I once left my wallet on the roof of my car at a shopping centre. I got home and realised what I'd done and was getting ready to retrace my steps to try and find my wallet. As I was about to leave, a gentleman came into the property asking for me. He'd found my wallet on the road and checked the license, then drove 5km to my place to return it. Bloody legend.
Wow!! That is legend of the year for you I bet 👏😎
@@IWrocker i do a lot of work in the Sydney cbd and one day i jumped out the work van to pay for parking and found a credit card on the ground next to the parking meter. So i pick it up and walked back to my car and sat it down on my passenger seat. I started organizing everything i needed for my next job when i see this guy quickly walk up to his car and frantically start searching in and around his car . Quite distressed he starts combing the gutters back to the parking meter. He knows hes lost his card at this point and starts frantically trying to work out who to call. I grab the card and walk over to him, and say "hey mate you lost something"? He's like "F ive lost my credit card F..." I pull out the card and read out his name. His jaw dropped, he's like no Fn way dude are you serious? WTF! why wouldn't you just. I stoped him and replied, "treat others how you wish to be treated mate", as he's giving me the biggest bro hug! He opens his wallet and pulls out 20 bucks. Im like na na mate, he says "no man no, you are going to buy yourself a 6 pack of beers its the least I can do". I was like "na its ok", but he insisted so i agreed. I definitely made his day.
Hi Brad! You're often commenting on our son's videos (Chooka Parker)...so glad your wallet was returned, what a relief!
@@QuestionThingsUseLogic G'day Kerry! Pleased to virtually meet you. Yep, so was I! But hey, we're generally a bunch us Aussies.

12:08 chin wagging and completely missed the snake 😂
Ian may not know what chin wagging is? 😁
@@blacksorrento4719 talking shit
@@SuperSpecies I think Ian possibly understands a bit more of the Aussie Vernacular now. 😂😂😂
Queensland is the Sunshine State. Our catchphrase is Beautiful one day, perfect the next. That car that broke down is Coronation Drive in Brisbane. It runs beside the Brisbane River and if he continued in front of him is the Brisbane CBD. It is an extremely busy road. And yes that was an ambulance and we call the ambulance drivers and medics ....ambos. We shorten everything. Brisbane is my hometown and I ‘m glad a few of those videos were from Brissie, did it again. Lol
Everyone knows Western Australia is the real sunshine state 🌞
@@psychedelicprawncrumpets9479 Here in Victoria, we get ALL the seasons, every 15minutes.👍
@@psychedelicprawncrumpets9479 I agree with that.😎
@@psychedelicprawncrumpets9479 You mean "The fly blown state" 🤣 JK, both WA & QLD have their own unique beauty & appeal.
Most of the videos where from Queensland cause they have the maroon plates. And yes Queensland is the bogan state but most of us (aussies) will help someone out just because we ain't in a rush... love ya
Oh man you were talking so much during the clip of the guy hoping out of the van you didn’t notice the snake haha love your content mate
Wow haha good catch!
I was yelling at my phone - "dude - you gotta see the snake!!!" Was shattered you missed it Ian - at least you can go back and have a look now ;)
Great reaction vid mate x
Yes! A gf of mine lives in the bushy outskirts of Melbourne, she was stopped in traffic in Ringwood and another driver told her there was a snake dangling from under her 4wd. She pulled over and a brown snake dropped and slithered off. She was really grateful especially as she had her 4 kids in the car. Aussies are great.
Can’t believe you missed the snake !!! I was yelling at you through my phone screen 😂😂😂
Time stamp pleeeaase!
My sons tyre blew last week and I stayed with the car while he went to get a new tyre, the car was jacked up and in the 20mins I was waiting I had 6 different people stop and ask if they could help, made me so happy to know even in hard times Aussies will stop and help and even have a friendly chat while you wait :-)
That is excellent to hear! Go Aussies 😎😎
@@IWrocker I happened to be driving behind a Ford Falcon of the same model one day. The road (near my house) takes a sharp left 90 degree bend and the curb on the inside corner sticks out further than it should. Well the car in front just clipped the curb while rounding the corner. It hit the sidewall of the left rear tyre and dislodged the bead, and deflated straight away. When the car pulled over I stopped behind them and got out to see if I could help. It was a mum with 3 young kids in the back. I said I'd change it for her, just stay in the car and keep the engine running so they still had air conditioning (mid day sun and 38*C [100.4*F]). For some reason the spare tyre had been taken out of her car, something she wasn't aware of. Well with my Falcon being of the same model, it shared the same stud pattern as hers, so I put my spare onto her car. We exchanged names, address and contact details and I wished her well. I wasn't sure I was going to see my spare again or not, but the next day she called me up and said she'd had her tyre replaced and I could pick up my spare from her house. When I got there she had my spare tyre and a carton of beer (the [un]official Australian unit of currency) already chilled.
This isnt a stand out situation, this is everyday stuff. Someone needs help, you try and help them out.
Last summer, I spotted an elderly couple broken down. Radiator was overheating, I stopped to see their radiator was empty. I grabbed the 2 x 2 litre soft drink bottles of water from my "boot" to refill their radiator. I met them again at the servo & the old bloke offered me $50.00. I declined as I said the bottles were free & so was the water. He refilled the bottles & went on his way.
Aussies will help anyone out - with just a "thanks, mate" as the only payment.
@@brokensuave a carton well earnt. its a simple economy. random act of kindness. carton. helping a mate out. carton. its just civil. its a good system.
@@arjovenzia Helping a mate or friend of a friend move house, carton. Buying car parts, carton (Or longnecks/tallies for a smaller denomination of currency)
Our (in Victoria anyway) highway patrol cars are colourful so that they easily stand out if they have someone pulled over in the service lane so you know to slow down near them and not hit the officer
Maybe America should take note... Alot of Police Vehicles here are black or dark colors, almost impossible to see at night without their lights which also rapidly flash so hard it disorients drivers coming up on them
Same in WA👍
Yes Coles is a major supermarket here and you did indeed spot the Holden logo at the dealership.
But @IWrocker missed the man who helped pick up the bike, had a Bob Jane T-Marts Bathurst 1000 Jacket on haha
@@brokensuave after the misses, Ian's going to have to go back and watch with new eyes again😊 it's a good watch so won't be hard viewing.
Australian ambulances are Mercedes Sprinters (normally) Edit: that type of fence looks like a wire fence, wooden posts with 4 or more runs of wire horizontally strung.
That spider on the Blue Ford Falcon was the Huntsman Spider (non venomous just big).
And the Sunshine State is Queensland.
Cheers, Scotty.
Turned on my aircon one day and one come out the air flow.
I didn't even look at traffic I instantly turned left. I shit myself was huge.
Huntsman spiders most certainly are venomous, as are most spiders.
The Uloboridae family of spiders are the only known non venomous spiders.
I’m loving all the Aussie slang mate 👍🏻, you’ve been doing your homework 😂🇦🇺👍🏻
He's been hanging around us long enough now, we're rubbing off! 😊
A spider on the roof isn’t too bad, it’s when spidey is hiding on top of your sun visor and decides to drop in your lap when you put the visor down that the trouble starts. It’s not uncommon for huntsman spiders to crawl into your car and hide there, particularly if you’ve parked under a tree.
I've had that happen to me. A sizable spider crawling across the top of my windscreen - INSIDE! Gave my a fucking heart attack! Luckily I was only driving on a suburban street.
@@veddyveddygood yeah, I had that happen when I was driving home from work with my carpool friends. I made it into the curb and slammed on the brakes and then it was like an explosion as all four doors flew open and we jumped out of the car.
@@miniveedub So you didn't get runover and lived to tell the tale 😁
@@veddyveddygood yes but poor spidey wasn’t so lucky. He met his fate in the form of a rolled up newspaper.
I just call them my pet and try to get them out of the car when I can.
Great video, IWrocker. You really are showing your knowledge of all things Australian. I think we may have to induct you as an Honorary Aussie soon, mate! Cheers bloke! *salutes*
The Sunshine state bloke looks like he's in Towong Brisbane along the river leading into the city. Very busy multilane road.
More like Milton I think. Definitely on the Coronation Drive at off peak, which is not as bad…
I've broken down on coro in peak traffic it's very stressful!!
In today's nutty world, so happy to see decency is still well and truly alive down under! Stay safe, mate!
The Sunshine State is Queensland mate , or more commonly known as gods country
@@Ragnar6000 hahahaha love it
I rode motorcycles for many years and suffered a few accidents. Every time, people would rush over to help me and make sure I was alright. If you have ever helped anyone on the road, thank you! Your kindness makes a great difference and is not forgotten.
I loved this adventure of yours here in Australia we do help out when we can .
I love this Dash Cam, I've seen it before and never tire of it! 💕
12:00 no comment on the giant snake? Not sure if you missed that one Ian.
yes I saw it but Ian miss it lol
Missed it damn!!!
Queensland id the " Sunshine State ".
Holden has shut down it's assembly plants and no longer builds cars ,they do however still re-badge imported cars and sell them as Holdens . It seems the name still has that magic Capitalist power , gotta stay on the gravy train Ian.
I'm glad to be an Aussie. It's in our blood to help out each other even to push a car out of the way. We a blessed to live in Australia
And the sunshine state is Queensland
Sunshine State is Queensland mate, 17:32 Ian the guy is wearing a Bob Jane Tmarts Mount Panorama tracksuit zip top
You talked right through the clip with the snake on the road 😂😂
Haven’t you ever clutch started a bike or car? Put it in second gear, hold the clutch in, get someone to push you till you get a bit of speed up then drop the clutch to get the car/bike started. Done that a million times in my life lol
"Dunno what happened there"
He bump-started the bike.
Yep, that's the Aussie spirit for ya. Always help your mates, and remember; everyone's a mate. :)
Ambulance vehicles used to be f150 and f250 and also has a few GMC ones. Back in the 80s-90s bbut now they are Mercedes sprinter vans.
The clip with the blue ford and the spider crawling on it is my home town Coffs Harbour. Home of The Big Banana.
I had a big spider like that travel on my car for about 1200km over 2 days. I thought it had blown off until I stopped at roadworks and it emerged from its little sheltered nook to wander across the windsceen. The guy holding the lollypop just pointed and laughed! I never knew what happened to it, but getting in and out of the car for the next few days was like escaping from Alcatraz!
The cord hanging out of the boot of the Highway Patrol car is the power lead to keep the battery charged up when the car is parked overnight. Old mate forgot to unplug it before heading out for the day haha.
Yes these are good to watch. Much better than the angry road ragey ones.
This Tuesday I saw a little old lady driving down the wrong way of a busy street. About 7 or 8 people all reacted - no words, the ones closest to her approach went to stop her, the people furthest away stopped the traffic in the lane she was driving down, and the person in front of me stopped the traffic in the lane she should have been in so that she could cross back in. It was amazing.
If you and your family ever want to change countries, I’m sure you’d have plenty of sponsors Ian 👍😊
Your knowledge of Australia is forever growing.
Thank you for getting our way of life, out to the world from a non Australian perspective.
We are a very accepting country, we are unique geographically, lifestyle and multiculturally, however because of those very facts, often we cannot readily conform to the way the rest of the world thinks, usually there is a very good reason, we are not being difficult. It’s just where and who we are. 🇦🇺
Australian culture is about “mateship”, helping out if needed, without expectation.
Travel across the Tasman to NZ and you will experience the same humanity from our brothers and sisters in Aotearoa.
NZ ers are also fantastically warm, friendly and caring people.
I think the majority of people in the world are similar deep down but sometimes the circumstances in their country make them more cautious and less confident to help out.
3:26 I'm almost positive is in Box Hill, Melbourne. I used to work right around the corner!
What you don't see is that on the left-hand side behind the camera is an old folks home, which is probably where the lady came from.
4:07 congratualtions on contextually correct usage of "old mate".
Once was on the train heading into Melbourne for a night out, left my wallet on the train and only realised after it was well gone. A guy found it and sent me a message through Facebook using my name from my driver's licence, and rode his bike to deliver it to me while I was waiting in line at the club, had 150 cash in it plus bank cards, he took none of it, I gave him 50 in return.
Ambulances in Aus nowadays are usually Mercedes 'Sprinter' vans. Unfortunately, because of a fractured hip, I got a ride in one a little over a week ago. Shout out to all the Paramedics (and other Emergency Services) around the world for the awesome job they do :)
I was " chased" down the highway one day. Eventually I pulled over really pissed off with this " idiot" flashing lights at me. The bloke just wanted to let me know I'd left my phone and my wallet on the roof of the car... unbelievably they were still there!
My partner had a bird fly in the window on the highway(freeway) doing 100km/h (roughly 60mph). And the bloody thing just sat there on his knee until he could pull over and let the lorikeet go. Had spiders crawl out from the steering column a few times lol
Yep,phasing out the dealership's one of the darkest thing's to happen to this country especially being our own car.
1998: I was driving a light Isuzu truck with a pallet full of fence palings and stopped at a red light in Capalaba. When I took off, the truck went forward, but the pallet stayed where it was and landed in the middle of a very busy intersection. HELP! Just then, two massive Maori guys stopped, picked up the pallet and shoulder pressed the whole pallet back onto the racks. Thanks to you unknown blokes.
Love the really appreciative thanks from the cop, didn't even look back just a wave of a few fingers
That guy catching the lamb was awesome. 😆
shit, this happens all the time over here down-under, nice of you to show it
Can’t beat Aussie mateship. To clear up questions, the sunshine state is Queensland. As for pushing the motorbike, the push got him up to speed if he dumps the clutch on the bike it started the engine.
6:30 thats Coronation drive in brisbane. QLD
I had a sad day taking my mums jewellery to a store to see if they could do a valuation for me to cover it on our insurance until I could cope with what I was going to do with it and had to deal with a shop keeper that was having a bad day. When I returned to my car I put it on top while I unlocked the car door and because I was so distracted with what was already a sad thing I had to do I left the jewellery box on the roof of my car. A kind lady knocked on my window two blocks away from where I was parked and showed me the box in her hand. I was in shock at what I'd just done, but was so lucky to had had some lovely lady bring me back to reality. I cried all the way home. Aside from knowing the value eventually, I would have been heart broken loosing my mum's wedding ring and engagement ring. Thank goodness for good Samaritans. We have lots in Australia. That's why we refer to Australia as the lucky country.
I’ve had a bonnet/hood pop up on me while I was doing 70klm over Dynon rd bridge in Footscray. It happens.
A variety of vehicles are used, and vary across Australia. Most were based on vehicles with larger rear body on chassis like Ford F150 or sinilar, leaving room for patient trolley and med team in the rear, but also there are some, mainly patient trasport based on multiseat van, like Toyota Tarago
Most of the ambulances here in Queensland are based off Mercedes sprinter vans, they did have f450s up until 2008
@@nelsondawson9706 yes you qre right, the ambulances are bigger than F150, I mis identify the type intend8ng mainly style than size. The current Vic ambulances might also be as Queensland though from observation there seem to be several types appearing.
The premier state is New South Wales.....the Sunshine state is Queensland.....the garden state is Victoria.....Northern Territory is the Outback Territory, The Australian capital territory, is the capital territory, South Australia is the Great southern state....can't remember western Australia tho.....hope that hepls
Ironic nsw just lost their premier.
ACT plates now say “Canberra - The Bush Capital”
Western Australia just has state name.
Tassie is “Explore the Possibilities”
And Victoria now has “The Education State”?
Easy to tell I haven't been anywhere in a while.......but neither has anyone else....lol
@@cameronlapworth2284 Thats ok we a brand new corrupt liberal ready to go
17:32 Holden still has dealerships they just are not made in Australia anymore. They recently announced the brand will be retired all together aswell.
But dealerships still have franchise contracts that keep them being branded Holden. It's kind of a grey area in which holden dealerships still exist but the cars don't.
The dealerships I assume are just selling old models aswell as servicing and repairs.
Coles also owns service stations, along with woolworths and a couple other big supermarkets chains
Yup, the Coles is a little shop attached/incorporated with the Caltex servo on the same sign.
@@robby1816 yeah that one in particular is like that. There's heaps of coles run servos
"the burgers are better at Hungry Jacks" is the catch phrase they use. There was a few Burger king's around many years ago but a copyright dispute is why they are now Hungry Jacks.
11:44 so thats why when i order maccas the drink is usually in the bag rather than the cup.
17:30 that footage is located in Murray Bridge, South Australia. I should now, I have driven through there 100s of times. Fun Fact: Junk Food road is only a couple of metres up the road Holden corner.
The Sunshine state is Qld cause it's practice sunny for like 325 days of the year aha. We only get like a solid 3 weeks worth of rain some years
Coles and Woolies (Woolworths) are our two main grocery supermarkets.
19:26 , that clip is near where i live and they are turning onto a road going onto a highway. So luckily he did, or that hood would have went flying
You can compression start a motorbike if the ignition fails for some reason. Same with cars. In first gear, keep the clutch in, and if you gather enough speed and let the clutch out it starts up
Last one was a coppa, you were right on all the companies you guessed from the logos 😊
This is country Australia, I'd say he's a farmer, knows how to handle a sheep.
Well done with the sign spotting
14:40 "Whose is that jumbuck, you've got in your tuckerbag?"
For Ian’s benefit in case he reads this, that was a line from the iconic Aussie song “Waltzing Matilda”. You should search for that on YT, Ian. It’s commonly considered to be the alternative Aussie national anthem.
Hi just subscribed and luv this . We need true humanity shown so simply but lovely . ♥️🖖✊
coles and woolworths have their own gas stations . very over priced unless you get the discount voucher for shopping at the stores . lol theyre usually near a coles or woolies store but not attached to them .
Lov you mate
There was already a franchise in Australia called Burger King before America's Burger King came to Australia so they had to change their name to Hungry Jacks. Yes they are state of the art ambulances, many of them are mobile intensive care ambulances........
That first video is in Leichhardt near my house
At 13:40 , He's pushing the bike because motorbikes have clutches which can be dropped to start it if battery is dead like cars with manual gear boxes.
Aust. has Hungry Jacks, here in NZ we have Burger King. I tried HJ in Oz when over there last thinking it was different, but nope the same dry and tasteless. Wild Bean is BP's cafe, also here and usually reasonable coffee too.
If you make it to Aust. one day, you'll have to get your way over here to EnZed.
8:57 hungry jack's IS burger king. They own it. Same company, just a different name here because when they came in the "burger king" trademark was already registered in Adelaide. Later when the trademark expired, they tried to open up Burger King restaurants but their franchisee (Hungry Jack's) sued them, so now we get to keep the old name for good.
Gotta love how most of these clips were from Queensland, Qld
Guy pushing bike was giving a hand to push start it due to flat battery. Just an FYI.. :P Great content again and like other you missed the Snake? With that have a look at a red back spider catching a snake and wining Cheers from a safe downunder :P
Burger King didn't really do well, so the franchisee in Australia discussed changing the name to Hungry Jacks, it was given a try and worked
Aussies being mates love it 🙂
It's called Hungry Jack's in Australia because someone anticipated that Burger King would eventually make it to Australia. So they bought the intellectual rights to the name Burger King in Australia in hopes to lease the name to Burger King to make a quick buck from the franchises.
Burger King decided against leasing it's own name from a third party and coined Hungry Jack's as the name of the Franchise in Australia.
at 14 minutes that guy basically just helped him push start the motorbike
People in Oz are generally super nice to each other, probably because no one is packing heat over here
Burger King is marketed and franchised in Australia under the "Hungry Jacks" name as the name Burger King wasn't available to be used in Australia.
The guy that walked up to a car at the 12 min 30 sec stage of the video, was just leaning down to rescue a poor old snake when the video cut out!
For some unknown reason those huntsman spiders love to hitch a ride, to where who knows.
Ha it's spider. I had a huntsman on my dash going for my hands I was doing a roundabout. XD
Yes in Aus we call them Ambos short for ambulance they are a Mercedes Benz model
12:03, Brother you didn’t notice the snake crossing the road, you were busy talking
3:53, looks like the silver car ran a red light, and then was trying to back up out of the intersection, where the old lady was trying to cross. You can actually see the lights change and the grey car then drive off.
4:30 when the guy closes the van door, note he wasn’t even just pulling up behind the van. He went out of his way, the van was in the right lane, and the bike then goes across a couple of lanes to turn left.
Red is an unusual colour for a police car, most are white. I have seen red for some highway patrol cars, and I’ve seen a red AFP one before (That’s Australian Federal Police).
Go back to 12:08 you were talking and missed the cute and cuddly Aussie wildlife crossing the road.
17:34 that looks to be an L-plate on the back of that bike, so a learner rider. Not familiar with SA road rules (clocked the sign at the start pointing to Adelaide), but I’m surprised she doesn’t have a companion rider with her, as a learner.
Holden’s are still being sold here, they’re just not made here. As you know, Holden is GM, so we get all the GM cars over here sold as Holdens.
Yep, that was a police officer who saved the balloon.
Sorry man but the Holden brand no longer exists beyond Holden dealers providing after sales support and servicing. There are no new cars being sold with Holden badges anymore. We only have GMSV (GM Specialty Vehicles) and its just RHD Silverados for the moment until the Corvette is released in RHD.
He put the sheep back in the "paddock "
Yes those are Mercedes sprinter vans or sometimes Ford transit vans and they are ambulances.
That white van is being pushed on a road near me!! That's enoggera in brisbane
Huntsmans on your car is the WORST THING EVER!!! One night I was beating my car up in Civic (Canberra City) and rushing around like a lunatic with a shoe! NO WAY WAS THAT HIDEOUS CREATURE getting into my car!!! People going by were perplexed but figured it out pretty soon 😆😆😆. My car was fine. The creature was unrecognisable.
A few years ago now my friend and her little guy and I were driving down to Batemans Bay area for a friend's funeral. We were on the Clyde (A well known twisty steep mountain road) when I stupidly drove over a sharp rock (i thought I was going around it 🙄🙄🙄) and my tyre let me know it was deflated by the event. Very fortunately there was a space to pull over at that bend. Under heavy rain we organised ourselves to change the type but this guy appeared (had his wife and babies in the car) and changed the tyre for me. It was raining hard but we mostly managed to keep him dry with my umbrella. What a wonderful man! The nuts had been put on by machine...I have Muppet arms! I'll never forget him.
in australia we dont call them alley ways we refer them as lane ways
ok two things we do say in australia is trunk and honk its actully boot and beep
The Sunshine State is Queensland, and by the looks of bus was Brisbane area
Pushing the motorbike was a push start or jump start. It's a way of get a bike or car with manual gears a way of starting when having starting issues
I'd say the guys with the roaming sheep were the owners as you wouldn't put a stray sheep into someone else's farm :)
That was the spike strip rope lol 10:29
The Sunshine state is Queensland. I drive that road every day to work XD
Do you know why Burger King is called hungry jacks in Victoria ? One guy had a little burger restaurant called Burger King which predated Burger King moving into Australia and he refused all offers to sell the name. Being a small business his name registration only applied to Victoria so Burger King had to give up and choose different name just in Victoria. So this one little family owned business won against giant American corporation and saved his family business name. Cool huh!
Its Hungry Jacks in Australia as McDonalds legally registered the business name Burger King.
once we saw a car run out of fuel right outside the station and there where little kids in the car so my dad helped to push the car for them
Queensland Sunshine State. The car was broken down on Coronation Drive Brisbane City
