"The Wizards of Aus" is an UrbanFantasy comedy series on Youtube. Fed up with the Magical Realm’s obsession with large-scale fantasy warfare, Jack the Wizard decides to migrate to the sanest place he can think of: Melbourne’s Western suburbs.

Unfortunately, his presence alone is going to turn it less sane a place, especially when his old life decides to follow him.

The series is now completed with a total of six episodes, all available [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJSMFXYSojXotCa_NrjYM54ICmSmmCygg here]].

!Tropes found in "The Wizards of Aus" include:

* BrickJoke: [[spoiler:The wizard kiss.]]
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Jack quickly decides to abstain from using magic in his new home. This is played out as a different kind of an abstinence more than once.
* EnfantTerrible: Baby Bones is quite literally a living baby skeleton, and ObviouslyEvil, yet no one in-universe seems capable of seeing this and consider him adorable.
* FantasticRacism: Terry, Jack's [[FishPeople shark-man]] friend, is at the receiving end of this from his workmates.
* HurricaneOfPuns: Upon being told to try dating again, the numerous accidental horse puns do not help Jack forget about his old flame - a unicorn.
* PowerIncontinence: Jack occasionally has hard time keeping his magic in him: upon first arriving to Australia, a mere sneeze was enough to cause an issue.
* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Completely averted, with an axe to the face. That is why you don't sass.
* UrbanFantasy: The story is set in real-world Melbourne, Australia, a completely mundane place until the wizards start to settle in.
* WizardClassic: Jack has the usual attire of hat, beard, and staff, and tends to carry these along even when he is trying not to actively use magic.
