Seems he is lacking some koala skills.
I don’t know how I’m going to tell our children not to climb on furniture when they can just say, “Well daddy does it!”

I’ve mentioned before that we had very different childhoods, so things that I grew up with, stories that I know well, mean nothing to him. May Gibbs was a famous Australian author and illustrator and many Australian children grew up reading her stories, especially the Snugglepot and Cuddlepie series.
There are types of trees in Australia called Banksia Trees which have these strange cones on them. The Big Bad Banksia Men are the bad guys in the stories and are basically these ugly cones on the trees. In the stories they have arms and legs but even in real life you can see ugly faces on them and the way they grow on trees makes them look like they are sitting up on the branches in groups.
Many times I’ve cringed as I’ve walked past Banksia trees because it seems like Banksia men are glaring down at me. They were so terrifying in the stories. It’s something my husband can’t understand at all because to him it’s just a tree!
Besides from the scary villains, the stories about gumnut babies are really wonderful. Look how cute gumnut babies are:
They are really beautiful books so if you have children I really recommend them. I’ll definitely be reading them to my children.

He told me this story because of the Titanic thing the other day. There are a lot of really boring times when doing military service so they like to act out scenes from movies to pass the time. Of course it made sense to do Titanic scenes because they were on a ship! The poor guys who were new were bossed around by those in a higher position and made to do things like this!

So you can either leave a comment on the YouTube video or on this blog post (just make sure you tell us your YouTube name as well.
Okay I don’t like him doing that in public but at home we’ve been belting out ‘My Heart Will Go On’….sorry to our neighbours. There may be another Titanic theme comic tomorrow too.
So I hope that explains a bit more about working holidays in Australia. If you have a question you can leave it in the comment section and we’ll try to answer it!
