Every US citizen I have ever met that had been to Australia without the "Merican" attitude literally LOVED Australia. Loved the video. TY for sharing it with the world.
I mean most Americans love Australia and love the people there, certainly more so than the uk. I feel like Aussie's think we have some deep rooted suspicion of them or something but ive never even met anyone that hasn't said something positive about Australia. I also think you guys are pretty similar to us in the sense of patriotism and being proud of where your from, and im all for that.
@@Jklopoppcorn most Americans I've met have been great people. I think in alot of ways we are quite similar. Australians are probably a bit more laid back. It's not that we don't care we just don't get as stressed about stuff.
My dad saw American tourists shopping in Hobart in the 1960s. He said they were so rude that the cashier looked them in the eye as she tore up the US banknotes she was handed. No sale.
Loved watching a video of where you guys are in the Sunshine Coast my grandparents live in Noosa (in Sunshine Coast) and I’m in Victoria and we are in Stage 4 lockdown and I miss them a lot. So thanks so much for reminding me of the amazing sunny coast.
I live on the sunshine coast (Buderim) and its so nice to see it through a tourists perspective. Mooloolaba looks so nice! Thanks for sharing your visit
Kookaburra is pronounce like "cook" (the "oo" is like look, not moo) then it's Burra not Barra, like baa like a sheep just short. Baa-ra (short vowels not long, burra) Cook-a-burra
Oh custard apples take me back. My grandmother grew them as well as Chockos and fruit salad plants. We all refused to eat them for various reasons. Now I wish I had tried them.
The Sunshine Coast is so beautiful and underrated. It runs circles around the Gold Coast. Sunny Coast is much more peaceful and less cosmopolitan; more modest... :) ;)
The Sunshine Coast is for old folk or relaxing. The Gold Coast is for young folk partying or other excitement. Totally different in most respects but both have great beaches and hinterland. Not really comparable for the most part.
Naw, the Alex Surf Club is about a 2 min walk from my grandparents house. Because of travel restrictions I can’t get up there to see them, so this made me ache for them! Glad you seemed to love the beautiful Sunny Coast, one of my favourite places in the world x
That kookaburra bit really reminds me of my Nan. Everyday the kookaburras would line up on the balcony railing and you tossed balls of mince in the air for them and they would gobble it up. My favourite aussie bird.
Cook named the Glasshouse Mountains, and he also named the entire East Coast "New South Wales". So its not Queensland, it is still New South Wales as far as Cook is concerned.

Sunshine Coast, the best part of the best state in Australia. And of course the best country in the world! I'm not biased either :P :D And of course NO CV19 here either!
Custard apple. A tropical fruit, texture a bit like mango or rockmelon, flavour is custard-like. I don't know where the apple part of the name comes from. They're not native to Australia but grow very well in the subtropics.
@@HappyHoppe there's different types of coffee. If you don't like it too strong, try having a latte with some flavouring like hazelnut or caramel or a flat white. Although to clarify when we say coffee we mean hot drinks and not frappes.
So cringeworthy, most Australians don't talk that way I've realised. It's just for the tourist's. And sue don't feed kookaburras. They will become reliant on you. FFS.

Shame Australia is finished now
It’s lovely seeing my home town through the eyes of a tourist.
I was just thinking that. From Cooroy
I know right
Me too
Same
Fights have broken out in families and friends over Crackling. Pity i'm from down south in Victoria.
😂
Im from victoria too
Yes sir that is a pity.
Pity I'm from down south in Tasmania. :')
I love it when kookaburras come to visit 😁 our nan used to feed them meat as well

Happy Hoppe you guys are amazing! Thanks so much for making me and many others smile.
5 months later and you guys are still restricted.
That's so cool that you went up to Wild Horse Lookout! That's my favourite spot to see the Glasshouse Mountains, the sunset backdrop is so awesome.
Yeah, it was really pretty! :)
i live in melbourne and i have a few kookaburras living in my backyard. so friendly they are!
Wait so Americans don't eat roast pork with crackling?
I had never had it before 🤷♀️ I loved it!!!
Love the crackling, its the best part😍😍😍😍
Wtf.... seriously
I too am mortified that they don't eat crackling...wtf? lol :-O

So glad you guys had a great time...hope you come back again soon. 🤩🤪😜
Thanks 😊
So sorry you missed the pademelons in the Mary Cairncross Reserve. Such a lovely walk on the boardwalk path.

Are used to think the big pineapple it was so big when I was a kid.
Remember when you used to go up in it? could climb inside the big pineapple.
omg soooo good to see Mooloolaba on ur video arhhhh making me miss home
I have an American friend whose parents are Jamaican. She knows the custard apple and a few things related to it.
You've got to come again and do a segment on the South Coast, South of Brisbane. Glad you are enjoying yourselves and the Australian scenery.
If you mean the Gold Coast, they have done a video there. :)
South Coast of nsw is also a must!
G'day from Sydney, Australia! Fun fact: the kookaburra has a couple of nicknames; the bushman's alarm clock and the laughing jackass!
I remember as a kid watching an American movie and they had a kookaburra on it
Yes l love surfers paradise my daughter lives in Brisbane and I find any excuse to go and see her cheers 😹🙂🤣
You Merican, why cause of the accent, no caused ya asked bout crackling, most genuine Aussie line of questioning I’ve have heard yet
😂 I had never heard of crackling before, but it is So yummy!!
@@HappyHoppe it’s even better when you put raw sugar in the skin to sweeten it up causing a candy apple like skin
Good on ya Ron. Teaching AFL and not the bum sniffer code😂 AFL is our game and the biggest game in the land!!!! Truly Australian!
Good on you Ron. Proper footy.

It’s 100% not a real Australian experience if staying with religious people. We’re Atheists predominantly and Church is considered for wierdos..
Glasshouse Mountains Lookout... my mum’s ashes were scattered there
I love our white sand beaches, absolutely beautiful. I also live on the beach, wouldnt trade it.
That’s awesome that you live on the beach!
Malloolaba is cool ,two minutes up the road is Maroochydore, best place in the world,where I live.
No. Gold Coast is best. Lol.
Custard Apples are actually originally native to the Americas.
What!?! Did not know that! 😯
live up in maleny that my view from my place probably 5 mins away from The Mary Cairncross Reserve park love it
I Grew up there 😄
I’m a bit late but just have to mention pork crackling. WTAF. How can you not have it?
..."where we are go in to spend the night for TWO NIGHTS..." LMAO...So American !!! LOL 😂 😆 🤣
I hope they did Outback NT in their trip. Just to flavour their pallet and see some Roos.
We did not, where is good to go in the outback?

I'm Australian and I've never even seen a custard apple 😂
😂It was delicious 😋
There pretty common up here in Cairns
They're great. Growing wild in my backyard in Brisbane. ☺️
I love Custard Apples. I buy them in Melbourne.
@@Burtifly I live in Brisbane 😊
Gotta say, never seen someone eat custard apple with anything but their hands 😅
😂 that's funny! It sounded like a dessert you should eat with a utensil!
Hi man and girl HA HA! 😆
And also what’s a cookabear It’s a kookaburra I know it because I’m Aussie
You have to try snot block
Mooloolaba - My home town!
Its Mooloolaba, not Mooloolababa black sheep, "..'ave yer gots any wool?" You've put an extra Ba in. I know that and I am Victorian, shame on you.
Brilliant!.

What the f**k have they done to Mary Cairncross Park??? I guess I did leave Maleny in ‘96 as a 10 year old
Finally our turn
Good on Ron for teaching you REAL Australian football...
Aussie Rules 👌
😂 yeah, he was so great 😃 wanting to make sure we got educated on how to say Australian slang, sports, etc! We loved it 😊

Ye i didn't get why Queenslanders living in the Sunshine Coast are rabid AFL fans ..... I bet they are Victorian transplants.

That’s an amazing love story ❤️ no, we just visited Australia on our year trip around the world in 2018
Oh dear. Charismatics.

Watch out fot the Drop Bears.

I hope you had apple sauce with the roast pork and crackling. :p~~
I don’t think we did! That sounds delicious though! I guess we need to come back 😂 that crackling was DELICIOUS 🤤 😋 🥓

I'm sorry, but i the way Americans say tomato is just so strange to me since I'm Australian
What sad country must you live in, to not know and love roasted pork crackling?
