Aussie born and supported Arsenal since I was 10 years old just before the EPL came into existence. My twin brother follows Liverpool. Everyone here is biased towards their own sport but one thing that can’t be denied is that our national team the “Socceroos” hold the record televised viewing audience for a team sport in this country, so technically it is the number one sport. Also there are 400-500% more people who play the sport than rugby or AFL. It is a bit disguised because we watch the games at 3am and it gets no media coverage because the commercial channels can’t make money from running adverts every 2 minutes the game stops for substantial periods of time like in the other codes of football. I also read derogatory remarks on this channel about it being a “wog” sport. My family has been here since the 1800s and every farming community or town had a soccer team where I am from back in those days. AFL didn’t exist at that point and also had to wait to be later exported from Victoria for it to gain any interest. The club I predominantly played for was formed in the 1930’s when Australia still had the “White Australia Policy”. When I played semi-professional level though I did play for some clubs that were supported by an ethnic community who had substantial sums of money flowing through from gambling, bars, facilities and sponsorship. For every Mark Viduka, there is also a Harry Kewell.
You may already know this but never swim at a beach that’s not patrolled by lifeguards, and then make sure you swim between the red and yellow flags because that’s the sagest section of the surf for that day - no rips between the flags.
A lot of Aussies now support Spurs because of Big Ange Postecoglu especially in Melbourne where he is from, managed Melbourne Victory to Championship in 2011 and in Brisbane as he coached Brisbane Roar to win the A-League championship in 2012. Before Ange, Aussie followed big name Aussie players in the EPL like Craig Johnston at Liverpool in the 80s, Mark Viduka at Leeds in the 90s, Harry Kewell, Tim Cahill, Mark Schwarzer etc. I'm not even a soccer fan, I'm a rugby union man but we all love Big Ange.
Started watching football in the early 1970s when i was about 8 or 10 on our once-a-week Match of the Day which I think i recall on Monday at 6pm. As Leeds were highflyers then they were the team we saw the most and a lot of us adopted them. Been a lifelong suffering fan ever since (MOT). Now my son is and even has an Elland Road mock street sign blu-tacked to his bedroom door. Became obsessed with the beautiful game and have been a season ticket holder at Adelaide Utd in the A-League for many years. My brother lives on the Sunshine Coast and coaches one of the squads at Maroochydore Swans.
Yes we have Bhajis here 😊 By the way, that's an Australian Raven, bigger (and a bit smarter) than a crow, we have a few species of crow but not as common in populated areas.
I have two cousins who have lived in Coolum since the 70's. My aunty used to live in Maroochydore and I have gone for weekends since a teenager to the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and northern NSW. Brisbane old boy.
Australians call Football - Football (and yes we do support the EPL) - I am a Hammers fan, my eldest is City, Middle on ManU and youngest is Arsenal...
I lived at Peregian Springs, behind Coolum, until last year. Nice place. Now live further down the Sunny Coast. Nearly every day I'm in T-shirt, shorts and thongs (flip-flops). What was soocer is now being called football more often, with the other ball games being called (rugby) leage or union, and Aussie rules. My dad helped found a football club down in NSW, Bathurst 75.
Early Spring is great for sport. Through late September, you have all the football code's finals - NRL in Sydney and AFL at the MCG in Melbourne plus maybe a touring Rugby Union international side. Straight after the football in October you have the Bathurst 1000 motor race and on the first Tuesday in November there is the Melbourne Cup horse race known as the race that stops a nation. You will learn why it is called that on Tuesday 5th Nov 2024. Just about everyone in Australia will be glued to the TV to watch the race and it is even a public holiday in Melbourne.
Just found your channel and enjoying it you can get onion bhaji at Bombay Bliss in Maroochydore try Eumunji market in Eumunji only open a couple of days a week though
Oh fantastic, glad you enjoy our channel, thank you! Ooo we've been down to Eumundi Markets in one of our vlogs, we. Missed the Bhaji's though...Guess we will have to go back, what a shame 😉
Love your videos but just a practical suggestion, you need to get hats or at least caps if you going to walk outside a lot. Skin cancer is a big problem in Australia, particularly in Queensland. Cheers.
The crows are great, but this IS Australia, and if you're a stricken or dying animal it WILL come down and peck out your eyes while you're still alive.
Hahaha, that's so true! The wildlife here is relentless, I have a theory thats why people are so friendly, if they weren't the wildlife would rise up 😅
We have Onion Bhajis in Australia at most Indian restaurants. Have you ever had a haggis bhaji? I had one last time I was in Scotland. I follow the A-League in Australia- that's football. My team Western Sydney has just sign Juan Mata for the upcoming season. I've followed Liverpool in the Premier League since 1986 due to Aussie Craig Johnston playing for them. Your Queenslander locals and us Nsw folks watch rugby league, not AFL.
AFL is the black hole into which australian sport has disappeared. No one else plays it OS and it gobbles up all the money for other codes. I hate it !!!!
I live just down the road and it’s absolutely lovely in summer except for in the middle of the day when obviously it’s gonna be hottest. It’s one of the advantages of being coastal and having the seabreeze.
enjoy it all,, the new world,, you are taking it as it comes which is how to do it not compare with the dart , crystal palace , unfortunately the rubgy league has to much power , to let the other games spread ,
I played “soccer” as a kid ,1960s and with my mate from England saw the Manchester United team in Wollongong ,got autographs but sadly have lost the book ,told my son he was devistated..,,.?,””**
Welcome enjoy the sun the blue skies. the wide open spaces and Australian hospitality. Lovely little doggy. have fun and please take care.
Thank you for your wonderful advice ❤️

You want cold go down to Melbourne and experience a noise southerly coming up from Antarctica. 😆
Gheeez, we need some sun coming from the U.K😅

No way that's fantastic to hear, it sounds like your middle child has good taste if you ask me GGMU! 😉🔱

What a spot! The whole of the Sunshine Coast is unreal 😍
you would be surprised how popular Manchester is
It’s a popular place isn’t it! We are surprised when places like the Sunshine Coast exist though 😅
Nice to see you are on The Sunshine Coast. Gods country 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

Another fantastic vlog . Are you permanently living in Australia ? I love Manchester United and in Australia , I love Cronulla Sharks .
We're on a long term visa, with aims to one day be lucky enough to call this place home 🏠❤️
@@EatVentureVlog I wish you the best of luck and I hope you do live here because you are beautiful people ♥️
That carrot cake sounds like Hummingbird cake, which has pineapple in it.
Ooo I just googled this, it could of been one of these in small form? All I know for sure it was scrummy 😋🫶
@@EatVentureVlog Very easy to make, but what was missing in your little cake is the absolutely scrummy cream cheese icing.
The footy season is coming to an end. Watch some old matches online.
We sure will 🤩
Celtic and, (Unfortunatley) now Tottenham because of Big Ange!
Mate it’s not crown green bowling in Australia there are no crown greens here ! All bowling is on flat greens! 😊
Oh of course 😅😂
The mighty Panthers as I live in here in Penrith in Sydney for NRL. Sydney Swans for AFL. Soccer nah but all the "wogs" tend to follow it.
Thanks for the heads up!
typical ocker comment it will change with migration which this country is built on and dementia overtakes rugby , ask wally
@@alandavey3010 really, so what team you go for? I'd be guessing they ain't doing so well. 🙄
Btw I live in Brisbane came here 47 yrs ago from leeds 👍😁
Oh wow, it’s an upgrade from Leeds right 😅
Not a ball sports fan myself, so don't support any teams, but maybe you should go watch a Brisbane Roar home game, maybe we can get you to wear orange
We would love to do that! We’re going to do that for an upcoming video!
Born and bred manchester. united fan. been here since 1978. by th way it was 3 nil not 2 nil.
I knew it ended 3 nill don’t know why I said 2 think I was shattered! Thank you for commenting! Good to see a fellow untied fan 🙏
There's a crow. No, it's a trap, there's a murder of them!

Wow never had one of those, that’s a must try on the list!
AFL is the black hole into which australian sport has disappeared. No one else plays it OS and it gobbles up all the money for other codes. I hate it !!!!
You won't be loving it there is summer I can tell you. You'll be dying of heatstroke. 😂
Not when you’re surrounded by stunning beaches you won’t.
@@Glenn-ei3xp It's too friggen hot to go to the beach. You get absolutely fried.
Lots of indoor activities if that’s the case 😅
I live just down the road and it’s absolutely lovely in summer except for in the middle of the day when obviously it’s gonna be hottest. It’s one of the advantages of being coastal and having the seabreeze.
C,mon Blackburn Rovers...
Hopefully get back to EPL one day
💪
AFL - go Brisbane Lions
We need go to a game 🙌
enjoy it all,, the new world,, you are taking it as it comes which is how to do it not compare with the dart , crystal palace , unfortunately the rubgy league has to much power , to let the other games spread ,

Man United
Fella United fan 🔴
Slip, slop, slap. Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen and slap on a hat. Be sun smart and also seek shade. A melanoma is not worth sun worshipping.
Really appreciate this, your right 🙌
I played “soccer” as a kid ,1960s and with my mate from England saw the Manchester United team in Wollongong ,got autographs but sadly have lost the book ,told my son he was devistated..,,.?,””**
