The Bob Katter reference jump-scared me more than the Huntsman 😫

"ungodly rizz, namastay cobbers" a sentence that has never been uttered. how have i just found this channel, loving it. you make Latin cool AF

I'd love a video on native edible flora. The finger lime has gotten most of the spotlight, but there's a lot of cool underappreciated native edibles out there that are great for backyard growing even if you are a shut in

Bro. I clicked on this thinking, “oh yeah, I like native plants.” I was not expecting to laugh out loud MULTIPLE TIMES, and not expecting to be laughing so hard I had to pause the video to catch my breath. You’re informative, hilarious, you give interesting facts. You’re so good.

this channel is such a comfort. It's so nice to have someone who speaks like you saying "hey, animals and plants are cool too, don't you think?"

"With no one else in the previous sixty thousand years having seen one."

Good shot!

I've seen a branch fall on to a wattle in full bloom. The cloud of pollen was something to behold (and not inhale lmao)

You know for a fact it's a true Aussie classic if it's adorning the Maccas' carpark

Great job as usual, Darcy. You should know, it is so clear the amount of energy and effort you put into these videos. The research, the time and the extraordinary introspective consideration that goes into navigating and expressing your talented narrations. These mini-doccos are educational, which is what you desire but they are also jam-packed with laughter and surprise. All of these things combined are subsequently the reason so many subscribers and viewers alike keep coming back. This comment is to sincerely express the unsaid appreciation of your work.

I just gotta say man, as someone who works in a natives nursery : thank you, a million times, for this video but in particular your words of wisdom at the end - you echoed a sentiment I didn't have the words for but always felt.

Love your channel, keep up the fantastic work! Your videos always brighten mine and my daughter's day.

This video needs to become a part of the Australian schooling curriculum

[Luminauss]

Such a great mix of humour and respect for indigenous culture 💚

[LostSwagman]

Ever since covid lockdowns I’ve developed a love for all things nature, my dad and myself turned our yard into a native garden, it’s beautiful.

Shut in flora Stan here, I feel both personally attacked and perfectly catered to, thanks
