Exactly! You can’t play goon ‘o fortune without it!!!

The “Hills Hoist” is actually a very important in Australian cultural identity- it was one of the very first Australian inventions that was used by common people all over Australia and was an object that was in nearly every backyard in Australia. It was used by children to swing around on and was incorporated into children’s play to be turned into magical castles with some clean sheets. It was also an example of how an Australian battler could Invent something that would improve the world and make him a fortune. One of the Australian identity is that we have is that of buying a house with a backyard that includes a pumpkin patch and a hills hoist.... We even have a song that everyone knows the words of that incorporates this imagery into the song.... It goes something like “give me a home amongst the gum trees with lots of Plumtree a sheep or two and a kangaroo... a close line out the back... Veranda out the front and an old rocking chair”

So it might be an Australian invention, and I do remember seeing a lot of them when I've been down there, but then again I see them everywhere I go. Never occurred to me that Australians would consider them iconic.

I'm an Australian myself, and I think JJ might be overestimating how much Aussie history most people know. But in general, the cynic in me says that they are avoiding anything controversial or serious at all, but in saying that Hills Hoists are a big deal.

My grandfather was a jackaroo… It’s a type of worker amongst the cattle stations or shearing stations in the outback who usually did all the odd jobs. If they went out and repaired the fenceline and counted the livestock they were called Boundry riders. Jackaroos look after the livestock and help with the rounding up and sharing… Although shearer’s do most of the shearing work. The jackaroo is the male version the jillaroo is the female version.

Hills Hoist is a HUGE part of Australian life. It might seem like just a clothes line, but we all had them in the backyard, and when Mum wasn’t looking.... it was a swing set to play on.... just don’t get caught or you won’t get your cup of Milo at lunchtime 🤣

Parkes was important enough that they named a town after him, as well as a dozen other things. He could hardly be a PM of Australia because Australia didn’t exist. He was however the Premier of NSW, the founding and most important colony, for a record 5 terms. That the most powerful premier sought a united country rather than champion individual “states rights” was the driving force behind the unification. Federal Govt necessarily means less power for your own state.

Yeah he really got federation happening. If he hadn’t died five years before 1901 I think he would have been remembered more. Although he helped achieve federation, he wasn’t there to write the constitution or serve in federal parliament. But I was taught about him at school. Like many times. He was always featured in any chapter on federation or colonial NSW.

The Hills Hoist is one of the most famous and iconic Australian inventions. Everyone has one in their backyard.

Hah, 'founding father'. That's a good one mate.

07:10 hills hoist so culterually significant to us that is made it into Sydney Olympic opening ceremony

The Hill's Hoist is more than just a clothesline - it's an iconic fixture of every backyard, something kids for generations have been yelled at for swinging on. I think in the popular imagination it conjures nostalgia for backyard cricket matches and barbies on hot summer days. I think now they're slowly starting to disappear from backyards with just about every house having a clothes dryer these days, but at least for now they're pretty iconic.

As an Australian E, eskys are everywhere, but more importantly, just like britain calling all vacuum cleaners "hoovers" we often call ice boxes "eskys" I agree with the rest of the comments, our history schooling of our own country doesn't really talk about the founders, but those Hills hoist clotheslines are *everywhere* . I haven't seen an Iced Vovo in ages they are sickeningly sweet. Go for the other bickies A jackaroo/jillaroo is like an apprentice farmer! They're fairly respected too, a lot of them are being trained to take over the farms as they move away from being family businesses (although they can still be family!) Meat pies are usually Steak/beef. If it's a different meat it'll state it, "chicken and vegetable" is also quite common.

Meat pie is my surable answer for letter "M" because this is the national food of Australia

B: Fine C: Fine (Come on Chris! You should have guessed that!) D: Fine E: An interesting choice. Emu or eucalyptus would have both been good choices. (I can't believe JJ pronounced Emu as 'Emoo'. It's pronounced 'Eem-you'. I hope my spelling of the pronunciation was okay.) F: Fine although I don't watch it. G: G'day is interesting. I wouldn't put a phrase on a coin. I think Gallipoli would have been a could choice. H: I wouldn't think about putting a washing line on a coin. I: I haven't tried an iced vovo in my life. I think it should be Steve Irwin. J: I don't even know what 'Jackaroo and Jillaroo' refers to. It should have been something like Joey. K: It's obvious that it's a kangaroo but Chris going with Koala is a fair play. L: Yummy M: Also yum. I love meat pies. I hope you find this interesting.

They are genuinely that culturally significant. If I can ever afford my own home one day, I plan to throw out whatever modern garbage has been put up, to replace it with a classic vintage hills hoist. Not only are they a beloved source of entertainment for drunk youths, we climbed them and spun round them as kids, we all had a friend or at very least a friend of a friend who's family dog liked to chomp on a rope that had been tied to it and spin around with it, the height was adjustable so you don't smash your head on it and best of all they are near indestructible. Oh yeah and they're an Australian invention.

First British collectibles, now Australian! Imagine if every country issued 26 alphabetical collectible coins! Awesome vid too!

No.

The coins are a marketing device instigated by Australia Post, and they were not released directly into general circulation. That's why a lot of the choices are a bit "Really? You went with that?". You could only obtain them in your change from a purchase at an Australia Post outlet, or through direct purchase from the mint. There will be some in general circulation now.

I love your videos

I love how Chris is guessing normal things and JJ makes all these super n e r d y guesses 🙃

JJ's answers are pretty try hard. We don't take ourselves as seriously as he seems to think.

The point is that Canadians DO take themselves very seriously - except in Quebec, bless them.

I’m Australian and I remember that I always was looking for the coins
