I did shadow speaking for most parts of the video. Thank you so much for this amazing channel! I'd love to see more authentic content that involves you being outdoors from time to time, it might be a little more demanding for filming and editing, but I reckon it'll be worth it! Also, this is the first time I've heard of Jervis Bay Territory, and you've got me going "alrighty, that's it, I'm gonna go check out this place when I have a chance visiting Down Under". You're legend! Cheers!

I really enjoyed watching this video Pete! I've also learned some new pronounciations like how to read the years including a 0 in them (like 1905, nineteen o five) and how to correctly read the cities in Australia like Canberra (Canbra). My favourite state is Queensland! Many Cheers and have a ripper of a Spring ahead! Waiting for you next video!

Great video! The pronunciation of territory is nearly a tongue twist itself, but my trick is to say “tear a tree”. Although not very environmentally friendly, 😂 it seems way easier to say tear a tree instead of territory.

Wow, as a lifelong Aussie I just learned about the Jervis Bay Territory! Western Australia also had a gold rush in the Kalgoorlie/Coolgardie area, and they're still pulling gold out of the ground via the Superpit. W.A. is also the home of the oldest mineral on earth - a zircon crystal which dates to 4.4 billion years old! Also, the "Piping Shrike" on the SA flag an Australian Magpie!
Awesome video! I learned a lot!!

"New South Wales" sounds cool and majestic in English and Spanish too (Nueva Gales del Sur) 👐
At 15:09 Jervis Bay Territory. Sydneysiders have always pronounced it jar-vis although the locals pronounce it your way.
Thanks Pete for a bit of history though, going to move to SA soon and hopefully increase some of local population with my aussie partner if God will let us, cheers)

Nice video. After moving from Oz to the USA 20 years ago, I've forgotten how to Australian. I've lived in South Australia, Queensland and Alice Springs in the Northern Terror Tree.
"It's likely due to a huge lack of imagination, and the fact that there were no words left in the phrase 'Queen Victoria'." lmfao
Hi Pete, thank you very much for the great video! What an excellent work you have done! 👍👍 It was the exciting trip through the history of Australia. I like the names of the states, cities and places and the way you pronounce them. Good on you, Pete! Thanks again!🙂 If I had a chance to visit your country I would choose Victoria state and the city of Melburne. Also want to see the river Murrey. I remember the very famous Australian mini series "All The Rivers Run" (released in 1983) with an actress, Sigrid Thornton, in a main role. I liked those series sooo much! And that river was Murrey...🚢 P. S. Always so nice to see you, dear Pete! 🤗 🌷🌷🌷 Svetlana.
11:03 bendigo is also world renoun for being the place where rick and morty went to look for a green cube
Its interesting that you say both Western Australia and South Australia as one word even when emphasising the pronunciation
I was checking YouGlish for the right pronunciation of Jervis Bay and yours came up in the results. Now I'm a bit confused. Which one would the more common pronunciation in Australia: dʒɑːvɪs or dʒɜːvɪs?
My favorite fact about Ballarat is that nearby Lake Wendouree is named after an indigenous word that means "go away." Legend has it that a European settler got this word as an answer when he asked an indigenous woman what the lake was called. Probably apocryphal, but who knows?
Great 👍
Your pipeing shrike of South Australia is actually called a Magpie
Thx! I visited Austraia when I was in the Navy. We had a great time, would love to retire there I think. Not sure where though.....possibly Darwin?
South Australia all the way.
Teacher, I noticed that the IPA to the word Tasmania is wrong. Is like South Australia
I'm a fellow Melburnian and you are a very funny man!

For slang, people sometimes shorten ‘New South Wales’ to ‘New South’, mostly only when talking about it as written it would shortened to ‘NSW’.

And NSW secretly means "Newcastle Sydney Wollongong" because the rest of the state doesn't matter. Well, that is how the rest of the state feels sometimes. 75% of the state population lives in the three big cities.
I like Sydney
ACT--the roundabout capital or the speeding capital
I was dreading it . But no, I hear "QueensLAND". Relief. "Queens LND" triggers me something shocking.
Melbourne!
I’ve heard 80k, 60k, 40k years of aboriginal culture. Also, Egyptian hieroglyphs have been found in NSW, (contentious) but experts have dated it 2600bc, Chinese artefacts found in NT, 1400ad.
I was today years old when I learned about Jarvis Bay Territory. Apparently the Qld education system just doesnt include it lol
Australia has always been a piece of land on Earth that should be shared by earthlings
Many of the colonies were states well and truly before Federation. Victoria for example achieved statehoid in 1835
I thought it was named so because the coastline resembled South Wales

You failed to mention that South Australia was freely settled and had no convict population and that also as such it was not originally a crown colony but a province. You also failed to mention the province's original flag contained the image of Britannia (personification of Britain) standing with her arm outstretched towards the image of an indigenous man, sitting on the ground.
I personally think Sydney is the best city in Australia 😁
Convicts that caused trouble in Tasmania were sent to Norfolk Island.

Oh it's definitely an inside joke, whether it's a national one or just a Victorian one is another matter. No idea what the joke is, though, sorry. Maybe something to do with one of our nicknames, like banana benders or cane toads.
Hi! I grew up in Darwin and I have just a little correction from your NT pronunciation. In my opinion, I think you hit the “rail” in Australia a bit too hard, you enunciate just a little too much. It’s funny, I only watched that part but I could tell you were Victorian because of that slip lol. Anyway, great video and that’s the only nitpick I have! Have a great day :)
Re: Tassie and Bogans: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eWhtytKnoLWagNo.html

13:58 "WAL TER" or "WAT LER" ?
Western Australia is our biggest state, but to put things in perspective, New South Wales is larger than Texas and it's only the 3 biggest state here in Australia.

Queensland is one word so the "land" part should be pronounced in the same fashion as you would say england or scotland for example. It is true many Australians incorrectly say Queens land as if it were two words.

Yes. That was the one thing that had me cringing in this video. It's ENS'N, not EN-SINE. My brother was a senior officer in the RAN and I was a Sea Cadet for 5 years. Aussie English should go watch 10 episodes of "McHale's Navy" (which I watched as a child in Sydney) until "Ensign Parker" ("Ens'n Parker") is imprinted on his brain. For once the Yanks got the traditional English pronunciation right, instead of using a "spelling pronunciation".
