the 19th century. They were particularly popular among Aussie surfers in the 1970s.
you can also see the great barrier reef from space
oh he already said after lol
My cat brought home two snakes last week, one red belly black snake and an eastern brown snake.
fun fact! there is no snake in australia that they dont have anti-venom for
Melbourne has a high Italian population. Pretty sure they’re the ones speaking Italian. As all the other nationalities would be speaking their languages amongst them selves. Some omens them are also taught in schools. My kids learnt Japanese and Indonesian.
Yes we eat both of the animals on our emblem, emus not as common as kangaroo.
My fathers friend started making ugg boats back in the early 60s he got a pattern on them and made a fortune by the 70s they were every where his na.e was Kevin savage

Also Ryan: *Stops to imagine* 😂
My family emigrated to Australia in 1968 when I was 11 years old. The population in that year hit 12 million but has now more than doubled to an estimated 27 million (as you mentioned).
Melbourne was the capital for the first 26 years until Canberra was built!
My fave American.....Mark Twain ( not his real name) came to Australia and wrote a FAB book about it. One curious statistic he noted was the number of religions registered in our Census.....27. Or was it 72 ?
Did you know that in Australian school you can learn Japanese Spanish French and depending on the area you can speak some indigenous languages Chinese and yeah depending on the school you go to
Lol, we couldn't beat them in the Emu wars, we just eat them.
Most Asians I've met here aren't religious, but the ones that are are usually Buddhist or Christian. Hindus are usually going to be Indian.
18:13 I was there during that event! It was quite pretty, the lightning never making contact with the ground, just shooting across the skies.
Spiders. There have been no funnel web deaths since 1980 when the antivenin became available and before that there were only 13 recorded. The redback spider death in 2016 was from a secondary infection, it was the first redback death in 61 years after the redback antivenin was introduced in 1956.
You were right to suspect him saying that the ACT is a state. It's not. It's a territory the same as the Northern Territory - also not a state.
I used to catch redback spiders by hand as a kid when I found them in my bedroom. Have also had an eastern brown snake crawl out of the palm frond I was moving in my backyard a few years ago. I live in one of the big cities. And it's pronounced Cozzy osko.
Cossi osko
Burringurrah Mt Augustus is the biggest rock in the world.
Uggs - I wear uggs year round at night time - tad warm during summer but still wear. Plus during other 6 months I wear as fashion during day - they look pretty good u no - the knee high black ones anyway.
Wool is a great insulator which is why they're wearable in all seasons. Does get a bit much in summer though😂
Emu is like an overgrown Turkey 🤣
There are loads of them roaming wild not too far from my location
but I don't shoot them for food.
It's just nice to see them.

Australia has 3 mainland territories not 2..And Territories are not classified as states.As the name says they are territories!
The “difficult to pronounce Mt Kosciuszko” - and then he pronounced it completely wrong 😂
Oi Ryan!! I like your relaxed attitude to watching this video!! In my homeland of Aussie, I feel the need to ask, “ARE YOU PISSED MATE?” If so, good onya and I think you need a couple more mate!!!! 👍🍺

They forgot to mention that it was the Emu's that won the war 😅 Ugg boots are needed in some parts of Aus. The Southernmost states get pretty cold in winter, especially Tassie.

28:10 It also wasn’t paradise back then. And the criminals were essentially slaves who died in herds because of mistreatment and the hardships of a land they had no idea how to survive upon.

I have been wearing Ugg boots since 1983 because they were very popular here long before America had ever heard of them.

There's estimated to be some where near 10000 different species of spiders in Australia, not 1500. . The anti vemon for funnel web spiders was developed and first used in the early 80s, and the antivenom for red backs created in the 50s. This would be the primary factor that there hasn't been more deaths.
Re: languages spoken….it is more about what language is spoken in the home than publicly….i am married to an Italian (born in Australia from Italian parents). He was sent to Italian lessons as a child…but didn’t do well enough to get us though a trip to Italy a few year ago! Lol but he is seen as Italian!
I was born in Denmark and spoke Swedish and Danish when I came to Australia, but my parents discouraged anything other than English….so I only speak English now, but I my original languages would be considered 2 of those many languages ‘spoken’ in Australia.
Everyone who has decided to make this amazing country home are different….but this is my story.
Ps….we are an open country, our arms are open to all who want to call Australia home, contribute to it and love it.
You have elections that are pretty terrifying in one 2 weeks. I predict that if Trump wins a lot of US citizens will want to leave and eventually ‘flee’.
Please consider Australia as a safe and welcoming alternative. We understand how hard this is, and we will love and support you all the way.
Correct (Polish) pronunciation: Kos-CHOOSH-ko. Common Aussie pronunciation: Kozzy-OS-ko. Mt Kosciusko was named after a famous Polish poet by a Polish explorer, Pawel Strzelecki (correctly pronounced PA-vel stche-LET-skee, but most Aussies pronounce it strez-LEK-kee)
Fun fact: the Australian government did a survey on what religion your in. And there is a customs button and many people put their religion as the force.
Fun fact 2: Australia has a really old German town in South Australia called handurf.
Even the English get it wrong.
Mt Kosciuszko: There is no Costco on the mountain. It is said Mount Koz...ee...osco.
Uluru: is said ooola...roo.
Ayers Rock: is said Airs Rock. Cheers. 😁
Here in Australia boxed wine is called a Goon Bag!😊❤
Off topic…you have brilliant blue eyes! ❤
A koala is not a bear. Facts should be correct.
Never heard Mount Kosciuszko pronounced like that 😂
