The thing about fariy bread is that it's a cheap treat that is fun and colourful, can be made on mass, and many parents serve it at kids parties. So it's often not the food stuffs that we enjoy, but the childhood comfort that memories of fariy bread creates. Hence the defensive tone. You're not attacking sprinkles on bread, you're attacking my childhood.
the reason for the power points is safety. In the US, outlet power is 120V, so an electric shock from an outlet is, more often than not (for others) hillarious and (for you) painful. In Australia, it's 240V, so if you get a shock, the Ambulance better be close by.
Weirdly , I recently found out power to the Box in the house is 240V ! Theres a great YT vid from a guy im subscribed too... If your interested ill look for it.
One of the first thing you learn in any electronics course is it's not the voltage that kills! It's the current, 1V can kill and 1kV can be harmless, it all depends on how much current. Really though, it's the power (watts) and so a 110V and 240V socket are not safer or more dangerous than the other they are the same, 110Vx24A is 2400W and 240Vx10A is 2400W.
Except the devices use basically the same amount of power. US mains fuses are normally 15 or 20 Amps at 117 Volts. Australia now uses 230 Volts (used to be 240 Volts) at 10 Amps. So not much difference there. Australian system with switches and an earth is a far safer system, not because of the the voltage or current but the 3rd earth pin and the switch. Oh, and MANDATORY safety switches.
@@AndyViant Agreed "MANDATORY safety switches" are probably the biggest life saver, I encouraged my mum to install one when I was in high school before they were mandatory on existing building, it saved my step dad, years later so I'm glad sh did it.
used to watch some of her videos a few years ago (probably around the time of the video featured here) but she gets a bit too full on with the radical leftist ideology and hatred so stopped watching.
@@iris4547 I see, leftist. Yes. In what ways exactly? If you're going to spread 'information' about her, perhaps some examples beyond "Oh she a bad" would be a good idea. Like, I dunno your ideologies, but you could be thinking 'radical left' because she supports gay rights and went on a protest once. I don't know you and your own thoughts, but the fact you say she's 'radical feminist' and 'radical leftist' makes me think maybe you're either a radical conservative or perhaps a judgmental ass. Please do provide examples of what you find radical about her beliefs beyond "feminism and leftism" though. I'd like to know more.
In 2017, Australia had the largest homes out of the countries surveyed. Australian homes measured, on average, 2,032 square feet, and were closely followed by U.S. homes at 1,901 square feet. Canadian homes were also quite large at 1,792 square feet.
It’s important to recognise that the overwhelming majority of Aussie ADULTS do not eat fairy bread as a regular thing lol - it’s something we make for kids birthday parties.. and all these Australians saying Vegemite in small amounts?!!! Phh! I grew up in the country and we smothered our toast and sandwiches in Vegemite and yes our milk came straight from the cow too 😆
@@Streetw1s3r awesome.. no issue with that .. I’m sure there are some Aussie adults that eat it but I didn’t want them to get the impression it was a commonly served adult hors d’oeuvres 😉
Its all changing now as people universally build ugly grey concrete blocks, but traditionally there is a bit of variation between places. In the Outback the Australian Bungalow is pretty standard, single story weatherboard, wide verandah, tin roof. In North Qld houses are built on stilts for better airflow underneath to keep cool. Also good in floods. Older houses in Geelong have a distinctive look with a slightly rounded front and are made of brick. Melbourne has its townhouses and Ballarat has a lot of houses that are very long and narrow as well as a mix of other styles. There is also the Federation style with its wrought verandah railings.
The Queenslander style home you refer to as "on stumps" is very well designed indeed. Great in floods as you pointed out. Airflow, plus verandas etc for air flow and cool spaces to sit in and get drunk. That being said, one of their main advantages is they are made of timber and can flex and warp in strong winds (think cyclones) and return to their original position, probably minus a roof. Now that those style houses are of an age, they tend to suffer much more but the original intent of their design was very clever.
if i had to guess about thecoins i'd say the 5,10,20 and 50 cent are older and were in order of size. the $1 and $2 used to be paper notes. so when they switched to coins i reckon they made the $1 and $2 smaller so they were cheaper to make and easier to carry. we definitely don't need any coins bigger than our 50 cent.
they did on dollar first thinking would not have do 2 dollars as they were going through lot paper dollar notes before plastic money about same time research started on plastic . was that successful two dollars paper note was done afterwards ran out of sizes to be different to existing coins thats why 2 dollar coin is closer in size to our ten cents then our other coins
The coins were originally sized to help the blind, with the original 50¢ being altered after the first run because they were to easy to confuse with the 20¢. The change from $1 note to $1 coin was due to running out of serial numbers (The last run has hand written numbers and rumoured to be worth a pretty penny) and I suspect the same reason for moving on to the $2 coin. The scrapping of 1¢ & 2¢ coins was due to manufacturing costs leading to the coins being with more than their face value.
5, 10 and 20 cent coins are weighted in proportion to their value as well. 2 x 5 cent coins weigh the same as 1 x 10 cent coin and 2 x 10 cent coins weigh the same as 1 x 20 cent coin. And I’ll let someone else talk about the 50 cent coins.
If you look at how English developed, it started with Briton gaelic, then after invasions by the Romans (Latin), Saxons (German), Scandinavians (Old Norse), Normans (French), then Greek through religion at the time, it became an amalgamation of those languages, then transitioning from Old English, to Middle, then Modern. There was also a dialect change in the 1800's which is why American and British English has several differences, such as the pronunciation of words like dance and path, and Americans retaining the silent H in words like herb.
While there still is some disagreements on the details you have the order wrong. While this is the historical order of peoples the base of Modern English is actually proto German, there is some grammatical influence from Celtic (Briton Gaelic) but very little vocabulary. There is a lot of Latin influence but most of that came after the French, mainly through the church and Latin being the Linga Franca of education similar to the Greek influence. Then came the influence of the British empire with lots of Hindu words and other from native languages of North America, Australia, etc.
Hey mate, I absolutely love your enthusiasm and your will to learn about Australians and even just the little things like our pronunciation of our cities. Your reactions feel more personal compared to other videos about our little country & I just wanted to let you know that we appreciate it!
ok the history of the bin chicken in Sydney (i got this from the guy responsible) -- back in the late 60's early 70's Taronga Zoo had an extensive collection of birds to add to this the Wildlife Park Featherdale in Blacktown gifted them a flock of Australian white ibis (who will go on to be known as bin chickens). The main keeper of the birds section did not know where to put these birds so contacted the director of the zoo for guidance. The director of the zoo said just let them loose in the zoo they will not be any trouble. Well these birds have bred and spread out since then as they have needed more and more space for the growing colonies. so from I think about 30 to 40 animals we now have what we see today in Sydney. It has taken them about 40 to 50 years to spread showing how a small breeding group with no checks can grow
IM IN BUNDY AND OFTEN AT NIGHT YOU CAN GO OUTSIDE AND FIND EM WANDERING ROUND THE FRONT YARDS. THERE'S ALSO A MASSIVE LOT BREEDING NEAR THE WATER AT THE LOCAL BOTANIC GARDENS.
Sounds like what happened to rabbits. "We need something familiar to hunt -- let's bring some rabbits to Australia, like back home." "Oh, look! Australia is now one large rabbit warren."
The higher value coins are smaller because we’re more likely to have them in our purse or pocket so if they were the biggest, they’d weigh a ton! Logic! Our notes, on the other hand, have each denomination in a different colour, with the different sizes in sequential order, to make it easier to identify them, especially for the visually impaired.
Kangaroo is beautiful and Emu is beautifully spicy meat yum to both I was lucky enough to be married to an Australian Aboriginal and tasted a few native things 🇦🇺💜🇮🇹
Architecture does vary across the country. My favourite style home is the Queenslander (no prizes for guessing where you’ll find them mostly). But depending on where you are in the country the architecture varies fairly significantly.
Fairy bread is a childhood treat at kids’ parties so there are cherished memories attached to it and other party treats like chocolate crackles and stick-jaw toffees. If an adult has some fairy bread, it’s for a trip down memory lane to our own childhood! 😍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
You could check out the classic Queenslander house style or Sydney/Melbourne style terrace houses for architecture. There are also classic Aussie architects like Glenn Murcott. I’ll try to think of more for ya.
The most classical house design is the Federation style which became opulat after Federation, 1901. Australian architect Ken Wooley is a noted Hall of Fame member for his designs made for sloping blocks of land.

Western Australia is almost all single story houses double story used to show affluence! Its a bit odd visiting another country when you have to go upstairs to the bathroom or to go to bed, so aussie houses look smaller from the front because they are mostly single story but they are wide and long, many having 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the same level as the kitchen lounge, dinning room and theatre/media room.
The biggest one would be the Queenslander style house which is up on stilts to allow air flow under and around the house to keep it cool and also as protection from flooding.
I never understood why they moved away from this design in a lot of outer suburbs of the cities and large towns. It's perfect for the climate and wet season. The newer builds in brick and on slabs require air con 27/7. Not forgetting the floods. 🤦♀️ 🤷♀️
NO need for a chubby for the kids, no need for a car port, somewhere for the kids bikes.That might depend on what you think a flood is, for my town if the river was less than 1m over the banks it was not worth considering a real flood.
I’m subscribed to Briannes channel and she always goes off track like she did about English. The thing is she’s one of the smartest people I’ve seen on TH-cam. She is a Queenslander who just lives her life her way but when she talks about stuff in depth, wow. She’s an absolute brainiac. Her channel is very entertaining.
With regards to our old copper coins. A two cent coin weighed exactly twice that of a one cent coin. Ergo you could weigh mixed copper coins and know the east value. Same with silver coins. A 50 cent price weighs exactly the same as two 20 cent coins and one ten cent coin, and the 10 cent weighs half that of a 20 cent coin. That was carried over to the 5 cent coin - half the weight of a ten cent coin. Once again you could simply weigh any amount of silver coins and know the value without actually going to the trouble of counting them. All banks had scales to make counting so much quicker. Nowadays we have cojn counting machines that can count quicker than you can weigh, and you don’t even need to seperate copper - 1c and 2c (which we don’t used but are still legal tender), silver - 5c 10c 20c and 50c to run it through the counter. Gold coins came last. I don’t think anyone ever envisaged a $2 coin when the $1 came out, but the $2 would have been too bulky for everyday use if twice the size/weight of a $1 coin. Interestingly the Australian Mint did release a limited number of gold $5 coins just after the $1, and yes, they weighed exactly the same as 5 x $1 coins.
I am 67 years old and I still love fairy bread! It's a result of fairy bread becoming a major feature of children's birthday parties, when times were tougher, and it has come down the generations, and oddly enough, you can have the fanciest foods on the table around the fairy bread, and instinctively the children, and adults, will hone in on that plate of fairy bread. There's something about the combination of butter, with the sweetness of the hundreds and thousands that lay on top of it, and the variance of textures in the mouth from all the ingredients. Yummmmm.......
Summer sunsets after 9pm in Melbourne , long sunrise and sunset. Closer to the equator and Brisbane it's usually dark closer to 7-7:30 pm, but sunsets are 6:30pm in winter, compared to around 5pm in Melbourne.
Billy Thorpe wrote an excellent autobiography before he passed and he said, and I paraphrase, that whenever he was in LA at a party somewhere he could always spot the Aussie by our perfect execution of the word C**t. Lol I never realised until then we were masters in that art.
It’s not used by many Australians and its an absolutely vulgar word…. Often used by people who have no respect for others. I find it utterly disgusting and no one I know says it.
@@carmie9759 Found the boomer. ;p Kiddin' mate. But it's absolutely something that is said. Probably more rural and younger gen, but definitely heard older peeps drop the C more than a few times, too.
@Carmel O'Brien just about everyone I know says it except my mum and my grandparents. If you go to the local pub you will hear it said repeatedly and with much enthusiasm. And @David Hill yea most people I know use it as a term to refer to their mates. We are the only people I know that call our friends cunt and our enemy's mate lol. You know your in for a fight down the pub when someone calls you mate.
@@Chris.Row1991 must be the circle of people you associate with then, cause certainly everyone I know and wherever I go in public no one would say it due to being so offensive and disgusting.
@Carmel O'Brien yes I would say we are probably very different demographics. Don't get me wrong, it shouldn't be used in just any situation or setting. Like I wouldn't say it at church but I might down the pub. Australians have a very unique relationship with the word that wouldn't fly in most countries.
Broome in WA have a certain architecture in general , to cope with the heat and cyclones, QLD have a specific style, the old queenslanders are like high up on stilts to avoid floods, In general Melb and Syd older homes are brick , each state really has a different style suited to weather, date of settlement and lifestyle :-)
@IWrocker Australia actually has the largest homes, on average, in the world. The reason they look small from the street is that modern homes in the cities are built on small blocks, long and narrow. So, the front of the house is usually a garage and a bedroom, and the living areas are in the middle of the house with access to what little yards and BBQ area is available. Older homes may still utilise the 1/4 acre block that was the nom. However, many of the 1/4 acre blocks have been subdivided and now have homes on the rear part of the block, housing another family. Two of my sister have houses that are 5,000sq ft. I have other family members with even bigger homes than 5,000sq ft. One of my daughters has a home on an acre, which has 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Fairy bread is not a thing in mainstream Australia, mate. It may be popular among bogans and dope heads, because it's cheap, and it's easy. But I haven't had fairy bread since I was a 6yro at a birthday party. I lived in Darwin for over a decade, shorts were all I wore. Why on earth would I put shoes and socks on my feet when it's already so hot? If we went out to a pub for a meal, I'd wear thongs and a t-shirt...I'm not a complete slob. But just going to the shop, shorts are fine mate.
Australian sizing for notes and coins is simple. Each have their own size which makes it easier for the blind to know what the value of currency is in their hands. The indents around the coins are all different too, with the 50 cent coin's size being of its own shape. Before they added braille to our notes, each note were of different sizes which again made it easy for the blind to know which note they were holding. I'm not saying this is why they were made that they but it works for them.
A Kiwi friend of mine who’s an engineer (they have the same 240V power outlets as Australia) when in the US thought he’d see how strong their 110V outlets were by sticking a piece of metal in and holding it in his hand. Apparently it just tickled 🤣
We live in Aus and love eating Kangaroo. It is readily available in the local supermarkets, in the form of sausages, burger patties, steaks, mince and diced. Kangaroo is super low in fat (very lean), high in protein and iron and is delicious. It has a very strong gamey taste to it. We eat it once to twice a fortnight. If you ever visit please try it! If you cook it yourself, remember, do not overcook. Due to being so lean, should be cooked medium rare at the most. Mince and sausages, of course should be cooked through.
Pretty sure most of the houses in Australia are built brick veneer (single row of bricks and layer of plaster stuffed with insulation). Here in WA our houses are mostly built double brick. It's better quality, less noise and keeps the inside cooler
In Sydney all homes before 1970-80s were built with double bricks or the old fibros which dominated out west. The fibros were bricked up in the 70-80s which was called brick veneer. All the inner city's terraces are double brick, as are the older unit blocks, a lot of them from the 50-60s in red brick. Double brick keeps the heat in during the winter AND keeps the heat in during bloody summer! Once they warm up by late December it's at least May before they start to truly cool down. But they're definitely rock solid builds. I live in one in Sydney's inner west & many builders comment on the integrity of the build "back in the day".
Of the commonly spoken languages, English is the hardest to learn 😅 And in terms of architectural differences for homes between states … not a lot until you get to Queensland. Old Queenslander homes were built on stilts.
I always thought that English is ridiculously easy to learn, especially for a European, because you can get away with an extremely limited vocabulary and still be able to make yourself understood, but I also picked it up very early so that helps for sure
I was just watching your video on the floods going on in Aus at the moment. If you want a recommendation for a housing style, check out the 'Queenslander'. It's basically a house on stilts for times just like this. Im not even kidding. And they're beautiful. They usually have verandas that wrap all the way around the house too, they're up high, they catch the breeze and that creates a cool indoor/outdoor living space
I gave a like just for the "give it to us Americans, because we can take it" comment... I love that because it's true. without promoting, I watch an American IRL streamer in Aus, and we (Aussies in his chat) give him a bit of banter about the silly things he says or does all day, and he takes it well... You are good sports, and it's just our way of telling you we like you lol
Yes there is an architecture difference - especially the house called Queenslanders. In Queensland timber is normal with corrugated iron rooves, while in New South Wales it is normally brick with tile rooves. South Australia has odd brush fences, and when you get to Perth you discover the oddity that concrete blocks are much larger than anywhere else and are a earthy yellowish color instead of grey. There are areas where sanstone is a common building stone, and other regions where you are more likely to see granite buildings. And if you go to Sydney, especially around Kings Cross, you will discover the largest collection of Art Deco buildings (especially pubs and apartment buildings) in the Southern Hemisphere and second only to New York. But Sydney also has entire suburbs of the Australian version of Edwardian architecture called Federation, and masses of dark red brick 1940ish houses.
Napier in new Zealand has a huge amount of art deco. They had a huge earth quake, and the city burned. It was all rebuilt during the art deco period, and they have a huge festival there every year

Their service is also top notch and they fix things pretty fast, too. I've never switched since going with them since they've done me right for the past 15 years.
I'm subscribed to her channel and she does some good vid's, a very smart and individual Ozzy. On ya Brianne and you to Ian, fun vid. Have a good one mate!
Our coins are weighted incredibly. 2 x 5c = 10c x2 = 20c. Other than that 50c different shape 1$ thicker than 10c approx same size and 2$ 3x as thick as 5c and similar size
Yeah there's different houses in different parts of Australia. NT has cyclone rated houses, Queensland has Queenslanders to utilise the breeze to maximum efficiency and NSW and Vic have Victorian and brick houses. Then there is a huge mixing bowl of all of it in each state depending on where you go.
Two kids, John and Mary, were writing essays. In their essays, John, where Mary had had "had", had had "had had". Had "had had" been correct, John would have gotten 100%.
Fairy bread was a staple for many of us at childhood parties. We're sentimental about it, so we tend to overtalk it sometimes. I wouldn't eat it as an adult!

I've always thought the English language must be so hard for people to learn. There is a lot of French influence in the language as well. Modern language, spelling and grammar has changed so much from Shakespeare English. The older I get, the more I'm less concerned with how someone spells a word or uses correct grammar🤷🏼♀️, because the English language will change again in 400 years time. Never heard of Brianna, but she is great👍,might have to go check her out🤗
Sometimes houses will be in certain locations because of the weather, the Queenslander is sturdy but not a big crush risk if a cyclone takes the roof off, they are also easy to raise in a flood zone. If you look up a street and all the houses are second story Queenslanders and your house is on the ground, you might have a problem...
The last time I had fairy bread was when I was about 5, definitely not part of anyone's normal diet when they're an adult. And yes, timtams can be found in Tasmania - woolies, coles, IGA, convenience stores etc. We also have Bunnings, Maccas, KFC, Kmart, Target etc so we're slowly keeping up lol. Love the videos !
Howdy 🙂 So about the coins, I'm going to put my spin on it starting with 1c onwards. It's about colour and thickness. 1c is thinner than 2c and is Bronze/copper. 5c is the thinnest of the silvers, up to 20c is the thickest, however 50c is about the same thickness but it is much larger and is the only non round coin, being octagon shaped. $1 is gold coin and is thinner than $2 coin. So it seems to begin with thickness and the worth is at its maximum in the sequence relative to its thickness, until the colour and sometimes shape ends that sequence. So basically the only thing that doesn't make a difference in worth is the actual diameter or circumference. I am unsure about the $5 coin and $200 coin as they are more for collection purposes than used as a general tender
Sydney here. My internet runs at an average of 600mb/s. It depends on if you have fibre to the node or house. Government got cheap and changed the lines to copper as it was cheaper.
Peanut butter and jam as we call it in Australia is a fecking top mix. Been smashing it since the 70s watching the Brady Bunch. Jelly here is Jello to you mob.
Fairy bread is predominantly a party treat. Sadly my grandson has now outgrown fairy bread at his birthdays, so looks like sneaking the occasional slice may be behind me.
For the real estate stuff, look at listings in Sydney’s inner west for some small, one bedroom, run-down connected houses, they are usually smaller on the outside and ridiculously priced.
Lol. Oddly enough, our coins did get bigger the more in value, but the we got rid of the $1 and $2 not and made them coins and made the smaller for convenience as they are the most common coin you will get. Our 2c piece was bigger than the 5c piece but 2c was brown in colour and 5c was silver.
Houses in Australia are build for climate eg hot climates have mostly two stories and high ceilings,bottom half open for air flow,and because hot means tropical mainly we have cyclone rods through the structure to keep it from blowing away lol, cold climates usually have double brick loads of insulation and low ceilings to keep heat in
Our 1 and 2 cents (no longer in circulation) were made of cheap copper, the 2 cents was @ double the size of the 1 cent showing it was double the value. Then the 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents were in silver, the size was approximate to show the value of silver in that coin, while the 50 cents isn’t two and a half times the twenty cents, I guess the shape takes into account the artistic value of the coin. When our paper note one and two dollar coin was made it was smaller than the silver coins but still represented it’s true value as they were gold coins.
Bri is totally awesome mate. As for the big question ( and I can’t believe I remembered this ) but it came from the question why do Aussies out a O on the end of everything ? The Italians did it first. And that’s when the tangent started about the stoopid English language 😉🤙😎🇦🇺
Wahoo, I love Brianne, she has brilliant content ..fairy bread is precious because as kids of the 70’s treat food wasn’t big, especially if you weren’t flushed with funds, so when mums made fairy dread for a party, it was so special...so fairy bread brings back memories of past the parcel, and musical chairs
Houses are built differently in other states here too, like houses in Perth are all brick, Melbourne are usually brick veneers and houses in Queensland are full stud wall and on stilts in northern places
Great choice of video, this kid is awesome! Re R/E, Mosman NSW, Coober Pedy SA, Elizabeth NSW, Terrigal NSW, Leura NSW, Federal NSW, Darwin NT, Margaret River WA, Phillip Island Vic, Sale Vic. You should find some good variety in those.
John , where Tom had "had had" had had "had" is a perfect example of why English is confusing. I helped a friend in China teach English and it taught me a lot about my own language. Also my Chinese girlfriend had a slight American accent but spoke perfect Australian (according to a Canadian mate of mine who she gave a particularly hard time to!)
Houses one that stands out is old queenslanders. They were made of wood and on stilts because of the flood Plains and rains they can get but they are dissapearing and are harder to find. House designs otherwise I don't think extra obvious where they are from but there are things like a home here in SA good chance it's brick, roof covered in solar panels and roof mounted a/c. As for English it's a hodge podgy of other languages and continues to absorb new words from other languages all the time but the reason it's so different around the world is because it's spoken in places so far apart so people read it and therefore speak it differently.
Dont forget also that fairy bread was the invention of necessity, it was invented during the great depression, around the mid 1920's, when a mother that couldnt afford to buy a cake for her child or to make one instead made fairy bread, which became a huge hit with the children, it was colourful, different and not something that you'd have ever day, and it took off from there lol it's more than just a piece of bread with sprinkles on it, it's a monument to the aussie battler, never give up and always think positive, that's why us aussies are protective of our damn fairy bread! Now scuse me imma going to make some now 😂
Im not sure if peeps understand that we dont eat (well most of us) fairy bread everyday. When I grew up there where certain staples at a kids birthday party - fairy bread, milk arrowroot biscuits with pink or white icing with faces made from lollies on, cup cakes, chocolate crackles (made from rice bubbles) honey joys (made from corn flakes) mix lollies, little sandwiches, little red sausages and bowls of cambells tomato soup to dip these and little party pies and sausage rolls in - usually cordial or lemonade and a birthday cake. some Mums also made hard toffees in pattypans and maybe a toffee apple to take home - Most mums are very sugar content conscious esp the sugar crash and avoid it - Fairy bread is usually, for the littlies, saved for a special occasion thing - or special treat
People complaining about internet speed in Australia need to take into account it’s not always the internet but possibly a combination of multiple devices connected to the wifi, issues with the device, and the wifi connection.

The only different houses are called Queenslanders and that's because in qld there is crazy change in seasons. Floods and cyclones. So they build the house 8ft above ground to let the water flow underneath.

Theres a great YT vid from a guy im subscribed too... If your interested ill look for it.
A switch is also better at quickly completing a circuit compared to the slower method of plugging in.
So less damaging sparking of contacts.
One of the first thing you learn in any electronics course is it's not the voltage that kills! It's the current, 1V can kill and 1kV can be harmless, it all depends on how much current. Really though, it's the power (watts) and so a 110V and 240V socket are not safer or more dangerous than the other they are the same, 110Vx24A is 2400W and 240Vx10A is 2400W.
Except the devices use basically the same amount of power.
US mains fuses are normally 15 or 20 Amps at 117 Volts. Australia now uses 230 Volts (used to be 240 Volts) at 10 Amps.
So not much difference there.
Australian system with switches and an earth is a far safer system, not because of the the voltage or current but the 3rd earth pin and the switch.
Oh, and MANDATORY safety switches.
@@AndyViant Agreed "MANDATORY safety switches" are probably the biggest life saver, I encouraged my mum to install one when I was in high school before they were mandatory on existing building, it saved my step dad, years later so I'm glad sh did it.
That was brilliant, never seen this chick before, she is top notch.
GO AUSSIE CHICK 👍😎🇦🇺
used to watch some of her videos a few years ago (probably around the time of the video featured here) but she gets a bit too full on with the radical leftist ideology and hatred so stopped watching.
@@iris4547 I see, leftist. Yes. In what ways exactly? If you're going to spread 'information' about her, perhaps some examples beyond "Oh she a bad" would be a good idea. Like, I dunno your ideologies, but you could be thinking 'radical left' because she supports gay rights and went on a protest once. I don't know you and your own thoughts, but the fact you say she's 'radical feminist' and 'radical leftist' makes me think maybe you're either a radical conservative or perhaps a judgmental ass. Please do provide examples of what you find radical about her beliefs beyond "feminism and leftism" though. I'd like to know more.
I like that an Aussie can say to another Aussie " is it hot hot or hot hot ?" and we know what it means and which hot is which
True
And will do the Carl Baron skit
Been watching Brienne for a few years, shes both funny and smart. So chilled.

In 2017, Australia had the largest homes out of the countries surveyed. Australian homes measured, on average, 2,032 square feet, and were closely followed by U.S. homes at 1,901 square feet. Canadian homes were also quite large at 1,792 square feet.
It’s important to recognise that the overwhelming majority of Aussie ADULTS do not eat fairy bread as a regular thing lol - it’s something we make for kids birthday parties.. and all these Australians saying Vegemite in small amounts?!!! Phh! I grew up in the country and we smothered our toast and sandwiches in Vegemite and yes our milk came straight from the cow too 😆
Well I'm a 28 year old adult and I love fairy bread and I make it as a snack regularly when I feel like something sweet.
@@Streetw1s3r awesome.. no issue with that .. I’m sure there are some Aussie adults that eat it but I didn’t want them to get the impression it was a commonly served adult hors d’oeuvres 😉
@@Dr_KAP Why not? It's delicious. 😂
@@Streetw1s3r 🤣 I know. It is. You’re absolutely right.
What?! Adults don’t eat fairy bread?? Wtf
Its all changing now as people universally build ugly grey concrete blocks, but traditionally there is a bit of variation between places.
In the Outback the Australian Bungalow is pretty standard, single story weatherboard, wide verandah, tin roof.
In North Qld houses are built on stilts for better airflow underneath to keep cool. Also good in floods.
Older houses in Geelong have a distinctive look with a slightly rounded front and are made of brick. Melbourne has its townhouses and Ballarat has a lot of houses that are very long and narrow as well as a mix of other styles.
There is also the Federation style with its wrought verandah railings.
The Queenslander style home you refer to as "on stumps" is very well designed indeed. Great in floods as you pointed out. Airflow, plus verandas etc for air flow and cool spaces to sit in and get drunk. That being said, one of their main advantages is they are made of timber and can flex and warp in strong winds (think cyclones) and return to their original position, probably minus a roof. Now that those style houses are of an age, they tend to suffer much more but the original intent of their design was very clever.
Awesome description thank you 😆
More than just Ballarat with the long houses and that would just be the older parts of town, not in the new parts.
An old Queenslander is great.
The architecture in Coober Peedy is also very distinctive. It's all underground
if i had to guess about thecoins i'd say the 5,10,20 and 50 cent are older and were in order of size. the $1 and $2 used to be paper notes. so when they switched to coins i reckon they made the $1 and $2 smaller so they were cheaper to make and easier to carry. we definitely don't need any coins bigger than our 50 cent.
It's also to help counting money. $1 in silver coins is the same weight no matter which coins are used.
they did on dollar first thinking would not have do 2 dollars as they were going through lot paper dollar notes before plastic money about same time research started on plastic . was that successful two dollars paper note was done afterwards ran out of sizes to be different to existing coins thats why 2 dollar coin is closer in size to our ten cents then our other coins
Pretty much bang on.
The coins were originally sized to help the blind, with the original 50¢ being altered after the first run because they were to easy to confuse with the 20¢.
The change from $1 note to $1 coin was due to running out of serial numbers (The last run has hand written numbers and rumoured to be worth a pretty penny) and I suspect the same reason for moving on to the $2 coin. The scrapping of 1¢ & 2¢ coins was due to manufacturing costs leading to the coins being with more than their face value.
5, 10 and 20 cent coins are weighted in proportion to their value as well. 2 x 5 cent coins weigh the same as 1 x 10 cent coin and 2 x 10 cent coins weigh the same as 1 x 20 cent coin. And I’ll let someone else talk about the 50 cent coins.
If you look at how English developed, it started with Briton gaelic, then after invasions by the Romans (Latin), Saxons (German), Scandinavians (Old Norse), Normans (French), then Greek through religion at the time, it became an amalgamation of those languages, then transitioning from Old English, to Middle, then Modern. There was also a dialect change in the 1800's which is why American and British English has several differences, such as the pronunciation of words like dance and path, and Americans retaining the silent H in words like herb.
Agreed...it's a real mixture of borrowed words and meanings.
Do Americans call people named Herbert ,Erbert
O I think they are saying Americans pronounce the H when it's supposed to be silent
While there still is some disagreements on the details you have the order wrong. While this is the historical order of peoples the base of Modern English is actually proto German, there is some grammatical influence from Celtic (Briton Gaelic) but very little vocabulary. There is a lot of Latin influence but most of that came after the French, mainly through the church and Latin being the Linga Franca of education similar to the Greek influence. Then came the influence of the British empire with lots of Hindu words and other from native languages of North America, Australia, etc.
@@jacobedmunds8609 nope in the US herb = erb
Hey mate, I absolutely love your enthusiasm and your will to learn about Australians and even just the little things like our pronunciation of our cities. Your reactions feel more personal compared to other videos about our little country & I just wanted to let you know that we appreciate it!
Gotta love Brianne, I enjoy watching her brain melt over some of the reaction vids she does.
ok the history of the bin chicken in Sydney (i got this from the guy responsible) -- back in the late 60's early 70's Taronga Zoo had an extensive collection of birds to add to this the Wildlife Park Featherdale in Blacktown gifted them a flock of Australian white ibis (who will go on to be known as bin chickens). The main keeper of the birds section did not know where to put these birds so contacted the director of the zoo for guidance. The director of the zoo said just let them loose in the zoo they will not be any trouble.
Well these birds have bred and spread out since then as they have needed more and more space for the growing colonies. so from I think about 30 to 40 animals we now have what we see today in Sydney. It has taken them about 40 to 50 years to spread showing how a small breeding group with no checks can grow
We have them in Ballarat too now.
And common as dirt in and around Adelaide...
IM IN BUNDY AND OFTEN AT NIGHT YOU CAN GO OUTSIDE AND FIND EM WANDERING ROUND THE FRONT YARDS. THERE'S ALSO A MASSIVE LOT BREEDING NEAR THE WATER AT THE LOCAL BOTANIC GARDENS.
Sounds like what happened to rabbits. "We need something familiar to hunt -- let's bring some rabbits to Australia, like back home." "Oh, look! Australia is now one large rabbit warren."
I have been watching Brianne for years , she is a very smart young lady and always very funny
The higher value coins are smaller because we’re more likely to have them in our purse or pocket so if they were the biggest, they’d weigh a ton! Logic! Our notes, on the other hand, have each denomination in a different colour, with the different sizes in sequential order, to make it easier to identify them, especially for the visually impaired.
Who even uses coins these days? Vending machines and parking meters often only take cards.
@@Thiswasmeanttobeeasy Well, history repeats itself so they’ll be back.
Kangaroo is beautiful and Emu is beautifully spicy meat yum to both I was lucky enough to be married to an Australian Aboriginal and tasted a few native things 🇦🇺💜🇮🇹
Architecture does vary across the country. My favourite style home is the Queenslander (no prizes for guessing where you’ll find them mostly). But depending on where you are in the country the architecture varies fairly significantly.
Fairy bread is a childhood treat at kids’ parties so there are cherished memories attached to it and other party treats like chocolate crackles and stick-jaw toffees. If an adult has some fairy bread, it’s for a trip down memory lane to our own childhood! 😍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
You could check out the classic Queenslander house style or Sydney/Melbourne style terrace houses for architecture. There are also classic Aussie architects like Glenn Murcott. I’ll try to think of more for ya.
The most classical house design is the Federation style which became opulat after Federation, 1901.
Australian architect Ken Wooley is a noted Hall of Fame member for his designs made for sloping blocks of land.

Western Australia is almost all single story houses double story used to show affluence! Its a bit odd visiting another country when you have to go upstairs to the bathroom or to go to bed, so aussie houses look smaller from the front because they are mostly single story but they are wide and long, many having 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the same level as the kitchen lounge, dinning room and theatre/media room.
The biggest one would be the Queenslander style house which is up on stilts to allow air flow under and around the house to keep it cool and also as protection from flooding.
I never understood why they moved away from this design in a lot of outer suburbs of the cities and large towns. It's perfect for the climate and wet season. The newer builds in brick and on slabs require air con 27/7. Not forgetting the floods. 🤦♀️ 🤷♀️
NO need for a chubby for the kids, no need for a car port, somewhere for the kids bikes.That might depend on what you think a flood is, for my town if the river was less than 1m over the banks it was not worth considering a real flood.
I’m subscribed to Briannes channel and she always goes off track like she did about English. The thing is she’s one of the smartest people I’ve seen on TH-cam. She is a Queenslander who just lives her life her way but when she talks about stuff in depth, wow. She’s an absolute brainiac. Her channel is very entertaining.
With regards to our old copper coins. A two cent coin weighed exactly twice that of a one cent coin. Ergo you could weigh mixed copper coins and know the east value.
Same with silver coins. A 50 cent price weighs exactly the same as two 20 cent coins and one ten cent coin, and the 10 cent weighs half that of a 20 cent coin. That was carried over to the 5 cent coin - half the weight of a ten cent coin. Once again you could simply weigh any amount of silver coins and know the value without actually going to the trouble of counting them. All banks had scales to make counting so much quicker. Nowadays we have cojn counting machines that can count quicker than you can weigh, and you don’t even need to seperate copper - 1c and 2c (which we don’t used but are still legal tender), silver - 5c 10c 20c and 50c to run it through the counter. Gold coins came last. I don’t think anyone ever envisaged a $2 coin when the $1 came out, but the $2 would have been too bulky for everyday use if twice the size/weight of a $1 coin. Interestingly the Australian Mint did release a limited number of gold $5 coins just after the $1, and yes, they weighed exactly the same as 5 x $1 coins.
I am 67 years old and I still love fairy bread!
It's a result of fairy bread becoming a major feature of children's birthday parties, when times were tougher, and it has come down the generations, and oddly enough, you can have the fanciest foods on the table around the fairy bread, and instinctively the children, and adults, will hone in on that plate of fairy bread.
There's something about the combination of butter, with the sweetness of the hundreds and thousands that lay on top of it, and the variance of textures in the mouth from all the ingredients. Yummmmm.......
Summer sunsets after 9pm in Melbourne , long sunrise and sunset.

That was the funniest video. Thank you. Really needed a laugh today.
Billy Thorpe wrote an excellent autobiography before he passed and he said, and I paraphrase, that whenever he was in LA at a party somewhere he could always spot the Aussie by our perfect execution of the word C**t. Lol I never realised until then we were masters in that art.
It’s not used by many Australians and its an absolutely vulgar word…. Often used by people who have no respect for others. I find it utterly disgusting and no one I know says it.
@@carmie9759 Found the boomer. ;p
Kiddin' mate. But it's absolutely something that is said. Probably more rural and younger gen, but definitely heard older peeps drop the C more than a few times, too.
@Carmel O'Brien just about everyone I know says it except my mum and my grandparents. If you go to the local pub you will hear it said repeatedly and with much enthusiasm.
And @David Hill yea most people I know use it as a term to refer to their mates. We are the only people I know that call our friends cunt and our enemy's mate lol. You know your in for a fight down the pub when someone calls you mate.
@@Chris.Row1991 must be the circle of people you associate with then, cause certainly everyone I know and wherever I go in public no one would say it due to being so offensive and disgusting.
@Carmel O'Brien yes I would say we are probably very different demographics. Don't get me wrong, it shouldn't be used in just any situation or setting. Like I wouldn't say it at church but I might down the pub.
Australians have a very unique relationship with the word that wouldn't fly in most countries.
Broome in WA have a certain architecture in general , to cope with the heat and cyclones, QLD have a specific style, the old queenslanders are like high up on stilts to avoid floods, In general Melb and Syd older homes are brick , each state really has a different style suited to weather, date of settlement and lifestyle :-)
Also alot of Adelaide houses were built of very thick stone!
@IWrocker Australia actually has the largest homes, on average, in the world. The reason they look small from the street is that modern homes in the cities are built on small blocks, long and narrow. So, the front of the house is usually a garage and a bedroom, and the living areas are in the middle of the house with access to what little yards and BBQ area is available. Older homes may still utilise the 1/4 acre block that was the nom. However, many of the 1/4 acre blocks have been subdivided and now have homes on the rear part of the block, housing another family. Two of my sister have houses that are 5,000sq ft. I have other family members with even bigger homes than 5,000sq ft. One of my daughters has a home on an acre, which has 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
Fairy bread is not a thing in mainstream Australia, mate. It may be popular among bogans and dope heads, because it's cheap, and it's easy. But I haven't had fairy bread since I was a 6yro at a birthday party.
I lived in Darwin for over a decade, shorts were all I wore. Why on earth would I put shoes and socks on my feet when it's already so hot? If we went out to a pub for a meal, I'd wear thongs and a t-shirt...I'm not a complete slob. But just going to the shop, shorts are fine mate.
Australian sizing for notes and coins is simple. Each have their own size which makes it easier for the blind to know what the value of currency is in their hands. The indents around the coins are all different too, with the 50 cent coin's size being of its own shape. Before they added braille to our notes, each note were of different sizes which again made it easy for the blind to know which note they were holding. I'm not saying this is why they were made that they but it works for them.
A Kiwi friend of mine who’s an engineer (they have the same 240V power outlets as Australia) when in the US thought he’d see how strong their 110V outlets were by sticking a piece of metal in and holding it in his hand. Apparently it just tickled 🤣
We live in Aus and love eating Kangaroo. It is readily available in the local supermarkets, in the form of sausages, burger patties, steaks, mince and diced. Kangaroo is super low in fat (very lean), high in protein and iron and is delicious. It has a very strong gamey taste to it. We eat it once to twice a fortnight. If you ever visit please try it! If you cook it yourself, remember, do not overcook. Due to being so lean, should be cooked medium rare at the most. Mince and sausages, of course should be cooked through.
This woman has incredible pacing, such good editing skills
I love her honesty
Pretty sure most of the houses in Australia are built brick veneer (single row of bricks and layer of plaster stuffed with insulation). Here in WA our houses are mostly built double brick. It's better quality, less noise and keeps the inside cooler
In Sydney all homes before 1970-80s were built with double bricks or the old fibros which dominated out west. The fibros were bricked up in the 70-80s which was called brick veneer. All the inner city's terraces are double brick, as are the older unit blocks, a lot of them from the 50-60s in red brick. Double brick keeps the heat in during the winter AND keeps the heat in during bloody summer! Once they warm up by late December it's at least May before they start to truly cool down. But they're definitely rock solid builds. I live in one in Sydney's inner west & many builders comment on the integrity of the build "back in the day".
As an Aussie, I love this girl and video
Another great reaction Ian. 👍🏼🇦🇺
She definitely spent to much time in Byron bay 😂
Of the commonly spoken languages, English is the hardest to learn 😅
And in terms of architectural differences for homes between states … not a lot until you get to Queensland. Old Queenslander homes were built on stilts.
I always thought that English is ridiculously easy to learn, especially for a European, because you can get away with an extremely limited vocabulary and still be able to make yourself understood, but I also picked it up very early so that helps for sure
I love Brianne. She’s hilarious.
House styles adapt to location. Flood prone areas are a great example
Ian, I really enjoy watching your content, keep up with the great videos 🇦🇺
Thank you 👍😄
I was just watching your video on the floods going on in Aus at the moment. If you want a recommendation for a housing style, check out the 'Queenslander'. It's basically a house on stilts for times just like this. Im not even kidding. And they're beautiful. They usually have verandas that wrap all the way around the house too, they're up high, they catch the breeze and that creates a cool indoor/outdoor living space
Iwrocker how smart is this young lady.
I gave a like just for the "give it to us Americans, because we can take it" comment... I love that because it's true. without promoting, I watch an American IRL streamer in Aus, and we (Aussies in his chat) give him a bit of banter about the silly things he says or does all day, and he takes it well... You are good sports, and it's just our way of telling you we like you lol
That’s awesome Craig 👏😉
peanut butter and jam/jelly is common here too.. peanut butter and honey combo is nice too
Dont forget peanut butter and banana.
Yes there is an architecture difference - especially the house called Queenslanders. In Queensland timber is normal with corrugated iron rooves, while in New South Wales it is normally brick with tile rooves. South Australia has odd brush fences, and when you get to Perth you discover the oddity that concrete blocks are much larger than anywhere else and are a earthy yellowish color instead of grey. There are areas where sanstone is a common building stone, and other regions where you are more likely to see granite buildings. And if you go to Sydney, especially around Kings Cross, you will discover the largest collection of Art Deco buildings (especially pubs and apartment buildings) in the Southern Hemisphere and second only to New York. But Sydney also has entire suburbs of the Australian version of Edwardian architecture called Federation, and masses of dark red brick 1940ish houses.
And then you have Coober Pedy... Lol
@@annesmith1210 Oh yes. How could I forget the town where people live underground?
Napier in new Zealand has a huge amount of art deco. They had a huge earth quake, and the city burned. It was all rebuilt during the art deco period, and they have a huge festival there every year

Fairy bread was always a kids birthday party treat, not an everyday food.
I'm subscribed to her channel and she does some good vid's, a very smart and individual Ozzy. On ya Brianne and you to Ian, fun vid. Have a good one mate!
Our coins are weighted incredibly.
2 x 5c = 10c x2 = 20c.
Other than that 50c different shape 1$ thicker than 10c approx same size and 2$ 3x as thick as 5c and similar size
Yeah there's different houses in different parts of Australia. NT has cyclone rated houses, Queensland has Queenslanders to utilise the breeze to maximum efficiency and NSW and Vic have Victorian and brick houses. Then there is a huge mixing bowl of all of it in each state depending on where you go.
Two kids, John and Mary, were writing essays. In their essays, John, where Mary had had "had", had had "had had". Had "had had" been correct, John would have gotten 100%.
Fairy bread was a staple for many of us at childhood parties. We're sentimental about it, so we tend to overtalk it sometimes. I wouldn't eat it as an adult!
I used to watch Brianne's vids a lot - she's very funny in a deadpan way - but there was a lot of promotion for her clothing brand and I got bored.

I've always thought the English language must be so hard for people to learn. There is a lot of French influence in the language as well. Modern language, spelling and grammar has changed so much from Shakespeare English. The older I get, the more I'm less concerned with how someone spells a word or uses correct grammar🤷🏼♀️, because the English language will change again in 400 years time. Never heard of Brianna, but she is great👍,might have to go check her out🤗
Sometimes houses will be in certain locations because of the weather, the Queenslander is sturdy but not a big crush risk if a cyclone takes the roof off, they are also easy to raise in a flood zone. If you look up a street and all the houses are second story Queenslanders and your house is on the ground, you might have a problem...
The last time I had fairy bread was when I was about 5, definitely not part of anyone's normal diet when they're an adult. And yes, timtams can be found in Tasmania - woolies, coles, IGA, convenience stores etc. We also have Bunnings, Maccas, KFC, Kmart, Target etc so we're slowly keeping up lol. Love the videos !
Guilford and Fremantle in Perth have some of my favourite houses.
Some of the oldest homes are in those suburbs
Howdy 🙂
So about the coins, I'm going to put my spin on it starting with 1c onwards.
It's about colour and thickness.
1c is thinner than 2c and is Bronze/copper.
5c is the thinnest of the silvers, up to 20c is the thickest, however 50c is about the same thickness but it is much larger and is the only non round coin, being octagon shaped.
$1 is gold coin and is thinner than $2 coin.
So it seems to begin with thickness and the worth is at its maximum in the sequence relative to its thickness, until the colour and sometimes shape ends that sequence.
So basically the only thing that doesn't make a difference in worth is the actual diameter or circumference.
I am unsure about the $5 coin and $200 coin as they are more for collection purposes than used as a general tender
Saw pink in concert Fantastic! 💕🥰💜💙
Sydney here. My internet runs at an average of 600mb/s. It depends on if you have fibre to the node or house. Government got cheap and changed the lines to copper as it was cheaper.
in Queensland many houses are on "stilts"( more so in the north) to let air underneath which helps with cooling
Not everyone has crap internet down here... we have 1Gbps fiber in my suburb, and it's amazing :)
Peanut butter and jam as we call it in Australia is a fecking top mix. Been smashing it since the 70s watching the Brady Bunch. Jelly here is Jello to you mob.
Brianne? Truly awesome. Love the girl.
Fairy bread is predominantly a party treat. Sadly my grandson has now outgrown fairy bread at his birthdays, so looks like sneaking the occasional slice may be behind me.
For the real estate stuff, look at listings in Sydney’s inner west for some small, one bedroom, run-down connected houses, they are usually smaller on the outside and ridiculously priced.
Lol. Oddly enough, our coins did get bigger the more in value, but the we got rid of the $1 and $2 not and made them coins and made the smaller for convenience as they are the most common coin you will get. Our 2c piece was bigger than the 5c piece but 2c was brown in colour and 5c was silver.
She is a good example of how to take the piss because we thing lot's and call it out. Hahaha
Houses in Australia are build for climate
eg hot climates have mostly two stories and high ceilings,bottom half open for air flow,and because hot means tropical mainly we have cyclone rods through the structure to keep it from blowing away lol, cold climates usually have double brick loads of insulation and low ceilings to keep heat in
I love this smart sassy girl 😆😊
Our 1 and 2 cents (no longer in circulation) were made of cheap copper, the 2 cents was @ double the size of the 1 cent showing it was double the value. Then the 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents were in silver, the size was approximate to show the value of silver in that coin, while the 50 cents isn’t two and a half times the twenty cents, I guess the shape takes into account the artistic value of the coin. When our paper note one and two dollar coin was made it was smaller than the silver coins but still represented it’s true value as they were gold coins.
Bri is totally awesome mate. As for the big question ( and I can’t believe I remembered this ) but it came from the question why do Aussies out a O on the end of everything ? The Italians did it first. And that’s when the tangent started about the stoopid English language 😉🤙😎🇦🇺
Wahoo, I love Brianne, she has brilliant content ..fairy bread is precious because as kids of the 70’s treat food wasn’t big, especially if you weren’t flushed with funds, so when mums made fairy dread for a party, it was so special...so fairy bread brings back memories of past the parcel, and musical chairs
she's so funny, I found her about a year ago
So good to see your looking at brianne's content :)
Houses are built differently in other states here too, like houses in Perth are all brick, Melbourne are usually brick veneers and houses in Queensland are full stud wall and on stilts in northern places
Some homes here in south east Queensland are still on stilts
Great choice of video, this kid is awesome! Re R/E, Mosman NSW, Coober Pedy SA, Elizabeth NSW, Terrigal NSW, Leura NSW, Federal NSW, Darwin NT, Margaret River WA, Phillip Island Vic, Sale Vic. You should find some good variety in those.
Rock, paper, scissors. Brianne's rants are pretty fun. Fairy bread is the best!
John , where Tom had "had had" had had "had" is a perfect example of why English is confusing. I helped a friend in China teach English and it taught me a lot about my own language. Also my Chinese girlfriend had a slight American accent but spoke perfect Australian (according to a Canadian mate of mine who she gave a particularly hard time to!)
Houses one that stands out is old queenslanders. They were made of wood and on stilts because of the flood Plains and rains they can get but they are dissapearing and are harder to find. House designs otherwise I don't think extra obvious where they are from but there are things like a home here in SA good chance it's brick, roof covered in solar panels and roof mounted a/c. As for English it's a hodge podgy of other languages and continues to absorb new words from other languages all the time but the reason it's so different around the world is because it's spoken in places so far apart so people read it and therefore speak it differently.
Dont forget also that fairy bread was the invention of necessity, it was invented during the great depression, around the mid 1920's, when a mother that couldnt afford to buy a cake for her child or to make one instead made fairy bread, which became a huge hit with the children, it was colourful, different and not something that you'd have ever day, and it took off from there lol it's more than just a piece of bread with sprinkles on it, it's a monument to the aussie battler, never give up and always think positive, that's why us aussies are protective of our damn fairy bread! Now scuse me imma going to make some now 😂
Love this girl!

Im not sure if peeps understand that we dont eat (well most of us) fairy bread everyday. When I grew up there where certain staples at a kids birthday party - fairy bread, milk arrowroot biscuits with pink or white icing with faces made from lollies on, cup cakes, chocolate crackles (made from rice bubbles) honey joys (made from corn flakes) mix lollies, little sandwiches, little red sausages and bowls of cambells tomato soup to dip these and little party pies and sausage rolls in - usually cordial or lemonade and a birthday cake. some Mums also made hard toffees in pattypans and maybe a toffee apple to take home - Most mums are very sugar content conscious esp the sugar crash and avoid it - Fairy bread is usually, for the littlies, saved for a special occasion thing - or special treat
Yes, there are definitely different types of houses in each state.

People complaining about internet speed in Australia need to take into account it’s not always the internet but possibly a combination of multiple devices connected to the wifi, issues with the device, and the wifi connection.
You must look at all of these things to get better speeds.

17:30 The old budgie smuggler. For ref: Ian, the swimmers or bathers is what we call budgie smugglers, think about it, a budgerigar is a common wild parakeet found in Australia that has been domesticated, but it is a small size bird, lets say a pocket sized bird, one that can be compared to the size of ones willy, peacker, prick, weenie, ok, I'll say it cock, and thats why the swimwear is call budgie smugglers.
Yes she is an Aussie just like me and she is spot on right

Fairy bread is a staple at kids parties. It's easy to make and cost effective.
Australia has power outlet switches all UK plugs have a fuse in them, 240v can kill you!
USA has 110v and the reason so many of your house lights are dim , your hairdryers are rubbish and kettles take so long to boil lol But I am pretty sure 110v came before 240v
Volts are irrelevant to how lethal teh shock is its AMPs that matter.
The only different houses are called Queenslanders and that's because in qld there is crazy change in seasons. Floods and cyclones. So they build the house 8ft above ground to let the water flow underneath.
Gday Ian and Fam , i've watched a few of her vids and shes awesome, she tells it like it is
