    I had visited almost 60 countries before I finally got round to Australia and NZ. One of the biggest mistakes of my life. I should have chosen them first because they are, without any doubt, the best two countries I have ever been to, by a country mile. The people, the flora and fauna, the weather, the space, the laid back culture. I could live there tomorrow in a heartbeat.

      Thinking that your country is heading into a bad direction is pretty common across the globe. People tend to hyperfocus on bad things and get paranoid. I don't know much about Australia, but if Europe could handle being the epicenter of ww2 and come out ok, Australia should be able to handle whatever struggles it faces rn. In my country Australia have a really good reputation. Sry for bad english.

      Yes, I've been overseas and Australia is very beautiful, you must hire a car and head for the central coast of NSW, the rivers, the forests and the ocean with village towns t'out, don't forget the Sydney Harbour with all the cliffs, amazing, in saying that every State has it's beauty. Love to see more people visit, the Tableland near Cain's, such mountainous country just gorgeous, you can say it's expensive but you also can do it on the cheap. Melbourne for its art culture, Sydney for its cosmopolitan, Brisbane a growing City but has great nightlife and not far from beautiful beaches with that white sand, Adelaide and Perth travel to the greatest vineyards, Tasmania very similar to NZ, beautiful rivers and with a charm, musn't forget those beaches, yes we have it all. Come to our shores you won't regret it, most people will give you a helping hand, and if you feel sick just call in to a free hospital. I could go on but won't bore you. I have travelled and manage to see beauty in all other countries but came to the conclusion we have it all in Australia.

    In the first half of the 20 th century, the drinking age in Australia depended upon local jurisdiction and ranged from 18 to 21. However, during the Vietnam War, the age was reduced to 18 on the grounds that a person who could be conscripted to fight and die for their country should also have the right to drink alcohol.

It's quite surprising to see in the modern day, and it might be an interesting topic to make a video about, though there might be more to it than I'm aware of.

    I am from Sweden and never been to Australia although I am thinking to go there and study! The only thing I have difficulties with is the accent, need to pay more attention to the things they say so its easier to understand americans! Need to stop australians every once in a while and say "what the fuck did you just say there?" 😂

    • @alishajade5621
      @alishajade5621 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Haha! I am an Australian and I can totally understand why our accent is difficult for you! Sometimes, especially when people speak quickly, even we struggle with it! Luckily, in the more metropolitan areas (including suburbs near the cities) the accent is less relaxed and so is easier to understand. I'd say just remember the 'r' isn't really pronounced (unless it's at the end of a word before another word with a vowel at the start, e.g,. 'car is'), and try to listen past the mumbling sound, and you'll be okay. Besides, people often take care to speak slower/clearer when talking to a foreigner, because we know our accent is really confusing. (I would have said that like 'Besides, people offen tayke kehh to speak slowah/clearah when torking to a foreignah, becoz we kno owh accent iz really confusing.')
      But your English seems damn good, so I'm sure you'll be fine at navigating our accent once you're exposed to it a bit more. I've always wanted to visit Sweden tbh. What's it like there for a tourist?

      You'll find if you come here you'll adjust very quickly to the accent. The reason why you'd find the American accent easier to understand is because you've been exposed to it more. But our brains are quite amazing at adapting. After a short time being surrounded by another accent, your brain switches to that accent being the normal.
      Then what is hilarious... Is when you listen to your own accent it's quite shocking.
      I experienced this in Canada. Where I got used to the accent and stopped noticing it. And then the Australian election happened so Mum and I watched the Australian news. And we were flabbergasted by our own accent.

    I'm from Mexico, a very distinct place in comparison to your country in so many levels. It isn't easy to say this but here is more like what they call as "third world", and I think Australia is the very first as I can see on this great window to the universe so called internet.

    It sucks that we become numb to good things. Most accurate saying ever - You can have too much of a good thing. I've lived in Burleigh waters for a little over 12 years now and I'm sick of it here, I hate the muggy months, beaches are boring and I almost never go there anymore. Almost all of my time is spent in my air conditioned room on my computer. I sometimes walk Cavill Ave on the big nights (Australia day, new years eve, etc). One thing that remains true is that some shops in surfers paradise have the best fish and chips on the planet! my subjective opinion of course, though every time I'm in surfers it's tradition now that I get fish and chips and I've not yet been let down, always consistently awesome.

    Although the nature is beautiful and people are extremely friendly, Australia is behind God's back...."Down under" as it is well said by them. It is isolated. People who grew up there are not even aware of it, as I experienced, they think AU is the middle of the world:) And the country itself is big, you drive for 10 hours from one place to another. Here, in Europe, everything is close, I love the diversity, you drive two hours, and find yourself in a completely different nation, culture.

      I am in my 60s, living in rural Victoria beside the Murray River. We have a shack 34 minutes drive from home and since I retired I spend usually 7-10 days at a time there five or six times a year, just me and my two border collie X kelpie dogs. I have been walking in the bush almost daily for 40+ years and I have only ever come across three snakes. (We have chooks and my hubby sees on average four or five in our backyard every year but I have never seen one.) Also despite travelling frequently on bush tracks I HAD never hit a kangaroo until about two years ago. The second one was in a 60km zone kms from the centre of town. (Not happy Jan!) The main rule of thumb in Australia is to just "let them be free." Our animals are as frightened of us as we are of them and problems usually only occur when we cross paths!

      I've seen a lot of red backs, couple of brown snakes and kangaroos. I'd say the most dangerous ones are the roos, they love the hop in front of your car from wherever they are hiding or even if they are 50 m from the road, they'll rush to cross in front of you as you're passing. I would only like roos if they were fly eaters which they're not, yet...

Apparently RACV sent an investigator to Bendigo but he hit a kangaroo on his way there up there. It seems a bit sus though. What's the point of sending anyone to physically investigate? The Skippies don't listen. They think jumping in front of cars is our national pass time. I've hit two roos in 40 years of driving ...and the first one was at Huntly on the outskirts of Bendigo! I could have saved the RACV bloke a trip to investigate! Have a good one!
