This was a fun video Australia! While there were several on this list that didn't surprise us, there were more that did! We also had to correct a couple "mistakes" the young American made here. When we learn about the differences between other countries, we actually learn more about our similarities. That is the common ground that seems to be missing in so many "Reaction Channels." Our World isn't as large as it once was and learning about each other, no matter where we are on the Globe, is vital to our true connections and understanding of each other as people, as friends. We hope you enjoy this episode and perhaps you learned some differences between Australia and where you may be on the map? Let us know. Thank you SO much for watching!

It looks like Tristan gets as much wrong about America as he does about Australia.

You CAN advertise alcohol, I don't know where he got that from. Australia was the leader in stopping tobacco advertising, and graphic warnings on packets.

Fun fact. In Australia, it is not advertised, but they quietly added 911 as an optional emergency number some years ago, because so many people know it from American TV shows and movies. You can also dial 112 on mobile phones, which is an international standard for mobile phones.

In Australia the 000 came about because on the old spin dial telephones, the 0 was the last number so it was the least likely to happen accidentally three times 😊

G'day girls, that bird that we call a "Bush Turkey" is no relation to the American Turkey. To cook one, place the bird and a large stone into a pot and cook until the stone is tender. The bird will need a bit more cooking.

The reason why grape jelly is well known in the USA, but grape jam doesn't exist in nations where 'jam' is the norm, is because grapes contain a very low level of pectin which is used to thicken/clot jam naturally, without adding gelatin; so where 'jelly' comprises fruit, sugar and added gelatin, jam by comparison is made with just fruit and sugar, and 'gels' naturally.

Out of all the videos ive seen about Americans learning about Australia you guys always seem to be the best. your videos are always fun and entertaining and you seem to actually think and not just believe what ever the people say unlike a lot of other youtubers keep up the great work and look forward to more

Driving at night is a HUGE thing in Australia if you're being paid to drive for work or a truck driver, every quote to the client will be quoted for it, motels/hotels do 5am check ins etc if you can call ahead. Night time means less traffic, truck drivers love it because of the lower temperature which makes a huge difference to how their tyres wear.

As an Aussie, I have never been aware of the “not driving at night” We do have garbage disposals We have ice machines in hotels Strictly speaking it’s not compulsory to vote. It IS compulsory to attend a voting booth and get your name ticked off the electoral roll. After that you can put in a valid vote or not.

The best thing about having compulsory voting is that voting has to be equally accessible to everyone where possible.

Alcohol advertising isn't banned in Australia. However, it is limited to ensure the advertisements cannot target certain audiences or convey particular messages

So about the hitting an animal, as long as you check the pouch and mark it with a paint or washable marker most Australians will understand that you've checked for a joey. If you find one you can find a rescue service to help. We don't want to miss the example of saving a wild lifes life.❤

Ice is not common in a hotel - but every room has a fridge! You basically have your own. Financial years are designed to finish in winter. Less staff on leave.

Take your point about being easy to call emergency number with buttons by mistake, children etc ,but when 999 number was introduced phones didn't have buttons,they had the circular dialing mechanism where you would have to turn dial through nearly 360 degrees 3 times ,much harder to dial 999 by mistake.❤

The Australian brush turkey (Alectura Lathami), also frequently called the 'scrub turkey' or 'bush turkey', is a native Australian bird. It is protected under state wildlife legislation (Nature Conservation Act 1992). It is a serious offence to harm brush turkeys.

Hey Girls, I enjoy your content around Australian-isms & reactions. FYI 000 for emergency services in Australia was designed when there were only rotary-dial phones - so 000 would mean pushing the dial around the maximum amount, then letting go, three times in a row. Very hard for kids to do accidentally!! Keep up the good work :) Mitch from Australia.

We absolutely can (and do) advertise alcohol in Australia. Tristan got that one wrong. Some of our most popular tv ads and catchiest jingles are for alcohol. I don't know if you're familiar with drop bears (the urban legend that Aussies like to frighten tourists with) but that story was popularized by a Bundaberg rum commercial :)

Compulsory voting is very popular here. We see it as a really good idea. Our voting system is called "Preferential Voting" and is also very popular. There are some good videos on our system. Australians believe our system is superior to voluntary voting and "first past the post" as used in the USA.

I think PB&J have gotten more popular here due to American TV, I tried it for that reason and was a fan! I can't imagine what grape jam would taste like though, I always used strawberry. But the "go to" sandwiches for kids here is usually Vegemite and butter or ham/ ham & cheese, or just a plain jam sandwich. At least it was 20 years ago when I was in school 😂

We do have ice but not for the public to handle due to sicknesses being spread from hands to drinks. The barman uses a scoop. KMart Australia is not the same store as in the US. In Australia, it’s part of Coles Supermarkets which are owned by Wesfarmers.

That No Hat No Play rule is also in New Zealand for the same reason, that became a rule in like 1995/1996 in New Zealand I remember

This is a LONG reply...sorry for the wall of text, love you guys. I have driven at night in parts of northern Western Australia, and outback Queensland. In the country, the only thing you can really do is make sure the car has a bull bar (also known as a roo-bar) on it, a lot of flood lights, and you go slower than normal. If you are out in the deeper country, so off the main highways, then you are usually going even slower, but still the same applies from above otherwise. Another thing too, is different wildlife pose different risks: 1) I had a friend I used to work with, who was driving in the day time, in the outback to a job site when he had to stop for a kangaroo stopped in the middle of the road. Then he noticed movement to his right, and the rest of the mob (the name of a group of kangaroos) hit his hire car like a heard of cattle. Smashed every window, the side mirror, dented every side panel, and the roof and hood/trunk completely. He took it back the hire place, and the asked where it was. He told them, after explaining what happened, and they said (no joke) "OH, well in that case, here is another car, no issues, and sorry for the hassle. That mob are known for ambushing cars regularly like that." REGULARLY. 2) Some animals are going to mess you up different. Horses: statistically the highest killer on Aussie roads each year. Wombats: if you hit a wombat at the right speed, anything above 45mph, you will flip your car, and wreck it, and it will get up and walk away. Camels: In the northern desert areas, you have a VERY high risk of hitting a wild camel. Australia has the largest wild population of camels in the world, and we export more than any other country, and especially ship to places like the UAE etc. Spiders: when one the size of a small bread plate walks across the inside of your wind shield at high speed...control can become an issue. Koalas: same as wombats, but they don't get up afterwards, but expect a high repair bill. Advertising restrictions also apply for cigarettes as well. Other ones are doctors can't advertise here either. Fosters is the beer we send overseas, because we don't drink it. We don't have a national beer, each state however generally has one that is sort of claimed as the state beer. XXXX (said as four-ex) is the main one in Queensland. We generally tend to however go for Dry or Bitter style beers. In Queensland (where I live, clearly) the Department of Transport manages the licenses. The last time I went for a license there, I walked in and was greeted by a concierge who asked what I was there for, then helped get me the correct ticket to be seen as soon as possible. I sat down in a clean seat, and about 10 minutes later I went over and got my license transferred from the old state and address to the new one. Including having the photo done, where they checked with me that the photo was okay. Then 10 minutes later I was called up, and got the license itself. Aussie burgers are superior. Not only do they need the the beetroot on them, but a fried egg, where the yolk is still runny, so when you bite into it the hot yolk runs down your cheek, and lastly a slice of pineapple on top. Everything else is the same, good beef chicken mince patties or do a slow cooked bbq shredded chicken , onion, lettuce, tomato and sauce(s) of choice. Toast the bun. Serve with fresh well salted chips and a drink of choice. Wild Turkeys as he has it are BUSH Turkeys. They are okay to eat, if you have patience to cook the things. Think of them as being like walking feather covered strings of mostly leather... If you want ice in a hotel, you ring room service and they bring it to you. Do the Slang Videos, that would be cool.

Hi from Sydney. Love your reaction videos. Keep em coming. Alcohol advertising is allowed. What is not allowed is alcohol related sponsorship of sporting teams. Tobacco advertising and sponsorship was banned 30 years ago.

Most trade names used in Australia like Target, Kmart, 7/11 are not owned by the US Corporations. The trading names were bought by local companies decades ago. For instance, Wesfarmers own Kmart and Target here. As a result, the offering has significantly diverged from that of the sister companies in the States. The only things they have in common are the logo and the fact that they are department stores of some description. It is true that there are some brands here that are totally owned by foreign corporations, like McDonalds, but they still franchise, and the majority of KFC stores are owned by Collins Foods, under a master franchise agreement. Hungry Jacks and Burger King are a whole other story. You definitely can't assume anything when it comes to the ownership structure and operation of a lot of major US brands in Australia, but I notice the majority of people seem as though they do.

The beer we drink in Australia depends on what state or territory you live in. Im from South Australia and we tend to drink Coopers, pirate life, and west end. We definitely do not drink fosters. 😂 I highly recommend building an Aussie burger. We refer to it as " The Lot". It consists traditionally of: Beef patty, burger bun, tomato, lettuce, cheese, Bacon, beetroot, pineapple, egg and bbq sauce.

Natasha and Debbie, love your channel, and love the both of you. Elections in Australia. A few points: 1. You do get fined if you do not attend a polling booth or send a postal vote. But you can write whatever you like on the ballot paper! No one checks the ballot paper to see what you voted or if you voted correctly, because it is a secret ballot. So, technically, it is compulsory to attend a ballot, but not to lodge a correct vote. 2. As a result, the turnout for most federal and state elections is approx 90%. Which means the final results pretty much reflect the "will of the people. 3. In the US, parties worry about "turning out the vote" We don't worry about that in Oz. As a result, US politics tends to work at the extremes, with political parties being outrageous and extreme to get people mad enough to vote. Alternatively in Australia, given most people will be voting, political parties have to focus on what we call the "sensible centre", not to those on the extreme. Thus Australian political parties that want to win, have to appeal to the middle ground if they want success. This is why your voting system in the US encourages extreme views, and, may I suggest, why your electoral landscape appears to be completely whacko! 4. We have preferential voting. That means if 10 people stand for election in your electorate (ie. Congressional District in the US) then you number your ballots from 1 to 10, 1 being your most preferred candidate, 10 your least preferred. If the candidate you prefer (vote 1) receives the lowest number of votes, then they are dropped out, and your vote is then redistributed to your second preference, and so on. That means, no one is elected until they receive 50.1% of the total vote, based on the individual electors preferences. Hope that makes sense! Again, this prevents whacko candidates winning an election with just 15% of the vote, against the wishes of most of the electors, just because they have been an outrageous buffoon on the TV Sorry to be long winded, but the Australian system would eliminate much of the crazy stuff we see in the US political system. I think you are both highly intelligent, and therefore would find the electoral differences quite interesting. Sorry if that is a little nerdy, but I follow australian and US politics quite closely Keep up the great work

Aussie here! Never heard of the “ not driving at night”. Growing up in a rural area, we were always careful when driving at dusk. Had to watch for kangaroos as it was their active time. If one jumped across the road when you were driving we were always taught to watch for the second one as there is nearly always more than one and the second was the one you were more likely to hit. Also if you don’t vote, you are fined. Not too sure but i think it’s about $100.

I’ve seen some misinformation here about compulsory voting. So the Commonwealth Electoral Act of 1918 states that “it shall be the duty of every elector to vote at each election”. Some people say it’s only compulsory to attend the polling booth and have your name marked off. That’s false. You must mark the ballot paper, fold it, and deposit it in the ballot box. How you choose to mark it is up to you! It is breaking the law if you don’t do this and the punishment is a small fine. If you refuse to pay the fine you could end up in Court.

Compulsory voting is great! I taught my kids how to vote from the time they become double digits. . I never attempt to sway their vote, I always ask why this or that party, but I never tell them who to vote for, I explain that you have a voice and must use it which is why I dont get Americans not voting. Your vote is ur voice.

Australian notes also have tactile bumps to help identify different denominations

Absolutely love you guys! Please keep giving us reason to smile!

I live in Tasmania and did a trip years ago up to Queensland. I decided to drive my own car and because of the higher possibilities of hitting animals I stopped every night at close to dusk and stayed at a motel overnight. It took 3 days to travel but I felt it was worth it for the safety aspect.

Hi Lovely Ladies, from Oz, My perfect Aussie Burger: beef pattie (meat optional), onion, cheese, bacon, egg, tomato, lettuce and Beetroot (Pickled) on a buttered, lightly toasted bread roll. Grated carrot, cucumber and pineapple are also optional to personal taste. But most real older Aussies would say it's not a real fair dinkum hamburger without beetroot, Cheers Mydears!!

Beetroot on burgers is good... but it is the canned beetroot that is also pickled and provides the little acidity kick - it is a replacement for the pickle on burgers which isn't as common in Australia unless getting a fast food chain burger.

Watching this clip I realised that I guess as Australia has been hugely influenced by Britain, then since WW2 we have also been hugely influenced by the U.S. , and I suppose we have taken/absorbed the best bits of Britain & the US as to what suits us. It sort of didn't occurr to me much before. The young man could have spoken more about our polymer bank notes, which are so advanced that we make bank notes for many other countries. They are more durable and impossible to counterfeit. Good video girls. Cheers from sunny Queensland on this cold winters morning.

How I look at voting in America, is if you don't then don't complain about the result you get; if you want to make a difference, the your vote is your voice. It says a lot about Australian WiFi, seeing as we developed it; you would think we would have atleast near the best in the world. We have the 12 points system for traffic infringements, but our licenses are only suspended for a set period; anywhere between 6-12 months I think, haven't lost my licence so far. Our cancer prevention ads are based around slip, slop slap(slip on a top, slop on sunscreen 50+ and slap on a hat). Beetroot in Australia has usually been canned in a light vinegar, and as far as I'm concerned it's unaustralian not to have beetroot on your hamburger; but never on a chicken or fish burger(I love pickles on my hamburger if beetroot isn't available). We have dual flush toilets I Australia, it is a building requirement; the half flush for piddling, and full flush for pooping.

In South Australia (and probably most of Australia) What you call Jelly, we call Jam. What you call Jell-o, we call Jelly

In Oz, if you forget where you are (i.e. NOT in the US) and dial 911 it diverts automatically to 000. Also 000 was in the days of the rotary dial phones, thus hardest number to call.

Hey Sheilas, the turkey referred to in Australia is called bush Turkey. Totally different to the turkey throughout America as the local bush turkey are actually related to as the oldest living dinosaur. It is also illegal to kill, capture or remove them without proper legal documentation or it can lead to eye watering fines or even serious jail time. Just down near my place there are hundreds of them and they are amazing to have around as they also eat ticks, grass fleas and all other vermins. Cheers 👍

the beetroot on our burgers is pickled beetroot and takes the place of a pickled cucumber so it's like a milder more filling pickle, pickled beetroot is also common with salad and salad rolls/sandwiches. roast/cooked beetroot is uncommon.

RE: Emergency numbers a lot of phone manufacturers and/or mobile network regulators have implemented failsafes for people travelling who may not know the emergency number where they are. So for in example, here in the UK if you were to dial any of the emergency numbers (999/000/112/911 etc) from your mobile phone it'd still connect you to emergency services. Also the UK using 999 was because when you used the older style rotary phones it'd mean you were less likely to dial it by mistake.

when driving at night the kangaroos can get mezmerized by the head lights and before you pass the the light is no longer in their eyes so they will often jump out onto the road and become road kill. Also in a lot of country areas at dawn and dusk its common to drive down the middle of the road so you have more of an option to swerve if needed.

He's probably only staying in 2-3 star hotels or backpackers. More upmarket ones will have ice machines. But in general when you want ice you buy a bag of it from the local servo or supermarket. Or just use the ice-tray in your fridge if you only need enough for a drink.

Was a bit late to this but did I just hear him say we don't advertise alcohol in Australia 🤔 Um ok..that's crap! Ok,back to it now.

not driving at night really applies to outlying areas/remote areas. Not our cities and suburbs. People still drive in the remote areas anyway.

My mom used to love peanut butter and jam (she favored strawberry mostly but she'd try all sorts) but personally I've always found it a bit too sweet for me as I tend to prefer much more savory flavors (like the classic 'meat/egg, tomato and greens' or the oh so dreaded vegemite XD). As for other people I know... Nutella or honey mainly, though some jams (maybe with regular butter/margarine) tend to be the sweet spreads of choice. I think it's not so much that no one ever has it here so much as we have a lot of sandwich options we like and ultra sweet stuff tends to be more of a niche pick; if you ever see a comparison of what foods we eat/how we eat them, you'll probably notice us Aussies tend to prefer things less sweet in general, even when it comes to stuff like how just sugar is in our bread and things (we still have and like a ton of sweet things mind you but they tend to be more seen as treats or party kinda things rather than daily morning/lunch sandwiches). Also the more noticable any artificial flavors and colorings there are, the more likely it is that we'll gag so... Yeah. That's partly why grape jam is barely a thing here - requires added gelatin (and sometimes colorings and things) where as most other fruit jams are basically just pulped fruit and sugar/honey. ...I could honestly rattle on about this topic for ages really given how very much allergic to some colors and flavorings I am~ XD Night driving isn't banned so much as a 'be prepared to be very cautious' thing and matters a lot more the more out in the country (bush and outback areas) you are rather than in city areas. Helps a ton to know how the wild life behaves as well so I wouldn't be surprised if Tristan's Aussie mates just told him it was outright banned to keep him off the roads until they could be sure he'd picked some stuff up. ...Road kill is sadly very common though. Used to periodically see dead kangaroos, low flying birds and the rare odd wombat off the side of the road when my dad drove me to school and it was always super depressing. And actually being responsible for road kill is just... I love our wild life but I REALLY wish they weren't so prone to leaping out in front of cars or thinking just next to wheel of a parked car is a nice safe spot to curl up and sleep. Pickled beetroot on burgers (or toasted sandwiches) is great! Not loved by everyone of course but I love the toasted stake sandwiches the local fish and chip shop does especially~ Just a slab of beef, beetroot, tomato and lettuce, all drizzled in bbq sauce but the way they ratio it it all is just MMmmm

I have watched so many of tristans vids before and I think he's lovely and is kind to my country, but he may be getting alot of his facts from certain parts of Australia as here in Melbourne we have different names for things, up north things are often very different from the south. But that's ok I love when others like to learn about Australia, but at least here in Melbourne we are pretty Amerincanised too.

Voting is not compulsory, going to the polling place and getting your name ticked off is. They can't make you actually vote

I have never stayed in a hotel room in Australia that doesn't have a fridge/ freezer. Quite often there will be a tray for freezing ice but it is not that necessary when your drinks come out of the fridge ice cold and the room has air conditioning. I could only see that as being a problem if you are a slow drinker and you leave your glass to stand for a long time. I haven't been to the States, but I have heard the rooms often don't come with all the standard things we are used to here like fridge, microwave, utensils, iron, ironing board etc. Many often now come with washing machines and other stuff.

I will sometimes fast forward but not for you beautiful people. Your love and respect for each other and our respective militaries is amazing. I now try to " Love like Jazz and Be as strong as Tyson everyday", not easy but this inspires me. Semper Fi

I would get home from school (Australia/Tassie) and have a peanut butter and home made raspberry jam sandwich with a hot cup of black tea back in the 70's/80's. You can buy sliced roast Turkey in all supermarket deli's and of course frozen\unfrozen Turkeys but more abundant at Christmas time, I sometimes have Turkey salad sandwiches. Beetroot/red beet is very common in Aus, in burgers and side salads mainly.

One of the most terrifying drives I've ever done was in remote Western Australia at dusk, when the highway was literally lined with kangaroos on both sides of the road. We someone avoided them, but it was incredibly stressful to drive for hours like that.

Copilot Kmart Australia operates 325 stores across Australia and New Zealand, with its head office located in Mulgrave, Melbourne1. The company has been serving millions of customers every year, offering a wide range of everyday products at the lowest prices2. If you need any more information or have other questions, feel free to ask! 😊

Great videos... West Aussie here... Ok so 000 is because back when the dialface phone was all anyone had. It was considered the hardest number to wrong/accidentally dial.

Driving at night is fine in the cities. I regularly drive in regional Australia (not too outback though). It is wise to keep alert for wildlife day and night, as they vary in activities, some being nocturnal, wheras others are not. I was warned that dusk and dawn are the times to be particularly wary of wildlife. Driving into the sun complicates vision in this. You would often see a lot of roadkill on moonlit nights. That has been my experience, but I am sure our truckies would have so much more insights about this.

We drink a lot of beer- I prefer wine- but each state has a signature beer. These days, there is a huge amount of boutique beers that are being produced as well as pre-mixed cans of vodka/gin. Boutique gins are really taking off, as well.

This guy refers to Cairns a bit ~ so some of what he says are more location based. In the city we drive of a night time and aren't worried about animals on the road as they are up north or out in the country. We don't advertise alcohol or cigarettes, even at sporting events. The beetroot we put on our burgers are not raw, they have usually been cooked in vinegar and are soft. We have turkey in the deli to have on sandwiches, and there are wild turkeys everywhere but we don't eat them. Not disrespecting this guy either ~ he's just got his experience where he's at ~ which in some cases is very specific too.

I do occasionally come across petrol pumps that have the clip so you can walk away but it’s only ever on truck diesel bowsers where the tanks are likely to be huge. I think there’d been crazy spillages over the years with the average person filling their family cars.

G'day girls! Driving at dusk and dawn are the riskiest times predominantly out of town. Our Scrub Turkeys are protected here though nobody would want to eat them as the eating would be like munging out on an old leather boot hahaha

Tasmanian beer is up there with the best. Boags or Cascade, you can’t go wrong. Plenty of great micro breweries around as well. Beetroot on a burger is the best.

Really enjoy your content different to the rest I love your interest in the subject matter. Thanks for the entertainment 👍🏼

Re: 33 Minimum wage - Industrial award minimum wages are an adult minimum wage. Most employment awards, which contain the employment conditions and wage rates for various roles covered under the award, will generally provide for Junior rates for employees under 21, at specified percentages of the adult wage. Eg 17yr old gets 60% of adult wage until they turn 18 when they will get 70%. This graduated system only applies to employment awards that specifically provide for junior rates to be paid. If the award doesn’t specify, the employee will receive the full wage regardless of junior age.

You said the hats etc for stopping skin cancer were "Super Smart". It's great because the motto for the government Skin Cancer initiative is called "Sun Smart". Cheers.

Weirdly, im half aussie half brit so a lot of your videos i can relate to

16:30 A burger with the lot in Australia traditionally comes with meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, beetroot, pineapple, and sometimes egg. Also sometimes sauce. Although this was more widespread 10-20yrs ago. In recent times food outlets have been skimping on ingredients.

Aussie here- the 000 phone number started in the era of rotary dial phones- the 0 had to be moved the greatest distance, so was unlikely to be dialed by accident. Cheers.

Not the first time I've heard him refer to 'the internet' as WiFi, which is just the connection between your device and modem/router (unless you have an ethernet cable connecting the two) and has a useful range of about 30 metres. Having said that, apparently our average internet speeds, particularly uploads, are well behind other developed countries.

I’m a west Aussie. I spent years living in the country and I drove thousands of kilometres at night. I only ever hit one kangaroo and a couple of rabbits over the years. I did have a close call with a cow once, but missed it.

The reason for the emergency phone number is 000 goes back to the old rotary dial phones, 0 was the shortest distance to dial in an emergency.

You CAN drive at night, that was a ridiculous statement ... This bloke is talking a lot of nonsense I am afraid, no one is banned from driving, you just have to be more aware when it's dark because of our nocturnal animals. I lived in the Bush (Country) in Western Australia for 15 years and both I and my Wife drove a lot at night, so long as you are careful and keep your speed down you will be fine....I think in the 15 years we lived there my Wife hit a Kangaroo once, and that was early in the morning...p.s. we both drove 1000 kilometres a week just to work and back because we worked at the Casino in Perth City. And we did this because we loved our five acres out in a beautiful little town Called "Toodyay" where my Wife had three horses and we had a few sheep and two little hand reared goats. My Wife also showed "Saint Bernard" dogs and our property out there was terrific for the animals to run on....anyway I am digressing here...my main point is that you certainly CAN drive at night ... p.s. I absolutely love your show you are two lovely and amazing ladies. 😘p.p.s. I our current minimum wage is approx $21.38 per hour or $812.60 per 38 hour week.

Compulsory voting here is good because everyone has their vote counted. Compare that to the US where gerrymandering is rife and certain groups of people are disenfranchised so their vote is not counted which is beyond corrupt. Also, I have seen this guy on other reaction videos and there’s a lot he gets wrong. You picked up he was wrong about the driver point system in the States so … And disposal systems are available here but most people don’t have one. We either compost or chuck it in the rubbish. The peanut butter and jelly thing I did when I was a kid. My mum, who was English, used to make jelly out of apple or guava or loquat and I’d have that with peanut butter on a sandwich.

Beer in Australia has seen a rise in craft/small brewery's.. my favourite is Stone and Wood.. Pacific Ale.

These emergency numbers were created in the days of circular dial phones so it was really hard to miss dial 3 0’s because it was the last on the dial.

The Aussie slang would be a good video.

We have grape jelly, but you would call it jello 😉😅 I love blackberry jam or honey (we have beautiful honey) with my fresh peanut butter!!!! ☮️💗🇭🇲

The emergency numbers, 000 in Aussie and 111 in New Zealand went back to the old dial telephones. In each of these countries the dials were different and the emergency number was the number on the right hand end of the dial, as this was the fastest one to dial with a quicker return time for the dial to reset. After American TV shows like 9-11, 911 was also set up as an alternative emergency number in NZ.

I loved watching this guy, he’s great. We got Goober Grape Jelly in Australia for a while. Brilliant stuff.

Tristan, from I can work out, spent his time in Australia mainly around backpacker centres like Byron Bay and north of Brisbane in Queensland. He has based his experiences on party towns and stayed in hostels. This video is outdated as well. To address a few stereotypes I see in his videos and others - I live in Sydney and have super fast internet. We don’t walk around with bare feet (except at the beach or in your own home). If you stick to the tourist areas and cities you won’t see a dangerous animal at all, except in a zoo. Kmart is a different store to the US Kmart , there is no connection at all. They are owned by different companies. There are so many more, but I’ll stop there.

Gday! One thing that I love about our voting system in Australia is that it's private. I have absolutely no idea who my friends and family vote for. I could take a great guess at some because I know what policies they would support. We don't identify by a political party as it seems you do in your country.🤷‍♀️ I have voted for different parties in my lifetime, I just look at what they are offering. Identity politics has crept in so we really have to look at their policies and question the media. As far as our fashion goes 🤔 I dress the same as my Pearl Jam sisters in America. Jeans, flannos and boots 😉

Australian brush turkeys are not the same as US turkeys, they're a totally different bird. I've never eaten one, but imagine that as they're wild and not farmed, they're pretty tough, dry and stringy. That said, they are interesting to have around. They were pretty common in suburban areas when I was growing, but disappeared for 35 or more years. Their return to our Sydney suburb followed the end of aa lot of housing development when the large household blocks were subdivided into half acre building blocks (in the case of blocks around here, more likely to be quarter acre in other suburban areas.).The male plays a major part in the raising of chicks. When his mate is going to start laying eggs, he will build a sort of nest for them, constructed from leaves and twigs. The hen lays the eggs in these mounds but it is the male who goes back to check that all is well. He'll poke his beak into the mound in various places and add or remove leaf debris to keep the mound at the right temperature

No, he’s wrong, most Aussies get paid fortnightly! Weekly is for wages, (hospitality, customer service etc), fortnightly is for a salary (annual fixed payments).

Yeah do the slang. Our slang is funny

I agree all countries should have the same emergency number

Oh Natasha beetroot on a burger is an amazing experience I do it all the time back in the UK

The AFL lesson is over winter time here. So it helps to have a very oversized jersey so that you can put it on over the top of your coats and jumpers!

Peanut butter and honey sandwich was always something I'd have as a kid... that and peanut butter on a celery stick.. Also Australia invented WIFI and its not the WIFI connection that's slow, it's the internet... they're not the same thing though people commonly refer to WIFI when they mean internet. Instead of fibre optic cables, our Govt in all their wisdom, kept the old copper cable to the nodes, to save a few bucks.. so even if you install fibre optic from your house to the node, it's slowed down by the ancient infrastructure. It's not that bad though, we can still stream 4k etc our upload speeds are like 50-100mbps. And the financial year here, like America, ends and starts in Winter... usually when businesses have a lull and more time to compile their taxes... our winters just fall in different times of the year.

yeah... Peanut Butter (and Jelly) really is just an American thing, although we do eat peanut butter and probably more jam. Surprised that my sister who has been living in America for 30 years has adopted peanut butter into her life, when she never really ate it here. She's definitely a vegemite girl.

FYI: 000 was set when we has rotary phones. The idea was that it was harder to accidentally dial it because 0 was the furthest number away to dial. Much like for the US, the 9 would have served the same function, while the 11 are the quickest to dial to save time and make the dialing faster. Also, because we have so much US television here, if you dial 911, it automatically gets rerouted to 000.

Emergency numbers existed before 'button' dialling. On a rotary dialling, 000 is the most awkward number to dial thereby making it less likely to be dialled by accident (by, say, a child playing). Similar for the UK 999.

Bit of info not exactly right in this.

In Australia the US emergency number is mapped onto the Australian emergency number, So if a poor deluded yank gets into strife and stupidly rings 199, or whatever it is, it goes to 000.

You never notice how weird things you are so used to are until you see someone’s reaction from somewhere else. Love it! Love these two as well ❤ hi from Aussie land! Have you guys tried Vegemite?? 👌🏼😂

Enjoyed your show. Australia is so different now, from when I arrived as a 6 year old, with family in 1964. I haven't been overseas since then. On Saturdays, before the high fence went up, everyone is watching the footy from the second story of 38 Garton Street in Carlton. Sundays, about 1968, we kids would jump the fence of the footy ground and scavenge for money and left over beer. Magpies and crows also saw a bounty. Love. I did see a man almost kicked to death there. The violence to and pleading of the young man. I believe I screamed out, to stop? Married with 2 boys and lovingly divorced with 2 boys. Wouldn't have lived my life any other way. Love.

Our school year starts late January through to mid December with 3 or 4 terms with one of two weeks holiday between them depending on which state you live in. That means that the kids are off for Christmas and the New Year. Our summer months are from December to February.

The trouble with US voting is the ones that vote are usually the ones that shouldn't. mostly all Trump voters hahaha Tristran is from Texas. Turkey is dry and horrible so Aussies don't really like it

🤗We tend to make wine 🥂out of our grapes 🍇 or eat them fresh.💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

I avoid driving at night in the country. The issue with kangaroos is they are unpredictable, they can hop along side you and just turn right into a car. I heard on a radio show once that a European compny was trying to make a collision avoidance app for cars but they couldnt predict kangaroos. Wombats are so heavy and low to the ground, they can do a lot of damage.

Aussie here I love goober grape used to be able to get it here but haven't been able find it since I was a kid

Love Tristan's videos! Some of the things aren't exactly accurate, as you gals pointed out, but Tris does a really good job with his vids and he's generally very spot on. And definitely not being disrespectful :) absolutely spot on, I've only ever lived on the East coast of Aus and there are for sure a lot of differences between the East Coast and WA (WA have a funny history of trying to secede from the rest of Australia). Loving your vids as well guys. Really enjoy seeing people have their eyes opened to Australian customs and culture! Keen to watch some more.
