So proud of you both. Great news on the fla❤
🥰
Congrats on starting a new job. Aussie working habits, 888, 8 of work, 8 of zzz, 8 of me time, & guilt free annual leave, enjoy, here’s to your future 🍾 🥂, cheers!
Thank you so much, really appreciate your support!!
SUGGESTION: Get out to Healesville Sanctuary. See some wildlife but especially the Lyrebird that mimics all the Birds as well as Chainsaws, Car Alarms, RobotR2D2 etc..unbelievable.
That sounds amazing i've seen videos of these around!!
the big block old mansion the same on northshore in sydney ! 2500sqm 1960s 7 bed mansion sold 20 million last year in Warrawee
Seriously impressive!!
Love this video! I can’t recommend kangaroo burgers enough - absolutely spot on for a BBQ, proper lean meat and tasty too. Also a Saint Kilda to Brighton run when you catch a good sunset is quality 🙌
With Vegemite spread it on toast with lots of butter or margarine. Most important spread it on lightly. Also slice of cheese with it goes well with Vegemite too.
Thanks for the tip!! We will try it soon 😄🍞
Head out to Belgrave on the train, take a ride othe Puffing Billy steam train. A must do for any visitor. It's absolutely magnificent.
We have seen this advertised! Definitley going to check it out!
Yeah Trudy, keep pushing with the job applications. Tends to be a numbers game. RSA course is a good idea. Once you do that, work will be available. Good luck.
Thanks Paul, really appreciate the support! :)
stick to it. you;ll get a job . no prob. be reminded. IT will rain any moment. You have a good you two. and take care Cheers
Hi Jules, THE RAIN WAS HEAVY TODAY!! Thanks for your comment!!
brighton is very expensive and poshy
dont be surprised if its 28m or 35c next week,. then rain again. Hope you settle in good.. its not a bad joint Melb..just a bit weird and corny.
you;ll never forget you are POMS, but soon you will feel like you are Aussies. Please keep blogging, looking forward to your progress. Thank you (just subbed)
Thanks Jules, appreciate the sub we will keep you informed, currently on a Tuesday,Thursday and sunday!
The kangaroo has been historically a staple source of protein for some indigenous Australians. Kangaroo meat is very high in protein and very low in fat (about 2%). Kangaroo meat has a very high concentration of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) when compared with other foods. CLA has been attributed with a wide range of health
This is really good to know because we both try to stick to a high protein / low fat diet! So we will be buying some more kangaroo or sure! 👌
Great to see you guys enjoying Melbourne, well done on the job, what will you be doing in that job ? Well done again.
Working in the motor industry! Really enjoying it already, thanks!!
Interesting and entertaining vlog - good luck with it all.
Thanks be sure to keep up with our vlogs we try to release 3 a week !
The beach is known locally as Dendy Beach.The buildings were originally built to be used as boat sheds.Over the years they have morphed into storage sheds for water sport equipment, beach furniture etc
They are also used as a safe financial investment.No more are permitted to be built and consequently the demand for the boat sheds has made them valuable assets
I've seen some crazy prices being talked about for those sheds!! Very cool thought that its like investing in an asset!
Oh and for my favourite pub suggestions close to you: the Middle Park Hotel, wonderful wedding cake Victorian building, great to soak up the sun - catch the light rail / tram from st kilda and alight at middle park stop.
Perfect thanks Jeremy we will check it out!
Great video guys
Congrats on the new job Edd
Before you know it Trudy the job requests will be flowing in
Thanks again Beermonster, been around from the early days now!! We appreciate you following along. Trudy is doing her RSA now too!
Love watching you both loving life x
Thank you!! ☺️ xx
You can get a combo sunscreen with insect repellent. I think cancer council do one. There are many brands out there.
You are right ive 100% seen one but cant remember the brand!
Another great vlog! I am loving experiencing my home through the both of you.
Congrats on the new job. I am only a few mins drive away from Brighton. I'm always there for my weekend brunch.
When the water warms up, there's a beach near Brighton where you can go hunting for fossils. From Fossilised coral, crustaceans are all very easy to find. You'll have to go into the drink if you're looking for larger megalodon teeth.
There's also the chance for you to see little penguins at the st Kilda breakwater at around sunset.
Thank you Tim, we really appreciate your support! We will definitely give fossil hunting a go, sounds so interesting! 😄
Keep the content coming as well guys we love it 💙
Cheers chop
You have to be a local resident to have a bathing box. They’re mostly used to store beach stuff and as shelters. They don’t have power or water but they sell for huge amounts of money.
We can't believe how expensive they are!! Thanks for your comment :)
Got a sore throat getsome eucalyptus lollies. 😎
Should do a toyr of the MCG Melbourne Cricket Ground. Im sure youll find it interesting and you'll get to see the whole place insude and out.
Sounds interesting, we'll look into it for sure!!
Melbourne Museum is good to see.
Nice one Robbie we will put it on our list!
@@TrudyandEddTravel Cheers mate 👍.
@@TrudyandEddTravel P.S. Eureka Skydeck you can see all of the city from there.
Now that the warmer weather is approaching, you`ll have to also try a Golden Gaytime ice cream. 👍
Ooo thanks for the reccomendation!
If you are having trouble getting a job. Take another approach. Pick where you want to work, then go in there, ask if they have any jobs, or any coming up and drop your resume off. Then also ask, if they know of any jobs anywhere else that they may know of Sometimes you will get to go to the HR department and while you are applying you may get an interview. Its not about waiting for it to come to you, but going out and getting it. Being confident. Particularly with marketing, that confidence and putting yourself out there is what they like. You can do that with hospitality. Definitely connect to people through communication. People tell you all sorts of things if you are prepared to listen.
Thank you for your comment! Once I have finished my RSA course I'm definitely going to be heading out and going into places. :)
With the vegemite , go to a bakery and buy a cheese and Vegemite scroll , so much nicer than just having vegemite on toast
Noted!! Sounds delicious!
I suggest doing the RSA ( responsible service of alcohol) and a Barista course Both are quick, not expensive and done pretty much at every TAFE. Look up courses at William Angliss in the city. The advantage is it is a Hospitality college and has connections to industry.
Trudy is currently doing her RSA online. So far so good! Thanks for your comment :)
the job scene is hard. keep trying, you will get something eventuallu!!! the hard work up trudy!
also loving the content!! guys keep it up
Thank you so much! We really appreciate the support 🤩
The boxes are bathing boxes , they sell for about $400,000au or more
$400k!?! We did not expect them to be so expensive!! 😳
Beach huts is what the UK call them. I grew up in Bournemouth ( beach resort WITH sand) and some of them cost about the same in the posh parts of Bournemouth too@@TrudyandEddTravel
Brighton Beach i used to go there as a kid.
It's lovely isnt it! 🏝️
@@TrudyandEddTravel it's ok. Sydney has much better beaches .
You must try a Tim Tam Slam!
They're next on our list!! Thanks for your comment.
Love the show guys, better than Neighbours 😂 Reminds me of when I emigrated 35 years ago - great big adventure with the road ahead wide open! BTW what type of visa are youse on? Working holiday ?
Thanks AGAIN Jeremy, Im taking that as a huge compliment haha, be sure to check out some other videos there all very much same style! YES Working Holiday visa
Requesting price check for coffees please, Ray would love to know!
It was $10 for both.. so around £5! Trudy got a large hazelnut cappuccino for £2 yesterday!
Tim Tam slam. Its the bomb 💣😎 bite off opposite corners and dip it in a coffee or hot chocolate and suck through the time tam like a straw. Once you get some though you need to then quickly put the whole tim tam in your mouth as it will melt quickly. Then you'll discover how your tsstebuds will bloe your mind. 😉
That sounds incredible!! We are both chocolate lovers, so can't wait to try it 😍
The owners paint them. Some are basic. Some have sofas etc in them. Illegal to sleep in them. Brighton is a suburb and one of the most wealthy in Melbourne.
One sold in feb for $400k (£200k)
There are more down the coast at Mornington and between Safety Beach and McCrae.
Oh wow, we can't believe the cost to purchase one, we really weren't expecting them to be so expensive!! Thanks for your comment 😄
With your visa do you need to do the Farm work to stay in Australia 🇦🇺 for a 2nd year or is your visa different to that?
@@bethtaig hi Beth, as of July 1st 2024 farm work / government approved work has been removed from the visa requirements! Meaning we can apply next year for our 2nd year without having to do it! 😀
Kangaroo is fine. As mince, it's essentially the same taste as lean beef. You might notice some slight difference if you ever have a kangaroo fillet.
Re: cappuccinos, the proper temperature is warm rather than hot, so as not to scald the milk. That's how most cafes serve it. Unfortunately, there are some fools in Australia who expect all coffee to be hot, so you probably struck a cafe that has customers like this. Trust me, if you ask for a 'hot cappuccino' in good cafes, like the Italian cafes along Lygon Street, they will probably chuck you out!
Noted, I thought that it wasnt meant to be 'to hot' as such!! suits me (Edd) because hot coffee takes me forever to drink!
SLIP SLOP SLAP AND WRAP is taught to children from an early age in Oz. Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen, slap on a HAT - a wide brimmed one (which I haven't seen on you, yet) and wrap on sunglasses. Australia's sun is extremely harsh, partly due to our land which is at the 'bottom' of the earth and the tilt of the poles making it nearer to the sun. We did also have a hole in the ozone layer which contributed to less protection but that has shrunk and moved further south now.
It is pouring rain and the weather bureau states that we might be in for another ' LA Nina' of wet weather (as opposed to 'El Nino' of dry weather) . Victoria's/Australia's weather in mainly influenced by the weather over the Pacific Ocean from South America, the weather from the Indian Ocean. These are called dipoles as they move forwards and backwards, taking years to do so, and the Southern oscillation from the Antarctic below. The farmers in the Western District of Victoria will be happy with the rain as they are experiencing drought.
Our chocolate is treated so as not to make is melt in our hot weather which is said to detract from the taste.
Many of the birds making that noise are horrible Indian miners , an introduced species.
We have too many kangaroos in Australia, Their numbers have increased hugely since European settlement. There were no farms with grassy, green pastures to feed on before that. Plus the indigenous peoples killed them for food and pelts.
Thanks for coming back to watch again Barnowl, the factor 50s on!! Edd got caught in alot of rain at work today and it was the first proper downpour we have seen since being here but guess thats just the way it goes in Melbourne!! Also we both, even Trudy loved the kanga bangas.
@@TrudyandEddTravel Also forgot to mention that that horrible birdsong cacophony at sundown probably is starlings, another introduced species. The lorikeets (parrots) also make a noise during the day but their colorful plumage make up for it. I think the rain in Oz is different to that in the UK. It's heavier. I remember my mother commenting about the rain to the relatives in the UK. Glad you're wearing the sunscreen but when the weather gets hotter, don't forget a wide brimmed hat. The sporty type of hats with a peak at the front won't do as they don't shade the ears and neck. A lot of skin cancers are found on the tops of ears, especially on men. All children in primary schools must wear a hat as part of the uniform. No hat, no play(ing outside) is the rule. Some secondary schools continue this. I'm enjoying your videos. Your happy personalities fits in with the sunny, optimistic nature of Australia's persona.
🤗Aussie men,🇦🇺say they are 👍helping out the kids,💕by drinking beer.🍺 Because Vegemite is made from 🙏leftover brewers yeast.🤔You can use a teaspoon full 🫶stirred in gravy or stew.💋Use it like beef stock.🫶It’s a great addition for flavour.💋A little dab will do yah.💋💋💕💕💕💕🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶💋💋💋💋💋💋
Thanks for the tips Sue!!
Satsuma = Mandarin 🍊
Why do i feel like theres alot of different names for these!?
Congrats on the job. Just a wee bit early to jump in the sea yet. You will notice that a lot of children and some adults will be wearing rashies at the beach in Summer. Rashies offer up to a 50+ sun protection factor and mean you only have to put sunscreen on your legs and face. If you want to get a bit of Vitamin D and colour without covering up or slathering on 50+, go out for an early morning walk in Summer or pop down to the beach before 10 am or after 5 pm with a lower Factor sun screen. And, protect your head because the after effects of scalp burn resembles dandruff, eek.
This is some great advise!! We love a morning walk and i'm sure we will try factor some in soon with coffee!!
Hi, do you’re self a favour if ever you want to know something like what those beach huts are there for just stop and ask someone, anyone,they will be more than happy to help you and answer any questions you may have so don’t be scared we don’t bite.
We will do Ian!!
If you don't like British Marmite, then despite Vegemite being somewhat different, it's not different enough to make a huge difference. Usually, if you enjoy the deep savouriness (Umami) of British Marmite, then Vegemite isn't a big jump as they are very close to each other on the flavour wheel, although do have different textures.
If somehow you've never done British Marmite, then be very careful jumping straight into Vegemite. First thing you need to ask is, would you chug a strong Soy Sauce straight from the bottle?. If the answer to that is "HELL NO", then start off very, very lightly because you can always put more on if you want but you can never remove an overdose of it, no matter how much scraping you do lol
Thanks for the info, we will definitely have to try it soon! Trudy hasn't even tasted British Marmite so will make sure she doesnt over do it, haha. 😂
I’m Aussie and I could never eat Kangaroo 🦘
@@bethtaig Trudy did feel a little bad about it 🙈..
Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen and slap on a hat, Slip, Slop, Slap!
We are Slipping and slopping so far!!
I’ve never understood the negativity of eating kangaroo. This great lands indigenous communities have been eating them for thousands of years. And the other argument about them being on the coat of arms and we eat them? Again, no coat of arms when it was just a land inhabited by the indigenous.
Oo we hadn't heard about the negativity behind it, thanks for the info!
