The feral cat situation is horrible here, there isn't any shelters even accepting strays because there isn't any resources or room, but people still don't get them desexed, it's a human problem, perpetuated by poor human behaviour. I've just adopted a kitten that was either going to turn feral, be wedge tail eagle food, or be euthanised, and she is amazing, and because she's been given a good home, been desexed, and kept in at night, she'll never be able to kill native wildlife indiscriminately, and unchecked! People are idiots, domestic cats are still cats, they are the perfect hunters, and Australia has vulnerable ecosystems that are perfect for feral cats, dogs and pigs to breed and destroy with no competition or predators

Esperance and other places on the South coast WA has similar sand, mostly quartz, it is so clean and fine local jewelers use it to polish their jewelry. because of the high quartz content there is next to no silt so the water stays crystal clear, and it squeaks when you walk on it.

I watched the special ‘Aunty Jack show’ on a Black and White Tv on the night that colour tv started here. Obviously we couldn’t see the colour on the lower half, but we could tell that the bottom part was different.

That's why it took me until my teens to realise why none of the man in moon references made sense.

We do get sunsets (and sunrises) like that occasionally. We see the moon upside down, nah. We see it the correct way, it's the Northern hemisphere that see it up side down.

I was engaged for a week to skipper a sailing yacht for some vacationers a while back. They wanted to go to Whitehaven Beach, amongst other places. It is exactly as it is in the picture, breathtaking. You will never see sand that pure and white anywhere else in the world. Moments after we anchored, about 30 meters offshore, my charges leapt gleefully into that astonishing water. After a few minutes, noticing that I was not about to join them, they inquired as to why. I asked the eldest one at what distance he would see anything approaching from beneath the water, if he was even looking. They thought I was being ridiculous, but I stayed high and dry, and vigilant. That evening two of them threw a line in and as one was fighting to land a fish there was an almighty bang! The boat (13 mtrs) lurched and simultaneously the helm spun rapidly until the rudder was hard over. A shark had targeted the struggling fish and ran headlong into the rudder. About 3 or 4 minutes later a fin appeared off the stern, and it was more than large enough to ruin a swimmers day. The sunrise (Shorncliffe, east coast) is real, though not usually quite as stunning as it is in that picture. I live a few minutes from there and have spent a great many evenings fishing off that pier. If you look to the right of it, near the horizon you can see the posts of the old shark-barrier. I swam there many times as a kid. Thank you for a great video.

Regarding our feral cats. Cats may have arrived in Australia as early a the 17th century, although it is believed that European settlers brought them out as pets during the late 18th century. Cats were also deliberately released into the wild during the 19th century to control rabbits and mice. So they've had a long time to evolve and spread.

Most of us live on the coast or barely inland. It's a common misconception that everything here is dangerous, but you really have to get out into the sticks to find the danger. In suburbia, we get redback spiders, the odd black or brown snake, maybe a funnel web spider, but rarely. Its been decades since anyone died from a spider, thanks to solid antivenom programs and procedures (although mixed accounts say someone was killed by a redback in 2016), and less than 30 snake deaths in the last 75 years, largely due to the remoteness of the victims. From 2000 - 2013 there were 12,000 hospitalisations for spider bites, and zero deaths. Bees and wasps have killed more people, as the same number of hospitalisations in the same time period resulted in 25 deaths, killing 8x the number marine animals did in the same time frame. Shark attacks are rare here too, despite the myths. Since 1791 (not 1971) there's been 1045 attacks and 236 of those have resulted in death. An average of only 0.98 per year, but rates have been well below average for decades thanks to better beach monitoring and protection at recreational areas.

Why is it so important to tell people the Earth is round? Round in their mind is a small curved shape. We don't have any flatter things in nature than the surfaces of large gravitationally-bound bodies. I believe in topology. A sphere with its point removed is equivalent to a plane. So someone with a point experiences a plane, a pointless observer experiences a sphere.

My grandsons, who live in the hill country in the Sunshine Coast area, often visit Whitehaven Beach with their Year 9 friends on a mate's boat. It is almost pure silica and thus doesn't retain heat. So it's comfortable for bare feet even on the hottest days. Of course the beach is on Whitsunday Island, but the place in England after which it is named - and close to Captain Cook's home - was a town the boys insisted we visited when I took them on a tour of Europe for their 10th birthdays (twins).

The pier reminds me of the painting "The Scream" without the figure in the foreground. Because the sand is so white the sun's heat is reflected and the sand stays cool, even on the hottest day. Americans arev coming to Australia in much larger numbers in recent years.

Re the upside down moon - we also see the constellation of Orion upside down.

We do have stray cats in towns and cities. But feral cats are on another level altogether.

There was one feral cat shot at Dubbo NSW & it weighed in at 66lbs at the time.

When i moved to australia i was suprised by the size of domestic cats also as they were about 1 third larger than domestic cats in the UK

14:30 - not the moment you wanna cross this with your convertible…

Net migration of course does not tell you how many move from Australia to the US. A net negative (small percentage) can happen if 60 move to Australia, while 58 different people move the other way, but theoretically it could also be 500K one way and 490K the other way.

Ian, thought you'd know enough by now to know that we don't see things upside down ie, the moon. It's different.

The water stop signs are awesome. Instead of getting a crew out to put signs up or finding space in narrow tunnels for electric signs etc, this is used. It also means traffic coming out of the tunnel doesn’t really see the light sign and can drive straight through the blockade in an emergency.

14:01 The waterfall stop sign was a case of necessity is the mother of invention. After years of over-height vehicles causing damage to the tunnel entrance and blocking traffic after getting stuck there, the tunnel operators were searching for a warning sign that would be impossible to ignore. Flashing lights and illuminated signs had failed, and they couldn't risk using physical barriers because of the damage from impact. The water curtain was ideal because it puts a clear warning right in front of the driver, but is also safe for emergency vehicles to drive through, as you've already noted in your video.

Awesome video mate 👍 I always thought photos of North Qld were photo shopped until I saw it for myself.

Looked exactly like an ocelot in markings and was absolutely gentle. Used to bring in brown snakes at night though and once a metre long goanna. I miss him so much. There were quite a few giant ones where I lived with neighbours photographing one that was as almost as big as their Alsatian the father of our Alsatian actually drinking from their dam.

The sand feels like talcum powder. It is only accessible by boat or helicopter. One trip, I was fortunate enough to be invited on a new luxury cruiser embarked at Mooloolaba. Three days later, we were anchoring for the night in one of the natural harbours of Whitsunday Island. The next morning we took the boat around to Whitehaven and anchored offshore. instead of taking the rubber ducky to the beach or jumping on the jet skies with the boys, my friend and I put on our flippers and tied an esky between two inflatable armchairs and paddled to shore and made mango margaritas on the waters edge which we enjoyed with lobster and mudcrabs all courtesy of our trusted esky. I might add that Jimmy Barns had just released his 'Soul Deep'album, so we kept the stereo load enough so we could enjoy it on the beach. We were all alone until a helicopter arrived with two customer's were served champagne by the pilot wearing a top hat and tails and had provided a table and chairs for the couple which was placed on the waters edge so everyone could keep their feet wet. This was Xmas time. And North Qld is hot in Summer. Staying wet is a must. If you want to experience the Whitsundays and don't have a fortune to splash, you can easily get work on Hamilton Island, which is the closest island to Whitehaven Beach and the best island to work on. Stay for about 12 weeks and use your days off to go waterskiing with the instructors who usually take you over to Whitsunday Island. Sunrise is best. A large catamaran takes tourists out to the reef where you can snorkel or dive if you're profficiant. Early morning fishing charters will show you where the sailfish are. The islands are not affected by the boxjelly fish, so you can swim all year around. But if you are on the main land you can't swim in summer unless you wear stockings and then you still have to watch for Crocs. The water is luke warm all year. No, sorry, in summer the water is hot. But for nine months, it will cool you down. It truely is very special. If you time it right you can then go to the ski feilds for Winter work. Aussies have lots of holidays and most dont take life too seriously. You will enjoy yourself here. Thanks for your channel. Your Aussie accent is getting real good 👍

Memories!!! Auntie Jack and Thin Arthur!!!!❤️❤️

Great video as usual, I struggle at times due to MH issues but you almost always bring cheer thank you.

I am from Australia and love it. 🇦🇺🇦🇺

Auntie Jack ( Graham Bond). Brings back childhood memories.

LOLOLOL.... don't forget to mention the Selenocosmia crassipes (synonym Phlogius crassipes), also known as the "Queensland whistling tarantula", "barking spider" or "bird-eating tarantula" is a species of tarantula native to the east coast of Queensland, Australia. The name "whistling tarantula" comes from its ability to produce a hissing noise when provoked.... don't forget that one... ^_^

The stop sign is triggered by two things (that I know of, at least), an accident in the tunnel, or if a truck has ignored all the minimum height warnings

That is why Australia is called the lucky country and Im proud to be a Aussie

Whitehaven Beach is in the Whitsunday Islands on the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia...

First picture is of the sunrise looking east from the shore along the Shorncliffe Pier in Brisbane's Moreton Bay.

I live close to Whitehaven Beach. It’s all protected and you can only get there by boat. Before getting on the boat to go back to mainland you are required to brush off any sand (silica) because it’s illegal to take any of it away. It feels different to sand - a lot finer and softer in handfuls but harder than sand to walk on- almost like pure white ground up glass. It’s spectacular. The pictures don’t do it justice.

Feral cats in the interior have been getting bigger and bigger, especially the males, because they have to roam over a big area for food and mates. Also depending on what area they come from, they are breeding out to specific colours. For instance, in forested and lightly aforested areas, they are mostly grey tabbies. In the red soil country in the center, they are all gingers, mostly because the hawks can pick out the kittens of other colours more easily than they can gingers.

About the Moon, yes I noticed it was different looking at it in Germany when I was there in 2015.

That's the aurora Australia, is rare to see it. That tv show was called Aunty Jack. Feral cats are a huge problem, no feral cat is taking down a roo 😂
