@@somebloke3869 yeah I feel that. It's my first job and I still live at home so I'm fine and love it. We get lots of whole sale orders from local councils so that keeps us paid.
I appreciate your support of keeping wildlife safe from wandering cats. We have 3 within an enclosed back garden from which they can watch birds to their hearts content and live also in the house. We have multiple bird pairs that breed in our hedges in front and the fledglings are safe from our cats at least. And they're not shitting on people's gardens.
Oh my.... I've been watching your vids for a few months now and nearly fell out of bed last night when I saw you were in Lake Clifton, just 50km up the road!! You're awesome and I'm LOVING that you are showcasing this amazing part of Australia to the whole world. Are you coming/have you been to Manea Park in Bunbury? If not you really should, its orchid hunting season!!
"All the mammals here pretty much have immunity to it" Most in WA where the study area was over a section of bush high in the compounds, more broadly it affects a lot of stuff. p.s. When they say "Wild Dogs" they mean "Dingo, which occasionally might eat a Sheep while improving the entire habitat"
Nitomp, relative, gentle with our plant friends. Imagie scraping the scabs off a burn victim - the bark falls off when healing is complete. I was taught to handle plants gently because our touching does them no good and often harms where we don't see the effect immediately. Also, we transfer fungal and bacterial pests.
Kookaburra, the laugh is two (or more) of them, one goes koo-koo-koo-koo and the other ka-ka-ka-ka. I think, in breeding pairs, the precise synchronisation of the two voices signals the pair bond strength, it's territorial.
I also heard the dulcet tones of the Brown Honeyeater (Lichmera indistincta) in this video. Pity the Laughing Kookaburra is introduced in the South-West and likes to eat the nestlings of our endemic birds. :(
It's one of the most interesting things about our landscape. It is a cultural landscape older than the last ice age. Without fire started by humans we actually lose biodiversity!
Was doing rips, and relate to the psychedelics comment. You are the prof but I want to call you Dean-These videos are gold: every 30 seconds is worth a shitload of research.
Hi there, I was scrolling through the comments, because some are also gold. Looked like you were asking a question there, it is Asteraceae the family of daisies, sunflowers, groundsels, thistles etc etc. They used to be called Compositae because each flower is arranged on a disc to look like one big flower. Pretty sure I've soon Tony talk about this somewhere but they're amazing plants. If you take a typical daisy the yellow centre is made up of a heap of tiny flowers each with five petals fused into a tube. The white petals are similarly each a single flower but here the 5 petals are fused into a strap. This is really easy to see on a sunflower.
I'm a native of Western Australia south west and swan region and this vid is Sooooooo freakin good worth a sub straight out - glad to see someone appreciate our flora as much as i do. Only found you today while searching for info on Nuytsia floribunda, for our hobby farm , or as we call them Christmas trees ( or moodjar by the local Noongar people) - these Parasitic Bastids bloom like crazy within and around christmas ( we will decorate ours as a festive tree each year ) its a shame you didnt see it - and any one reading google dat sheet , absolutely amazing , the other tree indigenous to this and only this area i wish you could have seen in bloom is banksia menziesii , these two trees were freakin everywhere when i was a kid and miss seeing these little Bastids bloom Again sooooo frekin good

Chris Walford I think my ma got it off the radio here in the states probably around 1965. I’m assuming because that’s when I was in kindergarten and that’s when I learned it.
"You could really go down a dark hole with this ya know, if you were on psychedelics ". Wonder if May Gibbs was high when she wrote about the "big bad Banksia men...
The Nutsyia Floribunda is known by local Indigenous Noongar peoples as 'moodjar' and considered extremely sacred and known as 'the tree of souls'- to white fellas its the Western Australian Christmas tree.
I've got a few psychoactive acacia species I have been growing. Including maidenii, acuminata, jibberdingensis, confusa, and floribunda. If you ever see any over here I would love to see a video of them.
We do have one species of large mammalian predator, dingoes. Australian wild dogs that came down from Asia about 5000 years ago. I'll look up the actual number. Few small marsupial carnivores, quolls, numbats, tassie devils; but nothing that will take down a roo.
Historically we had things like marsupial lions and whatnot, but those went extinct. Dingoes managed to fill the missing niche pretty well though, unlike the feral cats and foxes
The Tasmanian Tiger was a marsupial as well. All the larger mammals native to Australia are marsupials or monotremes, with only the bats or the rodents representing the placental mammals. At least till we 'civilized' it. Really good choice for a break - Australia.
Mate. Come to the tropical rainforest city of Cairns, North Queensland! I'll be happy to show you some pristine rainforest ecology, from where rainforest meets coral reefs and sclerophyl forests thrive. I've been following your work for some months now. So exited your in Australia! COME TO CAIRNS AND ILL BUY YOU A BURRITO!!
Andre Greenwood I visited Daintree some years ago and could hardly walk five feet without throwing myself at some poor plant to worship. My friends were very, very annoyed. Whatever, it was FASCINATING. You live in such a magical area!

Now I'm stuck on the wiki page for carnivorous plants in Australia and some of these drosera are beautifully wild looking.
Stop at a used bookstore. See if they have copies of Rica Erickson's books on Western Australian orchids, or plants of prey or trigger plants. May Gibbs will introduce you to the big bad banksia men. Locals refer to the compound fruit of a banksia as a cob. Oh yeah, the stalks coming out of the Caladenia flava flowers are known as calli.
I swear every video i watch has a comment of yours. Be it politics, late night shows or quite interesting or this botony all Except weed channels now that i think about it. I guess you dont grow your own oh and mma content. We definitely have common interests tho. Have a good one bro
@crime pays but botany doesn't ive seen guava and refrigerator trees doing that same 360 bark regeneration when its all stripped off. its amazing. always reminded me of antler velvet growth.
I know this video is kind of old now, but the trigger mechanisms on Stylidium sp. usually do reset after being triggered! Very cool and intersting genus, I love them
I’m trying to get some banksia seed started right now but to no avail. Its gonna need some smoke pretreatment paper I think. This is a wonderful tour you’re giving here. It’s ripper flora alright. Oh, and no one has guns except the cops and the farmers!
I fucking love that you've taken a trip to Australia. I might not have a very large background in botany but I'm extremely proud about the orchid and carnivorous plant diversity we have. Another great video my man
Oh man you need to look up Snugglepot & Cuddlepie. Specifically the villains in the stories - the Banksia Men. Also my favourite tale about Nuytsia is that Telstra was having problems with their lines once, they kept being cut. In the end they discovered it was a Nuytsia, it's roots had found the lines, figured it was a root to parasitise and grew a haustoria around it and cut the line.
Do you know of anyone who does similar videos on succulents of South Africa / Madagascar / etc? I'm especially interested in seeing what Euphorbia looks like in situ outside the Americas. I really love your videos with partially buried cacti. It's so rare to see videos of commonly cultivated plants growing in the wild.
A lot of bush burn trees were used to make boats and baskets and stuff because of its regeneration. They'd take off the top healthy layer and burn off the sore so it'd scab.
On the way to Bunbury I see, last remaining remnant old Tuart forest down there. They are spraying the pig's ear/Arum lily invasion there. I always stop under the old Tuarts there on my way to Busselton, and the Arums seem to get thinner every year, so seems like the spraying helps a bit. Also those obnoxious arsehole Kookaburras are east coast invasive, and like all things from the anus of Australia, can be dismissed with derision and disgust. The only good thing east side is the road back west. Sometimes people from WA move to the east side, this generally increases the intelligence levels both sides of the nullabor, and what the shit.
sthysel lmao I went east for 4 years at the turn of the century, came back West and still haven’t been back. There is some beautiful country there though like the Blue Mountains where I lived for a while and yeah Kookaburras are pricks they shouldn’t be here.... much like Queenslanders with southern cross neck tatts and xenophobic attitudes.
david smith lmao trigger easy? I don’t actually hate Kookaburras I’ve got far more problems than to invest in raging on Kookaburras but they are an invasive species and shouldn’t be here much like the Rainbow Lorikeet. As for far left hate words that is a new one to me, is Xenophobic not used by people on the right?! Are you from the states or something I was making calls based on actual people I’ve met nothing to do with political persuasion. I was actually born in Texas how do you know I’m not hard right? Or even neither, sweeping assumptions mate.
david smith you know what don’t bother responding to that, I’ve got far better things to do than message about ridiculous things like this. That will learn me for engaging in public comments on YT. Try not to take life to seriously it would be better for us all.
True, but these ones were introduced from the east coast. Southern WA doesn't naturally have Laughing Kookaburras (they do have the Blue Winged Kookaburra in the northern part of WA tho.)
@@KiraPepper Yeah, same, I'm from Vic. They were also introduced to Tassie. If you combine the two main species they are (naturally) found in about 50-60% of the mainland (the southern halves of NT and WA, most of SA and a corner of SW QLD being naturally kookaburraless)
The fire regeneration thing is probably evolution,, I mean our bush fire rating system goes from “low/moderate” then straight to “high” all the way to “extreme” and lastly “code red” lmao
I've been thinking until late it'd be neat to see you pull apart Australian flora and fauna. Glad to see you're here - and what great timing to be here in spring. Hopefully the jakaranda flower before you leave. South west WA is a beautiful pocket of secluded evolution, segregated from the rest of the continent.
@@BeholdItKnits I'll be the first to admit I don't know anything about anything -i didn't know this! But I meant it more as a symbol for summer rolling in
Damn everything from flower to leaf morphology of Australian plants is insane, everything is a puzzle of sorts. Make sure you’re dousing yourself in sunscreen the holes in the ozone don’t play down there !! Did the kangaroo take you up on your offer ??
They say don’t pick at your scab!! LOL don’t touch the wet paint either. Thanks for the cool stuff. I can’t help but use the technical wording at my own line of work, throws off my coworkers.
The main problem with 1080 or brodifacoum type baits is that they get eaten by many native species, not all but many are poisoned by this too. Also the risk of secondary poisoning is very high, ie, raptors, quolls etc. then consume dying or dead animals. Unfortunately there really isn't much else we can do to actively control their number in the wild. It's staggering to think that letting a cat outside in Australia isn't even illegal, causing billions of native deaths per year.
Haha great to hear your take on the great down under. Always impressed by your knowledge (or Google-Fu!) And very apt comment at 4:40 given current events on the East coast of Aus. Keep up the commentary!

Can't get him to the east coast of the US either I got lots of cool places to roam around Hellahassee.
i love the special guest kookabura
might be your best episode, yet, but I'd better binge-watch the rest of your content, just to make sure >_>
Damn everything from flower to leaf morphology of Australian plants is insane, everything is a puzzle of sorts. Make sure you’re dousing yourself in sunscreen the holes in the ozone don’t play down there !! Did the kangaroo take you up on your offer ??
They say don’t pick at your scab!! LOL don’t touch the wet paint either. Thanks for the cool stuff. I can’t help but use the technical wording at my own line of work, throws off my coworkers.
Gooday mate.back in the bush!
In Western Australia people are harvesting acacia bark for DMT, unfortunately killing pretty fragile trees
The main problem with 1080 or brodifacoum type baits is that they get eaten by many native species, not all but many are poisoned by this too. Also the risk of secondary poisoning is very high, ie, raptors, quolls etc. then consume dying or dead animals. Unfortunately there really isn't much else we can do to actively control their number in the wild. It's staggering to think that letting a cat outside in Australia isn't even illegal, causing billions of native deaths per year.
Laugh Kookaburra laugh 😂 they are a snake and lizard eating bird, usually seen in pairs
It's great this bloke knows his botanies and profanities ,great video
What's the chance of me getting to buy you a beer while down here/Perth fan meetup?
I’d be keen aye
he says his only vice is being whipped by spikey plants and caffeine.
@@captaincalmag4953I've got this great big fuckoff rosebush out the front and Perth has decent coffee too.
That orchid was so nice and sexy. I love the bright yellow
Haha great to hear your take on the great down under. Always impressed by your knowledge (or Google-Fu!) And very apt comment at 4:40 given current events on the East coast of Aus. Keep up the commentary!
Man, you should do a cameo on gardening Australia or something
Fuck that would be off the hook eh
