'Australia is a different planet': Expat shares her mind-blowing realisation about the country
- Replies 17
Australia is often affectionately referred to as 'The Land Down Under'.
However, a video that recently made rounds online had people around the globe wondering if it might as well be on a different planet altogether.
Molly-Mae, a newcomer to Australia, shared her amazement online as she witnessed people embracing the day with otherworldly vigour.
Molly-Mae's footage captured Bondi Beach at the crack of dawn, brimming with locals soaking up the sunrise.
This video left many viewers in awe of the Australian lifestyle—and a little envious, too.
The video quickly racked up over 800,000 views and sparked conversations about the Aussie way of life.
The scenes in the video epitomised a vitality and zest for life that many dream of.
'I swear Australia is a different planet,' Molly-Mae wrote in the video.
'Everyone else in the world: snooze alarm. People in Bondi Australia...' she further wrote.
'No hangovers here, just run clubs, surfers, coffees, and sunrises.'
Some social media users were inspired and shared their desire to head to Australia.
'This is 1000 times better of a way to live than drinking and wasting away your mornings in bed,' one viewer commented.
'The best way to start the day is to have coffee while watching the day start in the sky,' another wrote.
The video served as a siren call for many viewers worldwide, as they were tempted by the promise of Australia's natural beauty and vibrant culture.
'Fine, I'm moving there,' one person declared.
'This just confirmed that my next trip needs to be here,' another wrote.
However, not everyone was ready to sing Australia's praises.
Some pointed out that Bondi Beach, while beautiful, could also be a victim of its popularity.
'Overcrowded, overpriced, and pretentious,' one critic wrote.
Others commented that it was 'such an awful place' and had 'way too many people'.
Several commenters even shared their preference for colder climates, in contrast to sunny Australia.

Bondi Beach has been attracting about 2.9 million visitors annually.
It is undeniably one of Australia's most visited tourist spots to date.
Its reputation as a hotspot for both locals and tourists alike has been well-earned, but it's clear that the beach's allure is not as universal as people believe.
The beauty of Australia is that it offers something for everyone.
Whether you're an early riser keen to catch the first light of day or someone who prefers a quieter, more secluded spot, this vast country has a corner that will feel just right.
