Australia and New Zealand Two countries in Oceania...more specifically…Australasia.
2
Separated by the Tasman Sea, they’re two well developed countries that often rank really high on nearly every quality of life ranking list and are, uh, pretty awesome.
3
Both seem to be kind of far away from the entire rest of the world, and kind of in their own little world since they’re both so unique.
4
Let’s first look at some differences between the two.
5
First of all, New Zealand doesn’t exist.
6
Ok, ok, that’s just basically a meme at this point that started since so many world maps were leaving out New Zealand.
7
In fact, there’s even a large subreddit dedicated to them.
8
But don’t believe the hype.
9
New Zealand, in fact, DOES exist.
10
See, there it is.
11
Australia exists, too, but it’s about 29 times bigger than New Zealand.
12
It’s the sixth largest country in the world, baby.
13
That said, it only has around five times as many people.
14
(A- 25.7 million, NZ- 5 million) Why?
15
Well, check this map out.
16
Only 2% of the population of Australia lives in the yellow area.
17
And why does only 2% of the population of Australia live in that yellow area?
18
That’s because much of it is desert or near desert.
19
35% of the Australian continent doesn’t get enough rain.
20
But what about up here?
21
Well few live here mostly just because it’s so isolated from the rest of the population of Australia.
22
Only one metropolitan area in New Zealand has a population over one million people.
23
That’d be the magnificent Auckland.
24
Australia, meanwhile, has five metro areas with over one million people.
25
Its two biggest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, each have more people than the ENTIRE COUNTRY OF NEW ZEALAND.
26
Being so much bigger, Australia has a wider range of different types of climates.
27
New Zealand has mostly an oceanic climate, whereas Australia is, well just look at this map.
28
As I said earlier, much of it is desert or semi-arid.
29
I should probably now bring up the sparsely populated area famously known as the Outback.
30
While the Outback is typically only associated with the dry parts, it also includes the northern areas of Australia that have a savanna climate.
31
Basically, the huge area in Australia where humans don’t dare live.
32
It’s a magical place.
33
And believe it or not, Australia has a little bit of rainforest and parts have a monsoon climate.
34
Along the eastern coast, southeastern coast and island state of Tasmania, where most of the population lives by the way, Australia has a mostly oceanic and humid subtropical climate, but don’t forget the lovely Mediterranean climate along parts of the southern and southwestern coasts.
35
That’s also where a lot of Australians live.
36
Australia has a more varied landscape, and this magnificent sandstone formation, Uluru, one of the most important indigenous sites in the country.
37
New Zealand’s mountains are way more impressive and tower over Australia’s mountains.
38
In fact, many people not from Australia forget that Australia actually has mountains.
39
Meanwhile, everyone seems to know about New Zealand’s dramatic mountains due to the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films.
40
The producer of those films, Peter Jackson, is from New Zealand, and he almost single handedly put New Zealand on the map due to those films.
41
Remember how I said it’s often not on maps?
42
Sorry for the bad joke there.
43
Anyway, you can visit the actual Shire from the film today.
44
And fun fact!
45
My uncles lived in New Zealand while they worked on the Lord of the Rings films.
46
What was I talking about again?
47
Oh yes, mountains!
48
New Zealand’s highest peak is around 1500 meters taller than Australia’s highest peak.
49
Well mainland Australia at least.
50
No one seems to care about you Mawson Peak, way over on Australia’s Heard island.
51
New Zealand sits on the infamous Ring of Fire, an area where lots of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions tend to occur.
52
Australia doesn’t have to worry about volcanoes.
53
Also, since Australia sits on top of a very stable tectonic plate with no active faults, residents there don’t have to worry much about large earthquakes.
54
New Zealanders, on the other hand, have to worry about a major earthquake at least once every ten years.
55
Related to this, both Australia and New Zealand occasionally have to worry about tsunamis.
56
Australia gets hit more by cyclones.
57
While both countries have to worry about floods and wildfires, Australia is more often in the news for them.
58
Also, while bushfires are a regular thing in Australia, it had one of the worst bushfire seasons in recorded history from September 2019 to March 2020.
59
It was catastrophic and a bit horrifying, to say the least.
60
New Zealand is made up of islands.
61
Australia is mostly made up of a continent.
62
Liam: Well actually, some people actually call Australia a really big island Mr. Beat: Well that’s preposterous.
63
What a silly notion.
64
Australia is clearly a continent.
65
Liam: I mean, I agree with you, but that doesn’t stop the millions of people out there from calling it an island.
66
Mr. Beat: Well someone needs to stop them.
67
Liam, you must stop them.
68
Liam: Uh, well I don’t know if that’s possible, Mr. Beat.
69
However, I can make a video looking at why some people think Australia is an island.
70
Mr. Beat: Right on.
71
Can you have it done by the time I’m done with this video?
72
Liam: I’ll see what I can do Mr. Beat: Dang, that’s awesome.
73
(Liam zooms off screen) Well I’m looking forward to seeing how that turns out.
74
So anyway, like I said, Australia is also mainly a continent, the oldest, flattest, and driest continually inhabited continent with the worst soil for farming.
75
And yes, New Zealand is made up of islands…around 600 of them, and they’re mostly remnants of a bigger land mass under the sea (Under the Sea!) called Zealandia.
76
Of those 600, however, only 13 are inhabited by humans.
77
Most of the population of New Zealand lives on the BIG TWO, the two larger main islands, the North Island, or Te Ika-a-Maui, and South Island, or Te Waipounamu.
78
Oh yeah? Well Australia has 8,222 islands, so it’s sooo much more than just a measly continent.
79
Many seem to forget that New Zealand is lower in latitude, I mean, higher in latitude gosh that’s confusing…it’s higher in latitude than most of Australia.
80
Further south ok?
81
Latitude-wise, Australia is more African than European by the way.
82
Australia borders the Indian Ocean.
83
New Zealand borders the Pacific Ocean.
84
East of New Zealand is just wow.
85
Quite a bit of ocean there.
86
And quite a bit of ocean west of Australia, too.
87
Australians are often called Aussies and New Zealanders are often called Kiwis.
88
That name comes from the kiwi, a flightless bird native to the country that’s also a national symbol.
89
Here is a Kiwi holding a kiwi.
90
New Zealand is growing at a faster rate.
91
(A- 1.3%, NZ- 2.1%) The cost of living is lower in New Zealand.
92
Not only that, but residents there generally pay lower taxes than residents in Australia.
93
Australia has a higher GDP per capita.
94
(A- $51,812.15 USD, NZ- $41,791.79 USD).
95
That said, wealth inequality is a bit worse there.
96
Also, New Zealand spends a higher percentage of its total GDP on education.
97
(A- 5.3%, NZ- 6.4%) Major industries in Australia include mining, energy, manufacturing, and financial services.
98
Major industries in New Zealand include agriculture, forestry, tourism, and food processing.
99
New Zealand generally has faster internet speeds.
100
While sheep outnumber humans in Australia 3 to 1, sheep outnumber humans in New Zealand 6 to 1.
101
Residents of Australia are generally more religious.
102
The biggest religion there is Christianity.
103
Within that group, most are Protestant.
104
Almost half of New Zealanders have no religion.
105
There’s no big highway that goes straight through Australia east to west.
106
I mean, there’s the Outback Highway, a series of roads and dirt tracks that link the east and west, but uh, I ain’t trusting that, dude.
107
There is a north-south highway that links Adelaide and Darwin, though.
108
Stuart Highway, aka “The Track.” It’s just a 31-hour drive!
109
There’s a weird tradition in New Zealand of going places without shoes, apparently.
110
You know, I think they’re on to something there.
111
New Zealand legalized same-sex marriage more than four years before Australia.
112
Australia has possibly the world’s longest fence, meant to prevent the dingoes from killing sheep in the southeastern part of the country.
113
In fact, it’s even called the Dingo Fence.
114
Due to its long geographic isolation, most of Australia’s mammals, amphibians, and reptiles are uniquely native to it.
115
New Zealand has hardly any dangerous animals.
116
Australia, on the other hand, has the most animals with the most deadly venom.
117
Sure, it's known for its cuddly koalas, wombats, and kangaroos, but many of its native animals will actively try to KILL YOU, from sharks, to jellyfish, to snakes.
118
That said, this may all be overhyped.
119
In fact, due to antivenom inventions, these two horrifying spiders native to Australia haven’t killed anyone there since 1979.
120
Australia has one of the highest electoral turnout rates in the world.
121
Why? Well, probably because it’s mandatory for citizens there to vote.
122
Not in New Zealand, though.
123
While medical marijauna is legal in both countries, parts of Australia have either decriminalized or straight up legalized it.
124
Hey speaking of…uh…parts.
125
New Zealand is divided into 16 regions.
126
Australia has six states, three internal territories, and seven external territories.
127
So what’s the difference between states and territories there?
128
Well states have more freedom to do their own thing.
129
Territories are more under the direct control of the federal government.
130
Hey speaking of government, while both have a parliamentary system, representative democracies, and constitutional monarchies, Australia is a federation.
131
And speaking of that, New Zealand once had the opportunity to become part of that federation.
132
Yep, it could have been part of Australia, but turned it down.
133
Oh hey, let’s look at some history now, shall we?
134
Humans have lived in Australia up to 64,000 years before they’ve lived in New Zealand.
135
Aboriginal Australians, or a name given to the various groups of people who all first settled Australia, likely arrived by sea from Asia and developed a hunter-gatherer lifestyle.
136
Over a period of time of tens of thousands of years, the climate of Australia drastically changed.
137
The earliest humans reached modern-day Tasmania around 30,000 years ago.
138
Back then, it was connected to the continent via a land bridge.
139
The first Torres Strait Islanders arrived from what is now Papua New Guinea around 2,500 years ago.
140
New Zealand, meanwhile, was one of the last places settled by humans on earth.
141
It wasn’t until 1,000 years ago, or maybe as recent as 750 years ago, that the Māori first arrived on canoes.
142
The Dutch were the first Europeans to come across both places.
143
In 1606, the Dutch explorer Willem Janszoon first landed in Australia.
144
36 years later, the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman spotted New Zealand, but never settled there.
145
The same year Janszoon had landed in Australia, the Spanish explorer Luis Vaz de Torres checked out the Torres Strait and its associated islands which is why they’re all named after him.
146
However, it was the Dutch who came back in greater numbers to check out Australia, which they called New Holland, of course.
147
Not many stuck around to live, though.
148
Around 1720ish, some Makassar people from modern-day Indonesia came down to settle Australia.
149
And then there was that James Cook dude, an extremely influential British explorer and cartographer.
150
He first checked out, mapped out, and claimed New Zealand for Britain in 1769, and then checked out, mapped out, and claimed the eastern coast of Australia for Britain the next year.
151
The French came to both places soon after that, looking at possible colonization, but they became a bit preoccupied and never followed through.
152
The British, however, did.
153
In 1788, they arrived to settle, establishing the colony of New South Wales, specifically at Sydney Cove on January 26, which today is Australia's national day, Australia Day.
154
Many of the first settlers of Sydney were British convicts.
155
Criminals. Mostly for petty crimes, but ya know.
156
Over the next 100 years, the British would establish several other colonies across the entire continent.
157
Similar to when the British established colonies in North America, at first they tried to live somewhat harmoniously with the various indigenous people of Australia, who, ya know, had already been there for tens of thousands of years.
158
However, similar to North America, the indigenous population had little resistance to several introduced diseases they brought over.
159
Smallpox, measles, influenza, typhoid, and tuberculosis possibly shrunk the Aboriginal population up to 70%.
160
And then of course, future British settlers weren’t as kind to the natives, and they took land that many indigenous folks claimed was supposed to be communal.
161
This led to much conflict, especially in the early 1800s.
162
Meanwhile, things were a bit more chill in New Zealand.
163
The first British settlers there were mostly Christian missionaries, and they lived at Rangihoua Bay beginning in 1815.
164
They founded Kerikeri in 1822 and Bluff in 1823.
165
The Maori and British mostly got along, at least until the New Zealand Wars broke out.
166
What a surprise, treaties had been broken and the Maori got upset.
167
Even though the Maori were greatly outnumbered and had inferior weapon technology, they put up a good fight for decades, but ultimately lost most of their land and livelihood.
168
Most of the new settlers in both places did the the whole farming thing, but land in Australia wasn’t as fertile as many were hoping it would be.
169
However, mining also became a thing.
170
Gold rushes caused the Australian population to more than double between 1851 and 1860.
171
New Zealand also had some gold rushes in the 1860s.
172
Meanwhile, Australia and New Zealand, being literally on the other side of the world from Britain, had been becoming more and more independent.
173
The British Parliament did allow a form of self-government to the Australian colonies and the Colony of New Zealand.
174
By the 1880s, though, a huge nationalist movement had developed in Australia.
175
Surprisingly, a huge feminist movement had developed in New Zealand also by that time.
176
In 1893, New Zealand became the absolute first country in the world to give women the right to vote.
177
But hey, nine years later, Australia became the second country in the world to finally let women vote.
178
Oh, and uh…that was the year after Australia became an independent country.
179
Australia said New Zealand could join up, but New Zealand was like “naw man, we’re cool.” Australia was like “suit yourself,” and carried on.
180
Instead, New Zealand earned “Dominion” status in 1907, which was similar to Australia so it has pretty much been an independent country ever since as well.
181
Only in the 1900s did the population of both countries really start to grow.
182
And grow they did, although both today are still sparsely populated.
183
Alright then, yeah… for the rest of the video, let’s uh…look at the similarities between the two countries.
184
Due to the aforementioned legacy of the British, the majority of residents of both countries speak English.
185
Maori and New Zealand Sign Language are also official languages in New Zealand.
186
Residents of both countries have different accents, although for outsiders that may be hard to pick up.
187
One way to tell is how they say their vowels.
188
Aussies tend to draw out vowels compared to Kiwis.
189
According to the World Happiness Index, residents of both are generally among the happiest in the world.
190
Probably related to this, both have very low poverty.
191
Both have a high percentage of residents born in another country.
192
(A- 30%, NZ- 27.4%).
193
And if YOU are interested in moving to either (‘cause ya know you want to be happy, too) know that both are two of the easiest countries to immigrate to in the world.
194
Because of this high immigration, both are ethnically diverse.
195
While the majority of residents trace their background to Europe, more than 16% of Australians and 12% of New Zealanders trace their ancestry to Asia.
196
New Zealand also still has a large Māori population.
197
Māori culture remains a big part of New Zealand culture today.
198
Both have a similar median household income.
199
The minimum age to drink alcohol in both is 18.
200
Both have areas with weird time zones.
201
Both have flags that are often confused since they’re so similar since they both feature the British Union Jack in the top left corner and stars.
202
An easy way to know the difference is that New Zealand’s stars are red with anger from constantly getting mixed up with Australia’s.
203
The ozone layer is thinner above both countries compared to most of the rest of the world.
204
As I said earlier, both are two of the most sparsely populated countries in the world.
205
Australia, in particular.
206
Sure, it may account for just over 5% of the world’s land area, but it has just .3% of the global population.
207
A big reason why is urbanization.
208
Hey speaking of which, both are two of the most urbanized countries in the world.
209
Odds are, if you live in either country, you live in a city.
210
Both have versions of universal healthcare.
211
Related to this, both have a really high life expectancy.
212
(A- 82.9, NZ- 81.7) The median age in both is about the same.
213
(A- 37, NZ- 37.4) Regarding violent crime, both are two of the safest countries in the world.
214
Both have historically had to deal with LOTs of invasive species, or non-native types of organisms introduced to an area that become way overpopulated and hurt the local environment.
215
As I said earlier, many people who live in both have recent ancestors from other parts of the world, and those ancestors brought lots of animals with them that had no natural predators.
216
In other words, no one eats them.
217
Because of this, in Australia, they’ve had to deal with an overpopulation of European rabbits, deer, cane toads, and honey bees, as well as wild herds of cats, goats and horses.
218
And believe it or not, Australia is the only country in the world with wild herds of camels.
219
Oh, and there was that mice plague last year.
220
Goodness gracious.
221
New Zealand also has its fair share of invasive species…many of the same ones as Australia but other standouts like rats, possums, and weasels, but it has been a bit more aggressive getting rid of them in recent years.
222
Residents of both often call the undeveloped areas of their countries “the bush.” Rugby is ridiculously popular in both.
223
And of course there’s all the sports rivalries between the two, the biggest probably revolving around rugby and rugby league, of course, but also cricket and netball.
224
All these weird sports Down Under.
225
Oh, “Down Under” is what folks often call these two countries since they're “down under” most other countries, meaning they’re pretty far south, man.
226
Coincidentally, “Down Under” by Men at Work is also the national anthem of Australia.
227
Just kidding.
228
But shout out to Australian music.
229
No offense, New Zealand, but in my humble opinion Australia’s music is defo way better.
230
Don’t believe me?
231
Name one New Zealand band off the top of your head.
232
Exactly. Also, there’s this Australian band called King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard that wrote a song about me, so that’s pretty rad and stuff.
233
And one final thing.
234
In 2006, an Australian tried to sell New Zealand on Ebay.
235
In conclusion, while there is indeed a bit of rivalry OVERALL today between Australia and New Zealand, I think they will always have this special bond due to being on the edge of the globe far away from most of it all.
236
They really are two special, amazing countries.
237
Oh before we go, I almost forgot.
238
Liam? Liam: Yes, Mr. Beat?
239
Mr. Beat: Did you happen to get done with your video?
240
Liam: Why yes I did, and I’m happy to report that Australia is an island continent.

242
And contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 total return by 174% from 1995 to 2020.

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
