These are fantastic , I laughed out loud ! Top job mate
The hot sand run. We've all done it, misjudged distance, thought "she'll be right", ended up hopping from random grass patch to shaded spot. Always ending up looking like a fool, jumping around like ballerinas, feet on fire. Never learn. Do it again the next trip to the beach. Was lovely to meet you and Sam on the weekend Ross!
childhood memories
Hot sand vs bindi patch ? hmm tough call
@@drubee7793 Hot sand, every time! Bindis are fully evil little f*ckers! At least with hot sand you know it will stop. Bindis can pop up anywhere at anytime and you HAVE to tempt fate to escape them. If you can't tell, I hate bindis :)
As a born Aussie, to a newish Aussie, you did ' a bloody good job ' with this video. 👍
Yep. Can confirm these are pretty bang on (and apply to the new migrant experience in a lot of places). Don't know about this bring a plate stuff though. Think that might be only some circles. A bottle of plonk of course is essential.
When I got to Australia and then moved to a suburb, my neighbour invited me to her house for a barbie, and she said bring a plate. I said okay. Me taking it literally, and been four of us, I took four empty plates🤣🤣we had a laugh and then she explain to me the habit.
Talking about nicknames, a fella at work is Jeff but his nickname is Barry. But we eventually all became Barry
A friend of mine is called "Holler".....last name Marshall 😂
Where I work we give nicknames to just about everybody. One new fellow was named Paul Hiller. He'd write P. Hiller, so "Philler" became his handle.
Myself and 4 friends are all Bruce…
It’s a thing.
The best aid to male mental health is an Australian idea - The Men' Shed. There are now more Men's Sheds than MacDonald's in Australia. New Zealand, the UK, USA and Canada are catching on to the benefits as well. There's a big one you should visit at Coolum but the biggest with almost 400 members is at Mt Gravatt.
You're so Aussie Johno. It takes a new aussie to spot all these things we take for granted.
Cheers Glenn
Such a positive spin on things. Thanks for sharing
Really enjoying the content. Makes me appreciate my country even more seeing it through your eye's. Way to assimilate. You and the fam are true blue 😂👍
Great video, as a dad I really agreed with the idea of raising your kids to be grateful. It has so many good effects.
Yeah, I totally agree. It's really important to teach our kids to be grateful and to appreciate the things they have.
I've moved from The Northern Territory back to my home state South Australia to retire after 50 years in the Tropics - yes SA is hotter than the NT but it's a DRY heat and even water-based air-conditioning systems work well; whereas in the NT only expensive refrigerated AC works well - during Darwin's wet season (only two seasons, The Wet & The Dry) I would towel myself dry after a cold shower, then be dripping wet again from perspiration. I'd forgotten how incredibly quickly clothes dry on the line in SA.
Anyway welcome to Orstrylia, mate! If you want to laugh at something sadistically, go to the NT in rare 30°C temperatures to seethe pathetic frozen corpses of pedestrians lying in the streets.
I you want to get hit on the head with a nulla nulla in the NT, go round saying "it's not the heat, it's the humidity".
Great Video Mate!
On the sun… having spent most of this year travelling abroad, I flew home to Melbourne and just sat down in a park and was struck by the clarity of light here.
There is a crispness to the light, that you don’t get in Asia and Europe. Hard to explain but it’s there (cleaner air, maybe, but definitely a more sharper vibrant light).
Welcome to all our new Australians!!
Scientists will be able to explain the reason for the colour
I think this is a superbly positive, admirable and inspiring video. I am bloody glad and proud you have joined us here.
Thank you so much!
Solid gold champ, how you keep coming up with it is now becoming impressive. Loved the plover inserts.
Finding your kindred spirits ppl is great. Also you can reinvent yourself and not be the person that ppl label you when you leave your old life behind. It’s great.
I've seen the comments but for me, I grew up in your general area, so it all rings true for me - yes it's hot lol. Love your observation about the special nicknames! Sooo true, lol. I'm in my 50s now and there are people I went to high school with who are solely known by their special nickname. Love your input Ross.
The recurrent and sometimes subliminal theme that I pick up from your videos Ross is the importance of having the right, and generally positive, attitude. I really hadn't ever thought about it but having lived in several places around the world as a broad generalisation, I think Australians do it pretty well.
Attitude is everything
By and large, we've got a lot to live for
Thanks for such fine work.
Ps: don’t tell Melbournites that there is coffee outside Melbourne 😅😅😅😅😅
What a great wrap up of life in Australia - Brisbane is a great place to live 😍
It’s refreshing to see things through your eyes. Thank you
Thanks Noelene
Thanks for a great laugh, mate! As an Aussie with a long-time association with the UK (family, friends & living there for over 12 years as a younger man), your perspective resonates with me...
Glad you enjoyed it
I think all Aussies know how cold the floor of the freezer aisle is.
😆
Cant help it Ross, watched the plover short sooooooo many times lol
During maggie nesting season, always use a _brelly_ outdoors...unless you feed them, I do and I've never been swooped.
*Tom's wife Pam*
Great tip!
You are not always expected to bring a plate, it's best to check. Depends on the party.
When would you not?
@@ThatJohnstonLifehey mate, in my social group the host always provided finger food, side dishes etc. and you as the guest were just expected to bring your own meat and beer, never was it expected to bring a plate, not saying that’s the norm though
So many good points about Australia and the laid back lifestyle. Great video❤️
The C word. champ 😂
Lol
There are only two seasons in South East Queensland. Summer and not-summer. Been here more than 50 years and haven't come across another season yet.
As a proper bogan, this was hilarious 😂. Your getting the aussie vibe feeling going now mate, another 20 years, and you can call yourself a local🤣great work fella, keep it up👍👌🇦🇺
Legend!
Love your enthusiasm for Australia, your approach to living your best life is a positive contribution to our mixed culture.
Thanks Robert
You just summed up all my wonderful life in Australia for 57 years thank you.
Awesome video, mate. I need to practice more of that gratitude. You have reminded me of all the things I'm taking for granted here in good ole Aus.
Great to hear!
Moved here 4yrs ago and I love it here❤❤❤
Laid-back culture✔️
Equality✔️
Very informality✔️
Wages✔️
Lots amazing benefits✔️
Cleanliness✔️
You, sir, are welcome in this land. What a great attitude.
Thanks Kate
You have worked us out! very good. Yes judging people, I would hope most Aussies, would think to be un-Australian! Welcome everyone with open arms, you will learn so much and they will probably end up being some of your better friends and you will find they will probably appreciate your friendliness, so much, they too will be givers and definitely worth knowing
I'm down south and we are warm now. Going to be 29c tomorrow for the AFL grand final and the Brisbane Lions are playing...go Brisbane. Oh and we have a public holiday on grand final eve here in Victoria.
Yes coffee is the best. Bring a plate...oh yes...first time I did that I brought a plate...literally, my Aussie friends remind me of that often.😂 nicknames is a true show of Aussie love. I was bear at work as my name is Clare. I'm now a retired nurse.
I love Australia and it is a wonderful country. Brilliant video.
Bear, nice one
Clare Bear!
Great video, best advice ever Ross! or should that be Rossi?
Doing it well Ross - u are def helping people - so keep on - well done.
Thanks Sam
You are definitely are an Aussie now mate keep up the good work ❤
Great thoughts. Many thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was excellent.👏👏
Thank you kindly!
Love your videos! You enlighten even some us born here.
Wow, thank you!
You're so Aussie now but with an English accent. 😉
It was really nice to watch! I'm glad I got to experience it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I could be wrong, but I think the barefoot thing happens mostly in Queensland. I know a guy who says he hardly ever wore shoes to primary school in Brisbane
Any from other states agree with this?
100% I grew up in QLD and I used to put my shoes in by school bag once I went around the corner 😀
Shoe wearing is more common now. My husband never wore shoes to primary school but he is in his 70s now. He learned to play football in bare feet. His toes are wiggly from being broken.
very good video😀
I spent a month on the Gold Coast, staying with an old friend and her family. We spent a few days in Sydney. I could easily live in Australia, and it was so interesting and different. Birds, animals, trees, are different from anything I’d seen. Food and yes, coffee-and pastries-were so delicious. No brand names I recognized. Different housing styles. I’d move there if I could. There are some things that you can’t get there; I was asked to bring Neosporin, chili powder, and some cooking spices. It was expensive, but using an American credit card, I benefited greatly from the exchange rate.
Sounds like you had a great experience
I have chilli powdere in my cupboard and always have had. 😳
Neosporin too 🙄
@@evaadams8298Sorry to seam ignorant,but what is Neosporin?I live in the UK and have never heard of it.
Thank you for your great vid. I had a few laughs 😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it
I only get fruit and vegetables from markets. F woolwoworths and Coles.
in markets veggies taste reasonable compared to the Italian grown veggie i was used to, but the coles and wollies one are crap and expensive as well
@beau_de_jour totally agree
Sounds like you are fitting right in, welcome.
Thanks
Excellent well delivered script you’ve got here.
Thank you kindly!
One habit you'll pick up around this time of year in SE Qld. is ducking. Yep, it's magpie swooping season when the cable ties on bike helmets seems sensible and people are more worried about those birds than snakes when looking for a place to sit at the park.
Never been that worried about snakes
Well, you can already see my nickname Tbone 👍.
I judging you with a smile. Your arm waving has been my exercise for the week. 🤣
Regarding waking up early; remember that Brisbane is as far south of the equator as Egypt is north of the equator. So it's not comparable to UK or Europe.
Brisbane is closer to the equator than Cairo.
@@billrodiger7697 Only marginally.
One of the best explanations of the Aussie "she'll be right' culture iv'e heard.
Cheers Raymond
Yes, us Melbournians think we know what cold is, but the average high in July is 13.5 C, and we get plenty of Winter days over 15. The coldest Melbourne day last July was 12.5.
Plenty U sure about that?
@@thrusta100 I suppose it depends on the definition of "plenty". This Winter, Melbourne had 18 days over 15 degrees in June, 14 in July, and 18 in August. I don't think I can post a link without bots blocking it, but you'll find it easily by Googling "Melbourne (Olympic Park), Victoria July 2023 Daily Weather Observations". Scroll down for the other months
We did a house sit just outside of Ballarat a few years back. It was July, and frost and drizzle was a daily constant. Except for one day when it snowed. I'd look at the weather on the news and see how much "warmer" Melbourne was-it was like Melbourne's minimum was Ballarat's maximum temps. Even as a Queensland resident I think Melbourne people tend to overdress for the cold weather, or maybe they just have more cold weather clothing to wear. I'm in the Scenic Rim/Gold Coast hinterland, where we had constant morning temps of 0 to 5 degrees in June/July but it still got to about 20 degrees during the day.
DO YOUR THING, YOU. ENJOY BEING YOU.
Mate living in the same area .. these pluvers that have taken camp in my front yard is too much.. I’m punching on just to get to my car 😂😂
I've had a pair of plovers nesting outside my bedroom window for the last 15 or so years and one day I will let the cats out.... by mistake of course!
Maybe try casually dropping some raw chicken or beef pieces so they don’t associate you with danger but potluck.
I shop at my local IGA which is an independent grocer.
Keep going with the bare feet. Theyll toughen up soon enough and then you wont notice
I'm in suburban Canberra and there local alternatives to Coles, Woolies and Aldi but I generally need to go out of my way to shop at those places.
They don't always make it easy
At 1:00 my local Redcliffe jetty with the walewatching boat anchored.
Lovely spot
Brilliant
Thanks Finlay
Following your comments, you are now officially Australian! Welcome.
Thanks bud. Appreciate it
Summer in the south can be scorching.
I’m not looking forward to it 😢
El Nino apparently this year
Chips and dip = boring; only if you are not doing it right.
Cob loaf with the top cut off and the inside hollowed out. Put the insides into the oven for a bit to make croutons.
Combine cream cheese, Greek yogurt and French Onion soup mix to out inside the cob.
Job done on a tasty dish that people can snack on while the main is cooking. Cheap, easy and you don't have to chase up your plate at the end of the party.
Cob loaf is the one
You’re a true blue Aussie mate!
Cheers Alana
Mental health support from various government (state) agencies that provide direct support, I know, SAHealth helped me greatly! :)
Glad to hear Steven
There are plenty independents where I live south of Brisbane that are CHEAPER and good value and quality, still have ONE farm left less than 5KM away and I'm less than 30kms from the CBD.
Compared to Middle East, Turkey, the sun sets earlier in Australia. 7 pm is already dinner finished, while the dinner starts after 8 pm in the former countries. Aussies are health freaks, too. Jogging, exercising at a gym, swimming and all the rest are their daily routine. Healthy food conscience is another trait, while very few Aussies are good cooks. They like buying takeaways. What I love most about living in Australia is people mind their own business so you can enjoy solitude. "Who cares" is acceptable.
Sometimes 7pm is bed time!
What do you mean v”Very few Aussies are good cooks”? Have you met all of Australia? I have know heaps of Aussies who are brilliant cooks.
Some my older relatives should have been born British. They tend to judge people, hold grudges about stupid things, love the Royal Family (not sure why) and theres a reason I don’t see them very often.
😆
A beauty of North Queensland is the total absence of the rushed city life. Simply because it's too f******g hot to do anything in a hurry. Kick back, have a nice cold XXXX and enjoy the curlews, cockys and wallabies going about their day. Ah Townsville, love it. :D
This one, too hyped up but love your other content.
EXCELLENT...I have habbits! ;-)
Rock on!

Oh Yeah - it’s time for u guys to go to another touro spot to video & upload!
Hello from Alex Hills Brisbane
champ - bloody oath!

Onya Guvnor !
Nice video, glad you are settling in well but if there’s one thing that I wish people would stop doing it’s perpetuating the myth that Australians say ‘G’day mate’ on the regular. I don’t, nobody in my family does and nobody I generally associate with does either. But, maybe we’re a bit special in Canberra. If you do say ‘G’mate’ you immediately identify yourself as a tourist or new Australian. So I tell my ESL class - just say ‘Hi’, ‘Hello’, How’s things?’ or ‘Hey, how’re you going?’
It's probably a Canberra thing then
"A bit special" and "Canberra" sums it up. The rest of us talk about "the Canberra Bubble" LOL
POME = Prisoner of Mother England. If you were fresh off the boat (convict) back in the day you were called a POMiE by those already here in OZ. FYI
Thanks mate
Didn't know that.
Oi well done mate that's fucken gold welcome to Australia 🙏....lol farkin hilarious 😂.... and remember Go the Broncs 🐴😊
Poor Broncos
fly on the 1 nov 23 to brisbane. see you on the other side brother🇦🇺🧡.
Safe journey
Oh you're so right. The biggest diss over here IS calling someone "champ" 😂
Totally
Rosso!
My Aussie coworkers nickname for me was “Saggier” total inappropriate when people have dirty minds. Reference “ Shag on a Rock” ! NSW in Oz
My mate's nickname is Tripod 🤷🏼♂️
Lol
Hee hee! 😄 I've never heard of Goon of Fortune
You should try it
My brother was skinny in high school, his nickname was Chicken Legs!
Nice
OMG my nickname was “Legs Eleven” 😂🤦♀️ I was mortified. Now my friends with “larger” legs are envious of my chicken legs 😂
not wrong about the plovers
😆

Don't feel "entitled" to all that stuff you see around you... That sounds right. You don't get to own a house, pretty soon you won't get to rent a house. Those are for wealthy Australians who haven't arrived yet.
When you say "plover", do you mean "magpie"?
magpies are the sound you hear in the morning, not plovers.
I hear plovers mate
Love your vids. FYI I think you will find it's actually "war-da"
My daughter corrects me
@@ThatJohnstonLife My kids help me with Scottish 🙂
Nope can't say I picked up any of it...
Always time
Perhaps it would have been more accurate to say “I gained these habits when I moved to Australia. I also moved from to Australia (from the USA) during the pandemic (January 2021). Nothing has changed with my sleeping habits once the jet lag passed. I’ve never liked coffee so that didn’t change for me either. I don’t use the word mate much yet. I have always offered to bring a dish to someone’s house so that never changed. I’ve been grateful for years. Where are these water stations? I live in Templestowe (Melbourne) and haven’t seen any water stations yet. I have always done wild things like swimming with sharks, fire walking, and bungee jumping. I can’t always shop at at the markets (nor could I where I moved from in California where everything was fresh. My social life and tribe changed radically but how could it not when you move?
You're a wonderful person
and bring Tim tams
Can't bring them if you eat them too quickly
Hey geeza would you like a drink of wort-a
The medium roast in Aldi is great and the dark one not much different . What's wrong with you? And in Brissie too, that's a worry
What's wrong with you?
Sorry Fraser… That is not coffee it’s fowl!
I meant foul!
