ALRIGHT!! Thanks to all you Aussie geograpeeps that helped me with this one (Even though I don't quite understand some of the reasons for half of the things you said) And HEY!! I GOT CANBERRA RIGHT THIS TIME! Enjoy!
Yo a question barbs, When u get info from geograpeeps where should i send such info like when my country comes? i really wanna know to get an input, its far away (Its Sweden) But still.
There is a reason that Australia never took New Zealand out of their territories list in their constitution. As I understand it (please correct me if I'm wrong), the original plan was to incorporate Australia and New Zealand as one nation, when they gained independence from the UK, but New Zealand had just got done dealing with a really bloody war with the Maori and were worried that the policies of Australia toward the indigenous populations would jeopardise the tenuous peace so they opted to not become part of Australia. Australia didn't take New Zealand out of the constitution because that leaves the door open to them to join later if they decide to. Taking them out would mean that union of New Zealand and Australia would require a plebiscite in both countries but not taking them out means it only would only require New Zealanders' consent. My understanding is that it's just a red tape avoidance measure and not a territorial claim.
Indigenous relations is an anachronistic reason for not joining federation that's been promoted as part of New Zealand nation building. The actual reasons listed were 1. Cultural differences 2. Distance from Australia making national defence difficult. Which is ironic because New Zealand has specifically been reducing their military for years now under the belief that proximity to Australia and our shared alliance (ANZUS now just AUS & ANZ) will protect them.
Or you know we could invade and take it is that not the US/UK thing to do?! We are happy to let our brothers and sisters Govern themselves why do we need or want to rule them when they are able to do it themselves better than we could?!
@@DarthAwar Sorry I think you misunderstood me. I have no problem with NZ independence I was just listing the reasons for it and correcting a common historical myth.

How is the Australian government going to pay for the hundreds of thousands of personal, or even find enough people to sign up to man this force without causing the economy to collapse and mass civil unrest from their 70% tax rates?

That while they might try to force us to give in by force it will cost them gravely and while I love the Americans and they might come to our aid it could be days or even more likely weeks late remember btw China has a base in PNG and are fortifying almost the entire south china sea and forcing other nations to join them through Bribery, Corruption and Blackmail (Philippines as the most obvious but look at any nation targeted by China's Belt & Road Scheme and that is what it is!) I would like to live in a world where we can realistically have just a small Self Defense Force but that is not where the world is going with both China, North Korea (And Russia if we are being Honest!) getting much more aggressive both in actions and building up Nuclear Weapons as well as more traditional style forces we might be only years to 2 decades away from WWIII and we are a huge target for Resources (Natural Gas, Gold, Iron, Uranium, Food, Water, Land, Strategic Military Locations so on!) I do not agree with Conscription AT ALL but maybe do what America does and Advertise, Advertise, Advertise (Schools, Shows, Public Events, TV, Radio, Magazines, Papers, Internet like a lot!) but the good news is that most of the tech is getting less maintenance intensive as well as people dependant so if we modernize we might have a great updated and larger force without as many people needed as we did just 20 years ago!

You forgot to mention Melbourne has basically been the most liveable city in the entire world for most of the last decade. This video implies that Adelaide ranks higher which it doesn’t. Melbourne recently dropped down to second as the terrorism threat in Europe has decreased so Vienna in Austria is now the most liveable. For some perspective, the most liveable city in the USA is 37 being Pittsburgh. 6 of Australia’s major cities rank in the top 20.

santa claws It's mostly love. There's a sibling rivalry kinda thing where we compete fiercely over sport and tease each other a lot, but it's all love.
3:40 couple more things to mention about Adelaide and SA as a whole. - We're also dubbed "The Festival State" as we have a few large festivals that happen over the course of the year. Biggest is the Fringe festival which is one of the largest arts festivals in Australia and Southern Hemisphere. Goes for about a month, international acts mostly come here and we get a massive influx of tourists. We also used to have the famous Clipsal 500 which is a V8 Supercar race (although this is coming back this year for the first time in a few years but under a different name). - We do have a military weapons testing facility called Woomera which has a tiny town there mainly of the people that work alongside Woomera. Fairly massive in size. It's mainly for Air Force training but there has been weapons grade testing with bombs and stuff made there. - The largest stretch of road with very little people living there is in SA too known as the Nullaboar Plain. Stretches from Coorabie (little locality) all the way to the border of WA. In the last Census that was published, it was like, 50 people. - The largest cattle ranch in the world, Anna Creek. It's basically the size of Israel, about 10 people live there, and it's basically a massive cattle ranch. They get around the place herding on quad bikes.
He also pronounced Brisbane as well. Most Americans pronounce it with a long "a" like Bane (the Batman villain) rather than a short "a" like it's supposed to be.
Alaska : I'm the biigest state. WA: What no I'm twice as big as you. Sahklin: Ametures. WA and Alaska: What as that you little b- Sahklin: I SAID AMETURES. (Sahklin is the bigfest state in the world albiet nearly completly inhospitable.)
Try driving from Esperance in the south of Western Australia to Kunnunnurra in the north. You'd be doing well to do it in less than 4 days, with overnight stays .
Quick reference guide for Americans: Sydney (New South Wales) -> Australia's New York Melbourne (Victoria) -> Australia's San Francisco Adelaide (South Australia) -> Australia's Florida Darwin (Northern Territory) -> Australia's Utah Perth (Western Australia) -> Australia's Alaska Brisbane (Queensland) -> Australia's Texas New Zealand -> Australia's Canada
No one in Australia considers New Zealand to be part of the country, in fact very few people actually know that it's in the Constitution. Mostly it just comes down to people joking that we could legally add New Zealand to Australia but no one cares enough to do it and never will.
@@The_Desert_Tiger They all come to Australia because they can get well paid jobs in the mining sector and have the same workers rights as Australians.

Holy shit I think this might be the first non-Australian person I've heard pronounce Melbourne, Canberra, AND emu correctly. Kudos to you man. And this video was also super accurate and informative!! You've definitely earned my interest and I'll be checking out the rest of your channel :)
Something I thought of as the Western Australia section of this video came up - BLACK SWANS! Black swans were once considered more mythical that unicorns. Then Europeans came to Australia and found real black swans, which made "Black Swan" turn from a statement of something mythical to a name for an event whose huge significance has a massive effect on people's perspective in hindsight.
Well I don't think New Zealand are ours and I imagine most Australians think so too. New Zealand is just our Little Brother nation. Small in size, big in attitude, we have really competitive sports competitions between us, bicker over the pavlova and call each other names, but stand together in wars.
I would also love to go see their more snow-inclined sections, but so far I have only visited the northern island. Some day I'll get to the South Island though! Unfortunately the container mall is gone, but maybe I can get a helicopter tour to Mount Sunday, where Edoras was filmed.
Mimi Sardinia also Lake Hillier was spelt wrong. I come from Esperance which is the closest town nearest to Lake Hillier and I was kinda surprised that it was mentioned👍
The paragraph you read suggesting that Australia thinks of New Zealand as part of us was introduced in a misleading way. New Zealand was considering becoming part of Australia at federation and still has the right to join at any time they choose. They probably won't of course. We're very integrated with them in many ways, enough that they got rid of their air force quite some time ago, as they're confident enough that Australia would come to their defence if it ever became necessary.
As a law-abiding New Zealander I feel obligated to point out that Q1 is only the second-tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere. The Sky Tower in Auckland is 5.5m taller.
Melbourne was voted the 2nd most livable city in the world and was voted 1st consecutively for 7 years until 2018 when Vienna beat it to 1st place. Adelaide, on the other hand, is just the 10th most livable city.

Jervis Bay was one of the coolest places I've visited in the entire country when I was camping around the entire country. It's like a natural waterpark where you can pick a beach depending what you want to do, there will always be a good beach for any activity, low surf snorkeling, high wave surfing, long wave surfing and it's overall just gorgeous everywhere. Highly recommend going there
Pretty good job on the pronunciations mate, appreciate the effort. Just to clarify one point, an invitation was extended to New Zealand to join Australia. We don't actually claim any of their territory. We do have open borders though and I like to think for the most part we get along pretty well. Except during the Footy when we're bitter rivals (until the final buzzer, then we all party!).
Not completely open. You still need a Visa, and you can still be denied entry based on criminal history. You can apply for the visa at customs though, and they have forms there.

Thank you for doing the video. I suggest this to my uni class here in Germany (INTRO TO ENGLISH-SPEAKING COUNTRIES) because you cover a lot with a sense of humor and interject it with visuals. Good job! (Would be great if you work on the capitalization aspects though, like Murray River, etc).
>AC/DC Was formed in New South Wales *WRONG* AC/DC was formed in Western Australia by the Young brothers (Angus and Malcolm) and original leader singer Bon Scott, after the brothers imigrated to Australia from Scotland in the 1960's. The group, while on a pub tour in the east coasts discovered the rest of the band; got big and then filmed "Long Way To The Top" in Sydney. Bon Scott's bronze statue can be found in the port-town of Fremantle, famously the location where the Australia II was built (the first yacht ever to beat the USA in the America's cup).
Hey there! As an Australian, I can honestly say that I found your video to be shockingly accurate! (Considering you're American). And it was fun to watch! Keep up the excellent work! On a side note, it's pronounced Queens Land, as in two individual words, to make one word. Queensland :-)
Not an Aussie, but I have been told that Tasmania has a great tourist attraction, "MONA" : the Museum of Old and New Art. Can't believe you missed that one.
Victoria does have a league and a union team, though. The Melbourne Storm are consistently in the Top 8 of the NRL (when they're not being a bunch of salary cap violators). The rugbies are no where near the popularity of AFL, obviously.
South Australia is just so diverse too, with completely different regions like the rolling hills of the Flureau peninsula, or the pastures of the mid north, the world renowned Flinders Ranges, the fruit producing Riverlands, the Timber forests and Volcanoes of Mt Gambier etc..
The border of NSW and Victoria is actually on the Victorian banks of the river, so the river along that border is entirely in NSW. But also he did say the source was in NSW, which is correct.
Apparently on Norfolk Island they use "God Save the Queen" in place of the Australian National Anthem, they always pop up on our news every few years saying how the want to succeed to the UK lol. Also people from SA have a weird accent, more similarities with more "proper" British pronunciation, likely due to the first settlers being free settlers rather than convicts.
actually the Portuguese had sighted Australia decades/centuries before any other european had but they were more interested in the gold/spices in India so they just never stopped!
@@JonoNJD7 Many of the spices actually came from what is now part of Indonesia. They were actually known as the Spice Islands, which is very close to north Australia. Nutmeg, cloves and pepper came from there.
Hey, Melbourne has Federation Square which hosts numerous diverse events (more than Sydney probs) i.e. Korean festival and has a lot of parks famously known e.g. botanic garden, Albert Park. Also, it has this annual tennis competition called the Australian Open which invites overseas professional players to compete. It also has Port of Melbourne which is biggest (I'm pretty sure) port in Australia called 'Port of Melbourne' and home to mountains i.e. (again) Mount Dandenong. Furthermore, it has Chadstone - biggest shopping centre in Australia. I'm generally only scratching the surface of Melbourne. In addition, there are great beaches e.g. Sorrento and Nation Gallery of Victoria which hosts numerous artworks e.g. MoMA. This city is the fastest growing in Australia and will soon surpass Sydney in population.

Quick reference guide for Americans:
Sydney (New South Wales) -> Australia's New York

Adelaide (South Australia) -> Australia's Florida
Darwin (Northern Territory) -> Australia's Utah
Perth (Western Australia) -> Australia's Alaska
Brisbane (Queensland) -> Australia's Texas
New Zealand -> Australia's Canada
No one in Australia considers New Zealand to be part of the country, in fact very few people actually know that it's in the Constitution. Mostly it just comes down to people joking that we could legally add New Zealand to Australia but no one cares enough to do it and never will.

Australia 🇦🇺 is really amazing💕😍. I am dying to visit. Lots of love❤😘 to Australia🇦🇺 from India🇮🇳
Something I thought of as the Western Australia section of this video came up - BLACK SWANS! Black swans were once considered more mythical that unicorns. Then Europeans came to Australia and found real black swans, which made "Black Swan" turn from a statement of something mythical to a name for an event whose huge significance has a massive effect on people's perspective in hindsight.
Well I don't think New Zealand are ours and I imagine most Australians think so too. New Zealand is just our Little Brother nation. Small in size, big in attitude, we have really competitive sports competitions between us, bicker over the pavlova and call each other names, but stand together in wars.
I would also love to go see their more snow-inclined sections, but so far I have only visited the northern island. Some day I'll get to the South Island though! Unfortunately the container mall is gone, but maybe I can get a helicopter tour to Mount Sunday, where Edoras was filmed.
I learnt more in this 13 min video than i did at school - p.s I'm Australian so thats a compliment
Mimi Sardinia also Lake Hillier was spelt wrong. I come from Esperance which is the closest town nearest to Lake Hillier and I was kinda surprised that it was mentioned👍
Lol black swans are rare?? I’m confused. I see thousands of black swans on Lake Illawarra. I don’t see how they are rare.

The paragraph you read suggesting that Australia thinks of New Zealand as part of us was introduced in a misleading way. New Zealand was considering becoming part of Australia at federation and still has the right to join at any time they choose. They probably won't of course. We're very integrated with them in many ways, enough that they got rid of their air force quite some time ago, as they're confident enough that Australia would come to their defence if it ever became necessary.
They didnt get rid of their air force! They still have 2 old Hueys and a Cessna :p
you also forgot Australia zoo in Queensland, founded by Steve Irwin
As a law-abiding New Zealander I feel obligated to point out that Q1 is only the second-tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere. The Sky Tower in Auckland is 5.5m taller.
As another law-abiding New Zealander, I can second that.
As an Australian, I have to disagree.
Sky Tower is not a building. It is a freestanding structure.
Yeah, sky tower isn't a building... it's a tower. The main structure of the building isn't even that tall. The tower/spine doesn't count

Melbourne was voted the 2nd most livable city in the world and was voted 1st consecutively for 7 years until 2018 when Vienna beat it to 1st place. Adelaide, on the other hand, is just the 10th most livable city.

We'll actually, Barossa was supposed to have been Barrosa, but was misspelled in the surveyor general's office. Probably by the same illiterate who dropped the U from places like Outer Harbor and Victor Harbor. Barrosa is Spanish, so yeah, should have heavily rolled Rs. Still, we're stuck with Barrosa, so no rolled R.
Jervis Bay was one of the coolest places I've visited in the entire country when I was camping around the entire country.

As an Aussie, I can say this was accurate.
Pretty good job on the pronunciations mate, appreciate the effort.
Just to clarify one point, an invitation was extended to New Zealand to join Australia. We don't actually claim any of their territory. We do have open borders though and I like to think for the most part we get along pretty well. Except during the Footy when we're bitter rivals (until the final buzzer, then we all party!).
Well said mate Ozy Ozy Ozy!!!
Not completely open. You still need a Visa, and you can still be denied entry based on criminal history. You can apply for the visa at customs though, and they have forms there.

>AC/DC Was formed in New South Wales
*WRONG*
AC/DC was formed in Western Australia by the Young brothers (Angus and Malcolm) and original leader singer Bon Scott, after the brothers imigrated to Australia from Scotland in the 1960's. The group, while on a pub tour in the east coasts discovered the rest of the band; got big and then filmed "Long Way To The Top" in Sydney.
Bon Scott's bronze statue can be found in the port-town of Fremantle, famously the location where the Australia II was built (the first yacht ever to beat the USA in the America's cup).
A but wrong on the so g film location, it was filimed in Melbourne in the 70s, hence the trams :)
Sydney used to have trams.
Liam correct, however the last use of them in Sydney was in 1961 way before the song came out
It was filmed on Melbourne's Swanston Street, near ACDC Lane.
Fair enough. Not from Sydney and decades before me.
Hey there! As an Australian, I can honestly say that I found your video to be shockingly accurate! (Considering you're American). And it was fun to watch! Keep up the excellent work! On a side note, it's pronounced Queens Land, as in two individual words, to make one word. Queensland :-)

Victoria doesn't play rugby. Queensland and New South Wales are the big ruby players that constantly compete.

Victoria does have a league and a union team, though. The Melbourne Storm are consistently in the Top 8 of the NRL (when they're not being a bunch of salary cap violators). The rugbies are no where near the popularity of AFL, obviously.

Apparently on Norfolk Island they use "God Save the Queen" in place of the Australian National Anthem, they always pop up on our news every few years saying how the want to succeed to the UK lol.

Hey, Melbourne has Federation Square which hosts numerous diverse events (more than Sydney probs) i.e. Korean festival and has a lot of parks famously known e.g. botanic garden, Albert Park. Also, it has this annual tennis competition called the Australian Open which invites overseas professional players to compete. It also has Port of Melbourne which is biggest (I'm pretty sure) port in Australia called 'Port of Melbourne' and home to mountains i.e. (again) Mount Dandenong. Furthermore, it has Chadstone - biggest shopping centre in Australia. I'm generally only scratching the surface of Melbourne. In addition, there are great beaches e.g. Sorrento and Nation Gallery of Victoria which hosts numerous artworks e.g. MoMA. This city is the fastest growing in Australia and will soon surpass Sydney in population.
