My gawd, this Brit made a terrible mess with this video.
Did you watch yesterday's video on 10 things not to do in the U.S.? Almost identical!
he would be a 5iver hired voice actor, probably not even made in a first world country
90% of the clips used were in Asian countries 😅
This is just a propa Gandalf video. Drive legally, don't smoke, don't drink n drive, don't litter and don't talk politics in case you point out aussies have no one to vote for they all work for the same people it's rigged and they are screwed.. lol ..
The narrator is a “Pommie” (derisive Aussie colloqualism for a citizen of Great Britain), but, of course, the ever vague Mr Was failed to pick up on the accent.
"How often does a monkey cross the road in Australia?" Ummm, about as often as a moose (from the clip before) 🙄 🤣 😂
Exactly this. No monkeys and no moose. WTF video!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Even Ryan knows thats not the Aussie flag!
No, it’s the Victorian flag.
@@bar-d1423 it's New Zealand flag dude.
@@bar-d1423you’re a funny one
I would not bet on it!
Number one thing not to do in Australia “ fly the f%@cking New Zealand flag” 😂😂
You got that spot on 😂
There Are So Many Kiwi's There They Might As Well!!!! Bwhahahahalololol😂😂😂
"Number 1: Don't discuss politics!"
*shows a NZ flag BACKWARDS* 🤦♂
It's a total take the piss vid, even cars have steering wheel on the other side XD
😆
"How many monkeys in Australia?"
Breaks rule No.1, almost immediately.
Absolutely stacks when I was a kid. Those toy ones. A Barrel of Monkeys lol
Yep, many would say 227 at the Federal level
Multiply the number of zoos by about 20?
He's a Brit and his first mistake was putting up the New Zealand flag. Talk about things not to do, yeah don't mix up the flags, not unless you want both Aussies and Kiwis to chase you down the road.
Also couldn't pronounce Australia. Kept saying something like Auster-ralia.
Stupid know all pom
I’m Aussie and I couldn’t give a crap if someone doesn’t know the flag lol
I think his first mistake was thinking...." Oh i know....I'll become a youtuber " .
That video was so bad it’s good! The stock footage was mostly from anywhere else than Australia. The car shots had the driver seat on the left. The New Zealand flag was shown. But the best was the monkey crossing the road!
I'm sure it was to get the comment section talking
It worked in that video and this one. Ryan didn't notice, you would think after all the videos about Australia he has watched, he would have thought there was something not quite right that flag
the monkey and the moose before it!
My backyard as an Aussie kid was full of monkeys up the backyard trees. Oh no, that was my brothers 🙉 😂
@@acatnamedtaz2167 But he did notice! He even guessed it was the NZ flag… I was surprised tbh
I had a Quick Look at his TH-cam page, lots of countries mentioned - interesting listening, he had, the rudest country, or something like tat, weird negative titles on some . As someone mentioned here, probably click bait.
The road you saw that you thought was an airport wasn't an airport, but is in Canberra. It's the view of Anzac Parade from the Australian War Memorial, looking towards Old and New Parliament Houses.
I had to go back and check after he said it to make sure my brain didn't stroke off!
looking back at it, the sped up car with headlights on the left looked like a blurred airplane with wings to me at a glance😂
Holy crap Ryan I don’t know where you got that video from but it needs to be buried at the bottom of hell. That guy had no idea what the hell was going on. What a dick lol. The way you were laughing and cretecting that video mate you should live here and already have citizenship mate. Please don’t do anymore with that guys videos. Have a great weekend mate. Cheers 🤙😎🇦🇺
My mate paid $70 bucks for a packet of smokes 2 days ago, $20 bucks a pack was about 40 years ago.
Shit hey! A pack of 20 here costs $15- , Marlboro, Winfield etc...the cheapest being $12-. For 100g tobacco $35- or two for $50-. We got it good but it sure makes it hard to quit.😂
Chop chop is the way to go. I get a pack of Marlboro 20's for $13. Even cheaper are a pack of Double Happiness at $9 a pack of 20's but they're disgusting.
@@JaqnTrump I'm in Australia mate I buy chop chop myself $30 per 100 cigs

No moose, no monkeys! 😆 You've got to lose all hope of a decent video when they start a video about Aus with the NZ flag 😆
Yeah, Looks like this clip was done by the ABC about 20 years ago. Absolutely Hopeless TV Network, and some Government MORON doing the Voiceover..
I think the top ten things not to do in Australia start with... 1. don't call the NZ flag as Australian.. 2. know that we don't have monkeys. 3. Don't not skip boring shit .
Ryan you passed!!
Yay, Ry!
Littering started becoming a no no in the early 1970's
The look on Ryan's face cracked me up after #5.
So much about this is fkd up. Where's the Aussies ... oh and the moose and monkeys? 👀
The helmet one is one of our best laws. Not wearing a helmet while biking is stupid.

Not true
Is this video meant to be for April fools Day?
Ryan, I thought you'd be able to tell the difference between a British and Aussie accent by now! Definitely not Aussie. What the heck were those animals?! In Oz, watch out for roos at dawn and dusk. No monkeys 🤣🤣🤣
No moose.
Chocolate mousse, yes.
There is no way this isn't either subtle satire or just Ai
Love how Ryan glossed over the moose but zeroed in on the monkey 😂. We have as many moose as we do monkey - none! Silly video.
I would add some other things not to do, rather than most of this list.
The MOST important one is: DO NOT travel in outback areas without a large container (for me 50 litres minimum) of drinking water in your vehicle. The roads can be rough, you can be stuck in dust storms or floods or other events-not always but it can happen. A good supply of drinking water is a necessary insurance. Plus you can stop anytime for a rest break & refresh. There are not many roadhouse type rest areas or servos. And any that are there shut at 5.00 pm.
The pure comedy of an American with no idea, trying to figure out what Australia is like, just cracks me up.
Nah, Ryan knows a surprising amount about Australia, actually! 🇦🇺 You haven’t seen enough of his vids
As he said,he watches to learn, not to have to correct the video.
He laughed as much as I did.
There’s a strict limit on how many cigarettes you can bring in to the country and we have very strict laws around where you can smoke. It’s usually a smoke free zone if it’s indoors and even outside there are areas where you can smoke but not just any place. There’s signs in most areas letting you know if you can smoke. I don’t smoke but my mother did so she would have to go outside when she wanted to light up.
He should have said that we also have huge fines for littering so everyone puts their rubbish in the bins and that includes cigarette butts.
It would have been more useful if he had said to always swim between the flags on patrolled beaches because it is often the tourists who drown by getting caught in rips at the beach or they will be attacked by sharks because they swim at feeding time. Always check for dangers at the beach before entering the water. Check signs for stingers and crocodiles in the north because our sea stingers can be fatal if stung. Learn how to treat snake and spider bites and how to identify the dangerous ones.
Hefty fines for tossing cigarette butts in Australia. They cause bushfires if you toss it out of a moving car.
You wrote :
"" They cause bushfires if you toss it out of a moving car. "
Q1: Who is the YOU that you are referring to ?
The word YOU refers to someone specific -
Who would that be exactly ?
Q2:Is the RISK any lesser when these cigarette butts
are tossed out of a Stationary Car -
and does it also apply to other vehicles besides cars ?
Your comment is very narrow in scope
@@andrew_koala2974
"The word YOU refers to someone specific"
No, it doesn't have to refer to someone specific.
@@andrew_koala2974 The way “you” is used here is very normal Aussie English, mate. My husband thinks the same as you, but he wasn’t born here, just sayin’ 😉
@@andrew_koala2974are you trolling, learning English, or on the spectrum?
@andrew_koala2974
1) you can be a general term as well as a singular term, eg “YOU need to eat” would be singular + direct whereas what was said in the original comment is a general term
2) yes it applies to all land vehicles and stationary vehicles (obviously depending where you are, in a city it’s very unlikely to cause a bushfire, in the countryside it’s much more likely)
That was not an airport though it was Canberra. It was just a road/ avenue leading to parliament house.
Yes, that was Parliament House at night.
And the flag was the New Zealand one. Well spotted.
Thats where u will find monkeys in Australia.
Hilarious how they are using scenes in this video which are definitely not Australia. As in driving on the wrong side, et cetera.
Please forget about this channel Ryan. Although the terrible quality of their videos can make it funny, no useful information whatsoever.
I loved the expressions on Ryan's face! 🤣
At 13 minutes when you were searching Canberra, yes it was. It’s Anzac Parade which leads to the Australian War Memorial. 😊 The view was looking from the War Memorial down across the lake and Old Parliament and New Parliament House.
Spot on
He does bring a good point about wearing helmets since they're mandatory (at least here in SA), whereas other countries don't require it. I believe they're commonly not worn in the Netherlands for instance due to the extensive bike infrastructure there and separation from motor vehicles. Here the bike infrastructure is more limited (depending on the area) and the roads are wider.
They're mandatory Australia wide.
Not to mention magpie season in Spring.
@@user-lm1re1sw2e Luckily in Tassie we don't have that problem. The magpies down here can't be arsed.
A fun film to watch about Australian culture is They’re a Weird Mob. Made in the 1960s. Love to witness your reaction
Nino culotta - great memories from NZ
Yeah, that was a really great film.
Self-made millionaire builder: “I don’t want my daughter marrying a brickie’s labourer!”
Daughter’s boyfriend: “Her mother did.”
Oh yes 😂😂😂
The new suburb where they were building “little boxes” houses was pretty much an inner suburb by the late 70s when I moved to Sydney .
Practically CBD by now, probably.
Zero monkeys unless you go to the zoo 😅. “Don’t ride a bike without a helmet” The look on your face was hilarious 😂
I could hear you thinking, “so obvious! What kind of idiot would ride without one?”
For Drink Driving, in Australia the limit is 0.05 (which is 0,5 grams/litre), which is considerably lower than in some other countries. Especially since 0.05 is when it has criminal offence, whereas some countries have that as a caution and fine. Some countries (UK, excl Scotland for example) don't have separate categories of drivers for their drink driving limits, whereas in Australia novice, probationary, extraordinary and commercial drivers have a 0 alcohol limit.
Your general knowledge is expanding, good for you. Tossing rubbish on the ground is littering, if spotted you most likely will be fined.
or told by someone to "pick it up and put it in a bin"
No 1, don’t discuss politics? 😂 That 50% of what I heard growing up lol. Dad wasn’t a polli but I remember Kim Beasley Snr and John Howard ringing and dad going to meetings with Bob Hawke. The atmosphere was fun sitting around the kitchen table listening to convos, not fighting, just discussing it passionately. My great grandfather was a politician during Federation, Minister of Mines. Never met him, only read about him. I wonder what number 2 is, only got as far as 1 😂
Hey Ryan, you’d probably be called Wuzza here!
A suggestion, maybe we could search for the very worst of this type of video? I reckon this one would be a contender.
Might be funny
Public transport is pretty good in the capital cities, but clearly beyond the cities it gets sketchy
Sunshine Coast buses are actually really good and will take you to lots of places and are relatively cheap.
the suburb next to mine is mostly new Australians, and garbage is everywhere. Mostly around the soccer fields after a weekend game. It takes some people a while to realize that rubbish goes in the bin.
yes we had that recently at our local park after some games on the weekend. The residents complained and it did not happen again.
I am guessing the person who made that video has never been to Australia. I also guess that Ryan twigged pretty quickly the degree of usefulness of the advice being given and realised that the comedy element was higher than the educational element.
The traffic lights on the Canberra airport "runway". As much as I like your vids, Ryan, I often come for what you miss as much as your enthusiasm.
Yes Ryan, at 13.00 it IS Canberra. That's the view from the War Memorial, looking down ANZAC Parade toward Parliament House, which is across the lake.
That first thing not to do is universal across any country.
Had an American visitor in Sydney. She wanted to see the Fairy Penguins (south of Melbourne) in the afternoon.
We are in Melbourne and our English visitors asked if we could go to Uluruh for the weekend.
Actually there are a few fairy penguins scattered around Sydney harbour but they are not common and do not perform for tourists.
@@user-lm1re1sw2e Yeah Nah .. Phillip Island was the preferred destination for the penguins.
@@jimcottee9187 I know. Have been there a few times. Stopped in San Remo and Cowes a couple of times. www.environment.nsw.gov.au/topics/animals-and-plants/native-animals/native-animal-facts/little-penguin/manlys-little-penguins/where-can-i-see-them
That said a tourist would be underwhelmed with seeing 3 or 4 penguins at Lion Island in Pittwater or Manly. Phillip Island is THE place to see penguins.
6:21 "Don't ride a bike without a helmet"
Your reaction: Priceless 😂😂😂.
Okay, let’s talk about speeding fines in Australia. I’m not sure about other States, but in Victoria, if you’re doing over the limit by less than 10kmh (6.2mph) you will be fined $247. Between 10kmh and 24kmh (15mph) over will get you fined $395. Between 25kmh over and 29kmh (18mph) the fine will be $543)
The next jump is from 30-34kmh (21mph) and you will pay $642.
You can see where this is going, but if you’re doing more than 25kmh (15mph) you will also lose your license for three months.
When it comes to drink driving, if you are over the legal limit of alcohol in your blood, it’s up to the magistrate (judge) who can fine you up to $3000 for your first offence. There are other penalties that are applied as well, so when people warn foreigners not to break the toad rules they’re not kidding around.
If you run a red light the fine is around $500.
If you touch a mobile phone or similar device while driving, it’s about $600.
Not wearing a seatbelt costs about $400.
So you see why this English guy says all that about road rules.
The fines are nothing to laugh at.
My word, you must know about everything about Australia and could live here no problem.
Regarding the politics, I think the better reason not to talk politics is because no one here actually wants to talk about politics. It could be bias from the areas I've lived in, but what your politics are is considered private.
As an Aussie I can offer you a few travel tips, if you’re staying for more than a month get a metro card, I’d recommend travelling to Sydney or NT.
Also the lit up opera house is during the annual light festival, Vivid, (really worth seeing btw) and while I’m not a Sydney local I go there annually (for vivid) I recommend staying in Darling Harbour as it gives relatively easy access to lots of places include the Chinese Garden and Paddy’s market. There are also multiple tram and ferry stops in Darling Harbour.
As an ex-smoker, I was acutely aware of its effect on the environment, but you're right, it wasn't enough to stop me. It did, however, make me more aware of where I disposed of my cigarette butt. Yeah, of course, there are smokers who don't care where they dispose of their butts, but many do. Non-smokers certainly care too.
I remember being stuck in a queue at Brisbane domestic airport. The vendor I needed was absolutely empty and calling last book ins, I literally had to jump over the fabric rails to get there creating a great deal of confusion. Just for fun they sent me through security with sensors for explosives etc. I came up positive as I'd been working in the coal mines with blasting crews and wearing socks that had been saturated with the explosives. Took some sorting out I was legitimate and made the flight.
That boat is MONA Roamer 1, one of two catamaran ferries that operate in Hobart between the city and the MONA site upriver
$20 a pack ! Try $50 plus . A bloody rip off .
Chop chop is the way to go. I get a pack of Marlboro 20's for $13. Even cheaper are a pack of Double Happiness at $9 a pack of 20's but they're disgusting.
Time to Quit
@@djvillanWhy would you buy chop chop, only encouraging the crims
@@djvillansince when did chop chop become malboro
So, stop smoking and save a lot of money, while improving your health at the same time.
9:30 yeah but what their bot telling you is:
A) the dropping rates of smokers is universal in the west, it has nothing to do with australias tax strategy.
B) we have one of the largest black markets for tobacco products in the west, because of the predatory taxs the government is claiming is for our own good
And c) we have the highest rate of pot smokers for a country that hasn't legalised yet in the world.
Ppl do discuss politics but usually within their own social circle. Definitely like any other country we aren’t to find of strangers discussing politics if they have not researched the topic.
Do t panic Ryan, we dont have sticks up our @rses and are pretty cruisey. We cut visitors a lot of slack.
In 1990 some friends of my parents were coming to Australia from the US and sent us a letter. “If it takes an hour to drive from Alice Springs to Adelaide we estimate it would take half an hour to drive from Adelaide to Melbourne. Is this correct?” 🤣
Take a shot every time the footage is actually Australian footage.
I’m stone cold sober.
I’m an Australian and I don’t understand why the American limit for alcohol is 0.08 here it’s 0.05, and also we have much harsher punishment for drink and drive. In Australia we also have vape bans and ads on them and also we have new smoking restrictions and bringing cigarettes through customs is expensive.
The narrator is English.
Good pickup on the flag, Ryan.
Not only do we not have monkeys, but we don't have a New Zealand flag either.
And you picked Canberra. Well done! That view was looking down ANZAC Parade from the war memorial towards Parliament House.
Seriously, that was the worst travel video ever.
The best part was watching your reactions to it 🤣
The only real thing about smoking that he didn't mention is that smoking is prohibited in National Parks! You can have a camp fire but don't dare light a durry. 🤡
5 is actually important. Unlike many countries where helmets are advised on push-bikes while being mandatory on motor bikes, they are also legally required and mandatory on push-bikes in many states in Australia. Hefty fines apply.
It is actually illegal to ride a pushbike without a helmet. And, as my son can attest, the fine for not wearing one can be bigger than the fine for speeding or not wearing a helmet. His last no helmet fine was almost $500
thank you for picking up on the stock footage used from other countries. i.e. Flag, moose, monkey... In regards to the bike, depending in which city you are in, you can receive a hefty fine. Yes, you can bring a carton of smokes, or 200 pieces if I recall correctly, but then again, I am not a smoker. On average, it is about $50Aud (about $33USD). In regards to littering, there used to be hotline that has now been disconnected to report "litter bugs". If you go to parks and some site seeing places, you might need to bring your own rubbish bag and take your rubbish with you, since they have removed plenty of rubbish bins, but in reality, it is a cost cutting / saving measure, since they do not need to employ cleaners and maintain bins, but it is passed on that "oh, the rubbish goes flying and endangers the wildlife (up to a point, yes).
$50 to $70 a pack of smokes
Non smokers don’t care how high the prices go for cigarettes. We don’t buy that crap.
What the heck? How is this even possible? Here in Austria it's €5.50 to €6.50 and people are already upset about the prices.
It wasn't Canberra Airport. It was Anzac Parade, which in one direction leads to the War Memorial, and in the other direction, you can see Lake Burley Griffin, Old Parliament House, and New Parliament House.
The cigarette issues is crucial in fire season. Unfortunately, a lot of bush fires start from dumped cigarettes that have not been put out properly.
We also have police performing random breath tests, which can catch out visitors.
Aussies also have a larger personal space requirement than people from some more populous countries. So be mindful of that in queues.
I think the only two half-decent bits of advice in that video were; don't litter and don't underestimate the size of the country. The former, especially regarding cigarette buds, is heavily frowned upon. The latter, many tourists assume they can just grab a coffee in Melbourne and then head on down to the Harbour Bridge in Sydney before taking a quick trip to Uluru. Ideally, you probably want to do a trip per state, especially if visiting Victoria or New South Wales, and as I experienced recently, Perth too.
I was so happy when I flew from Brisbane to Alice a few years ago - I chose to go via Cairns just so I could say I’d seen the reef in the morning & the Centre in the afternoon!
I’m a tourist now.
Don't call the Maori people and their language and traditions "Australian aboriginal" - and vice versa. At least you got the flag right in this one though so props for that! 😊
Insanely ignorant, isn't it?
Ryan, Smoking is a major issue in Australia, mostly because of the health effects - cancers of all types are a main part of hospitalisation.
Secondly, cigarette butts have been a regular cause of wildfires, along with lightning strikes, power tools and machinery accidents (eg. exhaust pipe next to dry grass)
As for importing cigarettes, there's a strict limit, of two packs, or 50 cigarettes.
Australians were not always so conscientious about not littering in public places. In the 1970s streets were always untidy, and after any public event parks, beaches and sporting facilities were a total eyesore. In that decade millions of Australian tourists started visiting such destinations as Japan (where deeply-ingrained social convention prevented such misbehaviour) and Lee Kuan Yew's Singapore (where the vigilant enforcement of draconian fines and a liberal measure of public shaming of offenders had quickly eradicated it). Australian Local Governments did sporadically impose small fines, but the Japanese model of internalised self-policing was the more favoured. A national public education campaign was launched, running for several years in schools and the media. (The two most prominent slogans, which are seared into the brains of people of my generation, were "Keep Australia Beautiful" and the "Do the Right Thing".) The more extensive provision of street furniture for the collection of rubbish (now divided into separate receptacles for recyclables and garbage) greatly reduced the inconvenience of complying with the new behavioural standard, and in time it became unthinkable for people to drop litter in the environment. The massive decline in the number of people who smoke has greatly helped in this respect as well.
We have no moose either. Where did they get this footage?
Come to Brisbane we are having a 6 month trial here when all the train, bus and fairy trips will be 50c
I can’t wait to ride on a fairy for 50c - I think it’s train, bus and FERRIES that will be 50c.
Oh I want a free fairy trip!
Yes Ryan, you know so much more than this guy!!! I do hope you get out here one day to get your own experience. That would be some great you tube episodes :)
Every car in that video was left hand drive but most cars in Australia the driver is on the right and we drive on the left
The fact that your default at 13:00 was "drop them off in the middle of the bush", which you then had to quality as "outback" for your non Aussie viewers, is a true sign that you're becoming an Aussie, Ryan.
Your face on point 5 as Captain Obvious spoke 😂😂😂
Point 11 was “don’t forget to wipe your arse after a shit”
Thanks for the entertainment. That video is hilarious. It’s like he’s talking to a three year old. 😂
The Lombok strait between Bali and Lombok is the major division point between Australasian fauna & flora to the east and Asian to the west. It's called the Wallace Line. Most Asian animals occur in Bali, Java, Sumatra etc but not Lombok, Sumbawa, Flores or New Guinea. The Lombok trench is 5,000 metres deep so no ice age would ever lower the sea level enough for a land crossing. Monkeys have made it as far as Timor but not tigers, elephants, leopards, and other Asian fauna.
He doesn't mention it's a dry country, so smoking habits, especially disposing of butts and matches has TO BE THOUGHTFUL - NOT TO START FIRES..Matches go back into boxes which really annoys visitors.
Smokes in New Zealand are at the cheapest $45.50nzd ($27 usd) for a pack of 20. If you want to roll your own smokes, tobacco averages $75 nzd ($62 usd) odd for 50 gms package.
I think the producer of the video is pulling your leg.
What u thought was Canberra Airport is not Canberra Airport but it is in Canberra
It's actually Anzac Parade, it has a number of major military memorials lining the street.
If u stand at the War memorial at the top of Anzac Parade u can see in a direct line the memorials, the old parliament house (the white building) and the new parliament house.
I think a lot of Australians would be interested in talking about American politics with Americans at this point in time. Just crazy-seeming over there right now.
The cars I've seen people driving in this video, are left hand drive. We do NOT drive on the left side of the car !!!
We do drive on the Left side of the road. But the steering wheel is on right side of the cars. Hopefully the driver is also on the right side of the car too! 😅
I tried queuing in China and quickly learned you'll stand there and never get served as everyone pushes in front of you. So yes, you got China right. The cool boat was the Mona Roma- the ferry to MONA in Hobart.
One thing to emphasise the distances between places - It's a long way from Melbourne to Brisbane (about 1,800km), and a further 1,680km to Cairns, and what surprises you...if you want to go to the very tip, Cape York...another 1,430km...and that's just up the eastern seaboard.
A pouch of tobaco in Australia is now A115.50 which is 10 to 12 times the cost in the eu and 50 times the cost in asia.
We probably have more monkeys than moose (they’re less portable). About littering: A guy at the crosswalk chucked his cigarette stub on the sidewalk beside the dead grass in summer. I lept out of my Uber & disposed of it properly before returning to the car. The driver wasn’t mad, just sorry he couldn’t do it. Something that small can do a lot of damage, littering can be serious business. For half the year it’s much more likely to kill you than some random animal. 13:05 dude that’s the Australian equivalent of Capital hill
Fun fact Australia is one of the only countries that bear grills struggled at
No monkeys or moose as pictured, plus that guy was driving on the right hand side lol
in many pubs, you often see a sign saying politics and religion are banned, due to the fights it has caused
My late Canberra born Mum always refused to discuss religion or politics. That video was hilarious
My friend told me that when she was in Texas she forgot she was in America and started driving on the wrong side of the highway. A bus had to stop her for everyone’s safety.
That's not an airport - it's Australia's main Street: Anzac Parade, heading to the Australian War Memorial with Mount Ainslie behind it with kangaroos and the eternal blue and white search light lookout, and at the other end is both the old and new Parliament House over the Molongolo River to Capitol Hill. Along the Parade are monuments/memorials to all the wars.
You can only bring in 50g of tobacco products into a Australia...so basically a pack of cigarettes or a pouch of tobacco. I haven't smoked in almost 15 years , so I don't really know prices, but I think a 50g tobacco is $70-$80.
So many of those images were not from Australia. Moose? Monkeys? Left hand drivers - our drivers sit on the right side here. One thing to add… don’t stir up snakes and don’t forget to check your boots for spiders in them. Oh, smoking harms our environment because cigarette buts (and even ash) have started bushfires when flicked out of cars. It gets very, very dry here.
