I'm an American who's been living in Australia since leaving the US right after 9/11. And no matter how much you prepare, you can never prepare enough. It is a completely different culture that takes time getting use to. The country has been very good to me. And I love it. Adelaide is my home!

Well done Ryan on picking up the flag 🇦🇺

In Australia, we value trades as a career. So electrians, fitters, construction workers and carpenters are careers that people can aspire to. We don't treat the people that build our country like they are less than someone with a degree.

Several points from an Aussie: 1) Kangaroos are cute, until you run into one with your car, which we did yesterday. They run all over the road and you have no way of knowing which way they will jump. Luckily for us and the roo, it jumped up and away. 2) We value our tradies, they are a fabulous part of our economy and we treat them with the respect they deserve. 3) Visitors complain about the slow wifi but it works and I've always thought it was OK. I suppose in this instant gratification world, it might not be considered the best. But all in all, and I have been to quite a few other countries, albeit not for any great length of time, I'm more than happy in my little town of 700 people in country NSW

Our quokkas are the happiest and cutest animals on the planet.

Tangalooma Wrecks History
In spite of what many people seem to think, it’s no coincidence that fifteen vessels happened to run aground in the exact same spot. In fact, the old dredging ships were deliberately sunk off the coast of Moreton Island, near Brisbane, Australia in the 1960s to create a break wall from small boats. It also managed to attract scores of reef fish and marine life, thereby creating a popular wreck dive and snorkel site.

Our "tradies" - etc - are some of the highest earners in Australia. I know people that mow lawns and do gardening etc who work for themselves and they make easily over 100k a year.

Our high minimum wage is one reason our cost of living is relatively high - but it's also why tipping isn't a thing (which is a blessing 😅)

I was a self employed domestic cleaner until a couple of years ago I charged $50.00 per hour and supplied nothing just the labour, there were four of us doing this and life was sweet. We worked a five hour day and had time to spend with our families

Australia is one of the highest traveling nations per capita in the world, particularly for the young, I believe that New Zealand is the highest. At age 67, I have been very privileged to travel to 60 different countries, and my brother over 100. If you ever get the chance I realize your financial situation may not be the same. there are so many wonderful places to see... I live in Melbourne and it is very multi-ethnic with people from every nation on earth. Traveling gives you a new perspective on so many things.

The shot of the cliffs and the sea reminds me of an event that happened along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria many years ago. There used to be a feature called London Bridge, which was a rocky span that formed a natural bridge over the sea from the mainland to a rock jutting up out of the water. People used to walk across it all the time. On one particular day some people walked across and shortly after the bridge collapsed behind them into the sea, leaving them stranded on the rock, unable to return. It eventually took a helicopter to lift them off and return them to the mainland. They were certainly blessed that the bridge collapsed after they'd crossed instead of when they were still on it.

Well done Ryan on picking up on the flag 👏

Don't know about any other Aussies I'm so happy we are not over populated like other countries.

[leojansen]

Most of us here in Australia won't get out of bed for less then 30 dollars an hour.

"She'll be right" is a shortening of "She'll be alright".... we just shorten the "alright" part

I grew up on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. Those beach pools are fantastic. As kids we would hold onto the railing and let the waves wash us into the pool. So much fun!!!

Everyone talks about our unique animals but forget about the birds and plants which are just as different.
