I have lived in Australia since 1972 and the only thing that has bitten me is a mosquito! I would be terrified to live in the US as I hear you have grizzly bears over there which can rip you apart. You also have rattle snakes which must terrify you when you hear that sound!🤣
I've lived in Australia my whole life and I've never been bit by anything venomous either. It's pretty rare that anything will bite you, especially snakes. They hear you coming and they keep away from you. Spiders are worse than snakes since you can't see and hear them as well. But luckily we have anti venom so even if you're bitten, it's rare to die from it. Ants are the real enemy here
I tend to agree. Not that there are not very dangerous creatures in Australia, but most tourists go on conducted tours, especially outback tours, so they are fine because they are given specific instructions. I haven't come across a funnel web spider ever because I live in Adelaide which, for those o/s, is NOT on the east coast where they are prevalent. However we do have the redback spider which looks insignificant as it is small. Be wary of them. I don't put on boots or gloves without checking and even getting on a bike, I would check the bottom of a seat and around the handle. Most bikes are kept in garages and that is one of the main places you come across those small spiders. I don't even walk out to my back verandah without putting on proper shoes as the area is dusty and dirty and doesn't get used by me, so I am aware spiders will for sure be in that area. I have never been bitten in my nearly 64 years living here by either a snake or spider or any other rodent. Just food for thought - just take precautions and you are fine.
Surely you've been bitten by a bullant?
@@sprig5173 only as a kid. I don't go poking them these days 😁😁
They also have guns everywhere which is horrifying
For everything he learned in Australia, he didn’t manage to stop calling a Koala, a bear,
why do Americans do that? As you would know the Koala is not even remotely
related to a bear.
It's basically a climbing wombat, so he could call it a Koala Wombat. Or maybe a Koabat.. Wombala?
The options are endless.
@@Alex.The.Lionnnnn a Koambat, the new ultimate character in Mortal Kombat.
@@rjswas Fuck....yes!
A koala's closest releative is a wombat!
80% of Australians have never seen a snake or deadly spider in the wild. We live on a rural property & occasionally see snakes but if you leave them alone they just go about their business or more usually slither away from you as quick as they can. Most people who get bitten do so when trying to catch or kill snakes. You can walk through the Australian bush very safely as we do not have any large carnivores such as bears or large cats. Australians usually have a giggle when we hear people saying how dangerous our wildlife is. In Australia you are also far safer from other humans as our strict firearms legislation means there are very few gun crimes & most shootings are criminals shooting other criminals with illegal firearms.
I’m 70 & Aussie. I’ve never seen a snake, a deadly spider or a gun in my life. Yes I’ve been on holidays camping and been to a few States. But I was bitten by a white tail spider - not deadly but the pain was absolutely shocking. Finger swelled up, then all fingers did. Went Docs of course, pain went, all good.
Oh, like everyone, had a few harmless Harry the Huntsman spiders hanging around lol.
Another thing that makes our shopping centres better than American malls is that you don't have to carry everything. Just look around the car park (parking lot), find a trolley (shopping cart), and put everything in it. You can take a trolley practically anywhere in an Aussie shopping centre.
Hey guys . Australia has a massive shortage of labour in the bush mostly fruit picking but other jobs to .smart backpacker's and tourist do this to see a lot of Australia work there way around country
As an Aussie, I've done this in other countries. Fabulous way too meet people from everywhere.
You don’t watch cricket the same way as most sports, you arnt sitting watching every single play, you’re drinking, eating, hanging with friends and fam with the telly on nearby to glance over at the score…
Or everyone starts watching when there’s exciting play happening…
It’s the centre of the household for a day or two
And of course there’s hardcore fans that DO watch every play and follow it religiously…
But I was describing the casual fan experience
I was in a Sydney pub after work one afternoon and we were watching the ashes. a couple of yabj sailors came in, watched for a while then asked us a bout the rules, which we did. Next afternoon, was a repeat, but the yanks came in and asked what was the final score of last nights game and were amazed when we sai it was the second innings o fthe same game!
I can tell you a very funny story. I had my monthlies when I visited Cleland Reserve in the Adelaide Hills when I was young (in my 20's) and a kangaroo came from behind and hugged me tight. I was screaming. There were some Japanese visitors who got out their cameras and were clicking away and were all animated and thought it was funny. Turned out, after one of the staff came over and shoo'd the kangaroo off me, that I was to blame without even knowing it. They have very good sense of smell. The wildlife officer asked me if I had my periods? I said yes and then he explained that they can smell blood. So, if you don't want to be freaked out by a strong kangaroo bear hugging you, stay away from wildlife parks if you have your monthlies. They are fine the rest of the time.
I could see you both doing a video of " An American Moving to AUSTRALIA " , they come and never leave>
I live with plovers, they can be calm and they can be territorial, particularly if they are nesting. At present, we have 5 of them that have adopted us. Which means we are family, and we leave each other alone. Each year the ones here get better and less agressive, and get calmer as do people. They learn people and adapt. people learn them and adapt. When we first came here, they held us hostage in our home for majority of their mating and nesting and when the babies were born. Now we don't worry about each other. Its like that with the magpies too.
Honey are you mowing the lawn? Yeah babe, straight after the cricket finishes. Little did she realise that it's a International test match and goes for 5 days...
There used to be a bit of controversy in Australia about teaching the big salties to leap out of the water after a piece of chicken on a string attached to a pole as a show for tourists. The main argument being that the crocodiles might learn to associate food with people in smaller boats like tinnies and thus crocodiles might regularly leap into the small tinnies the locals might use for fishing or such, and then attack those that were in the boat. The agility of some of these crocodiles is incredible. Some years ago there was a journalist from a West Australian newspaper that published an article that had a series of photos, either as frames from a video or from a series of photos taken with a motorised drive. This was before digital cameras was a thing. This series of photos showed a crocodile leaping almost completely out of the water, only a bit of its tail still in the water, and catching an unfortunate seagull flying over in midair probably ten feet or more above the water. So against a hungry crocodile nowhere is safe, not land, sea or air. They can take down anything from flying birds to horses or water buffalo, and people are also on the menu if they do stupid things in stupid places.
Tropical - monsoon season!
The birds that swooped them were previously known as a, Masked Plover, but their official name now is a, Masked Lapwing. The spurs protrude from under the upper wing, (shoulder)
Hi Guys. There are quite a few of these types of videos. The people in them are nice guys, so please don't think I'm criticising them. But they are from a certain Church that sends their young guys out on Missions for two years. It's really part of their OE (Overseas Experience)
Most young Aussie, Kiwi and South Africans also go on their OE's for a couple of years to Europe or North America. It's a Rite of Passage! It's our way of experiencing the world before returning home to settle down, Career/relationships etc.
But remember these young LDS members have generally led a sheltered life and so EVERYTHING is a wonder to them and often they have no idea what is "normal" living, much less wild Aussie lifestyles! LOL.
I had a couple of these fellas offer to help me years ago. I said sure. I was unloading concrete blocks out of the back of my ute to under my Brother's house. I had them sweating and taught them how to carry more blocks. They thanked me at the end that I let them help. They were sweaty and dirty. I said no problems any time. Hard labour is always hard to give away. They did ask me how I am spiritually and I said I am fine.
Koalas are not bears. Seriously!
The jumping croc tours are so good. Went on one when I was in Year 4 while caravanning around Australia.
I love Plovers, I have a nesting pair in my backyard and have had them now for near on 7 years. Yes, they are super protective of their young and they can do as he said but you have to get quite close to their young to provoke that kind of action. The really cool thing is, that if the swooping doesn't deter, then as a last resort, they will lay on the ground and flap around to pretend they have a broken wing and are unable to fly so as to present themselves as an easy target for the predator and draw the attention away from the babies.
Much like Magpies, they are a very misunderstood bird and plenty of people just fear them out of ignorance. Just like Magpies, they are so easy to live with once you understand them :)
I love the southern american drawl. I hear most other american accents via tv so I am used to those.
We Aussies do not think American accents are cool.
you got that right.
Bloody hell, Australia sounds like a real dangerous place, you wouldn't catch me going there. Oh wait, I am an Aussie, I guess I should be more careful, I am glad this guy warned me how dangerous it is.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
guys im from darwin and i can honestly say that in the wet season its fricken hot and wet lol
Yeah, Plovers are really protective during nesting season. They nest on the ground and will patrol the area immediately around their nest, probably out to a couple hundred metres. They make this high pitched screeching sound and continuously "dive bomb" you. The difference between them and Magpies (apart from the obvious physical appearance) is that, you can see the Plovers coming at you. They attack from a low position just a few feet off the ground, while the (bastard) Magpies swoop you from on high and you never see them coming.
I am surrounded by us, its actually pretty deep, very local, one town might have 2 or 3 groups
When you visit Sydney try Venchi, my fav chocolate gelato 😋 yum and yes we Aussie go for quality vs quantity 😅
Nice video keep up the good work :)
When I played golf there were a pair of plovers that used to nest on one of the holes that used to attack everyone as they went past. It was a dangerous time.
Sounds like he had a good time in Australia.
🦘
The spikes on plovers are also poisonous, not deadly but will make you very saw
I am an AUZZIE...YOUR WELCOME DARLINGS. ......
~ Or an *OZZIE!*
Shrimp are prawns in Oz!
If you want to see kangaroos go to a golf course.
Yep. They're also very chill there as they're so used to humans
I swear if I hear "Shrimp on the barbie" again I'mma lose it, its prawns not shrimps
Hey from Tasmania Australia ❤
G-day mates you guys are awesome 💯😎 heart each for you guys ❤❤
We have deer as well as kangaroos
How the fuck is cricket slower than baseball?!?!?
Could that dude look any more American? 😂
Yes, sir, yes! 🫡🫡🫡
First up teaching crocs to jump for food is shit stupid and l live in a place where there are plenty of swamp doggies plovers the kids give em hell at my school and yep it's raining ! in FNQ crocs are agressive don't teach to jump in boats other than that seems like a decent bloke lots of skippy's in yards around here just get out of the city so you can see the cool stuff
A good video. Guess what - we've never had a shrimp on a barbie either, but we do have prawns. That myth started wheh Paul Hogan (Crocodile Dundee) did a tourism ad aimed at Americans in 1990. A 5 day Test Cricket match between two countries is NOT boring. The first NFL game I went to in LA lasted 2.5 hours with FIFTEEN minutes when the ball was in play - that's boring!
one thing we dont worry about is getting shot in the street or at school. EDIT: we use cane sugar for sweeteners here, as we have a huge sugar cane industry, murica, mostly uses corn syrup for sweeteners in coke etc etc...the taste of a coke in usa vs aus is different.
he sounds like the typical mormon missionary that comes to australia and nz
One more time for the non Australians koalas arent bears. Theyre marsupials. We dont throw shrimp on the barbie. We have prawns. They look and taste similar but 2 different things. And kangaroos ARE everywhere. Except in inner cities. He was obviously up in the Northern Territory so there are a lot of dangerous animals up there. But its not like that everywhere.
Then how come I keep running into them?
@@ricklorimer9984 Ive no idea. Watch where youre going maybe
With the dangerous insects as Nd as nimals, get some Aussie mates , ask them. Nothing better than local knowledge . I m Aussie I use the same strategy here ,as I do when i trav E l. works in south East Asia too. Local knowledge. Is key
Oh the Mormons.
Go rural and you’ll see Roos.
20/20 cricket is alright. Each team 20 overs each… over in a night.
They don't stay away from you.........they are found in cities tooo you know.......
Australians dont call shrimp, shrimp there prawns dont make that mistake in Oz, also wildlife in Oz will only get ya if you go looking for it, your pretty safe so come on down check us out you'll have a ball
Plovers are in my yard atm. And they are protected Hate them
Plovers are the most annoying fkn birds ever lol they always nest in the worst spots. Work carpark for example.
Plovers are cool, just stay away from their damn nests!
The most intelligent review from a visitor I've seen..come back soon (njohn)
*sighs with irritation" Why are you surprised to not get bitten by a snake. You have poisonous snakes in America too you know - rattle snakes. You will not see the critters in Aussie cities anymore than you would see them in down town New York.
Refills - makes you fat!
Alice Springs weather is the greatest, hot days cold nights if there is no cloud cover, clouds are not that common, well not full cloud cover anyway.
My partner and I have this massive opportunity to move to the US it’s not too good to be true it’s just good very very good. We will have to move from Brisbane to Dallas. I’m nervous 😬 but I have done so much research and we will be visiting in March to look around and learn more. We were just in the US on holiday and it was fine I only saw normal big city problems.
Make sure you don't visit in our summer guaranteed you won't like it. It's about as humid as it can get on the east coast at the moment 80% plus humidity and 30 degrees celcius and not much difference overnight except higher humidity
Dear Americans; please do not go to American chain restaurants when you are in Australia. DO NOT GO TO SUBWAY.

Poison is man made
Venom is nature.
So any animal is venomous not poisonous.
Interesting… I didn’t know that. Does that mean that Stonefish are venomous and not poisonous? Are Komodo Dragons venomous as well? What about the poisonous frogs they use on the spear heads?? Are they venomous and not poisonous?? …Serious question, mate… 👍🏼
Just come over for a Squizz, guys… I’m sure you wouldn’t have to pay for accomodation. Plenty of Aussies would give you a room and would love to show you around!! 👍🏼
It has nothing to do with manmade vs natural. Poisons get into the body by inhalation, swallowing or skin absorption. Venoms are injected. For example, people have died from eating fugu (blowfish) in Japan as it contains a natural poison, not a venom.
No poison is injested venom is injected plenty of animals that are poisonous
I have always been taught that if the animal bites/injects you and you are effected/die then its venomous, if you eat the animal and get sick/die then its poisonous.......
this man has insulted Australia if he dosnt like our country don't come back
I hate these videos about Australia, making it look so good that yanks want to move here, big mistake for yanks to come here. No guns and if you thinking of getting one here, you're in for police Probing that will make you cry. FYI Australian's are mostly against guns
PS If you come over here don't be too pissed when one of us calls you a black fella. There is no malice in it
If you arnt going into the bush or off road… you don’t need to worry about the venomous stuff.
Highly unlikely you’ll encounter one, and if you do there’s no advice beyond what you already know… try not to touch it
However rock pools on the beach, have a lot of venomous things you wouldn’t know to look for, and some beaches have jelly fish.
So if you arnt going into the bush, or a rock pool, or swimming on a beach with a swarm of jellyfish. (All easily avoidable)
You don’t need to worry about the venomous things…
As for the things that will eat you… again, stay out of certain water ways known to have crocs or sharks and you’re good!
Literally all the dangerous wildlife in Australia is easily avoided as a tourist
