I have to admit that I didn't know much about Australia (just the usual info) until I stumbled into your channel (Luxembourg/Europe here). It is funny that I am learning things about Australia on an American KZfaq channel hehe. They seem to be extremeliy friendly and have a really great sense of humor. I know that you are probably only showing the best but even then, it is a lot of super friendly and funny comments/videos etc... they has to be a lot of truth to it. Greetings to all the Australians today !

It's a lyrebird. Yes, they are tail feathers, which fan out.

Happy Australia day to all

That last bird is a Lyre Bird, it is good at mimicking different sounds it can hear, like camera shutters, chain saws, police sirens and other birds.

That bird is a white cockatoo, a Kookaburra is a member of the kingfisher family and is slightly larger than the standard ones. Grill'd is good, but they are expensive too, around ~$15 AUD for a cheaper burger, but the burger quality is pretty high and good fresh ingredients. Those crosswalk beeps aren't just inn Melbourne, they are Australia-wide. Yes, FNQ is Far North Queensland. And that bird is a Lyrebird, the one that makes all those amazing sounds like a camera shutter, a chainsaw, a baby crying, and every bird call from around the area. I'm pretty sure you've done a video on it before. If you haven't, it's well worth a video on it's own, absolutely incredible what sounds they can make.

Vegemite can be used on anything...it can be spread on any type of bread (bagels, muffins and rolls) to crackers (saltines). It can be used as a flavour base in stews, casseroles, stir frys and gravy for a rich deep flavour.

THANK YOU! Thank you for the effort you put into respecting our Australian culture. The effort you make to learn about us and the constent respect you show while doing so. I watch a lot of reactionary KZfaq. None of the ones that I have seen go to the levels you do to understand us. This was evident yet again in this video when you assumed that FNQ stands for Far North Queensland - spot on. Others would have just made a joke of it. To me it shows the depth of the learning you have attained about us - Thank you.

You get a gumtree tree and a flag when you become a citizen

Lucky to see a Superb Lyrebird in the wild! I've been walking quietly through random patches of Aussie scrub for 40years and never seen that. Awesome 😮

Chuck e cheese .To chuck in Australia means to vomit.See how this name goes ??

10:28 Grill'd are awesome burgers. Especially the Lamb one. Danni needs to try to find a recipe for Vanilla Slice or "Snot block " as they're lovingly called 😂, and do a video of making it. They're yum

the best burgers in australia come from the local fish and chip/take away shop

That's a lyrebird - the one you did a video on, that mimicks stacks of things, really accurately.

Population explosion is mostly new australians mutiplying. Lyrebird is not overlarge but mimics most other birds and wildlife, chainsaws, trailbikes and loud 4wd's!! Don't know how Chuck E Cheese will go, certainly seen a lot of Pizza huts closing down over the years!Cheers Ian, thanks for reviewing Straya day!

17:40 it’s a lyrebird. They are the ones that have the insane mimic skills…phone ringtones camera shutters other species of birds etc

Evening Ian, if you ever cook a hamburger at home, you would have to find a none American Buns, as your breads are too, too sweet. We had a beaut Australia Day 🇦🇺🇦🇺

Bird at the end there was a Lyrebird, they can mimic just about any sound they hear, quite amazing.

2:25 will agree - Vegemite on a toasted bagel does indeed slap!

The bird at the end is a Lyrebird one of the worlds best mimics, there are videos on youtube of some of their sounds

The bird with the long tail is a Lyre bird because when the tail unfolds it’s the shape an an old instrument, the LYRE also they are the best mimics of all time , you can look up some videos , they will mimic car alarms , cameras , sirens etc ,truly amazing birds

That last one was the superb Lyrebird, the best mimic around.

"Redhead" matches used to have a monopoly when we were growing up. They were an iconic Australian brand. When the company was taken over by overseas interests, Australian entrepreneur Dick Smith decided to challenge that monopoly in 1999 by introducing his own brand, "Dickhead" matches. They sold pretty well. The blurb on the back of the box began: "We would have to be complete dickheads to let most of our famous Australian brands be taken over by foreign companies".

The bird is a 'lyrebird', named because the tail, when fanned out resembles a lyre (musical instrument a bit like a mini harp). They are amazing mimics and can imitate anything from other birds to a chainsaw. They a pretty common in the Blue Mountains where they seem to have become accustomed to human prescence. I've had them run accross the path in front of me.

That was the amazing mimic, the lyrebird.

our pb5 pedestrian button is also used in some parts of usa as well. the sound engineer that came up with the sound for it refused to patent it as he wanted everyone to benefit from it. billy eilish is not the only one to sample it into a song either she's well down on a long list. she also heard it in sydney not melbourne.

Ash Barty (on the Grilled ad) was an Australian (from Qld of course) tennis player who won the WTA singles title (2019) French Open (2019) Wimbledon (2021) and the Australian Open in 2022 when she retired while World Number 1 (a title she had held for 114 consecutive weeks) She also won the US Doubles title (2018) and a Bronze in the 2020 Olympics Mixed Doubles. She was WTA Palyer of the Year in 2019. A National Treasure!

Ash Barty was a former champion Australian female tennis player, and I am sure she was a world number one champion.

Well done and thanks for the all inclusive thoughts luv Sam.

Let me just start by saying that not only is the Butter/Vegemite ratio HUGELY important in finding what works for you but also for me, what matters is how melted the butter is.. 🤷 personally, for me, I LOVE like a 7 grain bread, toasted to the point of being burnt, left to the point of being cold but still crisp and NOT floppy, then a generous amount of COLD butter spread on followed by what I deem the right amount of Vegemite (it really is difficult to describe the 'right amount') and OMG delicious, maybe even a slice of cheese on that.. 🤤🤤 I can absolutely see a poppyseed or sesame seed bagel eaten the same way!! 😁

Happy Australia Day 2024 everyone! Fireworks here at HOTA just finished. Happy day all. _Lived in Fils 12yrs, Jollibee is Maccas + extra sugar - on everything. Grill'd is over-rated @$20._ _17:40__ It's a Lyrebird Ian._

Happy Straya Day Ian! 🇦🇺💚💛 No I've got no Anzac biscuits! Yes, Vegemite on everything! Australians don't really appreciate themed restaurants! American sweets have opened a shop near me! Grill'd, yes, nice burgers - Lamb tastes different in Australia! That's funny, I've been replaced by a robot, I once did the store stocktake at KMart! 🎉 27 million, there have been Visas flying everywhere from this govt, not enough new houses! Beep, beep Billy Eilish! Nice tropical pics! See ya Mate! 🙋

Have a beer for us today, mate

We used to have Chuck e cheese in Australia! I have distinct memories of going there for birthday parties in the 80s. Its was in Qld around the Carindale area

Gday mate😊 I am spending my Australia day in the bush camping. This is freedom 😊

Huntsman spiders can traverse water traps in the waste pipes. They hold air bubbles on their fur & can breath under water from the bubble. They will often hide under the shower grate when covered in babies to keep cool. Yeah

The spider in the shower. Last year I thought I felt something on my back. Shook the feeling off thinking it's just water. At the end of my shower saw a dead huntsman on the floor. EEEK PS the walk signal is not just Melbourne, its Australian. Flying over Arizona has spectacular arid unvegetated views too.

Vegemite can also be used as a marinade for red meat, I was sceptical at first tò but it was pretty darn tasty 😋

the bird at the end is a lyre bird. Worth checking out their mimicking skills. You will be surprised

The water on the harbour bridge pic looks calm because of long exposure time. And the bird with the long tail is a superb lyrebird.

what you don't see in the harbor bridge photo is all the bloody birds swirling around the lights at the top lol.

Gum trees are always about ready to busrt open with fire from natural oils. Yes the wood is hot.

Vegemite on crumpets is the shizz. 👌👍

I love in the Blue Mountains and there are often some lyrebirds in my yard.

Ian, with the gumtrees on the thermal camera, gum trees can absorb a lot of heat, especially in the summer (they have to to survive a hot Australian summer) and when it gets critical they have been known to spontaneously burst into flames, although rarely witnessed. It's also a reason Australian Bushfires are so hot, it's the oil in the eucalyptus that boils and explodes causing extreme trauma to everything around it. And yet, gum trees use fire to regenerate, as many gum trees have seed pods that can only be opened by fire. Yeah, it's a weird country I live in, but I wouldn't swap it for anything.

I believe the last bird can mimic other sounds really well and one was found to make the sound of a chainsaw.

If a restaurant offers sweet potato fries. I’m going for them. Happy Australia Day Ian 🎉

The bird in the Blue Mountains is a lyre bird. They are amazing mimucs..they do camera shutters, chainsaws, car alarms and other birds, like the kookaburra. You should check out their videos. 😊

I remember when you received a parcel that was opened and had nothing in it. The bird is a lyrebird

As an australian restaurant owner I wont stop until all american fast food chains are out of our country

Tail feathers shake it 😂

Cockatoo on the socks Ian. The Superb Lyrebird at the end, the one that mimics other birds and all kinds of sounds.

Aussie burgers often have beetroot..it's tinned pickled beetroot so takes the place of dill pickles. If you try it, drain it well first so no sogginess. 🤤

We add a smidgeon of Vegemite to mashed potatoes or mashed pumpkin. That’s how we started our kids on Vegemite as toddlers. Also great in stock.

interesting fact about Wagyu and Kobi beef, they are bred and raised in Australia, there is a plant here called saltbush, which helps create the marbling

Lyre bird. Great sounds mimics

its a lyre bird ,But that's a whole new rabbit hole

7:30 in... I need to try a lamb burger ! You are right, I have never seen one before. I like lamb, grew up with it (my mother is from the Faroe islands)

1978 Australia had fourteen million

Vegemite goes beautifully on toast and dunked in hot coffee mmm

Thermal imaging doesn't show things that are hot, it shows the heat gradients, so anything slightly warmer than the surroundings will show up as bright. The reason the trees appear "hot" under thermal imaging is because the wood fibers in trees trap heat, preventing it from escaping.

17:30 lyrebird - amazing mimic

Harry's won't hurt you lol

In Luxembourg, you sometimes have sound for seing impaired crossing the street but it is not always the case (rather not the case), but you do have bumps and other things that marks the spot. The law is clear about the fact that pedestrians have the priority over cars on the street... you can cross the street wherever you want (even on a highway I think, but don't do that hehe) and if there is an accident the car driver will always be at fault (he has to be aware of pedestrians crossing the streets randomly at ever given time or place on the road). I am Danish so I go the country a lot and there you have a lot more sounds etc for seing impaired people even in small towns etc. But thumbs up for Australia doing this.

A WORLDWIDE Karen and Darren sign is a must!

Yep that bird in the Blue Mountains is a Lyrebird. When you're there you'll hear them making lots of other bird sounds.

Vegemite all day 🤣

Bagels and Vegemite are so yummy🇦🇺

that's a 10 cent bird

Its a lyrebird they can imitate any sound especialy the scary ones such as a whip cracking a gun shot and the most sacriest one of all a mother in law

not only do the walk now things make noise for visually impaired people they also vibrate for hearing impaired people

I’m not surprised that Grill’d has Japanese food and drinks since we have so much cattle trade with them. A quick google search just showed multiple sources saying that our wagyu is a cross between Japanese wagyu and Aussie cattle. I’d say this cross breeding is to make the cattle better acclimated to our country. Most of our cattle are crosses from bos indicus (hot weather cattle like Brahmans) and bos taurus (cold weather cattle like Hereford) because they cold weather ones don’t do well here except in the most southern regions of Australia. Angus cattle thrive here even though they are bos taurus, could be some cross breeding going on there too.

Lyrebird is on our 10 cent coin

8:26 can confirm - glass bottles

I can remember back in the 60s when we had 6 million people in Aus

🧦Cockatoo socks 😊

In the Strzelecki Forest is an area set aside just for lyrebird walking track near Latrobe Valley in South Gippsland area.

happy australia day

We just hit 28million Population this week😊

Hat Head is very close to where I live it’s beautiful.

I live in FNQ and yea ur right it’s far North Queensland the Great Barrier Reef is my backyard … the plane and truck of off an old at here for insurance .. dude runs into a charter boat his mum puts a tea-towel on her head and say ‘Charter boat what charter boat’

17:12 I used to live in a small bush camp at the southern end of that beach.

Cook-a-ba-ra if you want to learn to pronounce it. Love your enthusiasm for us down under, glad you love our home. It’s always the same though lots of aussies especially the younger ones wish they were American. Much love from Mullaloo, northern suburbs of Perth. Keep doing what you do it’s always great to watch.

Thermal cameras show a range of temperature, the 'hot' areas may be only just a few degrees above the cold areas.

Bird at the end is a lyrebird. They can mimmick almost any sound they hear including chainsaws and car alarms. Theres videos about them on youtube.

The lyre bird is on the 10c coin it’s been there since 1966. The bird you found was not lost.

The bird at the end looks like a lyre bird the one one that mimics noises it hears

Gumtrees are full of oil. They stay hot after sun goes down. Sometimes known to spontaneously burst into fire. Yep. The trees are hot

I love Australia, don´t get me wrong but I love the paper drones that make the Orcs life a hell. It´s a genius design 👍❤ But when it comes to Submarines, omg, how lost Australian Politicians are.

That bird is a lyrebird native to my to my area in the Blue Mountains

Vegemite & butter on Vita-weet !

How is it that the U.S. is the 2nd biggest importer of Australian lamb yet most U.S. reactors that I've seen talking about food seem to say they never eat and rarely see it (China imports over 14 million Kilos and the U.S. takes over 11 million .) Where does it all go then?

Theyre sulphur crested cockatoos, Ian, with the yellow on top....Kookaburras are larger birds, and the have a long beak...

News headline last week - "Woman bitten by 2nd deadliest snake, while asleep in her bed". Yep, it is really as bad as the memes say.

its a cockatoo f f s ...on the socks

Tell Chuck e Cheese to do their research. Don't make a Starbucks mistake and try and force the US menu on us without at least having some local options..

Grill'd are much better than Macca's or Hungry Jacks, at least their burgers look like burgers and not just something squashed within an inch of it's life down to a pancake which does not resemble anything like a burger. A chain where you can sit down and eat inside or alfresco. Also you can contribute to the chain donating to a charity by placing your drink cap in a container of your choice representing a charity. Hat Head headland looks like a hat, hence the name! Population growth: 27mill: we reached 27mill 15 years earlier than projected. Colesworth: was at Woolies yesterday, went to self serve, stood in a long slow line, reason, all of us with fruit or vegies, which needed weighing, had to wait, the occasional person with other items and no fruit or vegies, was allowed to get in front of us and were sent to the service desk to be processed. Hey Woolies, have you ever thought that it may be easier and quicker for there to be a dedicated checkout with a real person for we people with fruit and vegies to go to and then all the other people could move through the self check outs quickly! Der!!! You may end up with happier customers and customers who just feel really pissed off and not valued!

The birds on the socks are cockatoos

Its a Lyrebird....i live in the Blue Mountains. 👍

Cant beet a root pickled and griilled pineapple

Would have been either during the day, or just after sunset using the thermal camera, the tree will hold heat for a few hours.. later in the night the koala will show higher heat. OR the camera is a cheap one that picks up light more than heat and makes it look like a thermal image where it's more like an I.R. camera..
