    I've been to an Outback Steakhouse. On the menu they had 'Kookaburra Wings' (actually chicken, and clearly spelled out in the description)... That didn't stop me from taking one bite and loudly proclaiming "This is not Kookaburra!" to the waitstaff.

      I saw a television show that mentioned a sweet spot between the coast and the snowfields where you can drive west to ski in winter and east to surf in summer. Also, if you felt energetic during winter, you could get up early and surf in the morning then snow ski in the afternoon. Can't remember the name of it unfortunately.

    I’m 5’1 and some of the daily annoyances are my feet not reaching the floor in regular seats (including driving the car and the loo) this has led to hip and spine issues, I drive with cushions behind my back to both see over the windscreen and reach the pedals, not being able to properly use high shelves, due to being rural I used to have to buy clothing from the kids selection (pre-online shopping), people that I’m with walk faster then me.
    People treat shorter people differently- people invade shorter peoples space more often, they lean over you, stand closer and touch/hug you more often and I’ve had strangers literally walk up to me and hug me (people are more wary of tall people the opposite occurs when someone is short). It’s common for people to underestimate a short person’s capabilities and there can be issues with people taking you seriously.

    @IWrocker, surprisingly, Bloomin Onions is not really a dish in Australia. Well, it's rare to find a restaurant that serves "bloomin' onions". And I agree with you, it would be better to have a restaurant that has Australian food and is Australian themed. Yet, barring the occasional dish, made using Australian natural ingredients, we don't really have our own cuisine. Even in Australia, it is rare to find restaurants or ingredients that are native to Australia.

    I share my land with 50-60 roos. The reason I've never run any over may be because I never use high beams around them, and detect if they're stressed by watching their behaviour. A roo with its ears back can jump in any direction at any time, so slow right down. Their ears go back when it snows and they stay back until it melts away. I don't think it's the cold that stresses them when they're happy to stand out in the frost. I reckon the roos hate snow because they can't get to the grass.

      Snow is not just limited to the SE of Australia. Obviously some places get more snow than others, e.g. the Australian "Alps", but you CAN get snow in every state in Australia, including NT if you count a rare snow shower on Uluru. I suggest you spend a winter on the Granite belt in Queensland, the ACT, or in the central or northern tablelands in NSW where snow is a regular winter phenomenon. Snow also falls on the Stirling ranges in WA and on the Flinders rangers in SA from time to time.

    That was so interesting, thanks Ian. The Australian bushfires of 2019-20 added to global warming and the thinning of the mid-latitude ozone layer. The smoke travelled all around the world and severely affected crops and weather conditions in several countries. Daily smokers are around 11% of the population. The National Tobacco Campaign was launched to reduce smoking in and therefore its associated health issues. Banning advertising, adding hefty taxes, plain paper packaging with warnings and graphic images, tobacco products locked away not on display at shops, bans on workplace, transport, etc smoking, Quit helplines and support groups, subsidised patches, education campaigns in media and schools, etc. The trend in smokers was steadily going down until recently for all demographics, except teen girls who were being targeted through social media, with new forms being introduced or others becoming popular - e-cigarettes, shishas etc.

    I had a couple of really tall great uncles.
    They had to duck to go through door ways so they didn't hit their head.
    They had to have special raised seats fitted in their Holden cars.
    I remember riding on their shoulders when I was 3 years old. It felt I could reach up & touch the moon because I was so high up.

    Great video and great slelction. When I was a teenager I wanted to join the police. Problem was that I was 5'8" and 5'9" was the minimum height allowed. Another police force allowed 5'8" as the minimum. Years later I joined the ambulance. Technically they had no height restrictions, but you had to be able tobe tall enough to grab the handle of the pull down rear door during the physical functional aptitude test. How times with policing have changed.

    The chips thing... they are all fried potatoes, or oven baked sometimes. But seriously the first is a bag of chips, the second is hot chips. Hot chips are thicker than french fries, and come wrapped in white paper, (the next day or hours later, they are cold chips) my big sister used to rip one end open and wander around eating them, not silly enough to go home with it, where 9 people lived at the time(parents and 7 siblings ending up with 8 after 2 married sisters had kids). with or without chicken salt, we can put on plain salt, tomato sauce, lemon juice or gravy.

    Altitude is key to having snow in Australia. Even as far south as Hobart, snow on the ground is fairly uncommon. Unless you're on top of Mount Wellington. Same here in WA, you'll only really get it at Bluff Knoll, which has a 1000 metre altitude

    THe reason why most Austraians never see snow is that over 66% of Australians live in the greater metropolitan area of Australia's 8 capital cities which are on the coast. To see snow you have to move away from the coast to Inland cities like Stanthorpe (Queensland), Orange, Oberon Lithgow, Bathurst (NSW), Ballarat (Victoria) and Canberra (ACT), to name a few.

    Oh come on, we have snow, a few hundred square miles, for a couple of months, some of the greatest ski resorts (in the local area),
    ski slopes that rival, well, the other ones nearby, they even call them "The Snowy Mountains".
    My guess is they were discovered in the middle of winter and a week after they named them they buggered of back to England.

    The land drop off into the sea just before 8mins in:
    That used to be underwater millions of years ago. When the poles were melted, that was an inland sea that went all the way to Uluru. In fact, it formed Uluru because it's made from harder rock than the surrounding area, and the water washed the softer earth and rock away, leaving Uluru poking out when the sea disappeared from when the poles started to freeze over year round and locked up enough water for the sea level to go down until the inland sea disappeared.

    RE: Hemsworth at 12:10 or so..now that you're getting into F1, maybe you should call him James Hunt? 🤣 If you haven't seen Ron Howard's "Rush" yet, find a copy and watch. Evidently, one of Howard's favorite screenwriters was talking about the '76 season to a friend. Howard overheard. "Dude! That's a *movie*!!" And the first time I saw Daniel Bruhl in something else he'd done I thought, '...man - that guy looks so much like Lauda before the accident!'

    The world weather map is a snap shot of a point in time. Someone must have gone to a lot of trouble to find this image as the weather it indicates would have only lasted for a day. It is pretty rare to have a situation where the average temperature of the whole country is over say 30 degrees Celsius - there is usually a temperature differential going from west to east and from south to north as pressure systems move across the continent. For example, last week the southern states had a summer "cold snap" and the temperature was a good 15 Celsius degrees below the average while the northern states were experiencing a heat wave. One picture may be worth a thousand words but is can be misleading if it is not properly interpreted.
