That pool right next to the ocean is the Bondi Icebergs. You have to swim there all year around to be a member. Good place to meet friends.

[@craigst1300]

So happy to see you enjoyed visiting my hometown. Next time, be sure to explore the blue mountains west of Sydney and the south coast for some of the most whitest sand beaches in the world.

[@AlexanderAyling]

Yeah thank you Craig. Next time up to the mountains for sure. Have you seen part 2? Exploring Sydney Australia | Hidden Street Food, Chinatown & Manly Beach kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ2bkpmensace80

[@CFLO562]

I'm visiting Sydney for the first time in December, can I do the blue mountains on a day trip or is there somewhere else you'd recommend?

[@siw_rasmussen]

ugh.. the only problem with this vlog... is I wish it was so much longer!!!!! Loved every second of this

[@AlexanderAyling]

Part two drops tomorrow!!

[@Frank-rx8ch]

Well versed, well commentated, well researched, in your observation of NSW. Do enjoy your holiday.

[@nicoletripp3331]

I love Sydney. My husband, who refuses to ever travel, instantly fell in love with the city. He would love to live there.

[@AlexanderAyling]

Yeah it’s got a great lifestyle

[@mhollick63]

I enjoyed Sydney when I was there in 2018. Even caught an opera at the opera house.

[@AlexanderAyling]

That sounds like an unforgettable experience!

[@ianmaher4348]

Your vlogs are quite unique, with beautiful images, well presented, and intelligent commentary.

[@AlexanderAyling]

Thank you Ian. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@tinao8676]

Good to see a visitor's view of Sydney, positive and upbeat. We lived in rural Central NSW before moving to New Zealand and used to dread having to go into Sydney for whatever reason. You found the great spots to explore.

[@AlexanderAyling]

Thanks Tina - check out part 2. Exploring Sydney Australia | Hidden Street Food, Chinatown & Manly Beach kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ2bkpmensace80

What a lovely surprise! I was a Vagabrothers fan, and in doing research for an upcoming trip to Australia, I arrived here. "hey! I know that guy!" Your travel style is like my family's - learn about the history and culture of your destination, eat great food, and hang out like the locals. Thanks for some great tips!

[@AlexanderAyling]

I’m stoked you found me again :) Hope you have a great time in Sydney! Be sure to check out the rest of my content, lots to catch up on. All the best, Alex

Pleased you saw some of the touristy places but you also went to some other areas of Sydney. Guy Turland your Depot Chef friend, grew up in the Southern Highlands about a 90min drive south of Sydney. Thank you for your video 😊 Sydney is a diverse multicultural city, hope you enjoyed it?

Welcome to Sydney! So cool to be able to see our home town through your lens. If you're still around on Tuesday, it's ANZAC day in Australia, which is a public holiday in recognition of the ANZACs.

[@AlexanderAyling]

Hey Rese - did you see how clear that water was?!?

[@Richo732]

In Australia you'l find that the term "European" early setters or colonists is used pretty frequently, because a large proportion of arrivals in the convict and colonial era were Irish. Being predominantly from the Catholic south of Ireland they definitely didn't consider themselves "British." To them, the "British" were occupiers of their homeland.

[@kimnovak8985]

As an old Sydney girl who now lives in QLD. I don’t understand the tourist fascination of Bondi beach. I can name 50 other beaches in NSW that are just as nice looking if not better looking, less touristy, have less crime and have cheaper food than that tourist trap. No beach in Australia is rubbish looking but this Bondi fascination tourists have I don’t understand. Is it because it’s easier to say Bondi compared to Tamarama or Cloverly or Manly? Or is it because of the Bondi Rescue TV show?

[@petermcculloch4933]

I agree with you Kim.I dislike beaches that have replaced the natural surrounding with tar and cement.

[@pauls3852]

So now that Australia has changed back (to some degree) the rules to Aus citizenship for kiwis, any thoughts on uprooting once Carrie has her NZ passport? 1000 or so days & counting. Or are the sounds of running water, the wind in the leaves, birdsong and the sight of waddling ducks & chickens, the sheep in the meadow, mist over the pond & oo much to leave? Stay tuned folks O

Read too for oo. Good to see you're having a great holiday. I always enjoy the vids

[@AlexanderAyling]

Thank you Paul!

[@Al.531]

I don’t know how to contact you - I don’t have social media. I hope you see this comment?? Could you please do some videos around affording housing and travelling at the same time? Also how did your family take it when you got married without them? The cost of living is so high (everywhere) I’m in Australia. I want to travel more (29F) and my boyfriend wants to secure a house (30M). We have been together for 2 years and we haven’t travelled together. I’ve done a lot of travel and I really want him to experience it too. I just really need our first trip to be a good experience for him so he can see we can do both (house and travel). Okay so questions: 1) How do you and Carrie manage money to be able to afford grounding yourself and travelling too. 2) How did you and Carrie get on the same page about what you wanted in your early 30’s? There is so much pressure to buy a house, or pack-up and travel while you can, or get your career going, or have babies (all full-on big life changes). What were the questions and discussions you had to get on the same page/make a plan? 3) Any suggestions on where to travel for a first trip as a couple.

[@Al.531]

Ps. Loving your videos, both of your channels have great content. In particular I love your Milford sound trek and Dumbford boat trip (I think that is what it was called?) my partner really wants a house like your homestead where we can garden. Big thanks to both of your channels - your content is relatable and fun to watch 😊

Australian Indigenous were Stone Age tribes before 1788, they're not now; how is that a "continuous culture"?

[@anEyePhil]

They were not “Stone Age”. They made the first flying aerofoil, they cultivated and tended the land, they built complex fish traps in rivers. Sadly there is a history of racism in our British history, most of us whitefella Aussies respect the 240+ Indigenous nations, their art, science, culture and spiritual link to “Country”. Always was, always will be..
