Both of you will be extremely welcome in Australia. We have a very big Italian community in Oz so you will always hear a familiar accent but also that you both seem so cool that you will be accepted immediately as Aussies as you are learning our culture. I hope you both make it to ;down under' soon.

Going through the comments & no Aussies have mentioned this song is called great southern land by the Australian band "Icehouse" from around 1982. This isn't an original video but it does show our beautiful country.

I grew up in Adelaide, & we had many cultures here, my area had lots of Italian migrants. It became a joke to people in our street as we were the only Australians, to spot the Aussie(me). All the Italian wives wanted to learn how to cook Aussie meals, so mum spent a lot of time both teaching them and learning their recipes and adopting them. You should check out the great music from the Aussie musicians/bands.

Hi, and thanks for your lovely comments, on Australia. I come from Melbourne, which is the cultural hub, of this great country. My city, had a large number of Italians and Greeks migrate here, who brought their amazing food, as well as great coffee! Probably the first difference you will notice, in Australia, is that we are only a young country, in the western meaning, so don’t have buildings more than a bit over 200 years old, and they are pretty thin on the ground! Anyway, hope to see you here soon!

And Australia is blessed with 8222 islands and they are very special places. Each is a little world unto itself: a unique experiment in life, an opportunity for animals and plants to operate differently.

Thank you for showing how beautiful our country is. I visited Rome and couldn't get enough of it, so beautiful! Our countries are both very beautiful in different ways. I hope you do get to visit this Great Southern Land :)

I just finished 3 month trip through Northern Territory and Western Australia. We really do have an amazing country. Some of the most beautiful beaches in the world with emerald green water, and other natural landmarks such as gorges, canyons etc. Uluru is a must see, world's largest rock, standing at over 300 metres high in the middle of the flat Australian outback. By the way, the assumption that dangerous animals are everywhere is greatly exaggerated, I've lived in country Australia all my life (47) and only seen the occasional snake, we also have Red back spiders around our house, but I've never ever heard of anyone being bitten by one, they keep to themselves. One warning, much of winter in the very top end of Australia it is around 35°C and upwards, hard to handle if you're not used to the heat, aim lower for a more bearable temperature. Great reaction

you really should have listened to the song, it tells the story of this awesome place. and your right it s amazing to live here.

Glad you both like our beautiful country. My parents immigrated from Italy to Australia in 1956. I was born and raised in Melbourne, where there is a large multi culture community. I have visited Italy a few times and love the history going back 1000 years. That’s one thing we don’t have. But, we do have lots of great beaches all around the country, most of us live close to the coast. Enjoy your discovery to learn about Australia… hope you can come soon.

When you visit remember Australia is over 25x the size of Italy. It can take days to travel from one spot to another.

This song is 40 years old and feels timeless. Other songs of the nation are Down Under (Men At Work) and This is Australia (Gang Gajang)

i love your passion about Australia . i love my country with passion as you

Except for our rich Aboriginal culture, at least 40 000 years old. Something every Australian should be proud of whether you are Aboriginal or not.

While cruising around the Whitsunday Islands QLD in a chartered yacht with some friends from Sweden, we visited Whitehaven beach. The sand is bleached white and as fine as talcum powder. The water is crystal clear turquoise, the water temperatures are between 23°C in the winter and 28°C in the summer and underwater visibility is easily 20+ metres. We were joined by a family of dolphins on our journey from Solway Pass to the beach, just to add to the experience. They were visibly gliding just below the water's surface and breaching regularly directly ahead of the bow; like a welcoming committee. For me, it is the rarest of gems and one of the most beautiful places I have visited on this planet. Definitely, a place to put on your bucket list. :)

The beaches are great everywhere. Queensland is actually on the East Coast. All of the West Coast is in the state of Western Australia.

Not one mention of the song. Lol. It's a true classic that I grew up listening to.

Just be mindful how large Australia is and how long it takes to get anywhere. Italy is 25 times smaller than Australia. Italy's area is similar to our 2 smallest states combined, (Victoria and Tasmania) which are located in the south east corner of the country. The Great Barrier Reef is one of those "Bucket List" must do's. I put it right up there among the top, if not the best thing I've ever done. Absolutely stunningly beautiful.

This Is Australia is a travel campaign. Great Southern Land is a song from the group Icehouse.

You completely missed listening to the song!! It was a big hit in the '80's for the Australian rock group Icehouse, "Great Southern Land" was the name of song. Anyway, check out Icehouse on Wikipedia. Other hits were "Hey Little Girl", "Electric Blue" and "Crazy".

It's actually a hit song/video from the late 80s. Our winters get cold as well but it only snows in mountainous regions & Tasmania. Sydney is without doubt the most beautiful city & has that harbour but also the foreshore from Vaucluse to Coogee, also worth the look. Snorkel at most beaches except Melbourne & see the Daintree forest, merely 2500 kms north of Sydney.

You'll love it it has everything, the cities are bustling, the beaches exquisite and so many natural and remote beautiful landscapes. Aboriginal/First Nation history is deep and very important to educate yourself on too. There are so many retail/services/hospitality jobs here in Perth, Western Australia at the moment too so if you're looking for work theres great cafes and bars to work in and meet fun ppl. oh and we have some of the best wineries in the world as alot of our climate is mediterranean too.

Hi Ladies. I am biased. Tasmania is the Jewell of the crown and the east coast of Tasmania has the best beaches in Australia (especially the Bay of fires on the east coast).Tasmania is the island at the bottom of Australian mainland, just under Victoria

The Great Barrier Reef is the largest living thing in the world. Thanks for reacting girls.

The vlog didn't show much of our fabulous forests - tropical, sub-tropical and temperate forests. All beautiful in the Australian way.

If you come here, make sure you explore the history of the indigenous people. They've been here for 50,000 years and it's fascinating.

I grew up with Italian neighbors & friends in the 1960-70's. A major reason Australia has the best coffee in the world is because 1950's Italian migrants introduced Australian culture to European culture. Ladies, you would fit right in... feel welcome. Regards from Sydney.

We equally love 🇮🇹 Italy 🇮🇹 ❤️

I was living in London and a good friend flew over to Europe with her husband for a holiday. I flew over to Rome to meet her for a girls' weekend. We had the *best* time. The shopping was fantastic (the shoes, the shoes, the shoes!). Eating good food, drinking good wine, talking, talking, talking and laughing. The Italian people were bellissimoso. Friendly and fun. Italian men were very flirty, but also respectful. In this video you talk about how every picture was beautiful. My God, just walking outside our hotel and wandering without a map, we saw incredible art, architecture and culture at every step. It was so impossibly beautiful. The Colisseum, the Forum, the Spanish steps, the Vatican, even the crumbled walls ... I was in awe. If you're in a new part of the world and you're hankering for good food, good drink, natural beauty and parties, you just need to find and follow the Italians.

Where I live, the sand is as white as snow, the water is crystal clear

Check out the Qantas advert featuring the song, “I still call Australia Home. It features some famous Australians and beautiful landscapes.

At 2.25, those are sand dunes, not snow. We do have snow in the southern Highlands of New South Wales and northern Victoria, but what you saw were sand dunes, probably on Queensland's southern coast.Fraser Island, the world's largest sand island, is in that region.

Australia is a very large country and very diverse. But some pointers. The east coast is mostly very green, highly developed especially for tourism but very beautiful. If your a big city person you will love Sydney and Melbourne. If you're more an adventurist but still want the comforts of being a tourist your Australian experience starts in Brisbane, most head for the Barrier reef or the Daintree forrest. If you're even more the adventurist and don't need all the touristy things and want to experience the very heart of the wilderness, raw untouched beauty and up close to nature that would be Western Australia. The West is huge so you have 4 basic regions. Perth city region with a lot to see and a lot of wild life, particularly marine. East of the city the Eastern Goldfields centered around Kalgoorlie. A lot of early colonial history and a lot of gold mines. The SouthWest. Simply breathtaking from Green farmlands and endless rolling hills to the giant Karri and Tuart Forrest's, world class wineries and jaw dropping coastline highlighted by the recently voted most beautiful beach in the world Lucky Bay near the town of Experience. Then there's the northern region along the Batavia and coral coastlines and the brutal but stunning landscapes of the interior. The Murchison, Ningaloo reef, The Abrolhos Islands, Cable Beach Monkey Mia, Karajini, Bungle Bungles, Twin falls, Gibb River Rd and so much more. The key is to plan your journey well with a solid budget. You will love it.

Hope you dear ladies realize and feel proud of the huge part that Italians immigrants played in the development of this great southern land .

Hi Girls, Just fantastic to see your excitement for The Great Southern Land 💕💕 I have travelled extensively over my Lifetime, and when I get back home, I get down and kiss the ground, as we are living in a very unique and beautiful Country, on all the measures of what is a great place to live, not many places are ahead 👌👌 We are a bit of a Weird Mob, but we generally are friendly and inviting, compassionate and are well educated about the rest of the Planet. And we Live Our Country 💙💙💯 Da mia moglie, Ciao, adorerai venire in Australia e forse non te ne andrai mai come me 👌

I'm glad you really liked my comment but I should clarify that it was my fault I was bitten, my pet rainbow lorikeet was making a strange noise so I ran downstairs quickly to see why and without paying attention I stood straight on the eastern brown snake causing it to bite me in defence. Snakes aren't mindless monsters they'll try to avoid you at all costs just don't step on them. When you both mention my comment it really made me laugh 😂🤣 thank you.

So many Italians in Australia historically like many other imported cultures, bringing great cuisine, wine and especially coffee, great humour. This is a nation of many cultures creating a very diverse palate of difference, add our hugely diverse geography and only 27,000,000 people in a land the size of the continental USA only safer, less rushed, great standard of living and generally laid back people!

The 3rd last picture was of my city of Brisbane.

Never been bitten by anything other than a dog, and they're all over the world! I've been here 56 years! (all my life!) Come visit us!

All bites bar the Blue Ringed Octopus are merely an inconvenience with antivenin covering all but that one sting. It's the Great Barrier Reef.

If you like beaches... we have a few to chose from... Australia has almost 12,000 beaches along its 60,000km (37,282mi) coastline. If you visited one per day, it would take more than 32 years to see them all.

Camels were introduced the tallest animal we have is a kangaroo, with camels been much taller they had no competition to food so they thrived. we now export camels to places like Saudi Arabia

Can you show us a musical video highlighting the beauty of Italy?🌺 There is so much to see.🦋 Australia is a young country and does not have the cultural heritage.

The oldest living culture on earth, MAXIMUM RESPECT.😎 The 'Dream Time.'

I live in The Atherton Tablelands, Far North Queensland which is up a Mountain Range behind Cairns. Our Temperatures are Cooler than the coastal areas, You'll still see Rainforests and Waterfalls up here. Alongside Rolling Green Hills and plenty of Lovely Freshwater places to swim. Due to Long Extinct Volcanoes our soil is good for growing a wide variety of Fruits and Vegetables. It's Dairy Cattle Country as well. The Locals are Warm and Friendly, but being a Country Area I'd recommend Hiring A Car. Ever since Covid things haven't been the same. It was a very popular destination for Backpackers. Going Shopping even for Food used to be Fun, because you'd meet people with different Languages and Accents. Everyone is missing Our International Tourists.

Hi guys Queensland is on the eastern side. I live on the Sunshine Coast qld and we have the most beautiful beaches in the world. Iam a true blue Aussie born and bred from Australia 🇦🇺 💙

My cousin lives in Rome he comes to Australia every year and goes straight to the beach. The best time is January, February or March. You will love it here. I live in Perth, western Australia it has everything you need. A presto

Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and everything.

Our beaches on the east side.. we have them on the other side too, they are just a bit rougher.

If you are after very white sand beaches and clear blue seas, then look to the southern coast of Western Australia, Esperance beach in particular is well known, but the beach with officially the whitest sand in the world, is Lucky Bay, in Cape Le Grand National Park, further along the coast. These are a long way from major population centres, but this is a good thing, because one of the most spectacular sights in Australia is the night sky viewed from a dark place, well away from the lights of cities or towns. It is far richer with stars than the northern hemisphere. Humans are the main dangerous animals you really need to be wary of. From 30 years of living in Oz, the only three notable wildlife close encounters were getting swooped by magpies as a kid, a male sea lion getting slightly aggressive and trying to get a taste of a flipper while diving in fairly shallow water, and waking from a nap on the sofa to a palm-sized huntsman spider walking across my face. I believe the poor thing is still in orbit around the Earth after I swatted it away before realising what it was. They are non venomous and harmless to humans, but scare some people because they are big and hairy.

Fun fact: Australian snow fields get more snow than Switzerland.

I'm glad you enjoyed what you saw. I turned 62 today and have spent my whole life in Adelaide, Sth Australia, except for 3 months in 1988 when I travelled the world, including parts of Italy. I did a 11 country European Contiki tour back then and saw Rome and briefly an unscheduled stop in Pompeii and saw Naples and Brindisi where we took a ferry over to Corfu, Greece for a day and night, and then returned to head in another direction. I can't recall offhand what country we went to next, but I think Vienna known in Europe as Wein. Loved your country too. I would suggest you don't come in our summer as you are not used to the type of heat we have here. Surprisingly here in Adelaide right now we are getting cooler days and February has always been reknown for hot summer weather. Best to come April/May, Sept/Oct/Nov in our autumn and spring. Don't expect to see too much as it costs a lot to travel domestically in Australia and you won't have the time. Australia is home to 10,000 beaches, so don't expect to see too many. It would take you 27 years to see a new Australian beach every day.

Also the coffee culture. Italians and Greeks are here too. Go to Melbourne for great barista coffee!

You gals would love Australia! Your very welcome here.

A lot of this was in my backyard the East Kimberly 121,000 sq km and only 7500 people 😁

Hi Guys.. Just make sure when you do travel to Australia.. You check out Queensland. We have many beautiful long sandy beaches over 120 small Islands and many many Rainforest with waterfall walks and bathing pools you can stop and cool down in. Also so many many theme parks And not to forget Australia Zoo .And yes Great Keppel Island and Fraser and Stradbroke Island Resorts to chill and relax when there.

Best beaches are from Melbourne up the East coast to Southern QLD. 69 000km of beaches and bays in Australia

I live in Adelaide, South Australia, we have a large Italian community here. Most came over in the 1950's - 60's along with people from all over Europe and were known as New Australians.

There are so many wonderful hard working Italians that emigrated to Australia after WW2. Your mob really built this country & are highly regarded. There are a number of Italian cultural towns. For example in south east Queensland, there is Stanthorpe, well known got vegetables & the grapes (you know where this is heading). Also in Victoria, there is a town called King Valley

My grandparents came to Australia in 1922 so I'm glad about that but I have a soft spot for Italy.

I love this so much,always makes me tear up.❤❤❤❤❤

the Great Barrier Reef is awesome but takes a boat ride to get to it, whereas if you go to Ningaloo Reef in north-western Australia you can simply walk out to it. also at Monkey Mia (in the same area) you can hand-feed wild dolphins in ankle-deep water

I would like to suggest Tim Minchin to check out, he is a pianist/story teller/comedian, in the end he is just a very talented individual with the best vocabulary all put together with music. I’d like to suggest’Storm’ but listen to the end it has a twist in the end, then have a listen to ‘Thank You God’.P.S. you’d be welcome if you find your way here.

Yeah it really is this beautiful.

You definitely need a good amount of time to visit most of what Australia has to offer. You girls will feel right at home, there are a lot of Italians and people of Italian heritage here. It's so hard to pick one particular place, way too many to chose. Every state has its appeal. I've lived in every state, bar Tasmania and Northern Territory.(visited both of those and loved them.) If you are interested in our 1st Australians, Northern Territory has some amazing places with Rock art datiing back 50,000-60,000 years. ( a bit of debate on the actual age ). Ulluru is a must. Sacred site for the indigenous people. You can feel it! As far as our dangerous animals go, it may sound like they are everywhere, but that's not the case. I holidayed in Italy a few years ago. Loved it! People were always so welcoming and friendly, especially after they found out we were Aussies. I couldn't pick one place there either, as a favourite. Too much choice, and different experiences.

Love Italy! Thanks for the great food ❤

Best country on the planet... disagree? Come over bro, your gonna get love... X

My parents migrated from Italy in the 50s. It is a fantastic country to live in and to explore. The wildlife can be dangerous but with a little commonsense there's very little chance of harm. The country is mostly very safe and friendly

Yeah, you talked about the snake bite. Eastern brown snakes, very deadly and a lot of them. I work in Inland Queensland and in the warm months we get a lot of brown snakes. They will leave you alone as long as you don't provoke them.

My favourite place to visit in Australia is Coober Pedy, so unique. The youtube channel black pepper abroad has a great video of their trip called "Coober Pedy: would you live undrrground?" Would love to see your reaction. The town is definitely one of a kind.

You should listen to the lyrics. My dad was from Italy . He moved to Australia when he was 7. I think the best beaches are in Perth , Western Australia. You hardly see any of the dangerous animals to tell you the truth. If you come to Perth go in our Summer its really a summer place .

We have beautiful beaches everywhere

Bit late but girls it was a music video the band is Ice House and the Great Southern Land

i just realised most these shots are like during sunset

'The Dream Time'... Creative Sleep, How free are we when we dream? The barriers of time, the limitations of space, the laws of logic and other constraints are all swept away and we are Gods of our own fleeting creations...

I rate Perth the most beautiful, Sydney and Hobart are both lovely, but different. Adelaide and Canberra have their own charm, Brisbane has improved to be above Melbourne now.

Oz has such a diverse culture, but yet so very Aussie in nature. Hard to put into words, but it's about mateship and looking after each other so we all prosper. That's the Aussie way mate!

Ladies everyone talks about The Great Barrier Reef on the east coast but we have less dangerous animals and Ningaloo Reef here in Western Australia. Beautiful weather, beaches and sunsets. WA covers over a third of Australia. It truly is heaven on earth. So much to explore. Safe and friendly.

Great reaction! Thank you for this ! Now you just have to buy your tickets and come on down to see us 😂 🇦🇺

We get snow in winter in the southern states 😊

Hi well Australia 🇦🇺 is a beautiful place it have pristine beaches, rainforest, desert and and more... the country is calm no guns and lots of beer and wine 🍷 and yeah private camping ground is pricey and public camping grounds are awesomely cheap but the saddest thing is we are so busy and when holiday time public camping grounds are so full and we kinda never going out to experience those southern land... hmmmm 😔

We are not far away if you live here. Please come and visit and if you get home sick we have a fantastic Italian community with plenty of great restaurants. If you are coming to explore put aside the next fifty years and then you won’t see every thing.

My suggestion is David Attenborough's Tasmania (2018). It's my homeland and the most deadly animal of our island is a jumping ant. We have snow and skifields and magical mushrooms and strange forest people who build homes in the trees. Birds are very loud in the morning. The nice part about living here is the local people. It's a little bit like the south of France. We want good food and comfortable neighbours. One day a local celebrity played Russian Roulette with a live newsreader. The biggest shock for tourists is maybe "free speech". Don't be polite when you are supposed to be honest. We don't get angry at honesty and our punishment for liars is strict.

I'm in Melbourne Australia and I live in the suburbs on the Mornington peninsula. It's mostly green and cool weather except in summer it can get so hot. We really don't have dangerous scary bugs etc anywhere near my area. It's mostly country bush areas and the outback.

Hi , you must have relatives somewhere in Australia 🇦🇺 there's about 4.4% Italians living here 😀

Townsville is the most beautiful city (for me) and Magnetic Island is 20/30 minutes by ferry from Townsville and on Magnetic Island I sat down on a park bench and looked out over the water and all the worries and problems I've ever had in my entire life just lifted off my shoulders, I couldn't live up there because there is no winter, it's in the tropics so it's summer all year around but I love it for 3 years.

Lots of Italians where I live. Just had our Italian festival and the feast of the three Saints 2 big Italian festivals. Hope you get to check them out one day

Hopefully you can come to Australia 🇦🇺. You would enjoy your holidays.

That was sand dunes (not snow😅). Camels are exported from Australia because they have adapted well after being introduced and are a superior breed, not because there's too many. Australia is a giant island and the beautiful beaches are around the entire cost line.. not just Queensland. It is highly unlikely you will be bitten by a snake if you come to Australia😅👍

When the Afghans first arrived in Australia they imported camels to help them as they can go long distances without water. What happened was that over time they released the camels when they stopped working in the outback and needing them and they just bred like wildfire. Fast forward a couple of centuries and the funny thing is that we have so many here in the northern central parts of the outback that they are now being exported to places like Saudi Arabia. You can do camel rides on the beach in Broome, Western Australia and yes that was camel races somewhere in the outback that you queried.

It's 4.14 am in Sydney & I am watching you tube videos....I think I need to see a bit more of my country 🤔. There's too many places, impossible to choose the best...but, as you love the beaches, Whitehaven Beach on The Whitsundays in Queensland, is absolutely beautiful. It has been voted best beach in the world. I had better get some sleep...I might go to the beach tomorrow 😅 but so many to choose from, don't be jealous.... Good night from Sydney 🇦🇺😎

Australia has amazing wild life and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world - and a lot of them. The total miles of beaches we have is greater than the circumference of the world! There are a lot of poisonous creatures - and its not true to say many of the most deadliest ones in the world live here, the correct expression would be to say basically they all do. There are sharks and crocodiles that you would say defy belief - but the danger is generally remote and if you are anywhere heavily populated then you simply wouldn't encounter them in a year - people are too much of an apex predator to live with deadly creatures - most times! The food and culture and people are warm and welcoming and Italians are loved. I don't think of one person I know who has visited who hasn't enjoyed it immensely. It's big - so plan your trip around what you wish to do and see. Parts of it - especially the interior can be very remote - with population densities around 1 person per 100 square kilometres - so it is easy to get away from people if you want too! Great coffee culture, great food, safe, vibrant, good music and did I mention beach life and culture :) It is worth the trip!

I luv your comments throughout the clip But half the things you say you have to remember we are the largest island in the world.. so when you say you want to see beaches it will take you 30 yes to visit everyone Surfing of course it’s popular we are surrounded by cost Summer is everywhere if you swap between north and south also east and west all year round If you want a working EXTENSION visa do some work in the “country” ( outside the cities) and they will let you stay an extra year 👍

Yes it is cool like how showed it thanks

there is nothing to worry about coming here ladies :). the wildlife or dangerous snakes crocs etc live alone in seculded remote areas. you have to remember Australia is huge so the dangerous wildlife live seperate from us lol. we would love to have you here :) 🇦🇺

We have beautiful beaches around Australia

You two are lovely! Subbed!

Australia also has snow capped mountains in winter, so bring your coats. Irony is that most australians have never been to these places. in the video. You could come to australia 10 times and bisit the cities and never see a snake koala or kangaro9.

The video is just a snippet of what Oz has to offer. Given the size of the continent, roughly 2,500% larger than Italy, we basically have 4 different climate zones, therefore the flora and landscape varies greatly as you venture from northeast to southeast, and same for the mid regions and south and northwest. In the summer holidays, many city bound residents pack up their cars, hook up their caravans and migrate to some of the most beautiful places on the planet, either setting up camp on a river bank or at the beach camping grounds. We travel longs distances (3 to 5 hours) to arrive at those destinations to spend the hot summer near the water. Most of the Oz population lives on the coast, so we are aka coast huggers. The distance between major cities is large, (i.e. Sydney to Brisbane is ~1,000km, while Sydney to Perth (east to west) 4,000km, however there is large and small coastal towns in between. Majority of the east coast is dominated by the "great dividing range" stretching 3,700km, which generally separates the coast from inland, and in most cases the mountains are only a few km's from the beach, thus one could describe the landscape as bush & beach, thousands of beautiful places to visit if you've got a spare 12 months. As you plan to visit Oz, if you want to really enjoy your time in the outdoors, including at the beach, if not already, please learn to swim, yes the beaches are beautiful to look at, but a decent degree of respect should be payed when when swimming in the ocean, as mother nature does her own thing.

We live in a wild country ladies but you would luv the diversity.

I don't think they get much snow. Sometimes in Tasmania, but I'm not sure how often. Australia seems really nice. I do wish I had visited when I was younger. I always wanted to go to the Northern Cape in Queensland. I'm not sure it is the most beautiful, but I have heard a lot of interesting things about it. 😀
