No need to be scared of grey kangaroos, just don't mess with the male red kangaroos.
The roos love the golf courses because there is an endless supply of green shoots, shade & water. It's a kind of symbiotic relationship with humans too, golfers are interested in the game, not them, so it's like a resort to them. Yep the big one is the Daddy 🤣
Wow it is amazing what we take for granted in our own countries good to see a response like that makes you appreciate what we do have cheers mate 😎
Americans love Australia it's a cool casual family orientated gigantic natural and environmental wonder world, from beach to bush, snow to dessert, every culture race 9r religion your BOUND to enjoy it.
Actually those guys on the golf course are Eastern Grey Wallabys. There are four main species kangaroos and quite a lot of sub-species. Also, there are over 100 Taco bell stores in Australia so not sure what the 'first' thing was all about.
I loved that you loved Brisbane, Queensland and our wild animals so much 😀. Hope you come back one day.
We sure did ❤️
Colloquial pronunciation of Australian capitals, Brisbun, Sidnee, Melbun, Hobart, Adelaid, Perth, Darwin or maybe a bit like Darwun .
Then there are hundreds of places in Australia with Aboriginal names like, Oodnadatta, Waddamanna, Moodiarrup, Gnowangerup, Woomargamah, of course if you don't live in those places even Australians can bugger up their pronunciation.
Love, love, love your videos. Being Australian, I get a kick out of seeing how Americans react when they first visit these shores. Thanks for sharing your videos. So much has happened since you were here. I hope you are both safe and healthy. Take care, and come back to Australia soon.
So glad you are enjoying our videos from our 1 year world trip 🌍😍 thankful we traveled when we did!
I love sharing Kangaroos and Koalas with my American friends for the first time! 😂 The reactions are priceless!! Glad you guys got to enjoy meeting an Aussie icon!! Keep it up!!
😂 yeah, we were pretty excited 🎉 🇦🇺 ❤️
That Taco Bell location is the second iteration in Aus. Original Taco Bell failed in Aus over 20 years ago. At one stage they literally shared external restaurant space with KFC! Kinda weird driving past split KFC/Taco Bell restaurants. I remember those as a young teen!
yep, 80's and 2000's this is the 3rd go. this time its run by Collins Food Group (they own a lot of KFC and Sizzlers) , and not run by Pepsi/Taco Bell US like in the past
Yeah, I remember the ones in the early 2000s. You could get a meal deal, that was half KFC and half Taco Bell. It was awesome!
Kangaroos Rock! They are so wierd. But this might make your yanks laugh. My wife and I ended up living in Kansas for work and we nearly crashed the car when we saw Turkey's running through a Field. I had no idea these things actually lived in the "wild". So we are not that different after all!
😂 that’s awesome 👏
Fun fact: that was the very first Taco Bell in Australia. When it opened in 2016 or 17, people were flying from interstate just to eat there, and for a good 6 months you couldn't get in the door without lining up around the block
We were there March 2018 and they said it was their opening week 🤷♀️ it was definitely a really nice Taco Bell! 🌮 🔔
That was NOT the first Taco Bell in Australia. they have been in Austalia twice, once in the 80's and again in 2000 and left a couple of years later, this is the 3rd time (2019ish) to come to Australia, and that would the first store of the latest attempt.
What a fabulous project! A year-long trip around the world. I had an international sales job for a couple of years and I got to travel through Asia and Europe. That travel was the best thing for improving my tolerance for things in my home country Australia No matter how annoying things might be back home, travel teaches us that despite everything home is still pretty good You two have such a positive attitude to everything. And as another commenter has said we should call Lisa COVID- her excitement after almost a year of seeing new things daily is infectious. How could anyone have a bad day with her around? Thank you so much
Yeah, travel definitely opens your eyes and makes home that much better :) we sure were thankful to take a year to travel!!
There were some days when I wasn’t as energetic, but for the most part, I was definitely energized by seeing new places and trying new foods and meeting new people 💕 🌍
So cool to see you having such a great time! Seem like such a nice couple, always welcome...😀
😍 thanks 😊
@@HappyHoppe just curious, but what's your plans after the year is up? I imagine it will be super hard to settle back into normal life after this trip? xx
You were in Ipswich thats my home town. Gails golf course always has heaps of kangaroos roaming around.
and the back roads of the prisons always have a heap of roos.
Yay for Brissie!! So glad you guys enjoyed our little "country town" No better place on earth to live! You are welcome back anytime! Loving all your videos. QUEENSLANDER!!!
Thanks!! Glad you are enjoying our videos :)
those roo's would clear that fence easily
drive through out back old and hit one with your car and then you wont be that happy to see a roo lol
What you guys saw were grey roos and a little smaller than the big red roos, which you'd see further up north. Glad you are both enjoying our country.
Thanks 😊
Kangaroos vastly outnumber humans in Australia (2 kangaroos for every person) but koalas are pretty hard to come by in the wild since they're functionally extinct from a lot of areas, I've only ever seen a handful in the wild in my life.
That might be the case where you're from, but I live in Victoria and they are still alive and well in many state/national parks and in between. I've seen and heard hundreds in the wild, at least 10 in the past 6 months, so they're still around it just depends on where you live and how much time you've spent in the bush. I agree they're functionally extinct in many areas as well, at the moment they and so many native animals/plants are on the decline it's a real shame.
I’m Australian and age 32. In my whole life, I’ve seen ONE koala in the wild. They are extremely rare to see in the wild.
😳 yeah, we went to Lone Pine to see them and that was awesome 🐨
Happy Hoppe - John Travolta was at Lone Pine a couple years ago - hope u two enjoyed it
We have lots of them on our property. Not far from the suburbs.
@@CMaiers. You must not get out much. Koalas are everywhere.
You guys are so cute. I’m becoming obsessed and am going to have to binge watch from the beginning x
Yay! 🥳 glad you’re liking them! If you’d like, here is the order of our trip playlist that will play them one after the other automatically: th-cam.com/play/PLPHEqKWkXSm3CElx3oy5xdgYcrd8Wdqnf.html
Letting u know the east coast and the south coast is the BEST u should do a road trip
South Stradbroke island there are Kangaroos you can get close to and pat them, they are very tame there.
I have been to that lookout , and it was such a lovely day for you there
It really was!
Oh my goodness I love the kangaroos 🦘 so much!! They are so cute!
You guys have to check out the golf coarse that has sharks in the water hazard. You guys are fun. T
Oh no 😲 that's a hard pass from me 😂
Don't turn your lights off with an approaching kangaroo. They're like most wildlife, they're a bit unpredictable when caught in the headlights. Just slow down. Watch if they're on the side of a road. Sometimes they'll dash across the road instead of heading in the opposite direction
They are not red kangaroos they are huge , their just local kids !
Brisbane I loved you so much I went to an American fast food chain.
To be honest when we first arrived in Australia we expected to see lots of snakes and spiders but we have only seen about half a dozen snakes in over 12 years and only about half were poisonous, seen a fair few red-back spiders but they really aren't that bad. So pleased you got to see Kangaroos in the wild, beautiful animal. Sorry you aren't in Queensland longer as we live in a really beautiful state with lots to see.......
That’s good there’s not as many critters as you thought! We loved our short time in Queensland! Always more to explore 🎉❤️🇦🇺
My husband was put in hospital from a red back bite and had to have two lots of antivenin. They are most deadly during breeding season around January
Seen roos hopping 10 metres at a time in one hop.
sunshine coast beaches are better then gold coast beaches
if you had of gone to a wildlife park you would've been able to pet and feed some kangaroos and get some selfies with them. the roos at wildlife parks are chill and used to people.
😍 we later go to Lone Pine and pet the kangaroos 🦘🥳❤️
It makes us aussies happy that you both had a great time, how cute are the koalas and kangaroos 😀
Oh good 😂 yes, we loved the koalas and roos (see I wrote Roos, because I’m trying to speak Aussie 😆)
@@HappyHoppe 😂
@@HappyHoppe we do call them roos or 'those dam bloody things'
Roos are OK I suppose but they can be pretty chewy if you don't know how to cook them. One recipe calls for boiling them all day in a pot with an old boot and then you throw the Roo away and eat the old boot.
You were in Brizzie ! … the affectionate name for Brisbane. :)
😂 that’s awesome! We learned that Australians shorten everything 😆
The big ones could be daddy and daddy's get pretty big. They can lean back and gouge you stomach with their hind leg if they get agro
😳
i,m aussie so the only one thing that surprised me was the pay phone wtf if u ever see a big red roo those things r massive balls of muscle
I can't believe you came to Gailes golf course to see roos. My mother in law Foster's kangaroo Joey's. She has about 40 show up to her back veranda every afternoon. She constantly has babies in the house.
😳 🤩 foster kangaroos?? 🦘 that is amazing!
I’m actually allergic to most animals with fur, but I would totally love to take care of kangaroos- they are amazing 😍
@@HappyHoppe yeah😀she raises the orphans after their mother has been killed or rejects them . Usually it's a case of them being hit by cars or trucks sadly. My girlfriend and I binge watched your channel for a few hours. Sorry go so caught up I forgot to like individual videos but will go back and do so. She has lived in America for about 8 to 9 months in total but I haven't been yet.really glad you guys enjoyed your time here and we really enjoyed your videos . The golf course you were at is not far from where we live so we were like wow. There's our RSL and there's the train station ect. Goodna is considered to be a bit ghetto but it's really not too bad
The road fences are so needed. Unfortunately, kangas are really dumb with road sense. I've seen more road kill than in the wild. I love overseas extremely enthusiasm with kangas and koalas (not bears). It's kinda cute! ;-)
😂 glad we could provide some entertainment! I still am giddy thinking about the kangaroos and koalas we got to see 😊
You Got it Brisben yeaaaaaa!!!
Yeaaa! 😂
Taco Bill's has been a thing in Melbourne for decades
taco bills have, yes, but not an actual American Taco Bell
They hop not walk lol and yes their tails balance them especially when the males stand up to battle each other.
Kangaroos can use their tails to strike at U with their legs... Can cause serious injury as they aim for the guts
😳
I actually watched a koala run along the ground from one tree to another while playing on that very golf course you saw all the kangaroos!
No, really!?!? What time code? I can’t believe I missed it!
@@HappyHoppe oh sorry, i meant while I was playing golf there a while back ⛳🏌️♂️
@@HappyHoppe Some areas get so overpopulated with koalas that they start killing the trees, so are easy to find and see, but normally it's hard even for locals to see koalas in the wild even if they are common in the area.
During the day they're usually asleep way up on the top of tall trees, and because they snuggle up to the trunk and are grey, you could be looking right at one and still not see it.
They are also quite specific about what trees they feed from, so unless you know what trees they like in a particular area, you can waste your time looking up at the wrong trees.
The best views I've had of koalas is when I've taken a spotlight out at night where koalas are common with lots of their favourite trees.
Visitors like you might be best off and save some time by ringing up some national park rangers who would know the best places to look in the local area.
Is statue bro!
4:53 that not a mamma, that the bull roo. probably the pack leader
and wombats are very hard to kill when i was 16 i went out shooting with a 303 and we saw a wombat with mange and we needed to put it out of his misery cause he was sick but it took 10 to 12 shots too kill it!!!!!!
Its not the first taco bell in australia. Taco bell was here in australia years ago and then closed down and left the country.
Brisbane and Perth are the best cities to live in Australia, in my opinion
We didn’t get a chance to visit Perth! We would love to! What do you love about Perth?
Happy Hoppe it’s very chill, small and clean, all the beaches are amazing! But tbh If your coming for a holiday to Perth I would have to recommend hiring a car because there isn’t as much touristy stuff and the whole WA coastline is Beautiful From Esperance to Broome
Windy fly blown.the reason not many people live in western Australia is it's a shit hole
Get ya facts write before making assumptions about my country
Adelaide is the best.
Welcome to my city
We loved Brisbane ❤️🎉
Koalas are at Maggie
If you think they're cute to see, wait until you eat one. Done right they are delish.
two syllables for every Australia world ....if the word has one syllable, them make it two syllables, if the word has three syllables, then make it two syllables
😂
adrtho Anything for Kangaroo? :-)
@@estellemelodimitchell8259 Kangaroos are just simply roos :)
That's not a muma...it's a papa!!
Yup 🤪😂
I wonder is this girl knows she’s dating McLovin.
That big kangaroo is a buk
Kangaroo steak is nice 2.🤭
We had kangaroo meat in Sydney- it was very tasty!
Careful guys, you can get fined for using a phone in the car
This was filmed 2 years ago :)
I don't know when this video was shot, but there is now also a Taco Bell in Melbourne.
Good to know!! This video was from March 2018!
We’re making a video for every day of our 1 year world trip and got very behind because we lost 70+ days of footage when our hard drive crashed 😢
we tried for months to unsuccessfully recover it.
Then we recreated the lost episodes with my husband’s, Peter’s, photos and our stories.
It was in the process of a backup when the hard drive crashed, so it was the middle of the trip we lost, but thankful we kept our Australia footage :)
We had many Taco Bell in Sydney a long time ago but they did not survive.
Cooth ah or cooTHAH. Not cootah
Pronunciation is actually coo tah
@@phoarey say it like the locals. Just like how we pronounce brizbin and not brizBAYNE.
@@trbl-ycvu5252 this maybe true, but if you talk to Aboriginal elders and how they pronounce it, that is more correct to say "coot-t-tha".
@@bealong8718 I'll start when ppl start saying BrisBANE instead of BrisBIN
we all know neil armstrong didnt land on the moon in 1969 like everyone thinks every knows it was done in a studio!!!!!!!
Nathan I'm gunna give it to you straight up,your a moron
And don't insult intelligence people, that were alive before you learnt to wipe you're ass.
Pronounce Brisbane as Brisbin
Yup, didn’t Brian teach it to me correctly on this day?
Brisbin or Brisben, either way just no BANE!
Happy Hoppe absolutely spot on!! But a visual cue might help to cement the pronunciation!
mount coota is the most american'...
seeing kangaroos isn't that cool
How would you feel if you saw a black or brown bear or even a bison in the wild? Animals I’ve seen traveling in the States.
For me, it was just as exciting to see a kangaroo for the first time!
Oh dear love please grow some eye brows.
