The "Controversy" over keeping cats inside, is cause they're in no way native here and are overkilling native wildlife to the point that they're becoming endangered. Not just birds mate. Possums, bats, lizards, small rodents. So many Native Aussie animals are small creatures that cannot defend themselves against cats. The only native carnivorous mammals are the Tassie Devils, Eastern Quolls, bandicoots and the Potoroo. Cats and dogs (even our Dingos way back) were all introduced and the wildlife just isn't equipped to handle it.
Cats sleep most of the time so why don’t the lazy owners provide a litter box get them desexed to stop them breeding and roaming around killing native birds, lizards in anything they get their claws into. Surely responsible owners can supervise for an hour or two while they go outside too.
@@CatsandJP They will kill things whether they breed or not. A cat can get away even if being supervised unless you have them on a leash or in a yard with a climb proofed fence. Keep your cats indoors.
@@chloenelson3951You are giving advice to a person who was born a long time from yesterday and I have had many cats in my lifetime…so I do know what a responsible pet owners is, how to,look after them properly and train them properly so they do not become the neighbourhood nuisance.
The dessert is Trifle. Layers of cake, jelly (jello ),fruit, custard, cream, topped with berries or grated chocolate or sprinkles. The cake is often soaked in alcohol, either sherry or rum
I love the trifle being called a summertime Christmas dessert. Sure we throw a few berries on it but it is very much a British dessert. The trifle we have now started in the 18th century with versions of it going back to at least the 1500s.
I keep my cat inside, and woke up to a mess of bird feathers and a bird foot. Cats are predators, many of our native animals are small marsupials. Check out Phascogales, Sugar Gliders, Pygmy Possums etc

Hey mate, the traditional meaning of boxing day goes back to the 1700s when the rich people used to box up their leftovers to give to the poor....but in Australia it means cricket
Boxing Day is an English traditional holiday for the staff of grand and Noble households, big country estates etc. After running ragged on Christmas day the staff could box up the uneaten foods, and go home with treats to family. And the rich struggled to get by with no servants and cold foods for the day.
I'm pretty sure Australia is still number 1 for animals on the endangered list. Other countries look down on us because of this even tho they've done the same thing. Oz wildlife is super sensitive because it has evolved for so long isolated and has no real defenses against never before seen threats. pest get to plague proportions here. mice, prickly pear was once controlled with arsenic. We built the worlds longest fence, longer then the great wall of China to keep out 1 pest. Biosecurity is a BIG game in Oz. When I look outside it looks nothing like it would have 100 years ago, eveything is an introduced pest, even the grass.
I believe we Australians are an endangered species..simply because there is no other species like the true blue dinky di good old Aussie….especially our gift with slang and innuendo we have.
Trifle was a way of using up left over stale cake thats why it is soaked in sherry to make it soft again and everyone had strawberry jam and tinned peaches and lived on custard and whipped cream and crushed peanuts and put it all together in layers dont waste anything. Yum.
Feral cats kill billions of native animals each year, including over 1.5 billion mammals, birds, reptiles, and frogs, and 1.1 billion invertebrates. They are a major threat to over 200 threatened species, including the bilby, numbat, and Gilbert's potoroo. Feral cats have also contributed to the extinction of more than 20 Australian mammal species.
13:00 Actually just yesterday I noticed that Cadbury 180gm blocks are now $7 in supermarkets. WTF. That's higher than servo prices. That's in addition to shrinkage inflation. These blocks used to be 250gm. Then 220gm. Then 200gm. Now 180. I guess it's healthier, lol.
The price two years ago was $2.50 (on "special") and now it's 2x $9 or 3x$15. Smaller and more expensive seems to be the norm for most things these days. It's gotta stop. The supermarkets are out of control.
Ooh yum, a trifle... We had our with strawberry shortcake roll, plum, fig, strawberries and crushed peanuts this year (we had a seperate bowl with the peanuts so you could add it to the top if you wanted). We didn't have a Pavlova tho so we had mini pavs with cream, starwberries, mango slices and passionfruit!
The term 'Boxing Day' comes from the tradition of giving 'Christmas boxes,' which are gifts or donations given to servants, tradespeople, and the less fortunate. Employers would present these boxes as a token of gratitude for their service throughout the year.
Did you know sir John Monash commanded American troops in ww1 it was the only time a foreign general was in command of the U.S troops, when the order came down for the Americans to stand down and not fight with the Australian general, they ignored the order and half of them ditched the American uniform to put on an Australian one because they didn’t want to miss out on fighting with sir John Monash and the Australian battalion
Aldi may be cheaper, but they don't have everything. Personally, I go to Drakes because a) they are within walking distance of my house and b) they have vegies that are edible - Coles & Woollies sell carrots that you could use to build a shed
There are wheelchairs made for the water and the beach..the late Fiona McDonald used one and so has Miriam Margolyes in her many trips are Australia…in many Aquatic Centres they have them and a ramp for disabled people too.
Try the generic version they are often made by the same company but just don’t have the fancy name/label because they just change the packaging machines to refer the brand…I did marketing as part of my degree.
That’s debatable…there are quite a few viscous species lurking around in shopping centres ready to abuse you if you accidentally bump them with your trolly or accidentally run into them because your trolly has wonky wheels, or they abuse you because they think you stole their car park they had their eye on first. 😹😹
Love your streams. I'm Aussie born and old but you always tell me something I didn't know.

4:25 Specials change everything though. This is borderline misleading. Coles & Woolies have heavy discounts regularly. If you shop there all the time you get used to it and buy accordingly. I reckon overall it works out almost the same cost as Aldi, or cheaper. Plus you're getting the brands you want.
You need need Specsavers..ever read the labels at Coles/Woolies…contain X amount from wherever…or a % of overseas ingredients…peaches/cherries products of America in June/July…seafood imported from Thailand…tinned fruit from China…asparagus from Peru…cheese “Pecorino” from Italy…even Goldern Circle is now owned by US Kraft Heinz…Edgell corn/beetroot owned by Smilott in America but packed in Bathurst NSW..Aldi has a lot of German goods because they are 2 German families who own it…(similar to Lidl)..Even our Sterling brand bar frig from Aldi is made in Germany but with the Australian plug and required voltage.
@@CatsandJP I do read the labels. I shop at Aldi. Like I said, they do sell many products from overseas but it’s nowhere near 90%. Conversely, it pays to read the labels of the products people buy at the other places. Many are imported also, especially “no frills” products.
I sympathise with the alpaca walker. When I walked an Irish Wolfhound I was so fed up with people saying "why don't you put a saddle on it?". I would often say "That's the most original thing I've heard for ...oh, about five seconds." Folklore for jacarandas blooming: Sydney University students had to start studying for end of year exams by the time the jacarandas on campus began to flower. Sydney jacarandas have finished flowering and are now in full leaf.
I had a Red Setter who are supposed to be a hunting dog with a sense of smell and direction…but she had absolute none of those traits other than jump the fence and bring home..a babies socks off someone’s line, a stuffed toy dragon dressed in tartan, a half eaten loaf of bread, a toy frying pan, someone’s smelly runner (the left foot) all of which I come home to after work placed on the back steps.
First time seeing a kangaroo 🦘 doing that Lol 😂, I think in my almost 65 years born and raised here in Australia, I’ve seen things I’ve never seen before, Thanks to Ryan Lol 😂, that was a Wombat and the dessert was called a Trifle, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to make it, just sponge cake, custard, jello, and fruit of your choice and layer it in a bowl with whipped cream on top, some get fancy pancy when making something so delicious 😋 just when it’s simple and easy and Cats 🐈 are a Pest, they’ll Poop 💩 in your garden and Pee on your Car wheels and it stinks plus they will attack the wildlife birds, obviously I’m Not A Cat Lover, Keep Your Cats Locked Away At Night…
I've been feeding possums...both brush tail and ring tails for nearly 40 yrs and in inner city tree lined sts.over past 10 yrs developers have been snapping up homes up for sale...ripping down and building high density high rise units that most tenants have cats and keep in all day and leave out at night.. this is highly illegal in our council and have specialist teams wt cages to catch unless you can provide full address for fines..in past few months I've been finding some sml ringtails and green frogs killed by cats and have wonderful council worker trying to help...I'm 80 and possums are my only joy as not too mobile for dog..and have hand raised 2 abandoned babies to find she was killed by cat..that image I will never forget..big grey brush tails will take cats on and win but doesn't help issue wt cats..we must preserved our wildlife and understand sometimes they are taken by snakes but that's our cycle of life NOT CATS.
As a uni student in the city, I cannot stress how much Aldi has saved me this year. I’m eating better food (quality is really no different than Cole’s but everything shits on Cole’s brand food), eating more food, and still saving more money with my shops. Everyone needs to start going to Aldi to show Cole’s and Woolies we don’t need them (of course only if an aldi is accessible to you)
3:07 that guy with alpaca was in my local Woolworths just before Christmas. Was quite weird browsing the chocolate aisle to have a big brown alpaca walk close by me. He had a Service Animal coat on. Channel Court,Kingston, Tasmania Woolworths to be exact.
Boxing Day was the result of giving servants boxed gifts the day after Christmas because they worked on Christmas to serve their employers, and I also heard that tradition was to leave boxed gifs at the steps of churches for the priests to give to the poor
Public toilets are designed like that, not just for aesthetics. It's also designed for the safety of users, especially children in parks and beach settings. It's so no one can hide or hang around the toilet block.
We got 4 chicken kievs from woolies at 1.30 each. The deli staff put on it 60+ on the tag. We went to customer service to get a refund…. I noticed when the price looked too much on the self checkout. We only had a few items 😂. The customer service staff were not impressed.
We go back to coles and woollies because there is always quiet a few things you can’t get at Aldi’s or taste terrible so we have to go to the main 2 anyway, so unless you have time to do your shopping at 2 places (especially anyone with kids) you only want to go to one shop to get everything.
But I've seen on several occasions where Coles or Woolies were directly next door to an Aldi. Here many people start at Aldi and then get the rest at another store if needed.
@ not at any places I’ve ever lived having followed my hubby around the country then did rural agency nursing so a lot of places. Your so lucky that they are in the same complex. As I still am one that does my meat from butchers (give him a list of what I want go and do my shopping then pick my meat up on the way back where I pass a fruit munger. So it’s great that you can get them in the same complex. 👏🥳🤗
@@beverleyjones4179 I only was on vacation in Australia travelling from Cairns to Adelaide. So I have seen lots of different places and some had them together. That is strange for me because at home they nearly always have a good distance between competing shops.
You were right - Coles and Woolworths have a dominating role in selling groceries. As to Lamas and so forth: The one l lama he's a priest The 2 l llama it's a beast But I will bet a pink pyjama There's no such thing as a 3 l lama (not written by me, but by some now unknown limerick writer, many years ago). To which the classic reply is "what about a 3 alarmer" which denotes an especially severe fire.
2 opposing teams, yes, but this is the 4th test starting on Boxing Day so AI needs to get better with it's description, the series starts annually about a month before boxing day. I think with the supermarkets, some or most people are set in their ways that only like specific brands so will go to that store to buy them, even though I should, to save a buck, I've only ever shopped in Aldi once and didn't know half the brands and had only half the stuff I was looking for that didn't appear....weird, but that's just a me factor to understand different names and presentation I guess. I can walk 5 mins to Woollies, 8 mins to Aldi or 15 mins to Coles....I go to woollies always because be fucked if I'm walking further than I need to for 10 bucks savings.
Most of ALDI stuff is branded stuff just in the ALDI box or container. I read recently choice magazine did a taste test with ALDI "crown" icecream and Cornetto blind test. ALDI came out on top again. You'll find many people shop at ALDI for fruit and veg which is Aussie and meats etc, they have brilliant cheeses etc too and coffee I love my ALDI coffee pod machine ! And then speciality items go elsewhere not too hard as where I live their in the same shopping centre. I do appreciate though for many this isn't a option. And people do like their bags packed for them. At ALDI you have to do it yourself but hey I don't mind if it saves me $$$ each week. My ALDI even has Vegemite !
Boxing day originated in the days of horse and cart.. you might travel days to spend christmas with family.. and the day after christmas box up all your goods and chattels to spend days travelling home again. Nowadays its popular as a public holiday.. so.. cricket... races.. regattas.. all sorts of activities..
That dessert is a Triffle On the bottom cake soaked with Sherry, fruit, custard & cream layers...some put jelly after the cake, go one step better, black cherries. Hhhmmm yummiest
Cryptocurrency is bringing a different revolution in the world economy, people who are optimistic investors earn consistently, others will just sit and watch
All thanks to Miss Brenda Hiscock, she has always been there to guide me through with detailed analysis and recommendations that I wouldn't have access to otherwise.
I'm lucky. I can walk out of Coles and straight into Aldi as they are next to each other. Cats are feral and are endangering the existence of native animals. There are around 20 million feral cats killing endangered native animals. Wombats are very fast animals. John Monash created modern warfare and was responsible for the allied success in WW1.
The Jacaranda tree is very common in Australia especially in the subtropics of Queensland and northern NSW. Watching movies and youtube videos I see them in LA as well. They are native of South America.
It's because there's no native cat at all on the Australian continent, so our animals, particularly small marsupials like the bilby and bandicoots, didn't evolve to have defenses against cats, so they're endangered species largely now due to domestic cats becoming a pest population. We do actually have local government laws that say that you need to keep your cat contained to your property and not let it wander the streets, but it's rarely enforced and a lot of people think it's fine to let their cat roam, despite dangers to their cats too, such as from other cats, or getting hit by a vehicle
Our birds are unique to Australia, many of them, as well as small nocturnal creatures, are endangered species and get killed by feral cats and cats whose owners let them out at night. There are no native cats in Australia, they were all introduced by humans.
The Aldi sticker is not that useless. Mostly it sticks on some left over articles where there are no shelf signs anymore. So only a price sticker (which they don't have, therefore the sales sticker).
I shop my favourite Australian brands because I know how they taste and I want that reliability. I never shop at Aldi, I leave them for Germany. IGA is independent and therefore has to charge more to stay in business. Good for emergencies. I’m still for Coles and Woolies.
You can see the problem with cats, right. Its our attitude - on one hand, everything native's a pest (emus, wallabies/roos, possum etc), but then the poor wildlife is being endangered. (They largely aren't actually pests, as such, rather its just that we like to take over their habitats). Attitudes seem to have changed a little over the last 50 years, and there is a little more consideration and seemingly less native-animal culls. I don't know for sure, it just seems that way... If the Koala goes extinct, then you'll know we tried too little, too late.
Australia does a great job of blending nature with infrastructure. So that is sometimes why you'll see kangaroos wild life around suburbs. Nearly everyone where I live has possums living in their roof. It is council law to keep cats inside.
Absolutely NO ONE says that others can't say Merry Christmas no matter where they are in Australia. They've been reading too many BS memes. .Yes, Aldi is a lot cheaper but sometimes you just can't find what you need due to Aldi's limited range.
That public toilet is at Fairlight pool a suburb of Manly I grew up near there and I used to ride my bike down the track nearly every morning and afternoon to go for a surf I'm now 58 and live on the other side of the country in Geraldton western Australia
@DeepThought9999 no on the way to Manly it's a walk way that went from Balgowlah to Manly but in saying that Fairlight does have a wave that breaks behind the pool on extreme southerly and I have surfed it on a number of occasions
9:38 - could be worse - I once accidentally posted a "special" on the website of the company i work for, that was actually more expensive than the retail price...... was a long time before anyone flagged me about it hahah.
Maybe it's my 1950s upbringing, but to have 1400 items from which to select what to eat (as at Aldi) seems more than adequate. Btw, economy of scale goes in favour of fewer items and bigger quantities of each. QED.
The issue with cats is that they are not native to this continent. Our native wildlife haven’t evolved to be defensive against them as there are no cat equivalent predators here. They literally kill millions of creatures EVERY DAY.

You need need Specsavers..ever read the labels at Coles/Woolies…contain X amount from wherever…or a % of overseas ingredients…peaches/cherries products of America in June/July…seafood imported from Thailand…tinned fruit from China…asparagus from Peru…cheese “Pecorino” from Italy…even Goldern Circle is now owned by US Kraft Heinz…Edgell corn/beetroot owned by Smilott in America but packed in Bathurst NSW..Aldi has a lot of German goods because they are 2 German families who own it…(similar to Lidl)..Even our Sterling brand bar frig from Aldi is made in Germany but with the Australian plug and required voltage.
@@LikkieAURead the labels..you will get a surprise what comes from where including %
@@CatsandJP I do read the labels. I shop at Aldi. Like I said, they do sell many products from overseas but it’s nowhere near 90%.
Conversely, it pays to read the labels of the products people buy at the other places. Many are imported also, especially “no frills” products.
Lucky your clothes, phone, petrol and car all come from Australia hey?
I sympathise with the alpaca walker. When I walked an Irish Wolfhound I was so fed up with people saying "why don't you put a saddle on it?". I would often say "That's the most original thing I've heard for ...oh, about five seconds."
Folklore for jacarandas blooming: Sydney University students had to start studying for end of year exams by the time the jacarandas on campus began to flower. Sydney jacarandas have finished flowering and are now in full leaf.
I had a Red Setter who are supposed to be a hunting dog with a sense of smell and direction…but she had absolute none of those traits other than jump the fence and bring home..a babies socks off someone’s line, a stuffed toy dragon dressed in tartan, a half eaten loaf of bread, a toy frying pan, someone’s smelly runner (the left foot) all of which I come home to after work placed on the back steps.

First time seeing a kangaroo 🦘 doing that Lol 😂, I think in my almost 65 years born and raised here in Australia, I’ve seen things I’ve never seen before, Thanks to Ryan Lol 😂, that was a Wombat and the dessert was called a Trifle, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to make it, just sponge cake, custard, jello, and fruit of your choice and layer it in a bowl with whipped cream on top, some get fancy pancy when making something so delicious 😋 just when it’s simple and easy and Cats 🐈 are a Pest, they’ll Poop 💩 in your garden and Pee on your Car wheels and it stinks plus they will attack the wildlife birds, obviously I’m Not A Cat Lover, Keep Your Cats Locked Away At Night…
With the cats at least in Tassie we have a very endangered bird called an Orange-bellied Parrot. Best the cats stay inside.
watching the cricket at the moment ..cheers
Aldi is about 30% less than Coles.
That wombat was camera shy 😂
Boxing day comes from England all the Lord's and higher classes boxed up their left over food from Christmas and gave it to the pesants

I've been feeding possums...both brush tail and ring tails for nearly 40 yrs and in inner city tree lined sts.over past 10 yrs developers have been snapping up homes up for sale...ripping down and building high density high rise units that most tenants have cats and keep in all day and leave out at night.. this is highly illegal in our council and have specialist teams wt cages to catch unless you can provide full address for fines..in past few months I've been finding some sml ringtails and green frogs killed by cats and have wonderful council worker trying to help...I'm 80 and possums are my only joy as not too mobile for dog..and have hand raised 2 abandoned babies to find she was killed by cat..that image I will never forget..big grey brush tails will take cats on and win but doesn't help issue wt cats..we must preserved our wildlife and understand sometimes they are taken by snakes but that's our cycle of life NOT CATS.
You can't get your " Favourites " at Aldi so, if ya have to go to the others.. well
It's absolutely one of the biggest days in Cricket! Boxing Day Test!
As a uni student in the city, I cannot stress how much Aldi has saved me this year. I’m eating better food (quality is really no different than Cole’s but everything shits on Cole’s brand food), eating more food, and still saving more money with my shops. Everyone needs to start going to Aldi to show Cole’s and Woolies we don’t need them (of course only if an aldi is accessible to you)
3:07 that guy with alpaca was in my local Woolworths just before Christmas. Was quite weird browsing the chocolate aisle to have a big brown alpaca walk close by me. He had a Service Animal coat on.
Channel Court,Kingston, Tasmania Woolworths to be exact.
Woolies opens at 6am weekdays, Aldi opens at 8:30am - it’s just practicality in my case.
Boxing Day was the result of giving servants boxed gifts the day after Christmas because they worked on Christmas to serve their employers, and I also heard that tradition was to leave boxed gifs at the steps of churches for the priests to give to the poor
It is a wombat don’t see them that often, if you run over one it will take the sump off your car.
I have never seen a live wombat in the wild, only in wildlife parks etc. I have however seen a huge amount of dead ones at the side of the road 😢.
Public toilets are designed like that, not just for aesthetics. It's also designed for the safety of users, especially children in parks and beach settings. It's so no one can hide or hang around the toilet block.
My personal policy I have enacted is to NOT buy timtams a six dollars. If everyone did the same they would be back to three dollars mighty quick.
I just ordered my “Happy arvo” T-shirt. Yay! Happy Christmas to me.
11:42 "Eyes front or you're next, kahnt!!"
We got 4 chicken kievs from woolies at 1.30 each. The deli staff put on it 60+ on the tag. We went to customer service to get a refund…. I noticed when the price looked too much on the self checkout. We only had a few items 😂. The customer service staff were not impressed.
Boxing Day is an old English tradition where people gave boxed gifts.
We go back to coles and woollies because there is always quiet a few things you can’t get at Aldi’s or taste terrible so we have to go to the main 2 anyway, so unless you have time to do your shopping at 2 places (especially anyone with kids) you only want to go to one shop to get everything.
But I've seen on several occasions where Coles or Woolies were directly next door to an Aldi. Here many people start at Aldi and then get the rest at another store if needed.
@ not at any places I’ve ever lived having followed my hubby around the country then did rural agency nursing so a lot of places. Your so lucky that they are in the same complex. As I still am one that does my meat from butchers (give him a list of what I want go and do my shopping then pick my meat up on the way back where I pass a fruit munger. So it’s great that you can get them in the same complex. 👏🥳🤗
@@beverleyjones4179 I only was on vacation in Australia travelling from Cairns to Adelaide. So I have seen lots of different places and some had them together.
That is strange for me because at home they nearly always have a good distance between competing shops.
You were right - Coles and Woolworths have a dominating role in selling groceries.
As to Lamas and so forth:
The one l lama he's a priest
The 2 l llama it's a beast
But I will bet a pink pyjama
There's no such thing as a 3 l lama (not written by me, but by some now unknown limerick writer, many years ago).
To which the classic reply is "what about a 3 alarmer" which denotes an especially severe fire.
I knew that one. You must be old, too?

Never stand between a wombat and his barrow. He does not swerve.
True that!
That trifle can be made with alcohol or without.
2 opposing teams, yes, but this is the 4th test starting on Boxing Day so AI needs to get better with it's description, the series starts annually about a month before boxing day.
I think with the supermarkets, some or most people are set in their ways that only like specific brands so will go to that store to buy them, even though I should, to save a buck, I've only ever shopped in Aldi once and didn't know half the brands and had only half the stuff I was looking for that didn't appear....weird, but that's just a me factor to understand different names and presentation I guess. I can walk 5 mins to Woollies, 8 mins to Aldi or 15 mins to Coles....I go to woollies always because be fucked if I'm walking further than I need to for 10 bucks savings.
I don’t shop at Aldi because I don’t recognise any of the brands.
Might try some ? Could save some dollars.
They have fruit and veg which are not “brands”
Most of ALDI stuff is branded stuff just in the ALDI box or container. I read recently choice magazine did a taste test with ALDI "crown" icecream and Cornetto blind test. ALDI came out on top again. You'll find many people shop at ALDI for fruit and veg which is Aussie and meats etc, they have brilliant cheeses etc too and coffee I love my ALDI coffee pod machine ! And then speciality items go elsewhere not too hard as where I live their in the same shopping centre. I do appreciate though for many this isn't a option. And people do like their bags packed for them. At ALDI you have to do it yourself but hey I don't mind if it saves me $$$ each week. My ALDI even has Vegemite !
We don’t say all-dee for aldi, we say al-dee
Boxing day originated in the days of horse and cart.. you might travel days to spend christmas with family.. and the day after christmas box up all your goods and chattels to spend days travelling home again. Nowadays its popular as a public holiday.. so.. cricket... races.. regattas.. all sorts of activities..
No, not boxing up goods & chattels, boxing up food etc for servants & the poor.
The eve of the Boxing Day Test cricket match. Nothing to do with Christmas.
So when are you visiting Australia?
That dessert is a Triffle
On the bottom cake soaked with Sherry, fruit, custard & cream layers...some put jelly after the cake, go one step better, black cherries. Hhhmmm yummiest

I'm lucky. I can walk out of Coles and straight into Aldi as they are next to each other. Cats are feral and are endangering the existence of native animals. There are around 20 million feral cats killing endangered native animals. Wombats are very fast animals. John Monash created modern warfare and was responsible for the allied success in WW1.
The Jacaranda tree is very common in Australia especially in the subtropics of Queensland and northern NSW. Watching movies and youtube videos I see them in LA as well. They are native of South America.
It's because there's no native cat at all on the Australian continent, so our animals, particularly small marsupials like the bilby and bandicoots, didn't evolve to have defenses against cats, so they're endangered species largely now due to domestic cats becoming a pest population. We do actually have local government laws that say that you need to keep your cat contained to your property and not let it wander the streets, but it's rarely enforced and a lot of people think it's fine to let their cat roam, despite dangers to their cats too, such as from other cats, or getting hit by a vehicle
Jack-a-rand-a
That Trifle is layered berries, custard, sponge cake and cream, but it can be anything you like really.
Our birds are unique to Australia, many of them, as well as small nocturnal creatures, are endangered species and get killed by feral cats and cats whose owners let them out at night. There are no native cats in Australia, they were all introduced by humans.
The Aldi sticker is not that useless. Mostly it sticks on some left over articles where there are no shelf signs anymore. So only a price sticker (which they don't have, therefore the sales sticker).
I'm a 60yo woman lived in Brisbane most of that time. Except for when I was very very young have not seen kangaroos in my Neighborhood ever.
In the “almost healthy” dessert called trifle, you wondered what that is, its sponge cake.
Or possibly custard.
Or some of each.
There are an estimated 20 million feral cats in the wild in Australia
I shop my favourite Australian brands because I know how they taste and I want that reliability. I never shop at Aldi, I leave them for Germany. IGA is independent and therefore has to charge more to stay in business. Good for emergencies. I’m still for Coles and Woolies.
The famous boxing day cricket game
You can see the problem with cats, right. Its our attitude - on one hand, everything native's a pest (emus, wallabies/roos, possum etc), but then the poor wildlife is being endangered. (They largely aren't actually pests, as such, rather its just that we like to take over their habitats). Attitudes seem to have changed a little over the last 50 years, and there is a little more consideration and seemingly less native-animal culls. I don't know for sure, it just seems that way...
If the Koala goes extinct, then you'll know we tried too little, too late.
There's a cricket game on Boxing Day - that's why the MCG cares about Boxing Day
Aldi isn't open as long, doesn't do delivery and is often out of stock
Australia does a great job of blending nature with infrastructure. So that is sometimes why you'll see kangaroos wild life around suburbs. Nearly everyone where I live has possums living in their roof. It is council law to keep cats inside.
Boxing day origin. In Victorian England and earlier, the rich would box up their leftover food from Christmas day and distribute to the poor
Absolutely NO ONE says that others can't say Merry Christmas no matter where they are in Australia. They've been reading too many BS memes. .Yes, Aldi is a lot cheaper but sometimes you just can't find what you need due to Aldi's limited range.
That public toilet is at Fairlight pool a suburb of Manly I grew up near there and I used to ride my bike down the track nearly every morning and afternoon to go for a surf I'm now 58 and live on the other side of the country in Geraldton western Australia
A surf at Fairlight? You must really be an optimist!
@DeepThought9999 no on the way to Manly it's a walk way that went from Balgowlah to Manly but in saying that Fairlight does have a wave that breaks behind the pool on extreme southerly and I have surfed it on a number of occasions
I was waiting to see if that bloke walking his alpaca was taking him into the foot spa. 😂
9:38 - could be worse - I once accidentally posted a "special" on the website of the company i work for, that was actually more expensive than the retail price...... was a long time before anyone flagged me about it hahah.
So many youtubers are talking about Australia, and I don’t like it. It was nice when few people across the world knew who or where we were.
You thank the internet first then social media has only increased that awareness tenfold.😂
The price of all chocolates has skyrocketed recently due to the cacao plant disease reducing the amount of cocoa being produced globally.
Maybe it's my 1950s upbringing, but to have 1400 items from which to select what to eat (as at Aldi) seems more than adequate. Btw, economy of scale goes in favour of fewer items and bigger quantities of each. QED.
The issue with cats is that they are not native to this continent. Our native wildlife haven’t evolved to be defensive against them as there are no cat equivalent predators here. They literally kill millions of creatures EVERY DAY.
Jacaranda is pronounced “Jack a ran da”
Yes a wombat, known to eat roots and leaves..
