I'm an Aussie and I agree with nearly all the tips. If you are making the journey to our beautiful shores, come for at least a month! Crossing Australia is like crossing into many different countries, except the people are pretty much the same wherever you go. Friendly, helpful and happy...mostly 😉 There is sooo much to do Down Under that a month would be pushing it... Many visits is the best idea. Enjoy every moment! Ask people for info, don't be shy. PS Please learn to swim before venturing into our pristine beaches 🎉
Planning a month probably Feb or March 2025. How would YOU arrange our stay geographically? Coming from San Francisco area and we like hiking with a good dose of museum/cultural/UNESCO World Heritage sites. How can we best see and experience what is uniquely Australian in 4 weeks? I DO understand that Australia is a CONTINENT, HUGE! US is huge too, lived here my whole life and experienced maybe 20%.
@@luckylibbet1 At that time of year I'd avoid northern Australia altogether. (hurricanes and box jellyfish) Look at 2 weeks in Tasmania, and a week each in Melbourne and Sydney, doing daytrips to the Jenolan Caves / Blue Mountains, Royal National Park / Kiama blowhole, and in Victoria, Great Ocean Road, Wilsons Prom, Phillip Island, Ballarat, Mornington Peninsula, Dandenongs etc.
My advice is that Australia is huge, most Australians have only seen a small proportion of Australia, that’s how big it is, so expect to see some great things in one or two states on a holiday, not the whole place 😊.
A great way to get around Australia is by hiring a car or motorbike and driving inter city. Stop for breaks at coffee stops in most towns, or cook a meal on a barbie. Biggest tip if doing this is to watch out for wild life crossing roads. They have right of way. Enjoy!
If you want to take on the outback, like the actual outback. PREPARE! A britts camper by itself won’t cut it. Take at least enough drinking water for a week and plenty of extra fuel as a bare minimum. It’s nowhere near as bad as it used to be but there are still huge amounts of the continent that are almost completely empty(except for the occasional pub lol) ask the locals for advice if you can understand the accents trust me they’ll usually be amazingly helpful. We got caught by floods once near Tibooburra on a 4WD trip and a station owner dropped by to see how we were travelling for food then drove back to his homestead to get us some lamb chops. It was almost a 160 km round trip! Australia is vast and ancient. If you take the time and make the effort to understand and experience this you will never forget it…
If you go to Melbourne, don't have Starbucks. Melbourne is well known for Cofffee culture in Australia and throughout the world. Better to experience it. Additionally, while most cities close up for bed by 10, Melbourne is a city that stays out much later, you can generally find bars or restereaunts on weekends open until 1am. A few places will open until 3.
Flying to Adelaide in late July, early August so, these tips are incredibly helpful. Especially about the type of adaptor to buy. I never thought of it.
I think being forced to Tip is illegal, a Tip is a kind gesture to say the service was great. if you didn't expect it to be anything great don't leave a tip
@bugattichiron8784 apparently in america you always tip because they don't get paid enough But as an American like why would we have to tip they already get paid from us
The key part of the tipping explanation is that it is not required in Australia because the staff are paid living wages. In the US, everyone gets tipped because THAT is their wage. Instead of "baking it into the prices," employers save big by passing along the staffing expense directly to the customers. The minimum wage for servers is mere dollars in most states, and that money is actually taken to pay taxes, so yeah, you absolutely must tip in America.
I don’t recommend that tourists travel the outback in a hire car. The animals in Australia are far less dangerous than people make out if you respect them but the hot dry outback if you brake down when driving is FAR more dangerous. Even more dangerous is ocean currents when swimming. Stay between the flags unless you are a strong swimmer, you know how to read the ocean and how to get out of a rip and you haven’t been drinking.
I went to Bondi beach on a new years day and it was 40 degrees. Thought it'd be a great day for a swim and the water was absolutely freezing. If you want a nice place to swim, go to the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast. Beautiful beaches and great water temperature. Always swim where its patrolled.
I’m a NSW person and I totally agree. QLD water temps are great. Victorian beaches - forget it. They are for professional surfers or parochial Victorians.
You could spend a month in Adelaide alone. That's their festival month is called mad march it's a cultural boom. Fringe arts and comedy festival, Womad festival, Adelaide festival. Plus some of the best wine and hill sights with all the key locations a train ride or 90min drive from the CBD
Just a note on the temperatures in winter... I think people underestimate how cold somewhere like Brisbane can get. True, not as much as the likes of Melbourne or Hobart, but some days can range from a minimum of 8c (occasionally less) to the early 20s, which might not sound like much compared with some others, but is still pretty chilly. Years ago, I was at college and a German student was complaining about how cold it was here one winter, not helped by the college not having any central heating. Or, if they did, they didn't use it.
Why does Adelaide never get a mention? We have some of the best wine regions in the world! Whether you head south to the southern vales or north to the barossa valley you will find world class wineries and plenty of great eateries and cafes. A little further north and we have the Flinders Ranges for 4 wheel driving and camping and south of Adelaide we have Kangaroo Island. There is so much to see and do and yet we don’t get a mention! Why???
I highly recommend that if you visit Melbourne do not forget to pack your umbrella and pack both summer and winter clothes as Melbourne is know to have 4 seasons in one day.
How much time do you need.. I have Lived in Aus my whole life and I still haven’t seen everything 😂 Come buy a van to live in and travel/stay for 2 years!!!
Hello there. I enjoy your videos and commentary. We seem to be very much oriented around the Northern hemisphere here. It's not often we hear much about Africa or Sth America. I read whatever history and non fiction I can find, but it's scarce. I'm glad you enjoy things here. I'll need to check out an Australian's reaction to Beunos Aires, La Paz, or Tierra del Fuego. 😀🇦🇺👍
Although this is a wonderful summary of Australia, in regards to the food part/hours of opening for restaurants really depends and varies. Especially in suburbs and the city, it's very common for restaurants to be open till 11 or even 1am. For reference I live in southern bne but I have visited both Mel and Syd and experience the same closing times
Very helpful video! Enjoyed it truely. You have reflected your outsider view very clearly- exactly what we need, i am not sure if an Australian born and raised within AU can summarize that good. ❤
Thank you so much for bringing all this information... As a student who wants to try for Australia for Masters, you videos are EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you!'❤❤❤
I want to go to those gold fields, I really want to bring my Harley and ride from Perth to Sydney. Would love to see the Botanical gardens in Sydney again.
Perth to Sydney is approx 4000klm, with a lot of barren country in between, part of which is the Nullarbor Plain, it is Latin for “no trees”. I am not quite sure where you come from, but Australia is about the same size as mainland USA. Please do your research, you would need to pick your time to do it. We are known for being a sunburnt country and what can be torrential downpours with little to no shelter, a trip from Perth to Sydney on a Harley would not be for the feint hearted.
Hi I’ve noticed that you haven’t talked to much about Adelaide or the Barossa Valley it’s Australia’s best wine region with many winery’s and you can book a tour that will take you to many different winer`s, we also have the largest car museum in Australia in the Adelaide hills, Birdwood Museum
You're right. I want to make a dedicated video for South Australia. I love the Barossa Valley, Mclaren, did a lot of SA in a van - unfortunately, we didn't have filming equipment then. But we'll be coming back soon, and make the video it deserves. Thanks :)
The distances between destinations in Australia are huge. I once had a person ask me how long it would take to ride a bike to Uluṟu. We were in Brisbane when they asked so I told them they would take a month but they would literally die. It would be like riding from Paris to Istanbul… through a desert. Fortunately anyone who tried this would still be in populated areas before they realised it is not a realistic goal.
What about wearing Fan T-Shirts of some of my favorite Music Bands, (i.e. Oi! Punk Rock Band T-Shirts like Last Resort, Rudimentary Peni, or The Reapers).
Just to be different, my grandfather and some other family members emigrated from Australia to Argentina. I wonder if that happened quite a lot - it was pre- WW1.
It happened a lot during those times. Not sure from Australia but yes from Europe - most of us in Argentina are descendants of European migrants. Similar migration process that happened in Aus
@@livingsimplyaustraliaJust out of curiosity , hypothetically I wonder IF you would/could do a video about advice on what to know before migrating from Australia to Argentina ( Or have it as an extra information at the end of an Australian info video ) ?

Have a question, Can a person get Jain or vegan or No onion No garlic food in Australia? And are pure veg restaurants common in Australia or is it too hard to find such?
Yes, lots of vegetarian or vegan options, especially in major cities and supermarkets. We cover that question in this video th-cam.com/video/jR5lBG1Myg4/w-d-xo.html
As an Indian who has visited Australia, I think Vegan is popular, but food without onion & garlic , hmmmm.... you would have to try the Indian restaurants. The ready to eat salads in stores like IGA , Coles and Aldi though, are very good . Miss those rocket leaves. 😊😊
Why? Do you die if you take onion or garlic? Taking your religious filth with you wherever you go. Your papa modi has brought in acche din and Amrit kal. Stay in India. Or better still, go live in Varanasi.
This video is awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Funny, I was going to search your channel to see if there was something about dating in Australia and I look to my right and see you posted something on that topic 5 months ago. Spooky - it's like you read my mind. :)
Sydney and the east coast is not Australia. Summer temps in Australia get much higher than 37C outside of Sydney. Adelaide gets up to over 45C at times - sometimes for a week or more and it gets even hotter and uch dryer in other parts of the country. If you are going to come to Australia in summer you need to be prepared for heat and sun you have probably never experienced. This is particularly true outside of the east coast or west of the Great Dividing Range. Some northern europeans without sun protection are likely to be sunburned to the extent of having blisters in a few hours in some parts of Australia. We had a group of about 100 europeans visit - not in the middle of summer and about 50% of them ended up with blisters from the sun over large parts of their bodies to the extent that some became casualties. I would suggest that unless you have lived or worked in a very hot, dry, arid region you don't visit Australia west of the Great Dividing range unless you are going with an organised group or with local friends - this is especially true outside of towns and cities. People - tourists esepcailly - die in that area of Australia because the conditions are beyond their imagination or experience - it's not jsut the heat, its the lack of water, lack of shade and lack of people. Like you might not see another person for months.
How much time do you need.. I have Lived in Aus my whole life and I still haven’t seen everything 😂 Come buy a van to live in and travel/stay for 2 years!!! AND BRING A WIDE BRIMMED HAT + sunscreen
Can anyone tell me if there's a region/city in Australia that isn’t inundated with snake's and spiders? I was thinking Perth sounded lovely but then read that there are still a lot of snakes, even in the city! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I so want to visit!
I've lived here for over 60 years and have seen lots in that time but honestly, you don't have to worry about them. They are probably more scared of you. I've only been bitten by a snake once but that was because I stood on it accidentally. Don't walk through long grass and you'll be fine. I think the best place to live is on the coast between northern NSW to south east Queensland. Absolutely the best weather. As far as visiting, anywhere in Australia is good, including Perth. Sydney is probably my favourite capital city. Lots to do and see. Best beaches are between Bargara and the Gold Coast on the east coastline of Australia.
I love Australia & may be one of the best in the world. But like all places, though cases may be few, one of my relative had his brand new Car, broken into & laptop was stolen while he parked in an authorised parking area. Cases were filed, but it seems it is very difficult to trace these devices as they get immediately dismantled & smuggled out of the country. Such things must be imediately addressed so that such crimes do not increase. But I will be visiting Australia this year & very excited to see the outback!
There's no running water and your waste gets dropped through a hatch into a pit below. There's no flush. There Will be running water to wash your hands but generally it's not drinkable. They may or may not provide toilet paper, so take your own but make sure it's not chemically treated and nothing non-biodegradeable can be put down them (sanitary napkins, wipes, nappies etc).
Yes but it’s not common. I’ve lived here in various parts of Australia for 61 years and never had a snake come into any of our houses. But it does happen. Had a few in our yard though. Don’t leave doors open. Don’t try and kill them (which is illegal anyhow and the cause of most bites). The most dangerous spider, funnel web, is mainly around Sydney and surrounds. They don’t tend to come into the house but will be in the garden so just wear gloves when gardening. This thing about Australia being dangerous is a fallacy. Personally I think Africa, North and South America and Asia have far more dangerous animals than Australia.
I have lived in a rural area of southeastern Australia for over 10 years. I have only seen maybe 4-5 snakes in that time (half of them dead/roadkill, and the other half only in forests far away from human habitation). They are definitely around, but they are very afraid of humans. If you make some noise while you walk around, they will hear you before you ever see them and get out of your way. Large spiders (huntsman spiders) are extremely common here, though. They are not dangerous, but they do look scary. I occasionally see the Australian black widow (locally known as the redback spider), but they are not nearly as dangerous as American black widows. In the last 60 years, only one person has died from a redback bite. The most dangerous animals around here, by far, are kangaroos because they often jump in front of moving cars. You want to be very careful driving at dawn and at dusk. In other parts of the country, you may need to be wary of crocodiles and funnelweb spiders.
Cane toads were a bigger problem in the early days. Highly toxic but over the years crows have learnt to flip them over on the back and kill them. We have a spider we call daddy long legs apparently very venomous but it's fangs aren't strong enough for humans. I grew up on the beach sharks and blue bottles were the hazard. But at a place called the spit on the gold coast there is a bush area and certain times of the year people find eastern brown snakes hiding in their beach towels.
@@halleyorion we did have a lot of kangaroo but as development took over they all ended up as roadkill. I would go and feed my horse and would see them on the road. Same with koala. All gone.
@Swolesauce96 if you don't want to tip, just don't sit down in a restaurant. The price you pay for your food is lower priced to compensate for underpaying the staff. Just don't go out if you aren't going to respect the server.
Absolutely beautiful and in some parts wild and free. But omg how expensive can a country be and still attracts tourists in droves. Do not expect snakes or people eating spiders to jump out of every Bush. I went in 05 06 and 07 and the cost between 05 and 07 was astronomical and all these years later it's not changed.
Melbourne is great for swimming. Port Phillip Bay is excellent I love it. It is usually too cold in winter but from October to April it is great. I disagree strongly about what you have said here. Clearly you don’t like this bay so you ignored it. Not everyone agrees with your opinion
Like many aboriginal landmarks Ayers Rock wasn't considered "sacred" until they realised it was worth tourist dollars, dont get caught in tourist traps and politics when visiting. That said, enjoy your holiday and have fun 🙂👍
Ma'am I really need of very little help i will return to you after 1 year i have seen your videos you are very down to earth personality please do a very little help ma'am 🙏 i always owe to you
1) nobody tells you that on a green light when driving your car the pedestrians are also crossing at the exact same time....on the same green light!....no clue why this is a thing. I nearly killed someone in Melbourne taking a left turn.
here are 10 small tips to any US citizen that wants to visit Australia. 1. leave your attitude along with your guns at the departure lounge. 2. don't panic! it will be there waiting for you when you get back, we don't want it. 3. you cannot buy a gun here as easily as you can in the US, nor carry a gun over here, this is not the wild west as it is in the USA. 4. enjoy the sites the food and the different cultures. 5. Australia has a culture, they have song, dance and food and we are proud of it. 6. The US has, Levi's jeans, McDonalds, mass shootings, guns and bombs and you are proud of it? 7. take lots of photos, buy the occasional souvenir. 8. when you get back to the US "the home of the brave and the free," pick up your gun and your attitude, you will notice it is still there intact as you left it. 9. Show your friends the photos and tell them you had a nice time. 10. Oh and don't forget to tell your friends you experienced real freedom for the first time in your life not having to carry a gun!
Nice revue, However, please hold your hands still. Very disturbing. after a couple of minutes, I just watched them and not your beautiful face., ha ha!
Australia = beaches,sport, million dollar homes ,and boredom, unfriendly people, loneliness,no history or culture also wasting money on endless crap in shops.

Have a question, Can a person get Jain or vegan or No onion No garlic food in Australia? And are pure veg restaurants common in Australia or is it too hard to find such?
Yes, lots of vegetarian or vegan options, especially in major cities and supermarkets. We cover that question in this video th-cam.com/video/jR5lBG1Myg4/w-d-xo.html
Yes . I like indian food. Plenty of take away. You can request to your liking.
Salad only bars . Muslim friendly food.
Vegan is popular.
As an Indian who has visited Australia, I think Vegan is popular, but food without onion & garlic , hmmmm.... you would have to try the Indian restaurants. The ready to eat salads in stores like IGA , Coles and Aldi though, are very good . Miss those rocket leaves. 😊😊
Why? Do you die if you take onion or garlic? Taking your religious filth with you wherever you go. Your papa modi has brought in acche din and Amrit kal. Stay in India. Or better still, go live in Varanasi.
You encourage to go to live in Australia 🙌🏻
Before, find out the the prices for homes.
I lived in Riverwood 19xx and worked in Caringbah that was an act.
very helpful, thankyou
This video is awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Funny, I was going to search your channel to see if there was something about dating in Australia and I look to my right and see you posted something on that topic 5 months ago. Spooky - it's like you read my mind. :)
Sydney and the east coast is not Australia. Summer temps in Australia get much higher than 37C outside of Sydney. Adelaide gets up to over 45C at times - sometimes for a week or more and it gets even hotter and uch dryer in other parts of the country.
If you are going to come to Australia in summer you need to be prepared for heat and sun you have probably never experienced. This is particularly true outside of the east coast or west of the Great Dividing Range.
Some northern europeans without sun protection are likely to be sunburned to the extent of having blisters in a few hours in some parts of Australia. We had a group of about 100 europeans visit - not in the middle of summer and about 50% of them ended up with blisters from the sun over large parts of their bodies to the extent that some became casualties.
I would suggest that unless you have lived or worked in a very hot, dry, arid region you don't visit Australia west of the Great Dividing range unless you are going with an organised group or with local friends - this is especially true outside of towns and cities.
People - tourists esepcailly - die in that area of Australia because the conditions are beyond their imagination or experience - it's not jsut the heat, its the lack of water, lack of shade and lack of people. Like you might not see another person for months.
Hi Martina.
As a Nigerian staying and schooling in India, i wish to relocate and settle in Australia
Any guide?
Hi can you refer a book which includes Aussie culture, history and and important dates
Good luck with that one !
How much time do you need.. I have Lived in Aus my whole life and I still haven’t seen everything 😂
Come buy a van to live in and travel/stay for 2 years!!!
AND BRING A WIDE BRIMMED HAT + sunscreen
I've lived in Europe for 90 years and seen a fraction even though travelled more than most Europeans.
The picture of the snake in the toilet scared the crap out of me.
Well..that's what you go to bathroom for, right?😂
Lived in Australia 68 years and have never seen a snake in a toilet. A frog maybe but not a snake
Can anyone tell me if there's a region/city in Australia that isn’t inundated with snake's and spiders? I was thinking Perth sounded lovely but then read that there are still a lot of snakes, even in the city! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I so want to visit!
I've lived here for over 60 years and have seen lots in that time but honestly, you don't have to worry about them. They are probably more scared of you. I've only been bitten by a snake once but that was because I stood on it accidentally. Don't walk through long grass and you'll be fine.
I think the best place to live is on the coast between northern NSW to south east Queensland. Absolutely the best weather. As far as visiting, anywhere in Australia is good, including Perth. Sydney is probably my favourite capital city. Lots to do and see.
Best beaches are between Bargara and the Gold Coast on the east coastline of Australia.
@@oldchev2850 you reply is very helpful and deeply appreciated. Thank you so much!🧡
@@agapenotaryservice9989 No worries 👍
At 11:43. I thought I saw George Clooney having dinner with his daughters. :-)
I loved coffs Harbour Brisbane
You look amazing in this blue color dress
Good videos 👍🏻
I love Australia & may be one of the best in the world. But like all places, though cases may be few, one of my relative had his brand new Car, broken into & laptop was stolen while he parked in an authorised parking area. Cases were filed, but it seems it is very difficult to trace these devices as they get immediately dismantled & smuggled out of the country. Such things must be imediately addressed so that such crimes do not increase. But I will be visiting Australia this year & very excited to see the outback!
Don't ever leave valuable items visible in a parked car.
what is dry toilet ?
There's no running water and your waste gets dropped through a hatch into a pit below. There's no flush. There Will be running water to wash your hands but generally it's not drinkable. They may or may not provide toilet paper, so take your own but make sure it's not chemically treated and nothing non-biodegradeable can be put down them (sanitary napkins, wipes, nappies etc).
What is dry toilet?😬
I want to ask I have heard huge spiders, insects and animals come to homes and its common in australia? Is that true?
Yes but it’s not common. I’ve lived here in various parts of Australia for 61 years and never had a snake come into any of our houses. But it does happen. Had a few in our yard though. Don’t leave doors open. Don’t try and kill them (which is illegal anyhow and the cause of most bites). The most dangerous spider, funnel web, is mainly around Sydney and surrounds. They don’t tend to come into the house but will be in the garden so just wear gloves when gardening. This thing about Australia being dangerous is a fallacy. Personally I think Africa, North and South America and Asia have far more dangerous animals than Australia.
Yes. Doors shut or snakes get in and people have found them under the pillow. It's a hostile environment outside the cities.
I have lived in a rural area of southeastern Australia for over 10 years.
I have only seen maybe 4-5 snakes in that time (half of them dead/roadkill, and the other half only in forests far away from human habitation). They are definitely around, but they are very afraid of humans. If you make some noise while you walk around, they will hear you before you ever see them and get out of your way.
Large spiders (huntsman spiders) are extremely common here, though. They are not dangerous, but they do look scary.
I occasionally see the Australian black widow (locally known as the redback spider), but they are not nearly as dangerous as American black widows. In the last 60 years, only one person has died from a redback bite.
The most dangerous animals around here, by far, are kangaroos because they often jump in front of moving cars. You want to be very careful driving at dawn and at dusk.
In other parts of the country, you may need to be wary of crocodiles and funnelweb spiders.
Cane toads were a bigger problem in the early days. Highly toxic but over the years crows have learnt to flip them over on the back and kill them. We have a spider we call daddy long legs apparently very venomous but it's fangs aren't strong enough for humans. I grew up on the beach sharks and blue bottles were the hazard. But at a place called the spit on the gold coast there is a bush area and certain times of the year people find eastern brown snakes hiding in their beach towels.
@@halleyorion we did have a lot of kangaroo but as development took over they all ended up as roadkill. I would go and feed my horse and would see them on the road. Same with koala. All gone.
And of course, Australian women are another reason to visit australia.
The tipping in US needs to stop… this is getting super ridiculous…
Just don’t tip. Its not my fault they’re poor🤷🏼♂️
@Swolesauce96 if you don't want to tip, just don't sit down in a restaurant. The price you pay for your food is lower priced to compensate for underpaying the staff. Just don't go out if you aren't going to respect the server.
@@cbpd89 I am one 😂
@@cbpd89the issue comes that people who ARENT servers are asking for tips, like a Starbucks or McDonald’s.
Australia Nepal ❤❤❤
Malaysia truley Malingsia
I like how Australia has less people. Too much people kinda sucks.
Brasil 🇧🇷 ❤
Absolutely beautiful and in some parts wild and free. But omg how expensive can a country be and still attracts tourists in droves.
Do not expect snakes or people eating spiders to jump out of every Bush. I went in 05 06 and 07 and the cost between 05 and 07 was astronomical and all these years later it's not changed.
Nice
where did you originally come from?
Melbourne is great for swimming. Port Phillip Bay is excellent I love it. It is usually too cold in winter but from October to April it is great. I disagree strongly about what you have said here. Clearly you don’t like this bay so you ignored it. Not everyone agrees with your opinion
How about night life
Like many aboriginal landmarks Ayers Rock wasn't considered "sacred" until they realised it was worth tourist dollars, dont get caught in tourist traps and politics when visiting. That said, enjoy your holiday and have fun 🙂👍
If you don't know how to drive on the LEFT HAND SIDE of the road DON'T DRIVE.
Hi mam, Im a Renal Dialysis Technician completed skill assessment and PTE. Kindly help me to get a job over there pls..
💛
Don’t tip. If service is included in the bill, don’t tip. The salaries in Australia are ok.
There are No snakes in the toilet ok!!!!!!😮

Dont' risk it, we shoot our own here
Hello sister ❤ u speak spainish
1) nobody tells you that on a green light when driving your car the pedestrians are also crossing at the exact same time....on the same green light!....no clue why this is a thing. I nearly killed someone in Melbourne taking a left turn.
we need tradie of all kind and if immigration gives you a hard time
'ask why we are letting in so many economic rent seeker immigrants"
'
ask who ? lol no onw will even hear you asking. they send you the refusal by email .. 😃
Because every toilet in Australia has a king brown in it😂
You won’t see the real Australia. That ended about 20 years ago. It’s gone.
And what exactly did happen with real Australia? What did happen in 2004?
Please helpe me
here are 10 small tips to any US citizen that wants to visit Australia.
1. leave your attitude along with your guns at the departure lounge.
2. don't panic! it will be there waiting for you when you get back, we don't want it.
3. you cannot buy a gun here as easily as you can in the US, nor carry a gun over here, this is not the wild west as it is in the USA.
4. enjoy the sites the food and the different cultures.
5. Australia has a culture, they have song, dance and food and we are proud of it.
6. The US has, Levi's jeans, McDonalds, mass shootings, guns and bombs and you are proud of it?
7. take lots of photos, buy the occasional souvenir.
8. when you get back to the US "the home of the brave and the free," pick up your gun and your attitude, you will notice it is still there intact as you left it.
9. Show your friends the photos and tell them you had a nice time.
10. Oh and don't forget to tell your friends you experienced real freedom for the first time in your life not having to carry a gun!
Bit smug aren't you mate?
@@lyncanning4849 how so? I think it is very accurate. feel free to tell me if you disagree.
I do not recommend living in Australia at all!
Nice revue, However, please hold your hands still. Very disturbing. after a couple of minutes, I just watched them and not your beautiful face., ha ha!
Australia = beaches,sport, million dollar homes ,and boredom, unfriendly people, loneliness,no history or culture also wasting money on endless crap in shops.
DAMN savage! Where you from?🥹🥹
