This is exactly what I was thinking about watching this poorly done video. I live in a very small town in north Florida (even though it's a tourist state my area is not typically a destination area compared to the south end of the state) I have seen several Australians, British, Germans, and more visiting my small town in the last few weeks. Meanwhile most people I know including myself have never been outside the country and don't even own a passport because I never have the vacation time to do so, I only get 5 business days off a year and they aren't even paid days (and don't even get me started on sick days, I get 3 excused sick days with no pay a year meaning if I catch pneumonia I could lose my job because employers can fire you at will here. Covid is the only time my job has given more excused days with pay but that was only in 2020) . One week off is not enough to enjoy going to another country plus it's extremely expensive and when you have no money coming in during that time you end up struggling. So most people I work with either travel a short distance to a state nearby or stay home to spend time with their kids/family because otherwise they are always working 40hrs or more a week. I work in one of the biggest richest retail store companies in the country but they don't give paid vacation time to anyone who isn't management (those people get 2 weeks paid vacation). If I could afford to leave this country even for a few weeks to visit elsewhere I'd do it but I need to keep my job to keep my home so yeah haven't gone on an actual vacation in 8 years.

Three summers ago, Australia reached record temperatures. On the coast it was 45C -- 113 F, Inland and suburbs were 50 C -- 122 F and Central Australia was 58 C --136 F.

The internet issue is a 'You get what you pay for' most of the time. There are still dodgy connections through copper, but they are being replaced with fiber slowly. The better connections with the better providers (HFC / Fiber), don't typically have dropouts. The only time ours dropouts is when I reboot the router. The plans and speeds listed in this video are wildly inaccurate. We don't have data caps. The highest tier may have a cap dependent on price and provider, but it isn't the norm anymore. Mobile (cell) phones do still have data caps. The bigger issue is most retailers over-selling bandwidth. There are a few providers that do make sure their bandwidth blocks are adequate, but they are also the most expensive providers. We pay $85 AUD a month for a 100/40 connection that is rock solid. $120 for a 1000/50. Our upload speeds are shit. Business plans can get 1000/1000 (gigabit symmetrical) through the same connections. This issue of speed tiers is controlled by the NBN here, which wholesales to retailers. They set the allowed down/up speed tiers and retailers can't change them.

It's a right of passage for young Aussies to travel & like many people do coming here to work, it's common for Australians to go work overseas for a while. There is a good reason the Qantas ads "I still call Australia Home" are so loved by Australians. That is when you feel lonely, feeling a long way from home.

I’m from NZ, and the reason the shops and stores close that early ( it’s the same here ) is you need a good work/life balance, which I know is a foreign, and probably insane concept for Americans. But down under, both here and there ( Aus ), we don’t actually live to work, we work to live.

Well, just add a shift or two, you dont need to close store for workers to have good work/life balance, with more workers you can serve more people, it is incredibly stupid to close store at the time the average person clocks out of work It is stupid to say that more store hours = more hours of work for the same workers. Althought some employers might try to exploit that to keep the store open just by shoving overtime to their workers, still employment law should stipulate either that: * Overtime work is paid extra * Penalties for employers that force employees to work overtime

Living in Perth I know I can reach Bali or Jakarta cheaply in 4 hours. Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Brunei are not much further. We go there for visits and we come *home.*

I worked a graveyard / 11 pm to 6 am shift by choice and on holidays by choice. Nobody forced me to do either and if they did I could just quit. For the Americans and foreigners who wanted to use the services of my employer they certainly did not complain we were open. Some people like working crazy hours or on holidays they do not celebrate. Even you saying Australians are paid well but I just watched a video that said the homeless problem in Australia is allegedly at it's all time high? In USA our homeless problem is partly political and that is unfortunate. I had a teacher and he said in one small foreign country which I forgot, they would put all the homeless in jail. He said he never saw a homeless person on his vacation there. I wish I could remember the name of the country but this was many years ago.

Swimming in the ocean is safe from half way up Queensland coast, down to all southern beaches. Its not recommended in the north of Queensland, at certain times of the year, signs are usually posted. Waters in these areas can have Irukandji jellyfish, deadly poisonous. Box jellyfish, and the odd crocodile .Being aware and watchful , also signs is recommended.

Many places in Australia went through a heat wave a couple of years ago lasting weeks irc, peaking at 56⁰ in regions reasonably close to the coast.

As an Australian I find these videos you watch hilarious. Our country is so diverse it is almost impossible to sum up in a short commentary. It is neither as great nor as bad as it is made out to be but honestly it is pretty good - our snowfields get a huge amount of snow, most places have four discernible seasons, inland the heat is savage but at this precise moment I am sitting wrapped up in a blanket. It is 8.6c (about 47.5F) and our houses tend to not be as well insulated. Thanks for the laughs.

Don't listen to an American telling you about Australia, read our comments. In regards to having skills no one has here to be able to live here - that's bad wording. What he should have said is you need skills in areas we have a shortage because our unemployment is really low so we look to skilled overseas workers to help with industries that need workers. You can usually find a list on government sites of the skilled workers we need.

Shops are generally open 9 to 5.30 Mon to Fri. Stores in the major cities close about 7pm. Shopping centres will open until 9pm on Thursday or Friday or both. Supermarkets, Bunnings, Big W, Officeworks and Kmart will open until between 9pm and midnight daily, with some Supermarkets being 24 hours. Weekend trading hours are from 9 or 10 am until 5 or 6 or 7pm. Depends on which state you are in. There are more restrictive hours in WA, QLD or SA. Some stores in WA, SA OR QLD cannot open on Sundays or most public holidays. In other states stores can open when they want, and they choose to open those hours. Store hours are unregulated in other states and territories, so they can open 24/7 if they want except for Christmas Day, Good Friday, Anzac Day or Easter Sunday.

It's been over five years since I left Australia. Despite the previous commenters stating that shops do stay open in the city, Perth had only had shop licenses that allowed opening past 6PM for about five years. As far as feeling isolated.... most mundanes will have close relations and not be at all isolated or lonely whereas certain alternative subcultures that are not interested in sport or mindless TV will be tread on. Most people with any sense are aware of what animals constitute a danger and how to avoid them plus also don't ignore signs made for their safety just because they feel safe (or haven't seen a "log" floating in the water). I have no idea what internet speeds are at the moment but over a decade ago they were comparatively shite unless you were in specific locations, because of politics. Despite anything else the mixture of hot cars and long distances combined with mostly unchanging landscape means that falling asleep at the wheel is a very real risk.

As with a lot of such projects there were time pressures, so when possible they used the easiest solution, so things occasionally fall through the cracks. Strangely the US software didn't have an asset to generate Kangaroos, so taking the easiest solution. They just used the default squad of solider and reskinned them as Kangaroos intending to come back later and when they had generated the proper the proper asset. When they put RAAF pilots into test it they were generally pleased but one pilot did complain that while flying low over a hill he was shot down by a Kangaroo with a stinger.

Really, Ryan you would be learning far more about our country from the comments we post than from all the non-Aussie videos. A lot of this was rubbish! I am with Optus for phone etc, live in country Queensland and only use my mobile phone to share my data with my computer and never have a problem with internet speeds and access. Also Optus is reasonable costs. If you are a tradie, i e carpenter etc we are always short of such skills so easier to migrate, also medical jobs are always available, teachers from the UK get in easily so should be okay for US too. It is a big country so things differ from place to place but in Queensland, even in rural towns, most supermarkets stay open till 9 pm, many restaurants are open till late, even country pubs are open till 11pm. Some places like service stations are 24 hour. Small country towns tend to have most businesses close on a Sunday because a lot of country folk like to chill at home, and/or church. Houses are expensive in the southern states but are climbing in cost now in Queensland because southerners have been moving and buying in Brisbane etc. Smaller cities and towns are much cheaper. Travel... a lot of us fly within Australia and overseas. I fly around the country and hire a car when I want to vacation. I don't usually watch such channels but stumbled upon yours and enjoy your comments, thanks.

There have only been two recorded deaths from cassowaries, one over a century ago which was believed to be self-defence (the person it killed was hunting and hurting it), and the other, in 2016, was in AMERICA, because someone was keeping it as an exotic pet. They’re an endangered species and very beautiful birds. Also you can usually get a good internet plan here (unlimited data for $55-70 a month), and it only usually lags if you’re in the hills or the outback And regarding the stores closing early we do have late-night shopping on Thursdays or Saturdays depending on the area

Yes, we have gained independence from Britain, but NOT the British Royal family, there is a significant difference.

I cannot wait until Lizzo karks it, hopes its soon, so Albo can bring on a referendum and we can have the GG become the non Executive Head in their own right.

The thing about Australia is that the temperatures are not actually that high in comparison to some other countries, but there is an extremely high amount of uv radiation because of its position in the southern hemisphere and the way the earth orbits elliptically. This means when comparing a day in the US where it is at say 105 Fahrenheit vs Australia at the same temp, a person would get sun burnt much quicker in Australia and can only spend limited time outside without sunscreen compared to the US. So even if the temp ain't that high, the effect and feel of the heat is bad.

A friend of mine drove from Perth WA to the Sunshine Coast, 47 hours drive time. She loved every minute of the drive. Aussies have no problem with just jumping on a plane and heading to the other side of the planet! In fact a lot of Aussies had withdrawal symptoms from not to be able to travel interstate or overseas due to COVID!

I live in the Western suburbs of Sydney, like an hour from the beach by car. My house is valued at $2.2 million and I live in what is considered a pretty low class area. The house prices around here, even in our most impoverished suburbs are astronomically high.

Immigration - there’s a skills list, check it out. They’re not necessarily high skills just skill shortages in Australia. The guy in the video gets a lot of stuff wrong. The other thing you can do is just apply for jobs directly. Or come as a student, there's a pathway to residency and citizenship for graduates.

I moved to Australia nearly 4 years ago now from England. I came over and applied for a partner visa. I didn't need a skill set... I didn't need to have loads of money in the bank but my now husband had to be my financial sponsor. Yes the process is long and a little complicated but after 3 1/2 years I am now a permanent resident and loving the life.

I’m Australia and our climate is crazy right now, here is a summary, In 2019 in nearly all of Australia had 40 degrees celious+. In 2022 Queensland and Northern Territory had over 30 degrees Celsius heatwave in November while at the same Victoria was still having record snow.

There r corrections on the info others have corrected below e.g. our car stats less then half for accidents then the US!. The internet has improved but could be faster . I do not notice it as I am in a two person household and pay for the top tier speed . House prices within twenty km of Melbourne and Sydney is very high but gets cheaper as u move out more. Apartments are way cheaper though and the smaller cities r much cheaper. As for migration we have a very long list of trades skills and professional skills we desperately need right now. Info on this can be easily searched. We do not suffer higher mental issues relative to the US, and there is now a massive network of top psychiatric services free for everyone under 26 . Gvt also provides ten free sessions a year with a psychologist to everyone . Always room for improvement. I do not feel isolated do not know where he comes up with that. We travel a lot but to be honest I could never live in a densely populated country we covet space. Other thing to say is we r not a religious country like the US so we have a progressive attitude especially in our three largest cities. Also in sophisticated capital city areas Trumpism with a is an absolute no no. U seem to fit the criteria of the kind of migrant we welcome . Perhaps get a years working visa and make your mind up then. U lose nothing just gain the experience of living in another country. I love Victoria but think Tasmania is utterly beautiful so want to retire there near Hobart away from any scorching summers!

Ryan, I told you this on another video, but I don’t think you read the comments. The creature that has killed more Australians than any other is “THE HORSE.” 77 people were killed by horses between 2008 and 2017. The next biggest killer was cows, and for both of them these were mainly accidents on rural properties. As an older guy, I’ve been in the bush, the deserts, and the cities and never been bitten by anything. As for the beaches, the drama queen talking doesn’t tell you that most of the dangerous sea creatures are found at the northern end of Australia. Go to the beach in Melbourne or Sydney for example, you won’t find many sharks around. Popular beaches also have warning systems in case the odd shark does try to come close. More than 50 years of swimming in beaches and I’m still alive. If you want to laugh your head off, search for, “Issak Butterfield, 10 reasons not to visit Australia.” This crazy Aussie goes nuts over an English video, putting Australia down.

The lowest temperature ever recorded in Australia is −23.0 °C (−9.4 °F), at Charlotte Pass, New South Wales, on 29 June 1994.

Hmm not really that isolated I don't think. We are on Asia's doostep. We travel there a lot. Flights are pretty cheap

To become a permanent resident in Australia you need to have a “skill set” that is in demand. For example that Psychologist shortage the vid mentioned. There’s a long list of professions that are desirable in Australia because of our low population & it’s smart to cultivate that. Also, as you have seen, we have a good benefits scheme here & it’s not going to keep up if we overload on people who cannot work or contribute to the economy. Makes perfect sense really 🤷🏼‍♀️

Australia changes so rapidly. I have very fast internet "optical fibre into the house", unlimited data at 35 bucks a month, can use computers and other devices while watching Netflix and never a buffer, I am completely happy with it. Houses are now far more expensive than in that video, and it was inaccurate in a few things. But thanks for the fun watch. BTW, I feel I am a good driver lol

Most shops are open Saturday and Sunday

The comments by the narrator in the video about the internet are rubbish. It's nowhere near as bad as that. I've NEVER had a problem with it. As for the isolation, it's GREAT! I travelled around Europe, worked in England etc, in 1974-75. Back them a LOT of people looked down on Australians and were sarcastic, rude etc. Especially the English. We were considered unsophisticated hicks, but NOW (and it has been this way for a few decades now) people are envious BECAUSE of the isolation we have, we're safe, we have a stable government (depending on which party is in - just kidding), the place is beautiful, we really are "the lucky country". Those ones who were critical have bothered to take their snobby noses out of their rear ends and have done some research. We LIKE our isolation and have no qualms about driving clear across the country, people do it as an adventure. I have - twice. I know of people who drive from Kalgoorlie to Perth to see a medical specialist and then drive home again, all on the same day! 593km, about 6.5 hours drive each way. I keep in touch with a family member who moved to America and it's no big deal to get plenty of time when we're both up and awake.

They're just making money off other peoples" small videos and that's not right. I'm not into video games, I've got better things to do with my limited time.
