Buy food from green grocer for fresher fruit and vegetables. Supermarket produce has been in storage or in transit for a long time. Also, room temperature in much of Oz is warmer than UK. So food left in fruit bowls is on power decay. Especially if kept near apples. Buy small batches to eat immediately then replenish from green grocer. Fridges dry produce more quickly.

Ive lived in 20 countries and very much agree with both this video and the 10 likes video. Australia is amazing and the safety aspect is such a number one for me. Re the ozone layer, there are no countries without an ozone layer. Though sun damage is a concern, the ozone hole has never reached Australia. And contrary to another popular belief - it is not a hole that exists all year round.

Born and lived here all my 75 years. I can't disagree with you in the main. As for birds I like it the way it is. Cost of living can be ridiculous and there is a suggestion that the duopoly that exists here is the problem. Woolworths and Coles are not out to make life easier. Their prices are way too high and they take advantage of little competition. I understand the ACCC is looking into it too. The sun, yes, it can be severe. We have the worst rates of melanoma in the world. I have travelled a lot around the world and I wouldn't live anywhere else though. Hope everything works out for you.

Fruit and vegetables normally last a week or 2 to 3 weeks in the fridge . If you go to the supermarket and see special and quick sale , they only last for a day . People buy them because they are cheap . Uk weather generally is cooler so the fruit and vegetables may not rot so quickly . Supermarkets store produce for a period of time in their cool rooms , so I never buy from them , because they are nit fresh . I buy my fruit and veg from Flemington markets Sydney but direct from the growers. The produce lady 2 to 3 weeks , so I never have that problem . Most people in Australia obey road rules . The worst drivers are people who come from countries that have no real road rules and they drive all over the place .So when they move to Australia , they drove like back in their birth country . There is even bad drivers in the UK . You can find this problem everywhere .No country is perfect on this planet and if we learn to accept it , it makes life much easier . You have done terrific job promoting and appreciating the beauty of Australia . You have put a lot of time and effort into your videos . So give yourself a pat on your back .

Eventually you can get rid of cockroaches if your fastidious about food particles. If you want things cheap you have to look around a bit re( disher washer tablets and a whole lot more). The sun is strong however the hole in the Ozone layer over Australia vhad closed up. Making friends here is the same as anywhere else; You have to get out mix more develop interests of your own and a future plan with goals and new interests... Unconditional love is the only thing in life that that is worthwhile; Every thing else involves putting yourself out to some degree.😊.

The Bird. I thought it was a Magpie, but I'm pretty sure it's a Magpie Lark. We called them Peewees when we were kids because of their call. You need a screen on your balcony door. It will keep the bugs, and the birds, out. Most of our fruit and vegetables are seasonal, and come from Australia. Maybe you should ask why the fresh produce in the UK doesn't go off. If it's going off too quickly, you probably bought stuff that was too ripe, which is OK if you eat it quickly, store it in the fridge, or cut it up and freeze it. Just buy fruit that isn't as ripe, and let it ripen at home. The reason the Sun is so strong here is because the Earth's orbit isn't a perfect circle, and our Summer coincides with the Earth being closest to the Sun (Perihelion). It's only 3% closer, but it causes a 7% increase in solar UV intensity. Prices for sure. I go to the supermarket, get a few items (some on special), and the cost still surprises me.

Magpies (the birds) swoop during mating season between August and October if you are near their nests or if they see you as a threat.

Feed the bird a bit of fresh raw meet one day. Then wait a week and leave another piece.

Since you are a male, the bird may feel threatened by your aroma. Help it to relax.

Wages are better than average and taxes are less than both Germany and Sweden. Birds are great here and noisy, but that makes us unique, Europeans cant believe how noisy birds here are, been swooped many times but only during mating and nesting season. In Melbourne you will not need sun screen that often and i am North European, hats, long sleeve between 12 and 5pm.

It's always amusing to me when people move half way around the world then are surprised things aren't the same as from where they're from. I was kind of with you at the start, then you just got silly. And then you just out and out lied. 1. Australia is huge with a lot of inhospitable land. Yes, it is not going to be "walkable" in quite a lot of places. We do have good PT in areas and terrible in others, so it can be hit and miss. But as I said, Australia is huge. Yes our drivers suck. Watch one video on dashcams Australia and you'll see just how bad some are. Or just look at our road toll. 2. Our weather is defined by our location on earth. It's not something we can control. Get over it. 3. As per point 2, but change weather to location. If you want to live closer to home, why did you travel half way around the world? 4. Our wildlife. Really? How about just getting a mesh sliding door? 5. Buy fresh produce from a fruit store or fresh farmers market. Store said items in the fridge. 6. Maybe instead of expecting others to come to you, join some social groups and make an effort to get to know others and make friends. You know, how people did before the internet? 7. Things in Australia are expensive and travel is even worse. Yes flights are expensive and there is probably some price gouging going on, but you can find cheap flights. Or just drive. Or get a greyhound bus. 8. Our immigration policy doesn't have a great track record. 9. The sun? Oh FFS. Slip, slop, slap. Easy. No ozone layer over Australia? Are you smoking crack? No, really, are you smoking crack? 10. Our cost of living is terrible. Agreed. Some of that is due to transport and import costs, some is due to price gouging. But if you plan your shopping you can get some good deals. You list things here that are quite petty and in the case of the ozone layer are just factually wrong. You seemed quite self absorbed with things that make your life easier and to be honest, kinda not surprised you're having issues making friends. You chose to make this video and you chose what to put on this list. You said you have been living here for two years and this is the best you can do? Some superficial crap and a lie? You must have a decent understanding of Australia by now and could have talked about much better things but instead you chose to complain about our weather and the distance it is from the UK. When is your flight home? Good luck to you.
