The blue mountains national park is a must while visiting Sydney! The camera does not do this place justice!

[@lyndonmaddison5860]

When Burger King was setting up shop in Australia, they couldn't use the BK name as there already was a burger chain operating under that name here. So they came up with the name of Hungry Jacks for their restaurants. A few years later, the original Burger King chain disappeared from Australia. They could've taken over the name here but the brand of Hungry Jacks was so well established that they decided to keep it. Of course, the Whopper is the signature burger as it is in the UK and probably the rest of the world too.

[@AshandKels]

Ah so it is Burger King! Thanks for letting us know, it looked so similar and that explains it now! Thanks for watching ☺️

[@tileux]

Im a Sandgroper. We’ve had hungry jacks in my state since jesus was a boy. When i first got posted to Sydney in 1996 i was amazed to find there was only one hungry jacks in eastern sydney. Not sure how many there are now but even back then the eastern states was Maccas territory but macdonalds didnt have a real presence in Perth. Thats why West Coast’s major sponsor has always been Hungry jack. Hungry jacks is way better than Maccas.

[@lyndonmaddison5860]

@@tileux Maccas own NSW. Not sure of the exact numbers but I'd say there is 10 Maccas to every Hungry Jack's. Having said that, there are 100s of better burger joints around compared to these two.

[@Robert-cu9bm]

Not quite right. Right about the burger king already Hungry's isn't owed by burger king. It's another bloke who owns it. So he set up the franchise's, later on burger king was allowed to use their name. And actually set up some burger kings and tried to do him out of business, I think they tried stopping giving him the ingredients or something and limit his supply. Anyway old matey hungry's took them to court over it and the court ruled in hungry's favour. Burger king closed their restaurant.

[@jaredmorse9957]

This is much closer to the real story 👍🏻

[@happytraveller2122]

Less people because it’s a distance from the train station. You’d need a taxi , guide or hoo on hoo off bus/ tram thing

[@arokh72]

Glad you enjoyed the Blue Mountains. I live in a small town about an hour, or so, west of Katoomba. One thing I love about Australia, is that unlike many other parts of the world, you don't need to go far to before you're in a natural wonderland. Next time you visit I highly recommend a trip to the Royal National Park. It's Australia's first national park, and the world's second oldest. I'd also like to add, that near Lithgow is a place called Capertee Canyon. It's wider than the Grand Canyon, but shallower.

[@doubledee9675]

"A massive Grand Canyon but filled with trees" is a good description of the Jamieson Valley. Beyond the range for normal tourism is the Capertee Valley, which is pretty much identical in size to the Grand Canyon but green with lots of bush and also farming properties.

[@franceshurt3517]

I'm glad you're enjoying our beautiful country, Ozzies consider it to be the best country in the world, we have wonderful landscapes and scenery, fresh air, clean waterways and beaches, in NSW we are the most highly taxed state but we have good infrastructure, roads and public transport with the occasional hiccough. This is how I want it to stay, not overpopulated and struggling to feed and house people because of it. We are lucky to have the example of other countries so as to avoid their mistakes. I hope you'll remember your trip with fondness, did you see our amazing wildlife? Thanks for your visit, cheers !!🥰😃👍👣🍔🚂🦘🐄🐑🐏🦜🐊🐦🐳🐬🐟🌻🐝🐜🐛🦋🐌🌴🌲🍀🦗🕷🍤🦐🦞🦀🦪🥩🚅✈🌞🩴📱

[@lrowlands53]

I grew up in southern Sydney and we could see the Blue Mountains on the western horizon on a clear day. They are called the Blue Mountains because the off-gassing of the eucalypts causes them to appear deep blue in that haze from a distance - cool eh? I lived close to the Royal National Park and our local scrub/forest/bush was the same. I endlessly explored that Aussie paradise. I'm so grateful.

[@thegallivanthropologists]

Looks like a really cool National Park. Our latest itinerary for our upcoming World Tour has us wrapping up our around the World trip in Australia and I love to look forward to it. Thank you for sharing and happy travels to you. -Turtle

[@AshandKels]

It was incredible! That sounds amazing, where are you most excited to visit? Happy travels to you too 😀

[@triarb5790]

I did my first RTW trip, solo, in 1987. I was away from the UK for 20 months, which included a year on a working holiday visa in Australia. I met this cute Kiwi bloke. He later followed me over to the UK once my travel onwards was done. A couple of years later we set off on a big backpacking ROWer as our honeymoon We ended up, after 3 circuits of the globe, back in Australia. 35 years on.. we are now into LSL trips spending in-depth time of 4 to 6 weeks traversing one country. We've just got back in fact, from Malaysian Borneo. (Long Service Leave is hands down the BEST Australian invention ever!!!!) Travel is my "Id" and hearing other people's excitement about theirs makes me so happy.

It is Burger King. But you guys should have gone for the Whopper. I don't think much of Hungry Jack's chicken burgers.

[@OurBusyAussieFamilyOBAF2]

You can't leave Sydney before going to The Blue Mountains 🥰 My parents live in Blackheath which is another 10 minutes from Katoomba 💖 Hungry Jacks IS like Burger King. We use to have Burger King around 20 years ago, but the chain didn't last. You've managed to capture the blue haze on the horizon which is the reason why it's called The BLUE Mountains 😍 Walking down to the The Three Sisters, did you see those little animal statues along the path as well? YES, it's a KILLER climbing back up those stairs!! 🤣🤣 Love all the bird sounds as well. So peaceful, hey 😊 Did you end up going to Blackheath as well? Gavette's Leap is popular in Blackheath.

[@TimTam114]

I’ve never been to the Blue Mountains but it looks like it’s worth a visit. Nice to see there’s not too many tourists. Are you guys planning on visiting the Sunshine Coast? If you do Noosa National Park is gorgeous. You might spot a koala too. Looking forward to your next video 😃

To the left of the 3 sisters is their brother. His names cliff.

[@Paldasan]

If it hasn't been mentioned yet, the Blue mountains are so named for the blue haze, believed to be caused by short wavelength scattering due to chemicals given off by the eucalyptus trees. It is possible to go down to nearby Wentworth Falls. I have a couple of photos lying around somewhere that I took from the other side of the falling water, out into the valley.

[@AshandKels]

Thanks for the information! Really interesting :)

[@vinerellos]

Hi from Melbourne. Glad your'e enjoying your trip to Australia so far. Love the Blue Mountains. I have visited quite a few times and there is always something more to explore. Unfortunately they are somewhat over-looked by KZbin travellers.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Australia.

[@cascode1192]

I grew up in the Blue Mountains and my high school was just a block or two away from Echo Point. Much as I love the Aussie bush I agree that Bryce and the Arches should be on anyone’s “to see” lists and are arguably more impressive. Moab and Dead Horse Point too - so many amazing sights in the US west. The arid landscape makes the views more spectacular whereas the Blue Mountains have a soft sort of grandeur.

Hungry Jacks is Burger King. They've just renamed it here in Australia.

[@boppermacca9346]

Grand canyon with trees is a pretty good description. And yes it is vast, that's why they call that valley Megalong valley

[@AshandKels]

That’s the only way we could think to describe it! Such an incredible place 😍 thanks for watching!

[@wendycayless]

No, that's the Jamison valley. The Megalong Valley lies west of Katoomba, the other side of Narrow Neck Plateau. Also "Megalong" has nothing to do with the size of the valley. The name is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning "valley under the rock"

[@kennethbell-hn9zv]

Hungry Jack's is Burger King's Australian because Burger King was already a registered business from Adelaide.

That Hungry Joe's looked so much like a Burger King restaurant. That's what I thought first I saw it. Perhaps Burger King used to be of that quality back in the old days. Thanks for showing the incredible nature around Sydney. I never heard of this place.

[@Bellas1717]

Burger King could not have restaurants with that name because Australia already had a Burger King, so they changed to Hungry Jack's. However, Australia has very strict food standards and great local produce, so the food is very fresh and high quality.

[@AshandKels]

It did, the food was very similar too but a lot better quality compared to the UK! Thank you for watching Jeroen, we had such a good day exploring 😀

[@kivsanchez811]

Hungry Jacks is just Burger King renamed. When they tried to bring Burger King to Australia the name had already been copyrighted here. A real Australian fast food joint would be Oporto's or Red Rooster or Grill'd or Guzman Y Gomez.

[@louisetrott5532]

I have lived and worked in Sydney since 1980, and I'm really enjoying your videos and your reflections. However, there is so much fabulous fresh food available. Your food choices look rather unhealthy. I would encourage you to explore a little beyond fast food!!

Hungry Jacks is the Australian version of Burger King. So yes, you can get Whopper etc.

[@pianopeterr]

You missed the 10-minute walk to the base of the first drop of Katoomba Falls, but at least you got to see them from the lookouts. Then again, you missed so much! Multiply your experience by about 1,000 times and you get an idea of the size of the accessible Blue Mountains.

Actually, Bondi Beach, 'on it's own,' it like every other beach in Sydney, lovely, and scenery stunning. "The esplanade at Bondi," and all kinds of young and old people, backpackers, they leave their garbage and trash everywhere. The cheap food and memorabilia shops, and the over crowded pubs selling alcohol at the most exorbitant prices makes Bondi the worst place to visit. I live in Sydney and wouldn't waste my time or one cent visiting Bondi Beach, and it isn't easy to get to either 🙅‍♀️. Go to Manly by ferry, a beautiful slow trip, taking in the stunning harbour views. Manly council outrightly refuses to do what Bondi have done to their beautiful suburb and beach. They refuse to permit it to be littered and filled with crappy shops and hooligans of the worst kind. It's very pricey, but you will find that everywhere in popular scenic and touristy Australia. Don't forget to go down south of Sydney, better then going up north of Sydney. It's as pretty but they don't allow high rises, or hooligans to mess with their unique well kept coastal towns. Go to Merimbula if you want to taste the best prawns/shrimps EVER! Lovely fun couple. Safe travels everyone.

Australian Sausage Rolls are generally always beef based, not pork like the UK. You can occasionally find a pork one but much harder to come by. The same goes for sausages for the BBQ. Our primary meat is beef and is much cheaper than the UK so you'll find a lot of beef variants of things you know (Pies, pasties, dumplings etc.)

[@AshandKels]

We enjoy beef so are looking forward to trying some more of the tasty food in the bakeries 😍

[@carolcarol3938]

tomato sauce on a sausage roll is really a "must" (in my opinion)

[@Robert-cu9bm]

My gf got a bacon and cheese pie from the bakery (at the time in thought it was weird as she doesn't like beef) And was eating and said to me this tastes weird. I said to her it has beef in it off course you don't like it. She was but it didn't say that on the menu, it just said bacon and cheese. Yeah bacon and cheese beef pie.

[@markwilson3439]

One thing that you missed out on by turning around on the Great Stairway is the scenic railway. At the bottom of the great stairway is a walk, that follows the escarpment, which culminates at the Scenic Railway. Effectively a cable car that is dragged up the side of the escarpment. Your look out of the roof of the car at the scenery. All things considered you made a great travel vlog. 🙂🤙

Rob Reacts channel had a similar reaction to the Blue Mountains in their recent trip to Australia. Now I’m aching to visit Katoomba again.

It’s such an amazing place, we loved it so much! Wish we stayed for longer ☺️

Glad you enjoyed Blue Mountains. Great place to go bushwalking but you have to be prepared. I went with a couple of mates back in the day and got lost and finally got back to our cars around 9pm. It was so cold and we didn’t think we were going to make it out at one stage. 😅

Looks beautiful. Thanks for the drone shots. Odd to see you all in shorts and t-shirts! Merry Christmas!

[@AshandKels]

Thanks for watching, we had such a good day! It’s strange for us being in summer clothes during Christmas time as well haha!

Hungry Jacks is what Burger King is called in Australia.

We thought so, it seemed so similar! Thanks for letting us know!

Lucky to have such a great view. When I was there I was astonished about the birds sitting in the trees like bunch of sparrows but so colourfull. Dont complain about the heat would like to change with you with the sun here as well but still -8, yes minus 8. Oh yes, and I remember the gondola ride down or was it it such kind of a train. Anyway, just spent a day with a friend from Sydney took me there. Enjoy your stay in Oz. For how long time did you planned ?

[@AshandKels]

We were surprised by the different types of birds we saw too! Yeah we're happy about the heat after hearing that! We're currently on Working Holiday Visas so we're able to be here for a year! We plan on working and travelling so we can make videos on our travels but save some money as well!

@@AshandKels Mostly people go for harvesting jobs. Make sure you will find one times ahead of the start of the season. After 2 years of struggeling getting the pacific islanders work force into the country due to covid, I assume you have to be quick to get an comfy job in this industry. I am sure you will make it. I would like to support those digging for gems(opals) or gold. Well you know some areas allow searching without having a claim or a permit so why not try to go for a furtune.

Those birds are called cockatoos, parrots and lorikeets.
