Koala sounds exactly like that, my husband used to be a vet nurse and Wildlife would drop the same size box with injured native animals on their doorstep. They would move the box and the animal would object and if he heard that sound would immediately go and get special gloves to handle the Koalas as one of the vets had a finger bitten off by a Koala

I think it has got something to do with the male confirming his territory or the females letting the male know they're on heat. From the limited information I've gathered from watching tv, I understand that one male tends to own a few square kilometres, populated by about 6-8 females, and they don't generally tend to hang out, so being able to call fairly loudly would be important at certain times like these.

Its the Welsh i dont know what their on about.

Simplified explanation: Australian east coast tend to have a lot of vertical rotation (due to great dividing range) in storms giving rise to very large hail. Severe storms in the US tend to have a lot of horizontal rotation (due to wide open plains) giving rise to tornados.

18 months ago Brisbane had a hail storm that smashed over 75000 homes roofs and broke nearly every window in them. Took a full year to replace windows and windscreens in which was 134000 broken plus cars dented beyond repair

Speaking of hail storms... back in the 80s a mate of mine had his car beaten to death by hail stones. There was even dents on the underside of the fuel tank where the hail stones had bounced off the road and into the underside of the car.

"Have a good one" is derived from "Have a good day" which that comes from "Good day to you sir/ma'am". A cranky koala does sound like that. They can be quite savage. You should watch a video on koala's fighting. Our hail stones are hail rocks! And in all my driving life my car only copped it once. Insurance looked after it.

The truth is to understand Aussie you need to be completely and very quickly adaptable. You need to be able to hear words and phrases that you've never heard before and instantly know what they mean. It is a language which is completely intuitive and understanding it is based on volume, tone, pitch, pace and context. A word in one context can mean something completely opposite in another context. Another indicator is whether the person is looking at you or not and if they are looking at you how are they looking at you. It's complex to an outsider but just completely natural to us.

Love your work, mate, you obviously enjoy it. There's a bloke by the name of Afferbeck Lauder and, back in the '60s, he wrote a couple of books. "Let's Talk Strine", and "Nose Tone Unturned". Reading them will help you understand Australian.

Yes that was a male Koala and they do that around mating season. The first time I heard that about 30 yrs ago I thought it was a Tiger. It is freaking scary when you heard that late at night. Also living in Brisbane we have had several occasions were the hail has been the size of golf of tennis balls, very big and destructive.

For your information, the first Tik Toc The Bush Olympics, the event The Barefoot Bindi Dash.......a Bindi is a burr or thorn that grows in grass all over a lot of Australia. Walking barefoot through grass can be quite panful as you get them sticking in to your feet!

"living the dream" as a response is what most folk in work places says here in UK as well. Same goes for "have a good one" and "cool as" or "and then some" The girl coming out with all the sayings, I understood them all, I guess with the constant 'Neighbours' - 'Home and away' - 'Prisoner Cell Block H' we've had on UK TV since the mid 80s our lingo is pretty entwined together, I miss Charlene from my youth.

Lol the Aussie convo girl, I understood everything. 😂

Australia might have heaps of dangerous animals but the mating call of a Koala is outright the most terrifying thing I've ever heard in the bush at night

In response to the girl speaking sentences in 'Australian' slang...as a fellow aussie I can honestly say I probably use less than half those slang words in everyday life. With that said, I still understood what she was saying. I never realised how strange we sounded until I started watching KZread. :)

There's an unspoken rule that any Aussie must backup a fellow Aussie spinning bullshit yarns to foreigners, no matter how bizarre, crazy, or unbelievable, you must always go along with the story and add your own embellishments. No one ever discusses this rule, it's simply infused into your genome when you're born here (or when you become one of us by living here and having it done to you so many times you delight in doing it to the tourists and newbies yourself). So if you think an Australian is bullshitting you, you'll never know. Yes koalas make that sound. But there again, I'm Australian, can you really trust me? 🤣

Lol absolutely can attest to this rule 🤣 🤣🤣

That koala call, yes, it is very real Ian - that’s exactly what they sound like. When I was a child we often heard them calling like that throughout the bush, especially when camping in summertime…they actually used to roam through trees in the caravan parks at Phillip Island in the 1960’s and 1970’s, until of course, we humans decided we liked where they lived. As for the Aussie language - this is what I’ve been saying for years; that you guys (as in, most Americans in particular, but anyone from OS really) just don’t really understand true “Occa” - as in ‘sheberitemate’ - the spoken words that somehow just end up rolled together, often spoken out of the corner of your mouth while you hold the durry in ‘Paul Hogan style’, and squint your eyes against the sun glare - or for the younger crew who wear hoody’s to keep the biting wind/rain/salt spray/sun off ya noggin (head) no wukkers mate (as in ‘no wucking furries’ which equates to ‘no fn worries’). You’d need a lifetime mate to learn; the differences between outback/country/oldskool Aussie lingo is definitely not the English taught in schools, lol.

Hey there, luv your vids. been bingeing them the last couple of days, you got a sub right here. Your open mindedness is so great to see. Met a couple of Americans here in Munich Germany, especially during the Oktoberfest. Funnily a bunch of them were from Chicago too and had a great day with them. Keep up this great Content. Greetings from Germany

Hi Ian... I've added what the girl actually said to Jared's translation so that you can see how it works !! .. 1: My television hasn't been working that well for quite some time. I'm surprised it hasn't died yet. 1. Telly's been cactus for months now 2: You must be upset about this. 2. Yeah I'm not surprised she finally carked it 1: Yes, I'm annoyed but I can't be bothered to get it repaired, it will be too expensive. I might just leave it by the road side for the garbage collectors to take it away. 1. Spewin truly... yeah I'm cut as but I can't be arsed getting it fixed it's going to cost me an arm and a leg. I'll just leave it out the front for the garbos to get it. 2: My friend might be able to take a look at it, if you would like? 2. My mate Shippa might be able to have a geeze at it if you want? 1: Really? 1. Oh dead set ? 2: Yeah, he's in his third year of an electricians apprenticeship. I'll ask him to visit this afternoon and take a look. 2. Yeah he's a 3rd year Sparky now, I'll tell him to come round this arv and suss it out. 1: He's a good guy. Ask him for his bank details and I'll pay him for his time and effort. 1. What a top bloke, tell him to swing through his deets and I'll fix him up later. 2: Don't be silly. He's a friend so it will be cheap/free anyway. 2. Stop carrying on you goose, be mates rates anyway. 1: Hang on, didn't I see on facebook that his partner is pregnant? 1. Wait, nah, didn't I see on Facie that his missus is up the duff ? 2: Yeah, she's almost ready to give birth. They're excited. 2. Yeah she's about to pop , they're stoked 1: Good for them. 1. Good on em 2: He was a party animal in his younger years, but he's more mature and dependable now. 2. He was an absolute loose cannon back in the day but he's settled down now 1: Is that so? Well, anyway I best be on my way. 1. Fair dinkum ? anyway I'd better head 2: Me too. I'm also very busy, but I'll call my friend about your television. 2. Yeah same, I'm flat out but I'll give him a buzz about your telly. 1: Thanks, see you later. Wait, are you going to the pub on Friday? 1. Yeah cheers (You're right)...hooroo... catch you around..aw hang on...are you going to the pub on Friday ? 2: Yeah, they're running a raffle for a tray of assorted meat from the butchers. I never miss it. 2. Yeah they're doing meat tray raffles..wouldn't want to miss it.. 1: No wucken forries(No fucken worries) = Understood. See you later. 1. Right, no wucken furries...see you there ! 2: Goodbye. 2. Catch ya !

7:52 . that is what a Koala actually sounds like .

You know, we keep our toilet rolls that way around so we can see the huntsman spider before our hand is too close to it😂😂😂

Hail stones like that size are rare occurance where I am in Australia, its only when we get one of the those odd weather events. We get the standard tiny stones that sometimes it hails that much, it looks like snow.

Loved the reaction. If someone hasn’t already said it Nimbin is the marijuana capital of Australia which is why the old man was freaking out over the incense.

I used to place the toilet paper face over but now I do it under because the amount of times there was a spider chilling on it hiding was enough to convert me haha

We had a pretty bad hail storm here in Perth 10 or so years ago. Even now sometimes you see a car driving around that you know was damaged in that storm. Looks like it’s been parked next to a golf course for far too long

The little marsupial at 1:27 is a Quokka. They live on Rottnest Island, Western Australia(my hometown). They are everywhere there and very tame.

Glad to see you've upped your mic/headphone/green screen game. Love the vids mate!

Omg at 3:30 old mates got me in tears laughing 😂

We had a really bad hailstorm in Perth in either March 2012 or 2013 and a lot of people's cars got dimpled. My car was undercover and still had three dents from hailstones. Heaps of cars got written of.

Yep, that is actually the legitimate koala mating call. It freaked me out when I first heard it in the park behind my house.

The cute little critter near the start in a Quokka, they live on Rottnest island mostly. An island off the coast near Perth.

When it rains in Australia, it really rains. We have the best storms, especially after a very hot and humid day, we get the southerly buster and then it cools down, until the next time!

I was outside at the Post Office boxes collecting the mail for work when a hail storm hit in Northern Adelaide in Oct 2021. The first thing you hear is a massive roar, like an aeroplane about to crash then the hail hit. I was lucky enough to find a protected alcove near the Post Office boxes to stand in. And still the hail was bouncing up hitting my legs, I had a number of bruises. Some people were caught walking in the car park poor souls. The hail was bigger than golf balls, but not quite as big as a tennis ball (at least were I was) and caused massive damage over the Northern Suburbs of Adelaide... broken skylights, smashed security lighting, roof damage & roof collapses, as well as window damage... and cars, all the work cars and many of my colleagues cars had smashed windscreens, & glass panels. I was lucky I had no windows or windscreen damage, but every panel on all the cars in the area had a dimple effect, including mine. Over 100,000 cars from that incident alone were written off by insurance as irrepairable, including my car. The windscreen/glass contractors were booked solid until Dec for windscreen and car glass repairs. The insurance companies couldn't deal with all the claims being made, it took until Dec for my car to be assessed only to be told it was a technical write off. Some people had to surrender their cars on the spot, my insurer was kind enough and gave me 3 months to surrender my car. I was extremely lucky I wasn't driving when it hit, others were not so lucky, especially those doing 80km on the highways.

Do you know I was down at Semaphore and nothing happened . It went right over Port Adelaide

I love this channel it's so enjoyable to watch any time of day / night

The second video is a Quokka from Rottnest Island.

I’ve been living on the Gold Coast since birth now. 21 years later and I legitimately haven’t seen a spider bigger than a drink coaster… come to think of it I’ve never seen a koala in the wild either

That Sheila talking Aussie was great

Lived near bushland and Koalas for 20 years, Koalas 100% sound exactly like that. It's also super loud at night you can hear em from Kilometres away.

A few years ago we had a massive hail storm like the one in your clips, I was in hospital at the time and there were so many cars that had their windows broken and had massive dents all over the roof and body of the car, it was unreal! I heard some people's insurance covered the damage but others didn't

I live in England and my brother is petrified of squirrels, one attacked him (or so he says), his best man did a PowerPoint presentation during his speech all about squirrels. Yep a mountain lion or bear would have him in conniptions.

Yep! Koala's sound just like that. Usually they're pissed out of their brains, asleep in a tree, but occasionally the males get a bit randy and let everyone know about it. They can spook little kids at night with that growl.

I think with the animal thing, we have some nasty ones here in Aus. But they don't just come strolling into our yards either. Most of the really toxic or dangerous ones you have to go bush to encounter. Varieties of Spiders are the only thing that's pretty much everywhere. But even then each region has its known particular species. Depending on what climate that spider prefers.

The cute little furry animal at 1.28 is a Quokka they are only found on Rottnest Island which is about 12miles off the coast of Fremantle in Western Australia

Tazos were collectable disks with Looney Tunes characters on them. They were only found in Twisties, possibly other potato chips. I think there were 50 tazo disks to collect and you could buy the collectors binder to hold them all if you got the set. They were a thing in Australia in the 90s.

So happy you put toilet paper like me!! In Australia it’s because there could be a spider on the outdoor dunny!

10:50 after one hailstorm in Brisbane, our lawn was mowed, our banana tree was just a wet patch on the ground, and there was a wall of hail on the far side of our living room.

Thats really how a male Koala sounds. Have them here in South Gippy and hear them often. First time I heard it as a kid though it scared the shit out of me.

omg @3:30 nearly died laughing. I feel it so deeply. That saying is the root of our cores.

Firstly mate, just found your channel a week ago and have already binged watches way too much lol, keep up the good work, lovin it. Secondly though, it's funny, as an Aussie myself, I don't get half of this stuff and do wonder if it's a city vs country thing

Nimbin is like the stoner/hippie/crystal capital of Australia. Thats why he was referencing his daughter with all the insense and oils Thats how koalas actually sound. At night in the right area you'll hear them in the trees.
