In my case it was a massive bushy tail possum that smelled something it wanted in the tent. Claws running down the outside of the tent, shredding it to pieces. Moral of story, keep any food secured outside of tent.
The guy poking the huntsman spider... literally me every time I see a huntsman come into our house. It runs away from my fingers at vmax as soon as I touch them on a leg... if it had a voice I'm sure you would hear it screaming in terror!😅
its no different to a f1 car that cant keep up with the fastest cars using pit stops more effectively or soft tyres at the most crucial part of a race. his strategy was to stay as close as he could and capitilize on soemthing happening , he would have been happy with bronze ... NO SUCH THING AS LUCK LUCK IS WHEN PREPERATION MEETS OPPORTUNITY
Plus he had to pretty amazing to get there, then extremely amazing to stay on his feet when no one else did….then the poor guy has copped it for years saying he only won because everyone else fell. I think he’s awesome.
@@VrajaVilasini Absolutely, he survived lack of support and training opportunities and then horrendous injuries, he got to the final alone and he did it his way - so proud! 👍
Just FYI, the Road Subject to Melting sign is a Flooding warning sign. The asphalt does get that soft at times though in hot weather and really screws up your tyres.
Wearing my trakkies right now. Those two snakes? they weren't fighting. 😉 Sea foam might hide sea snakes. Highly venomous but very timid and human deaths are extremely rare. "Sheilas" = SHEE -LAHS. No Haka! No! Bad Ryan! You'll get the Kiwis riled up! The narrator sounds like some sort of weird Aussie/Pommy/AI hybrid.
Ryan, most Aussies are not descended from convicts. The vast majority are migrants and children of migrants, from UK, Europe and Asia! I’m a great granddaughter of an English woman and a Chinese man + an Irish couple from Dublin. None of them were convicts. My brother married a Croatian girl, and many of my friends are Italians and Asians.
Mate we are a land of immigrants. Just like US. US had just as many convicts sent to it during its early days. Convict descendants are about as rare as aboriginal descendants in Australia these days, the rest are free immigrants from every country in the globe
1/5 Australians are descended from a convict. Also, America was discovered over 500 years ago. The indentured servants sent there (to Maryland mainly) were a drop in the ocean of the America's existing population at the time. There is no evidence that they got significant amounts of these indentured servants. There was one researcher who theorised that it could be up to 200 thousand but that goes against the mainstream view and as there was no records its viewed generally as a made up number. Whereas convicts were the initial population of modern Australia and the British kept records of every boat sent.
When you look back at the records, many of those convicts were sentenced for minor crimes. Stealing a loaf of bread was not good but the alternative was death by starvation...harsh for a 12 yr old.
@noone6037 Virginia landholders bought convicted criminals to work as indentured servants the same as Maryland did. They weren't kept as slaves like Australian convicts were. They were free to leave at the end of each work day as long as they came back before curfew and did their work. They weren't chained. They weren't kept in small cells. They weren't starved.
Camped out in the middle of the great Victorian desert hours away from even the slightest hint of civilisation during a cyclone in diamond headed goanna territory after being bogged in clay and lost our brakes... best couple of nights of my life!!
Ok mate!! Ryan come on you’re taking notes to check stuff out and you go straight past our Reef story! This is huge, they tie coral to a frame and they play music from active reefs which encourages growth. The sound makes the coral think that some of the 23-25% of the fish in the ocean that need a reef to live in is actually there so it grows, it’s amazing!!! Check it out man!
There are also brilliant vids of the number of islands and communities which are gradually disappearing beneath the rising waters in the Islands all around Oz - some of which I've known. (For those that say it isn't happening and don't understand why fighting climate change is just a way of life in Oz.!)
That's not a newly discovered spider, water striders are well known. They skimmed on the water's surface around the fishing lines on the Murrumbidgee River.
The bird dropping the snake on a family actually happened to my family.It was dropped onto the concrete by a kookaburra and it was a red bellied black snake.The birds drop them to kill the snakes.Unfortunately my sister in law was 8months pregnant and was so happy it missed her otherwise we might have been in for a early birth.
“The word daks began as a proprietary name (trademarked in the 1930s) for a brand of trousers. In Australia daks became used as a generic term for trousers from the 1960s.” We now spell it dacks.
@@turtle-frogsyeah nah, they didn’t. 230 plus Nations (a Yank would say tribe), none, did war dances. Islanders of Polynesian descent had similar. But that guy looked Aboriginal, but either way, nah, Haka, is 100% not Australian and Māoris even if more live in Australia now than NZ, jokes aside, would probably want to correct him on that..
@Cairns74 they use to on palm Island in the 50 and 60's before a footy match.Nrl. We use to go over in a boat from a little town called Lucinda. They all did it but stopped some time later can't remember when or why.
Aussies know quite a bit of American geography because of your songs, your movies and TV shows which teach us all the time. Australia has six states and two territories, while the US has fifty states including Hawaii out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and Alaska, which hangs off the coast of Canada. We know a lot of states and capitals because they’re often said together in scripts, eg, Atlanta, GA, Cincinnati, OH, Louisville, KY and Seattle, WA, just to name a few.
I'm having a real laugh over this. We call them tracksuits and like everything we shorten them an often add a y. Dacks used to be a slang word for pants.
Yes, that is the southern edge of South Australia. The Bunda Cliffs are nearly 400 feet high in places and 40 miles long, they are at the edge of the Nullarbor Plain where it meets the sea. I converted it to imperial measurements for you. There are a couple of lookouts that are great places for whale watching. If you ever get the chance to drive across the Nullarbor they are well worth stopping to look at. I couldn’t go anywhere near the edge but my husband did. Luckily we were in a spot where the curve meant I could get a good view of them from a bit further back.
Apparently Pluto is 2370km wide while Australia is 4000km wide 😳🤯. That’s going by google. I’m an Aussie and that blew my mind, it also works out to be approx half the width of America
I have been camping in Australia and had big huntsman spider crawling across my sleeping bag. Also when living in Roxby Downs in the desert I would occasionally get centipedes or lizards crawl across my bed. You get used to it.
The sign about the road meltingf was fake. Roads used to melt in the heat in the tropics, but they are generally made of better stuff now. I remember riding around Townsvill as a kid and th bike tyres woud be geting stuck in the asphalt. And yes, my thongs/flip flops would be stuck like in the photo.
It used to happen where I grew up in Sydney. Nothing worse than walking out of your stuck-to-the-road thongs and stepping bare-footed into melted tar. Then it was a bastard to get the set tar off your feet and toes later.
16:30 It's pronounced "Sheela's" you know like the woman's name Sheila. A "Sheila" is aussie slang for a female person. Also trackie dacks makes perfect sense to us. Dacks is aussie for pants/trousers, and trackie as in tracksuit. So tracksuit pants, becomes trackie dacks.
We now have a saying, Last Man Standing good on you Steve. Ryan I cant believe you wrote down 1/2 of these to check to see if true, Do you want to buy a bridge m8??
Your wrong on the assumption that all us Aussies were descendants of convicts, my great great grandfather came to Australia from Somerset in England and landed at Hobart “town” in 1829 and was a free settler along with all my other great great grandparents on all sides, I’m not sure of the ratio in the old days but a greater number were free settlers, so just want to get that straight as there seems that a lot people from overseas tend to have this incorrect idea
And once word got out that there was gold in Victoria EVERYONE wanted to come to Australia. Many Americans at the tail end of the California gold rush set sail for Melbourne to make their fortune at Ballarat and Bendigo. Some never returned. "In the ten years from 1851, Melbourne more than quadrupled its population ― from 77,000 to 540,000, almost half the total population of Australia." Looks more like over 6 fold to me than 4 times.
Yes Boxwars is real and is held each year with a different theme. Two teams create everything made of cardboard to then destroy it all with a battle all for good fun. I'd love to go join or just watch it as it looks awesome.
We go to Box Wars every year! It's on Boxing Day in Melbourne. Yes the cardboard Battlements do break, the winner is the side with the most semi-intact armour! Different theme annually.
6:19 that indeed is Maccas, well at least the 'make it your own'/gourmet burgers were popular years ago. Not sure if it's still a thing though as I haven't seen it promoted and haven't tried ordering it. Australia normally gets experimental stuff first before most of the world.
I love this British dry humour and monotonous voice, everything is equal and hilarity must be contained - no emotional attachments! 😂 True, we do all this, we even send Australians to America to hone their Aussie accent! That's not a nofe'! 😁
South Australia did not have a convict colony and was founded by English free settlers. The other states also had plenty of free settlers in addition to the convicts.
Yes I noticed that, I’m a third Gen Aussie from free settlers who came over from England for the gold. They didn’t find any but my great grandfathers name, Henry Foster is on the Welcome Stranger Nugget monument as he was the Minister of Mines in Victorian parliament during federation. I often wonder if he touched the nugget 🤔lol
Ryan you could go to so many of our coastal regions and be blown away… they are beautiful … some are small hamlets, others are like the towns at the Sunshine Coast…go south and check out the Mid North Coast of NSW. Beautiful beaches , beautiful regions.
My dad went camping with a mate in the 80’s up in Lakeland national park. He spent one night in the tent, then he slept in the back of the car (he was 6 foot 6) for the next few nights. The reason, he woke up the first morning and found one of his thong missing and the other chewed by something with big teeth, yep a croc had come up to their tent during the night.
Hi Ryan, @06:14 that IS how you were table served in Macca's about 6 to 8 years ago. Not anymore, I miss that. The chips / fries were also brought out in a mini aluminium basket, that resembled the deep fryer basket. Then you also got melted bacon and cheese on the chips, or gravy and a few other options, they had really upped their game, but it has dropped and even more so since covid, but at least their burgers and range are still better than the U.S.A. and the presentation too. Having said that, I still prefer H.J. for quality and presentation or OPORTO, of which has a great range but not many outlets as it used to.
👋👋👉👉That's something that surprised me, It would appear some individuals believe Australia doesn't exist. We are all actors and the animals are fake, and let's not forget Kangaroos are robots.
Hey Ryan Recently Rugby League was played in Vegas with 40,000 Attendees! I Think It's time you react to your very own USA 9s World Rugby League team vs Australia 9s team for a good time/or Kiwis for better content. Hope you make a video on this and bring that American Competitive Spirit like your Team did. :) Information So you don't upset the Aussies and Kiwis: 1. Australia's 9s team were majority younger blokes between 19 and 24 with only two veteran players 2. This sport is called Rugby League not Rugby Union. 3. this is the 9s World Cup and is a shorten version of the Game with only 9 players and 18 minutes in comparison to its base of 13 players for the full 80 minutes. 4. just a fun fact for the video or yourself, the Rugby League Cup that plays every 4 years has had 16 Cups and Australia has won 12. If you enjoyed making this video you should watch USA 9s vs New Zealand All Blacks 9s. A warning though the Kiwi's never gave you guys a chance with its A Grade Roster. Yes it's as bad as this sounds, so it would definitely be a very good video as they treated the US team like children and played unorthodox in comparison to when they clash Australia.
The road melting sign photo is doctored, the sign actually says "road subject to flooding." The photo on the right was that person's thong melting because the asphalt was heated to apocalyptic temperatures by the summer Sun.
I disagree about Australia having dangerous animals, insects & birds. America has bears, cougars, panthers, snakes, alligators, killer wasps & bees, coyotes, wolves, vultures, plus too many more to name. 😅 but hey if you say Australia is dangerous I won't argue, keeps the riff-raff away.😂
‼️Misleading Winter Olympics stats! 🇦🇺 As of Beijing 2022, Australia has won 19 Winter Olympic medals - 6 gold, 7 silver and 6 bronze. Steven was the first from a country known for its sun, sand and surf. “Australia's maiden gold came in highly unlikely (but very worthy) circumstances. Steven Bradbury, a member of the bronze-winning 1994 relay team, won gold in short track speed skating on 17 February when all of his competitors in the 1,000 m final crashed out on the final turn while jostling for the medal positions.” The winner is the first to cross the finish line on his feet. Only Steven managed to do that! Summer Olympics: More than 400 medals overall.
9:58 reminds me of youth group, guys would get "dacked" which I guess Americans would call getting pantsed? Or something. And it was mid 00s so we all had baggy jeans so were basically halfway there lol
There is estimated to be 5 types of birds that drop the fire to get fleeing animals, however there is no footage of it. The stories have been told through stories from our Indigenous people and have been seen.
19:04 just thought i should inform you as an aussie with a New Zealander mother, the Haka in a New Zealand (Maori) think not an Australian (Aboriginal) thing.
Thanks Ryan. I always enjoy what other people think of our country. Most of it is true but some not. I'll let you work out what isn't. You'll be surprised.
Fexofenadine is useful for hayfever. Doesn't eliminate it entirely but I get a 50% improvement. Never once got hayfever in North America, Asia, Africa or Europe, but as soon as I returned to Australia it stuck with me for years.
We have a possum problem here next to the scrub,, they bounce on our roof, come into the house and go through your rubbish bins and their mating call/ritual scares the big jesus out of ya.
If you want to avoid being eaten by a Great White Shark in Australia just head to Darwin in the north. No Great Whites around there, the Saltwater Crocs eat them all.
I didn’t travel overseas till a few years ago. Mostly UK, France and Germany. It wasn’t till I was on the plane coming home that the difference in the animal hostility quotient struck me. Nothing had tried to kill, bite, poison or drop ;) on me for a month!
When Australia voted to became a country in 1901 they wrote the constitution to include an open invitation for New Zealand to join. They even have the Name for the currency "the ZAC" if it were to ever happen.
Sea foam can be toxic and best avoided. "You'll usually find a lot of sea snakes in the foam, they seem to be attracted to it." IT IS created by impurities in the ocean, such as salts, natural chemicals, dead plants, decomposed fish and excretions from seaweed. These impurities are churned together by powerful waves, which cause the water to form bubbles.” Wiki 24 Feb 2015
Australia is scary for the surprise deadly stuff, but the US has bears, wolves, cougars .... . In truth it is just that you will not accidently find one of those in your sleeping bag, but you might find something deadly in your bag in Australia.
"That's not Australian McDonalds." Not any more, but they did trial doing full on fancy burgers like that for a couple of years. I tried one and they were actually pretty good, but they were about as expensive as a burger from a restaurant or Grill'd and not QUITE as good.
I was raised here in Australia but was an exchange student in America. And compared to Americans, let me say, we have it easy in Australia. I mean, I had so much fun in America, but everyday life there is more dangerous and just a bit scary. We have a mostly sherltered life in Australia. Unless we live in one of the suburbs that the Spaniard tends to visit, which are rough ghetto areas. We do have rough ghetto areas in the cities, we just hide them from the tourists.
My dad dad went somewhere in Indiana and he had Australian accent and went to pee in a mental institution by accident walked in hiding there and just walked in and pissed himself and then got taken into mental Institute and that was an actual patient faking it Australian accent
When you go camping and wake up at 3am to hear koalas fighting just outside your tent, that's when you REALLY start to believe in drop bears.
A friend woke up in the night and skedaddled back to the car because of the crocodile that was watching.
@@lynneperry7454 rofl!! Yeah I'd be doing the same - the crocodile has a tent now!
In my case it was a massive bushy tail possum that smelled something it wanted in the tent. Claws running down the outside of the tent, shredding it to pieces. Moral of story, keep any food secured outside of tent.
Remember that happening as a kid. They were bouncing off the tent as they were fighting.
Funny thing is I'm the only one that was woken up by it 😆😆
I don’t think those snakes were fighting to the death, I think Mr and Mrs snake were up to something else.
That cassowary sitting under the beach umbrella is priceless.

Yes I noticed that, I’m a third Gen Aussie from free settlers who came over from England for the gold. They didn’t find any but my great grandfathers name, Henry Foster is on the Welcome Stranger Nugget monument as he was the Minister of Mines in Victorian parliament during federation. I often wonder if he touched the nugget 🤔lol
What? You call them trakky dacks?? Me: ummm.. I just literally put mine on 5 minutes ago!😅
I'll give him that though he's finally gotten the pronunciation of emu correct 😊❤
Ryan you could go to so many of our coastal regions and be blown away… they are beautiful … some are small hamlets, others are like the towns at the Sunshine Coast…go south and check out the Mid North Coast of NSW. Beautiful beaches , beautiful regions.
My dad went camping with a mate in the 80’s up in Lakeland national park. He spent one night in the tent, then he slept in the back of the car (he was 6 foot 6) for the next few nights. The reason, he woke up the first morning and found one of his thong missing and the other chewed by something with big teeth, yep a croc had come up to their tent during the night.
The burgers are better (than McDonald’s) at Hungry Jacks, but that was before Macca’s made Aussie style burgers as well.
Haka😄 you're going to pay for that faux pas
Hi Ryan, @06:14 that IS how you were table served in Macca's about 6 to 8 years ago. Not anymore, I miss that. The chips / fries were also brought out in a mini aluminium basket, that resembled the deep fryer basket. Then you also got melted bacon and cheese on the chips, or gravy and a few other options, they had really upped their game, but it has dropped and even more so since covid, but at least their burgers and range are still better than the U.S.A. and the presentation too. Having said that, I still prefer H.J. for quality and presentation or OPORTO, of which has a great range but not many outlets as it used to.
Still want those Dollarydoos.
👋👋👉👉That's something that surprised me, It would appear some individuals believe Australia doesn't exist. We are all actors and the animals are fake, and let's not forget Kangaroos are robots.
Damn! They aren't paying me. Where do I contact them. I have been doing this for over seventy years. Just think of th back pay.
@@davidberriman5903 We probably need a manager! and a contract!😅
@@davidberriman5903 plus interest
Yes, as a paid actor I want my pay, including back pay from the date I came here! Do I have to contact Fairwork? 💲💲💲🇦🇺 😂😂😂
@@elenawilliams32 Oh! crap, how much should we ask for? My mom needs new dentures we need to pay the bills😅
Nooooo! Ryan, you said the aboriginal guy was going to do the Haka? Wrong island mate - that's Little Australia!
Not all Australian states were convict settled, just the Eastern states. Also, there are many immigrants here too.
Only South Australia was totally free settlers.
And WA.
I enjoy watching your vids, it makes me appreciate being Australian haha
Hey Ryan Recently Rugby League was played in Vegas with 40,000 Attendees! I Think It's time you react to your very own USA 9s World Rugby League team vs Australia 9s team for a good time/or Kiwis for better content. Hope you make a video on this and bring that American Competitive Spirit like your Team did. :)
Information So you don't upset the Aussies and Kiwis:
1. Australia's 9s team were majority younger blokes between 19 and 24 with only two veteran players
2. This sport is called Rugby League not Rugby Union.
3. this is the 9s World Cup and is a shorten version of the Game with only 9 players and 18 minutes in comparison to its base of 13 players for the full 80 minutes.
4. just a fun fact for the video or yourself, the Rugby League Cup that plays every 4 years has had 16 Cups and Australia has won 12.
If you enjoyed making this video you should watch USA 9s vs New Zealand All Blacks 9s. A warning though the Kiwi's never gave you guys a chance with its A Grade Roster. Yes it's as bad as this sounds, so it would definitely be a very good video as they treated the US team like children and played unorthodox in comparison to when they clash Australia.
Hey thanks so much for the superchat and that sounds like a fun suggestion. I will look into those games and see what I find. Have a great week!
He doesn't even sound Australian, more like a robot
I used to live in a Sydney suburb that got hit by a tornado just over 2 years ago, wiped out the roofs of hundreds of houses.
not me getting a hungry jacks ad during this lmaooo
The giant mango going missing was a publicity stunt to promote the big mango if i recall correctly.
The road melting sign photo is doctored, the sign actually says "road subject to flooding." The photo on the right was that person's thong melting because the asphalt was heated to apocalyptic temperatures by the summer Sun.
I disagree about Australia having dangerous animals, insects & birds. America has bears, cougars, panthers, snakes, alligators, killer wasps & bees, coyotes, wolves, vultures, plus too many more to name. 😅 but hey if you say Australia is dangerous I won't argue, keeps the riff-raff away.😂
‼️Misleading Winter Olympics stats! 🇦🇺 As of Beijing 2022, Australia has won 19 Winter Olympic medals - 6 gold, 7 silver and 6 bronze. Steven was the first from a country known for its sun, sand and surf. “Australia's maiden gold came in highly unlikely (but very worthy) circumstances. Steven Bradbury, a member of the bronze-winning 1994 relay team, won gold in short track speed skating on 17 February when all of his competitors in the 1,000 m final crashed out on the final turn while jostling for the medal positions.” The winner is the first to cross the finish line on his feet. Only Steven managed to do that!
Summer Olympics: More than 400 medals overall.
nerd
I love how much you know about Australia
9:58 reminds me of youth group, guys would get "dacked" which I guess Americans would call getting pantsed? Or something. And it was mid 00s so we all had baggy jeans so were basically halfway there lol
That galah is sure smart.
The Haka is New Zealand Mauro war dance ..not Australian
the word you are looking for is Maori - mauro sounds like an aussie car
There is estimated to be 5 types of birds that drop the fire to get fleeing animals, however there is no footage of it. The stories have been told through stories from our Indigenous people and have been seen.
19:04 just thought i should inform you as an aussie with a New Zealander mother, the Haka in a New Zealand (Maori) think not an Australian (Aboriginal) thing.
Thanks Ryan. I always enjoy what other people think of our country. Most of it is true but some not. I'll let you work out what isn't. You'll be surprised.
Fexofenadine is useful for hayfever. Doesn't eliminate it entirely but I get a 50% improvement. Never once got hayfever in North America, Asia, Africa or Europe, but as soon as I returned to Australia it stuck with me for years.
We have a possum problem here next to the scrub,, they bounce on our roof, come into the house and go through your rubbish bins and their mating call/ritual scares the big jesus out of ya.
Mate, the Haka is New Zealand and yes awesome but the Elder coming to her graduation is awesome
The first Mc Cafe was in Melbourne
If you want to avoid being eaten by a Great White Shark in Australia just head to Darwin in the north. No Great Whites around there, the Saltwater Crocs eat them all.
I didn’t travel overseas till a few years ago. Mostly UK, France and Germany. It wasn’t till I was on the plane coming home that the difference in the animal hostility quotient struck me. Nothing had tried to kill, bite, poison or drop ;) on me for a month!
Box Wars started in Melbourne in 2003.
Love your show. We have a calypso here in s.a. it is a toasted hot dog roll with hot dog,ham and cheese yummy !❤️🇦🇺
When Australia voted to became a country in 1901 they wrote the constitution to include an open invitation for New Zealand to join. They even have the Name for the currency "the ZAC" if it were to ever happen.
You're looking at Aboriginals from Australia the haka is done by New Zealanders
Sea foam can be toxic and best avoided. "You'll usually find a lot of sea snakes in the foam, they seem to be attracted to it." IT IS created by impurities in the ocean, such as salts, natural chemicals, dead plants, decomposed fish and excretions from seaweed. These impurities are churned together by powerful waves, which cause the water to form bubbles.” Wiki 24 Feb 2015
I am Australia. Can't pick guys accent but got a good laugh out of your last podcast.
Australia doesn't have tornados at all unless it's in a certain area
Australia is scary for the surprise deadly stuff, but the US has bears, wolves, cougars .... . In truth it is just that you will not accidently find one of those in your sleeping bag, but you might find something deadly in your bag in Australia.
"That's not Australian McDonalds." Not any more, but they did trial doing full on fancy burgers like that for a couple of years. I tried one and they were actually pretty good, but they were about as expensive as a burger from a restaurant or Grill'd and not QUITE as good.
Yep. That's us!!
I was raised here in Australia but was an exchange student in America. And compared to Americans, let me say, we have it easy in Australia. I mean, I had so much fun in America, but everyday life there is more dangerous and just a bit scary. We have a mostly sherltered life in Australia. Unless we live in one of the suburbs that the Spaniard tends to visit, which are rough ghetto areas. We do have rough ghetto areas in the cities, we just hide them from the tourists.
My dad dad went somewhere in Indiana and he had Australian accent and went to pee in a mental institution by accident walked in hiding there and just walked in and pissed himself and then got taken into mental Institute and that was an actual patient faking it Australian accent
i didn't get a word of that
@@Rivelen976you and me both mate 😂😂
Cool story, bro
Very confusing.
I THINK he’s saying his Dad went into the institution & was mistaken for an actual patient.
It’s Sheila, (sheela) a girl’s name. It used to be used by Ockers (Paul Hogan types) to describe a woman but these days comes across as derogatory.
I have an Aunty Sheila, so def not for me!
Sheila is female as bloke is male. Neither are derogatory. Just ocka.
17:34 NO WAY I JUST FOUND AN AIR FILLED CORN CHIP WHILE EATING NACHOS TODAY (I ate it)
The moon will fit inside Australia.
