Members of the subreddit Australia regularly share candid glimpses into this corner of the world—whether it’s the nation's dry humor or its even drier landscapes, their posts touch on almost every aspect of everyday life there, painting a vivid picture for anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of it.

Yep, we all have them in our front gardens in Australia ........................the bushes I mean!!
To learn more about this beautiful country, we reached out to Australian travel writer Tess Moone, who shares her adventures on the blog Tessomewhere.
"Australia's sheer diversity of landscapes never ceases to amaze me, from the burnt red sands of the north to the tropical rainforests in the east and picture-perfect beaches with crystal-clear water in the south," Tess told Bored Panda. "Its vastness means you could spend a lifetime exploring and still be awed by the contrasts between regions - it often feels like you're traveling through multiple countries within one!"
We also spoke to Jade Collins, co-founder of Salty Aura, an Australian sustainable brand she created with her partner, Jake, offering aesthetic rugs, bedding, and more, who said, "Australia is so unique because it's so easy to escape the hustle and bustle and head slightly inland to feel like you're the only person on earth.
"Nearly 40% of the country is uninhabitable due to the dry desert conditions, and more than 80% of the country's population lives within 50 kilometers [31 miles] of the coast. This is why it's so well known for some of the best beaches in the world, and why it's so easy to escape to the desert and camp amongst the unpolluted stars in outback Australia and enjoy some solitude," Jade added.

Aussie Birds Are So Unique And Beautiful!

Australia is famous for its dangerous fauna. It is home to some of the world's most venomous snakes and spiders, and many outsiders believe that you're risking a confrontation pretty much every minute you spend there.
However, according to Tess Moone, the notion that lethal wildlife lurks around every corner is one of the biggest misconceptions about the country. "Many tourists worry about sharks and spiders, but in reality, having lived by the beach my whole life, I've never encountered a shark," she said.
"While it's important to be mindful and shark-aware, the chances of an encounter are very low."

"People also think they should head straight to the east coast when travelling Australia, but if you want a more authentic experience, west and northern Australia are so much better with incredible beaches and outback adventures," she shared.

She was offered a stage show and a movie .. how lucky is that? She can't seem to see her ineptness at this very precise artform of rap dancing not pushing the body off the ground around a circle or two and hopping up and down.

We Found An Echidna This Morning In Our Yard. Little Dude Was So Chill. Just Waddling Around
Cybele Spanjaard 11 months ago
So sweet so small and so delicate be kind to them they are just going about their business.
However, when planning your itinerary, remember that while Australia is the smallest continent, it's still an enormous country. Spanning roughly 7.7 million square kilometers (or 3 million square miles), it’s nearly the same size as the contiguous United States.
"My top tip [for tourists] is not to underestimate the distances between destinations—Australia is massive!" Tess Moone, said. "Many visitors cram too much into a short one or two-week holiday and spend more time traveling than appreciating the beauty of the place."
"Another tip is to venture beyond the typical tourist hotspots on the East Coast, like Sydney and Cairns (home to the Great Barrier Reef). The west coast, my home state, is spectacular and arguably has some of Australia's best beaches," Moone highlighted. "Plus, with the addition of direct flights from Europe to Perth, reaching Western Australia has never been easier."

Not pets but we often feed them fruit ( not bread) or something they appreciate at times. The Ringtails are small with the longest smooth slender tails they cling to trees. We have many possum species from the tiny gliders to the Bushtails. They should never be kept as pets or in captivity. They are so delicate, that some of the babies die from falling out of a tree. They are very shy but still sleep under cover all day despite loud noises. ( We have both living here in our gardens and trees)

Our Maggies the Magpies are wonderful birds, yet some humans get all hyped up at the males swooping and bombing you on the head during nesting season. They are only protecting their offspring and mate. There are too many selfish and ignorant people who prefer to shoot them and have no interest in the ecology of where they live in Australia. Their only interest is in themselves. Some Councils seeking credence with their Ratepayers have, with many opposition protests, against the cruelty, agreed to dispense with the wonderful bird a swell. It is insane, to kill any bird who is protecting their nest. If one takes time to check out how to deter these bombing attacks there is no need to kill. Tie an ice cream container (or a cap) on your head, drawing two large eyes will keep them away. If nesting near your own home, offer them food suited to their diet, they will trust you then and never bomb you. All we did as kids and saved our heads!! We never killed them. We often rode our bikes.

A sweet family of Echidnas the mums usualy have 4 or 4 babies each birthing. They are tiny little rolly pollies. Between mating and egg-laying, a female echidna develops a pouch.

After somehow managing to nudge the leathery egg into her pouch(!), she stays in the shelter for 10 to 11 days, until the egg hatches

Ibis living in the Brisbane Botanical Gardens have figured out how to kill and eat Cane Toads. The toads excrete poison from pores on their back, when threatened, so, the Ibis picks the toad up by a leg, and bashes it against the ground (hulk style) until the toad runs out of poison. Then the Ibis washes it off thoroughly before eating it. I wonder if this can be taught to all predator birds?

The design also included the placement of five formal parks (Victoria in the middle and the smaller ones in each quadrant).

This layout is appealing. It's well thought out and kept to the grid pattern. My city started out on a grid pattern and then sort of wandered this way and that way.

Is this that one from the car chase in Dubbo nsw when the kid stole the cop car and joy rode in it? A few years ago now. I feel like I recognise the photo. Stole it from the cop shop and filmed the whole thing for Instagram or tiktok or some media platform

We had a similar thing in my old neighborhood, the home of a retired couple. They would sit on their porch in the morning to watch us go to school, and in the afternoon when we came home. They would take you in if there was trouble but also call your parents if you were the one causing trouble.

$100.00 Of Groceries From Coles, Perth

The oil in the back left would be the most expensive item. Then the mince/chicken burgers/cheese.
Schnitzel 11 months ago
Husband and I have never commented on cost in grocery store because we never by anything extremely expensive but the other day, we bought standard stuff like some cakes, milk and bread, dishwasher tablets and something else I forget what it was. It all came to 98 usd and that was the first time we looked at each other and said "what??!" Oh well

I'll back that up with the tomatoes, celery, and two cartons of eggs I bought the other day in the US. That was $25. By the way, why is your mince more minced than our mince?
DeoManus Argentem 11 months ago
I think they're bragging that it's a bargain, not expensive? $100AUD is like $60USD. I take it Coles is a discount shop? I'd love to get all that for $60USD (or even $100!) Here!

April Pickett 11 months ago
Here, in NC (USA) we pay a prepared food tax (surcharge?) but we don't pay a card use surcharge. I did find out that vendors here have to pay a percentage of the charges made by credit card (processing fee, usually 2-3%) in addition to what we pay in interest to the credit card company. If there is a way to make a buck and stick it to the customer, it will be found.
Damned_Cat 11 months ago
Many of our US restaurants are adding a surcharge these days. One of my favorite places calls it a facility charge. It's basically the cost for just sitting down at a table.
