    The Bundaberg brewed drinks brand is an Aussie treasure as they use real ingredients in their soft drinks and the company is just down the road from the Bundaberg rum distillery which they have collaborated to produce the alcoholic ginger beer!

    Hi Ryan, yeah, there is a big difference in temperatures across Australia, so just because it happens to be mild in Sydney doesn't mean that it is not a stinker in the middle of Western Australia. Right now it is 19 C (66 F) in Hobart and 41 C (106 F) in Kalgoorlie. The Boxing Day test is a traditional cricket test match held over 5 days starting on Boxing Day (26th December) on the Melbourne Cricket Ground (the MCG or, as locals refer to it, the G). It is usually well attended, especially when Australia plays England (the Ashes), at which the attendance on Boxing Day is usually about 90,000. Hot cross buns are traditionally eaten around Easter, especially Good Friday (they've got a cross on them. Get it?). They used to just sell them during lent but they would bring them out earlier and earlier every year. Now they come out immediately after Christmas. It would be like American stores selling Halloween costumes immediately after Christmas. I reckon that meat that you were unsure about is a lamb roast, a pretty traditional Sunday lunch, and the thing sticking out of it is the bone (leg of lamb). Happy arvo.

    Qantas is the airline that's never had a fatality due to any accident in the air

    Ryan, the pieces of paper you pull at christmas are called Bon Bons. I'm surprised you don't have them in America at christmas. They make a loud noise when you pull them apart, and they have a paper Hat, a joke, and a little Toy of some sort inside them.

    The Boxing Day test is a match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground that always draws a huge crowd. The Aussie cricket team plays a different overseas team each year. Ppl who can't be there in person watch on TV/online or tune in on the radio. As for hot cross buns, they're an Easter tradition, which makes it ridiculous that they go on sale right after Xmas!

    Thankfully only smaller crocodiles can gallop, as they get older and bigger they usually lose the ability. That being said, the big ones can move JUST as fast, but not in that particular (creepy) motion!

    Christmas in Australia is great, always gotta have fresh Prawns and a Pavlova for it to truly be Christmas

    Bruh I love how he referred to crocs as alligators. They're nothing alike, crocs are much much scarier. A male salt water croc can get up to 23ft and weigh 2200 pounds(these are common animals in some remote areas of Australia. Whilst even particularly large alligators will only grow to 11 feet and 1000 pounds.

    The yellow ball? My money is on spiders. Millions and millions of baby spiders. There is a kind of spider that has the most beautifully terrifying golden web…

    Hot Cross buns are traditionally sold at Easter, but people love them so now they put them out straight after Xmas ✌️💖

    Life in Queensland Australia, went to Costco at Northlakes on 12/31, parked my car in the car park, did my shop, came out and noticed a group of people in front of my car. My sister went ahead to investigate and came back to tell me all was fine, it was just a 9 foot long python trying to get up into the engine well of the car parked next to me 🙄

    The Sydney-to-Hobart Yacht Race has a course of about 630 nautical miles (1,170 kilometres, 725 US miles). The big fast yachts often finish in under two days - this year it was 1 day 11 hours 56 minutes and 48 seconds, and the record is 1 day 9 hours 15'24" - but it is a handicap race, and a lot of boats in the slower classes are out for four days or more.

    That yellow thing you thought was a knitting granny in the roof is a spiders egg sack covered in silk to keep it safe from other creatures it could hold as many as a thousand offspring

    The Boxing Day Test is an Aussie tradition. Australia plays a test match (cricket) against a visiting international team in Melbourne, Victoria. This year we flogged South Africa.

    Lol the hot cross bun controversy happens every year … it’s an Easter bun (delicious) . Every year it’s in the shops the day after Christmas and is sold until Easter , some complain it’s being sold too early . Flavours include the traditional dried fruit , apple and cinnamon, chocolate chip , real Cadbury chocolate, white chocolate and raspberry, caramel etc .

    Boxing day is a carryover from the British days. The day after Christmas the Lords gave their servants presents in a box, so it became boxing day.

    That yellow thing stuck to the roof with webs is a spider sack. Lots of little spider babies living inside of it. Also smaller crocodiles generally gallop like that until they get much bigger and then they will move one back and front leg simultaneously to generate short bursts of speed on land, they can be quite fast but can't sustain the speed for very far at all.

    Hot Cross buns are meant to be for easter. Shops have them out on boxing day.
