These are the best Australian reviews out of all I've seen, showing us proper Auz and putting answers to alot of wondering! Great people looking after you and showing you around! Keep having the best time, memories for life!

My kids growing up had spaghetti on toast nearly everyday for breakfast. From a tin quite sweet and filling. Great to carry with you on long car, camping journey's along with baked beans and spam.Tinned food very handy when your in the outback of Australia sometimes not close to a shop

Wow im absolutely loving your Oz videos! Really interesting to see all the scenery etc and all the pubs/hotels/taverns lol 😅 And the size of those ants!!!! 😮

I explained the other day that they were called hotels because before the eighties they had to offer room accomodation to be eligible for a liquor licence. If you had looked up outside the bar their would have been a second story, usually with a balcony. These pubs (hotels) are all over Australia, and are very often the most impressive building in town. Even small towns with very little else have a beautiful pub built in the 1800’s or early 1900’s. Now, obviously you can have pubs and taverns that are not known as hotels and don’t offer rooms. So basically, hotel is just a traditional name.

Lee it’s tinned spaghetti made by Heinz the same as the baked beans exact same sauce. Beautiful on toast.

Congrats mate, Guildford is the Town I grew up in, before I was sent away to New South Wales with the Australian Army, when I left there in 1967 we did not even have traffic lights

A hotel has accommodation and one or more bars. A tavern has no accommodation but can have one or more bars. Pub is more a generic term for the bars in either a hotel or a tavern.

Taverns are bars and bistros without lodgings and usually purpose built like that. Pubs (the old ones) are usually called hotels because they always included lodgings in the upper floors. Most pubs in Australia are multi storey buildings with a front bar (where the drunks linger), a ladies lounge (many are converted into something else these days) and a restaurant bar area where children are allowed, today in most states there are gambling rooms full of poker machines/pokies (5 reel slot machines), outdoor beer gardens and sometimes a sports bar where you can bet on horses, dogs, field sports, keno and lotto.

You can't beat going deep in the bush. 😂

These Aussie Vlogs are a triumph Lee - congrats on taking I guess a brave decision to make this trip / the episodes are a joy 🎉

Oh boy, Northam was always on my route to Southern Cross, where I worked at the mines 30 years ago. Greetings from a Dutch guy in Madrid...

To clarify. A hotel is residential and the manager ( landlord ) lives there. A Tavern is locked and empty every night, nobody lives on the premises...by law... A pub is just a generic name for a drinking holesame as the UK.....hope that helps.

Mister Macmaster! Like anywhere really when yya visiting it's the places AWAY from.the cities that show the REAL place & how the people really are! You're mate there was a big plus showing you around 👍 really entertaining vlog Lee 🎉

I have lived in WA for 29 years, I've never seen a tarantula spider. I have seen large snakes in my garden and although they are deadly they aren't aggressive, they'll run away if they see you. As will most spiders you come across. Dangers from spiders is often exaggerated for effect to tourists, the really dangerous ones are over the eastern side of the country. I have never seen a spider under a toilet seat, and have lived and worked in the real 'bush' for years. I was in Northam yesterday, there's a cafe in the shopping centre where you parked your car that sells bangers and mash, delicious, and the bangers are large and curved as you described. I have stayed at hotel 190, it's pretty good, and had many lunches at Lucy's. I visit Northam and Toodyay quite regularly with work, he should have shown you Toodyay bakery, they make the best steak and kidney pie I have come across so far. If he had shown you the railway line behind the shops you might have seen one of those huge interstate freight trains with the double stacked sea containers, they're quite impressive, like the ones you see in the US. Northam and Toodyay aren't really the 'bush' as such, you need to get 500-600kms further out for that.

My Mrs has been bitten twice by a python, not poisonous but very sharp teeth and a Redback spider. The python was a pet we were looking after but the spider was while petting a kangaroo at Australia Zoo. It’s actually the insect bites, mosquitoes especially, that can make you quite ill.

That was a long one but still injoyed it mate nice of that bloke to take you out and about showing us more and yh it mad in Feb and it's banging hot it's raining here and cold nothing new ay lol keep them comeing and take care mukka

Many years ago, most pubs provided accommodation and that was why they use the word hotel in the pub name. When motels became popular the number of pubs with accommodation decreased. The Great Western Hotel Motel, built in 1898, (must have a motel attached to it) in Cobar NSW has the longest veranda in Australia. Cobar has a very large open cut copper mine. Great food and huge 'T' Bone steaks. Pubs have an off license (bottle shop) where you can purchase cartons of beer, called slabs.

Such a shame it isn't late winter when you did this drive. It's stunning in August and Sept when the fields are green and the paddocks full of brilliant yellow canola crop.

Dry summer ! 😂🤣😂🤣 oh, sorry, I thought we were on about England ! Obviously, we only have wet summers over here. But we shouldn't complain, a wet summer is better than no summer ! 🤣😂🤣😂👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Hey Lee...most Wetherspoons are hotels with bars and restaurants underneath...thought you would remember that. Thanks for your vlogs, hugs Sue( Woodhall Spa) x

This is Lee at his best ,doing a walk about showing us around this is the mcmaster doing what the mcmaster does best

32!GO says - Love out-of-city towns - real communities.. Perth seemed very sterile. Agree with MrBusandy, Kalgoorlie is interesting but you will need that hat with corks if you visit the open-cast mine. Hay Street is good value and if you feel a little “personal" relief, there’s just a place.or hit the hotel for a tinny of VB Beer. Being a mining town though, everything grinds to sleep early evening as most people are up about 4am to work the mines. Cousins lived in Boulder which is a nuggets throw away. Trip down the mines is good as is the train from Perth to KG on the “Prospector” - you see heaps and more trees than you could shake a koala at. Great videos Lee - keep on keepin’ on! Gee, I'm now writing with an Australian accent - it's the most infectious accent.. IN THE WORLD!!!

"Seemed very sterile"..why? Because it's clean with no litter 🤔

Lee, Traditionally in Australia Hotels have rooms to rent on the upper floor and a pub below, where Pubs have no accommodation.

I am loving this chapter of your journeys 😊

Everything in Australia that walks, crawls or squats in the mud will kill you and use you eyes for gogo juice. I was flying a helicopter from Cairns airport and at the end of the runway was a crocodile farm with what was a 16 foot crocodile grinning at us, if the engine had quit, that's where we would have ended up, nice.

Pubs are still called Pubs, the hotels are just a pub with rooms available.

Hi Lee,another brilliant vlog. Your guide guy was so sweet. These vlogs show a beautiful side of Australia. The roads look so relaxing to drive on. Can't wait for the next edition xx

good you got out into the bush Davey, not a city bush btw. awesome walkabout cheers Dave!

Lee: "Any snakes around here? They won't kill you?". David: "Oh, yes they will kill you". Hilarious

Food starts 21 mins In guys . Looks a decent brekkie . Great job lee

Hi Lee To clear something up for you. In the past pubs/hotels had to provide accommodation for travellers(long distances here). That's where Pub/Hotel comes from. A tavern doesn't have accommodation.

You know what mucker im bloody loving this series of Australia im trying to imigrate as we speak but at 46 its a bit harder I love the content keep it up muck great channel Danny UK

Great video! 😀 After reading the comments about preferences for breakfast, I have to say, each person to his/her own taste. Nobody's right or wrong. It's just food we find acceptable to our own taste and budget.

What a nice guy taking you around to see the sights. I'm loving looking around. Hope you see a real kangaroo lol

Great video Lee. I could see me having Heinz Spaghetti for breakfast. Nice. If you like Milkshakes, consider investing in a metal straw. Paper ones are a waste of space.

This has got to be the best video by a mile..well done.

I'm pretty sure the spaghetti they are referring to is tin spaghetti. It's as dissimilar to italian pasta as baked beans. It's not without its charm, great on toast.

Just call them ‘boozers’ ! No confusion until drinking starts 😂😂

Looks great there wish we still had old school shops in UK

A Tavern in Western Australia is where you go to just drink beer or wine & spirits, tavern's do not have rooms so you cannot stay there, if you have a Hotel you must have rooms by law

Beautiful video, loved all the amazing scenery. You are meeting some wonderful people and I really enjoy all the sights they show you. Great series, well done.

Another top notch Vlog 😊

Lee in India they sometimes call Cafes and Restaurants Hotels! imagine how confused i was

Good Evening Lee and Dave. A very Lovely and i would say Scenic Walk about and a Professional filmed and Edited road trip to various towns. I really did like seeing those Amasing Breakfast Feasts on those Massive plates. This video did have some very Funny moments in it. OMG!!!!! The Killers Ants taking over!!!! I really am Fasinated at what Creatures Australia has to offer and live along side people. I totally agree with you Lee about the Ants and Spiders. I did like the places You and Dave visited. The people you meet Lee, they are so Lovely and Welcoming.I really did enjoy this Film Lee and Dave. I have just Subscribed to Daves Channel and watched his Intro video.

Hi Lee .loving the latest installment of your Australian tour..the places you have been so far have been outstanding .what a great place to be .keep up the good work .Best wishes from Scotland .

Thank you to both of you

When we say "pub", it's informal word for hotel. If we are going to a hotel, for drinks or casual meal (we call "counter meal") we'd say we are going to the pub. Hotels can have accommodation upstairs or just the publican and family living there. Taverns are like bars..no accommodation, generally smaller, and we tend to say tavern in more country settings and bar in the city. But the confusing part is..a flashy expensive hotel like the Hyatt or Sheraton etc, is generally always called "hotel" ..as pub is more casual setting. Clear as mud? 😅

Absolutely loving ur Australia series. I love that you ask questions. I love facts. This is you, Lee at your best!!! Keep it up xx

This was a good watch 😊

Woolworth's supermarkets is a wholly owned Australian company - the current CEO is South African only - coincidentally Woolworth's UK and USA are not related. Wooworths Australia were started in 22 September 1924 and opened first store in New Zealand in 1929 Woolworths Limited (now Woolworths Group) was founded on 22 September 1924 by five Australian entrepreneurs - Percy Christmas, Stanley Chatterton, Cecil Scott Waine, George Creed and Ernest Williams.

There is Woolworths in South Africa but they are owned by a different company which also own the Country Road store in Australia.

That was a very good show! There is so much to see in Western Australia, you can’t possibly see it all in one visit. Hope everyone is looking after you Lee. Best wishes from Richard and Tiffany

OMG ... That was fantastic and i watched it straight through. It surprised me how empty the roads were and gives us a real feeling for how nig that country is. Again everywhere appeared so clean and tidy. The breakfast was first class and those properties appeared very cheap in comparison to the UK. I was waiting for a snake or two to scare the hell out of you but alas, we can`t have everything. It would be nice to see you visit a zoo or reptile house while you are over there so we can at least see your face when creatures of terror are in front of you ..GREAT VIDEO so thank you.

Yep it is a big country for sure. The UK fits into just Western Australia over 10 times. Now we have a population of 2.7million. 🐍 At 59 I've only ever seen one snake in suburbia. A few in the bush, but that's it. 🕷️Spiders are common but mainly Huntsman's & black house spiders. But they are of little threat & aren't aggressive. I caught 2 Huntsman's a couple of days ago on the wall inside & just caught & released them outside 👍 (actually the video is on my 'West Aussie Backyard Nature' channel). I've never been bitten by a spider...or snake. Though I copped a bite from a bullant last week..similar to the ants in this video. Ouch for an hour or so lol ✌️🇦🇺

I think this is the best series you’ve done Lee real and down to earth can’t wait for the next videos 😊👍👍👏👋

Muppet is Beaker!!👍🤣🤣🤣

As a kid in the 50s tinned spaghetti was interchangeable with beans - in fact I think I preferred it. So that pre dates hash browns by years - they only became popular when? In the 90s??? Looks a great place to live. Would someone like to sponsor me to move there please? Spend my last few years in the warm.

Omg another brilliant vlog , you apologised for it being a hour I could have watched for loads more hours , keep up the good work 😊

Catch up later Lee. You look like you are in your element. Be blessed mate 😊❤

So Whats a Motel??? Just loving Perth, really impressed with every video and everyone that's taken you out and shown you around, they have been fun and superb hosts.

Breakfast looked amazing😋

Loving this series, so interesting 😊

Alfred's Kitchen in Guildford has been around since I was young..50 years or so? Used to go there on a chilly night as was famous for its pea and ham soup.

FYI The official name of most Australian pubs includes the word “hotel” because until the 1980s, pubs were required to provide rooms for rent in order to have a liquor license. And until the 1970s, most Australian pubs were segregated by gender. Some had “ladies rooms,” but no women were allowed in the main bar.

A motel is just accommodation, no bar. Just rooms. A hotel has accommodation and a bar. So can have a big hotel with a bar, or a bar (pub) that offers rooms. A tavern is just a bar (pub). No accommodation.

Enjoyed that Lee, a great little walk about, Hotel, pub, Tavern😂😂😂so confusing

I had to laugh when you had the encounter with the ants. 😂 When we lived in a town called Kambalda in the early 70's, which is 383 miles east of Perth, we had moths the size of birds. 😂 I remember my mum panicking when she seen me playing with a spider in my toy car garage. I think it was a Huntsman. 😂 Great video Lee. 👌

Very enjoyable trip with David. We look forward to your daily Australian video. I hope you have time occasionally to relax though, without videoing and editing! Keep up the good work!

I used to have to watch out for the brown snakes (the deadliest in Australia) when I went in and out of the donga. You're forgetting about the jellyfish, cassowaries, sharks and crocs and still there are millions of Australians.

In addition to the definition of a "Hotel" needing to provide accommodation. After a law change licensed venues which did not provide accommodation were called "Taverns" and to totally confuse, they are all generally all referred to as "Pubs"

Great vlog, Dave Bird seems like a top bloke.

Brilliant trip so far mate, you do know that most hotels in Britain have public bars😂. Keep it up, love Oz👍👍
