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.
@@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.
One thing I can positively guarantee you, mate. Australians are one of the nicest people in the world. I came to Australia in the late 80s as a teen and was the only Asian in my school, not once did I ever felt an outsider. In my very first day during lunch time sitting all alone a couple of students came up to me and offered me an apple and an orange then asked me if I wanted to join them in a game of basketball. I couldn't refuse since I love the game, that, and they were twice my size 😛😁. Those two big Aussie blokes became my best friends till these days. Also, one thing I love about the Australian people are their brutal honesty, humour, and non-pc attitude. 🙂
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
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
Ian this is how Aussies are dosen't matter where you are or who it is we're always there for one another, given there are a few Bad Apples that won't show the Love but there's not many
Agree... that’s not superficial sentiment. Aussies generally love to be able to ‘provide a chop out’ when the need arises. I think that applies to humans in general when they aren’t ensnared in the primitive, reptilian brain and preoccupied with staving off existential dread. Once you realise that ‘fear is an illusion’, love is indeed what makes the world go around... going out of your way to be spontaneous and helpful, doesn’t represent an imposte on your schedule, it’s a chance give creation a big affectionate hug. Why would you not? (Other than the reason highlighted)

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.
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 :-)
@@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.

You guys seen that Oz highway patrol where a kid gets a speeding ticket and gives the cops heaps of attitude? He speeds away and on cop says “he’s doing 60 again. Should we give him another ticket?” Laughs - yeah, ---- it, why not!”
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
Yes the balloon saver was a Police Officer. Sunshine state is Queensland who also carry the tourism slogan “beautiful one day, perfect the next”. In Australia, we refer to good deeds as mateship. Cheers from Down Under 😉🇦🇺
I was on crutches a few months ago If I was in a shop I was constantly stunned by home many people offered to help me or carry things to my car. Mostly Australians are good people It restored my faith in humanity
Good deeds warm the cockles of our hearts. No matter who or where you are. Even telling a stranger that their outfit looks nice on them brings happiness. It all helps in passing it forward.
It’s called Hungry Jacks in Oz because when they came here there was already a business named “Burger King”, so they had to call it something else, ala Hungry Jacks. We call them Highway Patrol cars “Candy Cars” because theyre so colourful like a bag of Skittles. Mate you know enough about us now, youd pass the citizenship test easy as…. Imo you are an Aussie already mate
It used to be Burger King until the lawsuit in 2002, they ceased operations and transferred all their assets to Hungry Jacks who took over all the Burger Kings. I remember it being Burger King here when I was a kid, I used to eat it often. Now Burger King is sort of back in Australia as Carls Jr which is another burger franchise owned by them, Burger King bought Carls Jr (an American burger franchise originated in California) in 2010. Though Carls Jr Australia isn't owned by Burger King directly, they pretty much operate here as Carls Jr since it's being franchised here, and a Famous Star tastes identical to a Whopper.
@@brendonrookes1151 They co-existed until after the lawsuit when Burger King ceased operations and transferred all their assets to Hungry Jacks, like I said. I'm 27 and I used to get Burger King from my local shopping center when I was a kid.
@@brendonrookes1151 Nope, 49 year old Sydneysider here and I distinctly remember BOTH Burger King AND Hungry Jacks stores, with the same look and menu, simultaneously operating in Sydney while the brand transition was occurring. Burger King came here and opened stores as Burger King and then the lawsuit occurred which required they change brand.
when someones in trouble...always count on an Aussie to lend a hand...and expect nothing but a thanks or a hand shake in return..its just how we are wired... the rest of the world could learn a thing or 2 from us
Bill, it's our heritage our tradition and time we all realised it and embrace it as our tradition, we often forget that we do have one! Banished here under the harshest of conditions, to hard labour and servitude, lashings and the cruelest of treatment. At the end of out term released with nothing but the clothes on our backs and always looking over our shoulder at the establishment (the British) and the original people who saw us as invaders. The only way to survive was to "count on a mate" for help and support, that irreverance for authority and "give a bloke a go" and "fair crack of the whip" and our always being there for and supporting the underdog "need a hand Mate" it is in our DNA and why we are who we are. So when others put on their national dress and embrace their long held traditions and customs, we live ours every day! So very proud to be Australian 💕🇦🇺
@@cbisme6414 need a hand mate...that should be on our flag/flags depending on how you look at it..them 4 words describe our nature better than anything else
Very well said Bill. I married a 5th generation Aussie. Our sons are 6th and this year we now have the 7th. My husband was a country boy and he taught his sons well, you never go past someone in need of a helping hand, either on the road or anywhere. It doesn’t take much as the video showed. I emigrated as a child, now a proud Australian 🇦🇺 by choice.
Interesting fact about motorcycle riding in New South Wales. When you get your licence to ride a bike in NSW, you have to do a course first. The first thing you have to be able to do is pick your bike up off the ground by yourself. If you can’t do it, they fail you and send you home right then and there. When I did my course it happened to a kid in my group, he tried to pick up the bike (a little Honda 250cc) for what felt like a really long time but just couldn’t get the thing upright. The instructor gave him so much time but the poor kid just couldn’t do it.
13:55 They were jump starting the bike, when a car or bike doesn't start (and it's manual) you hold the clutch in, get someone else to push it as fast as they can and then dump the clutch in second gear with the ignition on which causes the car/bike to start.
I use 2nd gear, lower compression, more chance of a successful push start, easier on the blokes helping out and definatly easier when your by yourself, i push started a HZ Kingswood by myself, couldn't get it 1st, switched to second, boom, first time, used 2nd ever since..lol
I used to have to do a hill start every morning in winter with my old 1975 Mitsubishi Galant - it didn’t like the cold. Sucked if it didn’t start by the time I ran out of hill.
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.
We don't have Dashcam but My Sister and I live about a 15 minute drive from Atherton. Where The Atherton Tablelands, Far North Queensland (it's up a Mountain Range behind Cairns) gets it name from. While still a Country Town it's pretty busy, everyone does their shopping there. If the Flow Of Traffic isn't to heavy My Sister will stop the car for Pedestrians Trying To Cross The Road. So they don't have to stand around in The Sun or Rain too long. It also a Popular Tourist Destination you get practically everything except The Great Barrier Reef that you'll find on Coast. With Cooler Temperatures, many Tourists visit both. Every year plenty of visitors decide they like the area so much they'll move here. In general we're pretty considerate. Except when someone is driving Too Far under the speed limit, even then We generally won't Yell About it. We'll usually say "Hello!", stop to talk to people or Help Others. At Supermarkets it's common for a customer at a checkout to put a divider in place for next customer. I'm 5'9 with a long reach and was raised to be A Lady. With Simple Elegance as well as being Good to others. I routinely hold doors open for people. If someone does that for Me, I make a point of Thanking Them. In Shops and Supermarkets I regularly help people who can't reach items they want. Sometimes if I see that items on higher shelves are too far back I'll pull them closer for other customers.
Grew up in Cairns and regularly camped around Lake Tinaroo on the Tablelands. I have fam in Ravenshoe nowadays. I love where I live in Victoria, but the Tablelands are a great place to visit!
Yeah I grow up in Mt Druitt, Sydney's west and a lot of ppl do that here too. It's not about where you live, it's about being raised with respect and human decency
Hi Ian, l live in the remote part of the country and thought all city drivers were mad, but this video's shown that there are good people on the roads, cheers mate, Neil.
Thats why sheep are called Wooly JUMPERS and also why we call "sweaters" jumpers as they were all originally made of wool. Whereas yours are apparently made of sweat 😂
You really need to check out Jimmy Rees who has been doing "Meanwhile in Australia" clips which are comical skits about everything happening over here.
Always makes me proud to see so many Aussies helping each other out and being wholesome. You look after your mates and they'll look after you. And if we're all mates then that makes it true unity ^-^
That's the Aussie way!! Same as when you're in a queue of busy traffic and someone wants to enter from the side road, most Aussies will signal them to move in and then that driver would signal with a type of thank you wave/hand signal. It's just how we were raised.
In my experience Aussies will always stop to help anyone. Last week I pulled over to take a phone call, 4 cars stopped to ask if I was ok - I live in the mid-north of South Aust and was in the middle of no where!
You know what mate, I'm grateful that you put the effort in to learn our culture. Every time you paused the vid to point out signs, I was amazed by what u related said sign to the right place of business, even though you've never been here before.. All it takes is some TH-cam videos and a solid aussie community to keep one motivated to learn. Kudo's to u mate! :D
the clip around 13:33 what they did was push-start the bike, its what you do if you have a flat battery, busted ignition or cant kick-start. its easier to do down hill because you roll the bike while its in 1st or 2nd gear with your hand on the clutch and when you pick up enough momentum you let go of the clutch and this cranks your bike over to start 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 remember when there was severe flooding in my area (extremely rare in wa) and some guy with his off-road modded ranger was towing a hydrolocked civic out of a traffic light intersection. The actual tow truck was stuck in the queue about 300m away but had no way of getting there. Really made my day when i saw it
The Burger King trademark name was already taken in Australia. So they called it Hungry Jacks. Hungry Jacks tried to purchase the Burger King trademark, but failed. In the late 90s the Burger King trademark expired in Australia. In 2001 Hungry Jacks finally got their Burger King trademark in Australia, but after years attempting to acquire the Burger King name. The fast food company made a surprise decision. They ended up keeping the Hungry Jacks name in Australia because it was already well established. But now they own the Burger King trademark so nobody else could take it.
well, we all know, the burgers are better at hungry jacks. who is this "KING" fool. aussie burger is the best burger. if you think otherwise, im sorry, your wrong.
This is my favourite DashCam video, which I have watched a number of times already. Watching it with you was even more fun and heart-warming. Thanks Ian, you rock!
Wow, that sheep got some major hops. Dude made a great catch. With those skills he could have played cricket, footy, rugby or American Football. "Fair catch", that's one of the best I have ever seen. Then again that is the first time I've seen someone catch a flying sheep. I'm guessing he is a sheep farmer. But he would have been a great fullback or keeper. Wicket keeper or Goalkeeper.
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*
2:35 that dudes a real legend, if it was me, most i could do is go behind, get out of my car and run to the truck and get in to stop it. He literaly let his ute get real ended, depends on what car u own but if i got real ended, it would probably cost around 10-15k in repairs. 4:10, i live pretty close to that location and that first car probably went to fast and stopped in the middle on the red light so they couldnt go further because that would be running a red light. There was once when there was a huge spider on my car window and just in time i closed the window or it would have crawled in and bit me. Ive seen spiders many times in home even though my house is pretty clean and tidy. 16:14 is the same intersection on 4:10. the sheep takdown was awesome! 17:40, u are correct, that is a coles, holden dearlerships are still open but the company is not making anymore new vehicles. they just service and sell used vehicles. 20:51 the dude who got the ballon is a cop, most likely nsw police
17:07 Drakes Supermarkets, Caltex Woolworths, Target and Nissan Drakes used to be Drakes IGA but they split off to start their own Woolworths-like chain. But that one used to be a Woolworths as Woolworths moved up the road to a new shopping centre they built. Speaking of phasing out, Woolworths sold Caltex Woolworths to Euro Garages and Caltex Australia was fired by Chevron who re-entered the market by buying Puma Energy Australia, so now they are phasing out the Caltexs in favour of AMPOLs (their co-predecessor) and probably EGs.
One morning I was driving to college in an old Ford Telstar, stuck in peak hour traffic (middle lane, 3 lanes), Gympie rd, Brisbane. Suddenly a huge huntsman spider (large as the span of your hand) crawls accross the windscreen and onto my open drivers side window, onto the top of my seatbelt bracket and thankfully back out the window.....I almost had a accident, panic attack, freaked out completely and to make matters worse, I had to use a set of pliers to wind the window back up as the handle had fallen off....I have arachnophobia ..... scary stuff 😅
Made my day :) . Queensland is The Sunshine State. In the vicinity of sheep stations out west, there can be thousands of sheep being shepherded (like) across the road. Roads are often private property so you just have to wait. Cheers.
Once was leaving a parking complex in Tassie and my Volkswagon Polo decided to shut down on the way out. It was night and a kind stranger came out of nowhere and helped push my car onto the side of the road to avoid disrupting the entrance. It's stuff like that you just don't forget.
Queensland is the Sunshine state. The black VW was broken down on Coronation Drive in Brisbane, which is the state capital city. A major road into the CBD. Not where you want to have car trouble.
Another great video, and yes for the better part, Australians will go out of their way to help another. Which as you have said is Great to see in these times. So yes the Sunshine State is Queensland. Coles is a Major Supermarket here in Australia, We all so have Woolworths, Independent Grocers of Australia (IGA) and Aldi, of and Private Grocers as well You are also correct about that being a Holden Dealership, and yes they are becoming Less and less, as the Parent Company in the US said it was too expensive to continue manufacturing the with us being Right-hand Drive. Our Holden Dealership saw the light and is now our Ford Dealership (Plus many more). I also wanted to say I was watching one of the last Mail unboxing, and saw that you got some stuff from Bunnings. These guys are really only new to Australia (possibly last 10 years, maybe longer in the Capital cities) But we also have Mitre 10, Which has been around for a very longtime, I am sure there are others but not out in our Rural Areas, that I have seen. Anyway I hope and Pray that you and your Family are all doing well. I think it really adds that extra personal touch and shows that the whole family are involved and agree whole Heartedly with you and your new experiences with Australia. Keep up the Great Content. Take Care Gordon - NSW
@@yoluko4750 As I Stated, that I was unaware of it, and it was probably in Capitals etc for longer, the Bunnings I go to opened in 2012, which was 9 years ago, and yes I did some research to find out that Bunnings started in 1886 or there abuts over in WA. And since I am in my 50s I can only type What I Know. But Thanks.
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.
Love seeing Aussie’s being Aussie’s 😝 As a teenager a friend had a car that had to be pushed to start funny enough us girls never had to push 😅 guys would always be jumping out their cars to help us
Sunshine state is Queensland, I was once riding a bike from Sydney to Cairns one time and just as I was crossing the boarder into Queensland there’s a large sign saying welcome to the sunshine state just as it started to rain , not ordinary rain but heavy tropical rain and it didn’t stop for the next four days and nights 😂😂😂😂🐨🦘🇦🇺
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
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.
It's funny when Beaty started to call us the smart state. Honestly if you have to declare your smart you're not as smart as you think you are😁 I prefer the sunshine state at least our warm weather backs that one up.
8:48 Burger King and Hungry Jacks did partly coexist originally, until the early 2000s when Burger King attempted to fire Hungry Jacks and lost on grounds of fraud, then Burger King sold their assets to a franchisee then to Hungry Jacks.
The motorcycle at 13:30 was looked like a bump-start. He either had a flat battery or his starter motor broke. So the guy just pushed him enough to pop the clutch and get the engine running again.
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.
I love the spiel about the community and your videos ❤ Buuuttttt You totally missed the big ass Brown snake slithering on the road at 12:00 another indication you're in Australia 😅
This isn’t in a car or anything but when my now teenage kids were small I went grocery shopping with my 6yr old 3yr old and newborn baby. I always had them hold the trolley tight when we were out in the parking lot. But this particular time my baby woke up and started crying at the checkout. And 2 nice firefighters helped unload my trolley at the checkout and then into the trolley and even helped me load them into the boot of my car! I’ve had some rude people being pregnant and having a small baby but this really made me smile. That’s what being an Aussie is all about. Helping people. Being a mate. I love these people on the road helping out other people. 🙂❤️
Aussie mate ship is the way we live...we help each other, and we don't yell motherxxxxxxx, or eff you at each other. Queensland is the sunshine state. The stalled motor cycle may have had a flat battery and needed a clutch start for it to restart.
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
It's funny that spider doesn't phase me. You just grow up with it and get used to it here. It happens to me at least twice a year where there is a huntsman in my car. They are pretty much harmless. A bite is not much more serious than a bee sting. Huntsman spiders keep other more venomous spiders away. If I have one inside my house I just leave it be.
Aussies are generally very friendly and when a person/persons are in need we will assist and not expect anything in return. We are also consistently donating to any cause, disaster, hardship towards anyone or anywhere in the world. I believe it is just a part of our nature and goodwill to all.
This is also where our “no tipping” attitude comes in. We kind of expect people to do the right thing and not to ask for a reward for doing it. It is taught to us at an early age.

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!
For a vehicle, in Aus we say-> Hood= bonnet. Trunk=boot. Great video amongst so much negativity. Thanks!
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.

You guys seen that Oz highway patrol where a kid gets a speeding ticket and gives the cops heaps of attitude?
He speeds away and on cop says “he’s doing 60 again. Should we give him another ticket?”
Laughs - yeah, ---- it, why not!”
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 the balloon saver was a Police Officer. Sunshine state is Queensland who also carry the tourism slogan “beautiful one day, perfect the next”. In Australia, we refer to good deeds as mateship. Cheers from Down Under 😉🇦🇺
We in OZ like to say of QLD, "Beautiful oneday, Japanese the next".

I was on crutches a few months ago
If I was in a shop I was constantly stunned by home many people offered to help me or carry things to my car.
Mostly Australians are good people
It restored my faith in humanity
Good deeds warm the cockles of our hearts. No matter who or where you are. Even telling a stranger that their outfit looks nice on them brings happiness. It all helps in passing it forward.
It’s called Hungry Jacks in Oz because when they came here there was already a business named “Burger King”, so they had to call it something else, ala Hungry Jacks. We call them Highway Patrol cars “Candy Cars” because theyre so colourful like a bag of Skittles.
Mate you know enough about us now, youd pass the citizenship test easy as…. Imo you are an Aussie already mate
It used to be Burger King until the lawsuit in 2002, they ceased operations and transferred all their assets to Hungry Jacks who took over all the Burger Kings. I remember it being Burger King here when I was a kid, I used to eat it often. Now Burger King is sort of back in Australia as Carls Jr which is another burger franchise owned by them, Burger King bought Carls Jr (an American burger franchise originated in California) in 2010. Though Carls Jr Australia isn't owned by Burger King directly, they pretty much operate here as Carls Jr since it's being franchised here, and a Famous Star tastes identical to a Whopper.

when someones in trouble...always count on an Aussie to lend a hand...and expect nothing but a thanks or a hand shake in return..its just how we are wired... the rest of the world could learn a thing or 2 from us
Agreed!
Bill, it's our heritage our tradition and time we all realised it and embrace it as our tradition, we often forget that we do have one!
Banished here under the harshest of conditions, to hard labour and servitude, lashings and the cruelest of treatment. At the end of out term released with nothing but the clothes on our backs and always looking over our shoulder at the establishment (the British) and the original people who saw us as invaders. The only way to survive was to "count on a mate" for help and support, that irreverance for authority and "give a bloke a go" and "fair crack of the whip" and our always being there for and supporting the underdog "need a hand Mate" it is in our DNA and why we are who we are. So when others put on their national dress and embrace their long held traditions and customs, we live ours every day! So very proud to be Australian 💕🇦🇺
@@cbisme6414 need a hand mate...that should be on our flag/flags depending on how you look at it..them 4 words describe our nature better than anything else
Very well said Bill.
I married a 5th generation Aussie. Our sons are 6th and this year we now have the 7th.
My husband was a country boy and he taught his sons well, you never go past someone in need of a helping hand, either on the road or anywhere. It doesn’t take much as the video showed. I emigrated as a child, now a proud Australian 🇦🇺 by choice.

Interesting fact about motorcycle riding in New South Wales. When you get your licence to ride a bike in NSW, you have to do a course first. The first thing you have to be able to do is pick your bike up off the ground by yourself. If you can’t do it, they fail you and send you home right then and there. When I did my course it happened to a kid in my group, he tried to pick up the bike (a little Honda 250cc) for what felt like a really long time but just couldn’t get the thing upright. The instructor gave him so much time but the poor kid just couldn’t do it.
Same happened to me. Bikes are heavier than they look and I was a 49kg youngster 😂😂
Its also not all of nsw western areas don't have to do the course.
Yeah well female cops should be able to drag there crippled 100kg + partner out of harms way but equality
13:55 They were jump starting the bike, when a car or bike doesn't start (and it's manual) you hold the clutch in, get someone else to push it as fast as they can and then dump the clutch in second gear with the ignition on which causes the car/bike to start.
With most cars being automatic these days, this is almost a lost art. People have never been able to do it.
I have an old video on how to do that with my old manual trans Saturn VUE haha
@@glennarmstrong7891 I know how 😉 I wasn't aware that is what they were doing in time haha
I use 2nd gear, lower compression, more chance of a successful push start, easier on the blokes helping out and definatly easier when your by yourself, i push started a HZ Kingswood by myself, couldn't get it 1st, switched to second, boom, first time, used 2nd ever since..lol
I used to have to do a hill start every morning in winter with my old 1975 Mitsubishi Galant - it didn’t like the cold. Sucked if it didn’t start by the time I ran out of hill.
Loved the cheer you gave the two lads getting the forby up onto the median strip.
The guy at the start with the black Triton, well done, that clips almost gets me every time.
I was told on visit to NYC that Aussies were great never complained and would push the bus on tour if it broke down. I was very happy to hear this.
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.
We don't have Dashcam but My Sister and I live about a 15 minute drive from Atherton. Where The Atherton Tablelands, Far North Queensland (it's up a Mountain Range behind Cairns) gets it name from. While still a Country Town it's pretty busy, everyone does their shopping there. If the Flow Of Traffic isn't to heavy My Sister will stop the car for Pedestrians Trying To Cross The Road. So they don't have to stand around in The Sun or Rain too long. It also a Popular Tourist Destination you get practically everything except The Great Barrier Reef that you'll find on Coast. With Cooler Temperatures, many Tourists visit both. Every year plenty of visitors decide they like the area so much they'll move here. In general we're pretty considerate. Except when someone is driving Too Far under the speed limit, even then We generally won't Yell About it. We'll usually say "Hello!", stop to talk to people or Help Others. At Supermarkets it's common for a customer at a checkout to put a divider in place for next customer. I'm 5'9 with a long reach and was raised to be A Lady. With Simple Elegance as well as being Good to others. I routinely hold doors open for people. If someone does that for Me, I make a point of Thanking Them. In Shops and Supermarkets I regularly help people who can't reach items they want. Sometimes if I see that items on higher shelves are too far back I'll pull them closer for other customers.
Grew up in Cairns and regularly camped around Lake Tinaroo on the Tablelands. I have fam in Ravenshoe nowadays. I love where I live in Victoria, but the Tablelands are a great place to visit!
Yeah I grow up in Mt Druitt, Sydney's west and a lot of ppl do that here too. It's not about where you live, it's about being raised with respect and human decency
Hi Ian, l live in the remote part of the country and thought all city drivers were mad, but this video's shown that there are good people on the roads, cheers mate, Neil.

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.

His latest had me cackling!!
Yes! Would love to see @iwrocker react to Jimmy 🤣
Jimmy is brilliant.
Jimmy Giggle is the best!!
That adorably polite and posh "thank you very much" in the first clip always gets me 😭❤
Always makes me proud to see so many Aussies helping each other out and being wholesome. You look after your mates and they'll look after you. And if we're all mates then that makes it true unity ^-^
That's the Aussie way!! Same as when you're in a queue of busy traffic and someone wants to enter from the side road, most Aussies will signal them to move in and then that driver would signal with a type of thank you wave/hand signal. It's just how we were raised.
In my experience Aussies will always stop to help anyone. Last week I pulled over to take a phone call, 4 cars stopped to ask if I was ok - I live in the mid-north of South Aust and was in the middle of no where!
Is Golden North ice cream still made? Best ice cream ever.
Love dash cams Aus, the channel that makes me remember to drive safely and better to be late than to speed 😝
You know what mate, I'm grateful that you put the effort in to learn our culture.
Every time you paused the vid to point out signs, I was amazed by what u related said sign to the right place of business, even though you've never been here before..
All it takes is some TH-cam videos and a solid aussie community to keep one motivated to learn.
Kudo's to u mate! :D
the clip around 13:33 what they did was push-start the bike, its what you do if you have a flat battery, busted ignition or cant kick-start. its easier to do down hill because you roll the bike while its in 1st or 2nd gear with your hand on the clutch and when you pick up enough momentum you let go of the clutch and this cranks your bike over to start it
This is very common here. We all look out for each other. I’m glad you got to see Aussies taking care of Aussies
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 remember when there was severe flooding in my area (extremely rare in wa) and some guy with his off-road modded ranger was towing a hydrolocked civic out of a traffic light intersection. The actual tow truck was stuck in the queue about 300m away but had no way of getting there.
Really made my day when i saw it
The Burger King trademark name was already taken in Australia. So they called it Hungry Jacks.
Hungry Jacks tried to purchase the Burger King trademark, but failed.
In the late 90s the Burger King trademark expired in Australia.
In 2001 Hungry Jacks finally got their Burger King trademark in Australia, but after years attempting to acquire the Burger King name. The fast food company made a surprise decision.
They ended up keeping the Hungry Jacks name in Australia because it was already well established.
But now they own the Burger King trademark so nobody else could take it.
well, we all know, the burgers are better at hungry jacks. who is this "KING" fool. aussie burger is the best burger. if you think otherwise, im sorry, your wrong.
This is my favourite DashCam video, which I have watched a number of times already. Watching it with you was even more fun and heart-warming. Thanks Ian, you rock!
Wow, that sheep got some major hops. Dude made a great catch. With those skills he could have played cricket, footy, rugby or American Football. "Fair catch", that's one of the best I have ever seen. Then again that is the first time I've seen someone catch a flying sheep. I'm guessing he is a sheep farmer. But he would have been a great fullback or keeper. Wicket keeper or Goalkeeper.
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*
2:35 that dudes a real legend, if it was me, most i could do is go behind, get out of my car and run to the truck and get in to stop it. He literaly let his ute get real ended, depends on what car u own but if i got real ended, it would probably cost around 10-15k in repairs. 4:10, i live pretty close to that location and that first car probably went to fast and stopped in the middle on the red light so they couldnt go further because that would be running a red light. There was once when there was a huge spider on my car window and just in time i closed the window or it would have crawled in and bit me. Ive seen spiders many times in home even though my house is pretty clean and tidy. 16:14 is the same intersection on 4:10. the sheep takdown was awesome! 17:40, u are correct, that is a coles, holden dearlerships are still open but the company is not making anymore new vehicles. they just service and sell used vehicles. 20:51 the dude who got the ballon is a cop, most likely nsw police
17:07 Drakes Supermarkets, Caltex Woolworths, Target and Nissan
Drakes used to be Drakes IGA but they split off to start their own Woolworths-like chain. But that one used to be a Woolworths as Woolworths moved up the road to a new shopping centre they built.
Speaking of phasing out, Woolworths sold Caltex Woolworths to Euro Garages and Caltex Australia was fired by Chevron who re-entered the market by buying Puma Energy Australia, so now they are phasing out the Caltexs in favour of AMPOLs (their co-predecessor) and probably EGs.
Yes it looks like Murray Bridge South Australia! Bridge Street and Swanport Road.
17:07 it is a Holden Dealership, It's Duttons in Murray Bridge, South Australia..
One morning I was driving to college in an old Ford Telstar, stuck in peak hour traffic (middle lane, 3 lanes), Gympie rd, Brisbane. Suddenly a huge huntsman spider (large as the span of your hand) crawls accross the windscreen and onto my open drivers side window, onto the top of my seatbelt bracket and thankfully back out the window.....I almost had a accident, panic attack, freaked out completely and to make matters worse, I had to use a set of pliers to wind the window back up as the handle had fallen off....I have arachnophobia ..... scary stuff 😅
Made my day :) . Queensland is The Sunshine State. In the vicinity of sheep stations out west, there can be thousands of sheep being shepherded (like) across the road. Roads are often private property so you just have to wait. Cheers.
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! 😊
Once was leaving a parking complex in Tassie and my Volkswagon Polo decided to shut down on the way out. It was night and a kind stranger came out of nowhere and helped push my car onto the side of the road to avoid disrupting the entrance. It's stuff like that you just don't forget.
"Dunno what happened there"
He bump-started the bike.
In today's nutty world, so happy to see decency is still well and truly alive down under! Stay safe, mate!
Queensland is the Sunshine state. The black VW was broken down on Coronation Drive in Brisbane, which is the state capital city. A major road into the CBD. Not where you want to have car trouble.
Was just looking to see if anyone let him know it was Qld, Coro Drive.........It was only a a hop, skip & a jump from North Quay!
Another great video, and yes for the better part, Australians will go out of their way to help another. Which as you have said is Great to see in these times.
So yes the Sunshine State is Queensland.
Coles is a Major Supermarket here in Australia, We all so have Woolworths, Independent Grocers of Australia (IGA) and Aldi, of and Private Grocers as well
You are also correct about that being a Holden Dealership, and yes they are becoming Less and less, as the Parent Company in the US said it was too expensive to continue manufacturing the with us being Right-hand Drive.
Our Holden Dealership saw the light and is now our Ford Dealership (Plus many more).
I also wanted to say I was watching one of the last Mail unboxing, and saw that you got some stuff from Bunnings.
These guys are really only new to Australia (possibly last 10 years, maybe longer in the Capital cities) But we also have Mitre 10, Which has been around for a very longtime, I am sure there are others but not out in our Rural Areas, that I have seen.
Anyway I hope and Pray that you and your Family are all doing well.
I think it really adds that extra personal touch and shows that the whole family are involved and agree whole Heartedly with you and your new experiences with Australia.

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.

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!!
It’s just a Huntsman, but when it walks across your windscreen, it can startle you enough to cause an accident.
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.

8:48 Burger King and Hungry Jacks did partly coexist originally, until the early 2000s when Burger King attempted to fire Hungry Jacks and lost on grounds of fraud, then Burger King sold their assets to a franchisee then to Hungry Jacks.

This isn’t in a car or anything but when my now teenage kids were small I went grocery shopping with my 6yr old 3yr old and newborn baby. I always had them hold the trolley tight when we were out in the parking lot. But this particular time my baby woke up and started crying at the checkout. And 2 nice firefighters helped unload my trolley at the checkout and then into the trolley and even helped me load them into the boot of my car! I’ve had some rude people being pregnant and having a small baby but this really made me smile. That’s what being an Aussie is all about. Helping people. Being a mate.

It's funny that spider doesn't phase me. You just grow up with it and get used to it here. It happens to me at least twice a year where there is a huntsman in my car. They are pretty much harmless. A bite is not much more serious than a bee sting. Huntsman spiders keep other more venomous spiders away. If I have one inside my house I just leave it be.

Aussies are generally very friendly and when a person/persons are in need we will assist and not expect anything in return. We are also consistently donating to any cause, disaster, hardship towards anyone or anywhere in the world. I believe it is just a part of our nature and goodwill to all.
This is also where our “no tipping” attitude comes in. We kind of expect people to do the right thing and not to ask for a reward for doing it. It is taught to us at an early age.
