Speaking as an Aussie: The "c'" word is only used in very specific contexts. Hardly any woman will use it, and the kind of man ( or even woman) who would use it in front of women and children or their elders, or in public- say in a shop or restaurant -- is a person with aggression issues, the kind of person it is not safe for anyone of any gender or age to be around. Its use is a male subculture thing. If you are male, you MIGHT hear it used in a male-only conversation; it means that the speaker is trying to impress you and establish his dominance in your group. Definitely a testosterone-fueled behaviour.

Most of our mammals are nocturnal so that’s when they’re out and about and unfortunately hit by cars, they often cross roads (especially the further inland you go) to cross into different areas of bushland. Kangaroos also like to hang out in large groups, so you’ll often see them chilling in fields or whatever in the early mornings, my university backed a nature reserve so there were always large groups of them chilling around for my morning walk into campus. Wallabies are a little more solitary, based on my own experience, very cute. I usually see them sitting watching people by the road in the morning, I see less dead wallabies as compared to wombats and kangaroos.

If you are warning tourists about Drop Bears, you are an honourary Aussie. Well done, mate.

We have a road kill service, they're called wedge tail eagles. If you drive through the centre after some rain, the animals are all on the road drinking from the puddles. They're also attracted by the grass that grows in the drainage ditches along the side of the road. If a big road train comes through when a mob of roos are on the road then it's total carnage. Those trucks stop for nobody.

Animals get dazed by the headlights and they lose their orientation. If its safe to do so, drivers will usually pull over and try to move the roadkill off of the road so that other road users aren't at risk of hitting it and so that other wild animals who are likely to feed on the roadkill aren't at risk of getting hit by a car. Hope that helps :)

Maaannn I really want to be there for your first day seeing a quokka when you come to Perth

Mate I’m from the Bush, the outback as you call it. Most road kill is near roads because it’s such a bay country, the driest continent on the planet, so when it rains even if you only get say 2 millimeters, on a bitumen road the water trickles of the road and so the end be of the road and surrounding gullies etc etc, probably get the equivalent of 6 or 8 millilitres. Just like water running of a house roof and into the gutters then into a water tank. So the grass near a road will often be very green and I mean right at the edge and perhaps within a few meters either side. Also some will collect in small holes just off the road for drinking for a few days until the sun evaporates it. Snakes will come for the warmth left in the road during the night and probably chasing small marsupials like rats or mice etc. 👍

The roadkill point is very true. When I drive 300-400 km out of the city into the centre of the state I see a lot more also, and have sadly hit quite a few. Thankfully I was always in the 4WD with a bull bar, so no real damage to the car. Still sad when they jump out right in front with no chance to stop.

Lived near the bush, Could hand feed the Maggies, never swooped us.Had one with a bad leg called Mr Hoppy.

The roads have spoon drains either side. This encourages grasses to grow there. Animals are attracted to it as food.

Snakes like the warmth of the road but most other animals go to the side of roads to eat greener/fresh grass. The water runs of the road which means the grass right beside is greener.

Good to know you are up to speed on the dreaded Drop Bear.

In Queensland we have a suburb called “Surfers Paradise” and of course there’s “Surfers Paradise School”. Most tourists think this is the school that exclusively teaches Aussies (pronounced Ozzies) how to surf. 😂 🇦🇺

Drop-bears hate salty tastes and smells. To avoid drop-bear attacks, fill your ears with vegemite before leaving the house. The strong salty smell and taste will not stop them from jumping on you, but once they smell the vegemite, they will run away, and you should be pretty safe after that.

When I go to US and get petrol, I find it strange to have to pay first. They say how much do you want and I say I want to fill the tank. And do not know exactly how much it will take. Here I can fill it up and then pay whatever the bill comes to.

There is more green grass on the sides of the roads, which is what draws the Roos. They then get dazed by the headlights and get skittish at their shadow from the headlights so they try to get away from there shadow's. Hence the road kill.

I did a really bad job at explaining my opinion of a "stereotypical Australian". I think that is because like any country, you can't make a stereotype that fits everyone. A more accurate statement of what I meant by #10 is "You will be shocked that most Australians don't fit the surfer dude stereotype. I was expecting more 'pretty beach boys' but found more guys who dress rough. That is simply because a scrappy look is kind of in style in Australia at the moment (ie the mullet). I also had no idea what a bogan was before coming here and they also often fit that 'scrappy look' stereotype." I should avoid including stereotype in my "top 10 lists" and will do better in the future.

For Quokka, the best way to say it is, kwaa kuh.

Tou mentioned the vast distances in Australia which is why most Australians is if asked how far somewhere is you'll get a time not distance. Eg. How far is it to Melbourne from Sydney? 9 hours (driving)

Drop bears only tend to attack foreigners. Actually the reason Australians eat Vegimite, is because by eating it your body develops pheromones that over time act as a repellent to drop bears. Most Australians think they eat Vegimite for the taste, but actually it was introduced to reduce drop bear attacks. The best way for people to prevent drop bear attacks if they are from overseas is to either eat copious amounts of Vegimite, or to smear it over their face if heading into a place away from the city with trees. For some unknown reason, drop bears tend to attack women, particularly Scandinavian or blonde women. Their method of attack is to drop from a tree onto your face or head and use their claws and teeth. They don't actually eat people it's a territorial thing.

Young disrespectful people may use the C word, however those with respect for themselves and others DONOT use it as given word. So don't be fooled by those you hang around with. I appreciate your value of self by not buying into the disrespect🙏🧡

Here’s some thing that most Americans get wrong with pronunciation- Emu is eem-you, not ee-moo Aussie is Ozzy, not aw-see Similarly, it’s Oz-trail-ya, not aw-stray-lee-ah Quokkas are kwok-ah, not kwoah-ka

Or you can say “Straya”

Im an Aussie, and it must be the circles you mix with, cause the C word, though it does get used, is not as common as you think. Or maybe not in classier areas like Melbourne, you hardly ever hear it.

What are your thoughts on sports played in Australia vs America ? Along with products you wish you could take with you ?to either country that were readily available for you access.Like e.g. General Motors ,Toyota Land cruiser, Heinz , Bega smooth peanut butter,

if you're gonna warn people about the drop bears then you also need to tell em to watch out for the rollie pollie snakes.

5:15, as an Australian, my one defence against this point is it is hard to slam the brakes in time when the kangaroos literally jump in front of your fucking car. Especially on highways, where you are going at around 100 kilometres an hour.

The C Word IS a bad word!!!!🇦🇺♥️TinaNeilsen

Magpies do not ever go for the eyeballs. Rather they might inflict a gash on the scalp with their beak ,which may need stitches.

Slight FYI - The animals are venomous. They are not poisonous. It's seems like a small difference, but it's pretty important.

Animals eat at the sides of roads because that is where the grass is usually lushest, receiving water that runs off the road pavement

I think that metropolitan magpies swoop more as they get more random people in their nesting zones. Out in the country they swoop less cause they know everyone and share food with the farm animals that get fed. Plenty in my horse paddock.

Irukanji jellyfish is very small and deadly.

Seeing a dead kangaroo as the first kangaroo people see is as a tourist is very common

Loving the comments! I would love to know where you have been and who you have spent your time with to get these facts!

drop bears will get ya, it ain’t a game 😭

Not sure if you’re aware, but the 2 animals on our crest, the kangaroo & the emu, are unable to walk/hop backwards.

Kangaroos, crocodiles, emus, camel Buffalo are a few animals we also eat in Australia

You just passed the citizenship test with the warning about Drop Bears.
