Hahaha I've no idea why some people get offended though I am a bit confused as to why people would tell you that Australia doesn't get cold?? Weird!

Aussies are pretty rude on sites like this and are great at being smart arses even when they know someone is from overseas and won't say something perfectly or realize something about a new country. So don't sweat the rude bastards - and yes I am an Aussie

Where you pay $7 for Bananas ?-Which time of year was it? I can go to my local Aldi &buy them for $3AU per kilo, maybe $3.50-$3.60/kg at Woolworths/Coles. High wages= high prices. It’s all relative. Australia has a high Alcohol tax, so the stronger the alcohol like whiskey or vodka, then the tax will be higher than it is on a beer. By the way, where do you get a bottle ( when you say bottle , I hope you mean a 700ml bottle) of Vodka for €4 ? You smuggled it over from Poland? Yes alcohol is cheaper i Europe overall, but Europeans don’t drink as much as Aussie’s do( per person) ,so the Alcohol doesn’t need to have such highs taxes on it..

Nothing offensive in your vid, must have been a few that were fragile.

I agree with what you've said. Re the size of the country, it's not unusual to accept the information on an intellectual basis but still be surprised by the reality. I knew a fellow who's wife's parents were German, after reunification there were a lot of visits by relations who hadn't seen each other in years. I heard a few stories....

Technically not an island since an island is defined as being subcontinental in size.

And bloody huge!

@@gbsailing9436 that is what my sister in-law said to me the other night!!

Panzerkampfwagen It’s still surrounded by water so technically a fucking island!

@@gbsailing9436 No, because Australia is not subcontinental in size. Plus have you ever looked at a map? Every landmass is surrounded by water. Is everything on Earth an island?

Hahaha 😂😂 getting there

Hahaha yeah i believe that is the hardest thing for people to understand, the difference between "yeah nah" and "nah yeah"

@@travelwithlille Snakes and spiders yeah nah Flies nah yeah

She needs to work on 'heaps' a little more.

haha was going to say this too. i heard the casual 'yeah nah' being slipped into the sentence, i was like, 1.5 years is starting to leave its mark.

That what i thought too.

Same!

SAME

Some people just gotta share the bad vibe huh

@@lucia-mariap.9274 Yep

A common misconception about Australia from certain countries is that it’s always hot, I mean remember the wildfires? But yeah that’s definitely one thing you should do before moving to a while different country

@@lilhonni This isn't a tropical island we are the basically the size of the USA

Whenever I go on holiday I check the weather patterns from previous year as well as days leading up to my holiday. This is regardless of what I heard from people.

Thanks dan 💥 and yeahhh getting there haha

Ah danke dir ❤️❤️

Yeah true! I‘m pretty sure i said that in the video tho

We haven't had a death from funnel web bites since the antivenom was discovered back in 1980, this is from the Australian Museum: "There have been no deaths in Australia from a confirmed spider bite since 1979. An effective antivenom for Redback Spiders was introduced in 1956, and one for funnel-web spiders in 1980. These are the only two spiders that have caused deaths in Australia in the past"

Wrong girl to ask. Watch 50 KZfaq videos produced by backpackers on travel in Australia and you'll learn the truth. Come in early autumn (feb) and stay through spring (nov), not summer if you can't handle 32 to 36c and 75 to100% humidity in Queensland or 34 to 42c heat with less humidity in N.S.W. The sun is not just hot here in summer, it stings until you can't stand it. Long shirts, hats and sunscreen, mandator

@@pistolpeds HI ! thank you so much for your advice! that's helpful a lot!

Yeah agreed, don't use information from this girl, no facts. I lived in Europe for 10 years I have a Dutch wife we shopped in Germany before returning to Australia we decided to do a comparison of normal shipping prices. In the end it's all comparable, yes some things are more expensive and also cheaper, day to day living prices are comparable in the end. Also if you do compare prices make sure to do it correctly, brand for brand or house brand for house brand.

I do get it. I just don’t get why ordering a salad costs $18 and a burger is $10 even on a cattle farm you get $24 an hour so why is unhealthy food always so much cheaper?

And also you would be surprised how many vegetables and fruit we picked in an hour 😅

travelwithlille you’re not wrong, I was just poking fun a bit! All the shit processed food in the supermarket is also pretty cheap even though it includes a 10% GST in the price whereas fresh produce does not. Another good example would be in the fresh produce section often there will be both local and imported garlic (often from Japan but sometimes Europe). The local garlic will be 50% more or sometimes even double the price.

@@travelwithlille The obvious answer is that there is little labour involved in making the ingredients for junk food.

@@travelwithlille because unhealthy food is shit

I know right? 😂 it’s crazy

And ahhh thank you so much! I hope you’re safe now in Germany 🖤

If you drive for five hours in one direction how many countries did you go through? I drive five hours and haven't left my state, and it's one of the small ones.

Gus Driving In Australia it depends in which direction I drive and where I start. In Germany you could easily reach up to 3 countries within 5 hours!

@@mausifreak98 it's a wonderful world. Once this virus has had its time we can all enjoy traveling again. My own channel features my long drives as I travel my little part of the world for work. Very little production involved :)

G'day from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺 l was born and raised here in Australia 🇦🇺😁👍 Australia is the size of the moon 🌙 lt takes 30 days to drive all around Australia. And yes, it's very expensive here 💵 As an Aussie, I don't drink alcohol or smoke. Anyway, Australia has a new streaming service now if you wanna check it out, it called Binge www.binge.com.au, it's from $10 a month . Also check out the Just watch app, it has all streaming apps in the one app www.justwatch.com/

Hey mate. I’m deciding on moving to Sydney or Melbourne , I wanna go in October but because of corona I might have to wait until December

Big Time Rusher same with me bro

Big Time Rusher im going soon!! Pass me ur ig

@Timyra Jenkins Spider's are not that big, and if you're in the city, you probably won't see any. As for snakes , l haven't seen one in the 43 years l've been here in Melbourne. Visa is 3 months, l think you can get it extended. You need at least $6,000 Australian dollars a month, especially if you're gonna travel around nearly every day. Don't have more that $10,000 in cash on you when you arrive at an Australian airport otherwise you will get a fine. And don't have any porn on your phone, because custom officials at the airport will destroy your phone. And you will have to buy a new one. And don't bring food, it might get destroyed too. I suggest you watch these videos on Australia's boader security m.kzfaq.info/sun/PLAgn5We8vevKkTCgCIpNkjrsvC6pjTLYz I'm on LinkedIn if you wanna connect with me on there www.linkedin.com/in/rose-fernandez-953a6b1a9

Thank you! Yeah I love it!

Vielen vielen Dank! 🌞

So true! Especially in cities like sydney or Melbourne bouncers always do it! Especially to boys

Some places in Brisbane scan your retinas at the door, I've been refused entry to many of them...

Ahh thanks girl 🤟🏼

There is a lot of snow in the Snowy Mountains

Ah thank you! I had English in school and always watched a lot of KZfaq and movies in English. I also started dating someone from England which helped a lot ❣️

whitetulips oo im learning german amm.. ich wohne im irland

She does have a very good command of the english language. Its really pathetic on Australia and even my beloved USA that we aren't forced to take a foreign language throughout all of school. My kids, they had to do a term of something, and that was it; satisfied their school requirements in Victoria. In america, we had to do at least 1 year.. but still pales in comparison to somewhere like Germany. Really a sad situation for us. Wish we had to learn something from a young age and stick with it through 10 or so years of school. World would be a different place. Glad you loving australia tho.. best thing i did was move here 20 years ago

mfguiosa s . What absolute rubbish. The moment she spoke I knew she had a strong English accent, regardless of where she's from.

I always thought the same way. When I meet people from other countries who are absolutely fluent in English, I get so mad at the education system in America. We are really doing a disservice to our students

Ah thank you! I definitely wanna come back down there at some point! It looks beautiful 😍

Fewer flies in Sth Australia? Surely you jest. They pick you up and carry you off.

@@MrMoxicon Sssshhhhhh!

@@ScottEDawg ok...

Me too lol

same

Yea

Same

Not a lot of fruit and vegetables are imported. They are usually either grown in a greenhouse, grown in the northern parts of the country, or kept in storage and released later. There are a few exceptions, such as citrus from America, Avocados and kiwifruit from New Zealand, among others.

Ahh danke dir! 💥💥 ja also ich weiß ja selber, dass ich es öfter sage aber naja ist halt so, ich versuche mich schon zu bessern 😂 Aber vielen Dank für dein Kompliment!

Your English is very good. I'd say it is much better than their German so it's not something to be bothered about. I liked that you pointed it out in the video.

Oh god the dreaded drop bears. I was camping once and discovered one near my campsite. Yeah, we moved pretty quickly.

@@gothslothyou got lucky mate, usually they'll be the ones to spot you and you don't know they're even there until its too late.

@@zchettaz pretty sure it was sleeping and that’s how we got away so easily lmao

Ahh thank you so much ❤️❤️

thank you :) any part time job really, depends what you like but hospitality is always good and quite easy to get

I'm really impressed that you know Australia exists, let alone where it is. I've watched a number of YT videos where Americans are asked about other countries and most of them have no idea anything exists outside the US. In fact, many of them couldn't find their own country on a world map. If you get the opportunity, drop over and visit us or our close friends in New Zealand.

Yeah Aldi is originally from Germany so I love going in there, reminds me a bit of home hehe and thank you!

Yawn on a summer day and you'll unintentionally receive enough protein intake to last you for a week. . . And somehow we all forget how ruthless the flies are every year...

Größte Fehler meines Lebens 😂

whitetulips oo im learning german amm.. ich wohne im irland

As a foreigner from Australia I would be happy to see a video of yours informative as Emilys :) I´ll be happy to hear from an Australia with about more about 1 area of culture.

@@fabriciomosca7197 sorry I don't do videos prefer face-2-face....much more interactive & can at least see facial expressions as stories are told

Thank you! And yeah it was a big surprise to me as well haha

Yes exercise on spirits is very high in Australia because it absolutely destroys people’s health when drunk to excess and this results in high medical costs for the taxpayer.

The fly situation is ok most of the time, however, if we have a particularly wet season, when the weather starts to warm up, the humidity helps breed the flies and then they become a real pain.

Nope hehe from Leipzig :) and yeah I love them!!! ✨

Sadly that's true. My net salary as a doctor in a government hospital in Malaysia was around AUD1500... a month.

My 18 year old son would like an unskilled labourer job in a coal mine in Australia… which companies are employing? He is an Australian citizen.

@@kassrripples3659 have you tried searching the internet?

and drop bears

Yeah so true! That price was from when they were not in season. Grapes in season are quite cheap and than off season the prices go up like crazy

You are really getting ripped off

And when you say they get shipped to Germany. Bananas probably travel further to get to Melbourne. Australia is huge!

@@travelwithlille Off season grapes are imported, often all the way from the USA. Best to buy what's in season, saving $$ and greenhouse gas release in transport. Labelling rules require that country of origin be shown on the shelf label. Off season apples are kept in cold storage. Fresh is best!

Well, at least she wasn’t around when we had the cyclone at Innisfail in 2006 which wiped out most of the Banana plantations and we were paying $18 per kilo for most of the year!

Thank you!!!!

Very true. A few years ago there was a move to import some bananas when much of our crop had been destroyed by a cyclone and it was forbidden Because Australia is free of the most common banana diseases that most other banana growing countries around the world have from time to time. So we will never be importing bananas from cheap labour countries. We do import some oranges from USA in the off-season because oranges are so seasonal, but there is no risk of disease with them. Not much else is imported afaik. Just a few specialty things like asparagus etc.

I´m a new backpacker and I love to see other people´s experiencie, such as Emily´s. She makes it definitely not a lonely planet for viewers.

The fly's are not to bad in the city's it's only when you go out to the country towns and out into the bush and they are at there worst mainly in summer.🙂

@Liba tal klieb 😂😂😂

Not many flies in the big cities, not like in the countryside. I never have any problems with flies so don’t think the whole country is like that.

Don´t wonder, the good aspects outweigh. She´s clearly happy. Btw I see lack of that in the comments around here.
