DON'T MISS THESE SYDNEY HIDDEN GEMS! (MUST VISIT TOURIST ATTRACTIONS!) | AUSTRALIA TRAVEL 2020

[@JaniceFung]

Hey guys, I just wanted to check in and see how you guys are all doing? Things have escalated quite a bit in the last weeks and I really hope you’re all staying safe and healthy. I have already filmed a number of Sydney food / travel guide videos all of which will be posted in the next few uploads. I know it seems a bit out of place to be posting these videos when travel for leisure, or going on a holiday is probably the last thing on people’s minds right now… but hopefully it gives you a bit of entertainment and takes your mind off things a little? And who knows, when we get through this, maybe you’ll come visit and check out some of these places in person! 😊 and in the meantime, stay safe, take care and I will catch you guys next week.

[@nuyoo6504]

we need the vlogs Janice. entertainment is high on everyone's list. though stay safe!

[@WiseGuy02]

Keep going Janice. And here's something regarding corona that may help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJfNlHifjJKFsMU

[@kaneshiroorly118]

Its been awful tis past few days. A few countries going into lockdown modes, peeps are panic buying & etc. No matter how dire things are, i hope that we don't abandon our social responsibilty towards each other and be selfish. Stay safe and healthy Janice. Wishing for good health to everyone!

[@mkDCguy]

I think your vlogs are needed at this time of isolation and lock downs, it shows people are in this together, wherever you are located. Support those who are at high-risk and stay healthy too!

[@Darth_Zamiel]

Thanks for continuing to post. Soon this will all be over and travel will resume. Love the idea about Altitude/Blu. As a combo it sounds like a great way to spend the first (jet lag adjust) or last day (to reminisce) of a vaca. I'll vouch for the ferry to/from Manly. definitely a great way to see the harbor as a whole; and you can get a great selfie with the opera house and bridge in the background.

[@MichaelGordonShapiro]

I've been scouring videos in preparation for an upcoming trip to Sydney, and yours was the first to mention any of these ideas. Thanks for a great (and pleasantly enthusiastic) set of tips!

[@carlanderson774]

the old coal loader tunnel area at Waverton is a great alternative to explore , there is a couple of cafes , walk around balls head reserve, great alternative views of the harbour, can also walk back to the harbour bridge with a stop at Wendy's secret garden

[@JaniceFung]

nice! thanks for the suggestion Carl!

[@clementine7582]

Coal Loader is indeed great and you can combine it with several walks and amazing Harbour views too. Smoothey Park, Balls Head, Berry Island, Caradah Park and Sawmiller's Reserve are all close by. All hidden gems most people don't know about.

[@hzhSam]

I see your B-roll game is getting stronger! Great job Janice, keep it up! :) 👍🏻

[@JaniceFung]

Thanks Samuel!

[@nuyoo6504]

This was a great video! Always enjoy your insider tips. Your mum is so cute!

[@JaniceFung]

thank you, im glad you enjoyed it!

[@sujeewatillakaratne5880]

Awesome!! Thanks Janice!!!

[@JaniceFung]

Welcome 😌

[@allem808]

I'm currently on a Janice Fung marathon! Love your work, keep it up!

[@JaniceFung]

aww thanks so much for watching!

[@melmjetset1876]

thanks for sharing. Can't believe I missed these when I was there. great vid

[@julesnguyen7739]

Greetings from Cali. I enjoy watching your videos on Sydney. Can't wait to visit Australia again.

[@mookatgirl7680]

Really enjoyed your vlog, Janice! An alternative tourist attraction that Eddy and I have experienced is the I’m Free Walking Tours - there’s a city tour and another tour at the Rocks. They’re really informative, and a nice way to see the city while getting some exercise! It’s free in that you give a tip of your choice, if you wish.

[@RJS4287]

Great video Janice - you nailed it. Told a number of Flight Attendants on their first Sydney trips that the Manly Ferry is the must do bargain if they only have a short layover. My only suggestion is maybe a picnic in the Botanic Gardens as another lunch option. Enjoyed seeing your new assistant! Think it totally appropriate you are still posting - inspires us for when all the distancing and isolation is over. But you and your family stay safe

[@glennmason9949]

Well done, JF ... suggest the following : North Head (spectacular views), Palm Beach + Barrenjoey Lighthouse, Cremorne Point and the short walk to Mosman Bay, Balmoral Beach on an uncrowded sunny day (maybe in Winter, or a working weekday), the parks above Mona Vale Beach (near the hospital), the bottom of Blues Point Road, McMahon's Point (facing the Bridge, the Opera House, CBD and Darling Harbour), and Wendy's Secret Garden at Lavender Bay/North Sydney.

[@doubledee9675]

Good suggestions. I'd add the bus to Palm Beach, which will give great views on the way there. When you arrive, take the climb to Barrenjoey Lighthouse from where you can see around Broken Bay, into the mouth of the Hawkesbury River, and into Pittwater

[@shadowone247]

Wow, as a local these tips are amazing where only locals would know. You are definitely showing hidden affordable gems of Sydney that would not be in tour brochures. Janice... you should branch out more and do other topics such as working life in Sydney, interview locals from the south-western parts of Sydney (if you dare to go there), outer boundaries of Sydney and local animals and insects.

[@JaniceFung]

Once everything is over I’ll definitely take up that suggestion!

[@lynncaldwell8345]

Skip western Sydney.Too boring.I lived there for years.

[@ericzy3048]

Thanks for sharing these amazing spots! Never thought Pylon Lookout would be open to the public. Fantastic video!

[@JaniceFung]

Yeah it is ! :)

[@jennymark7403]

Well done great content,attractions, food , views, all round great job well done. Glad your back to your best, your really going places ur talent is really showing keep it up janice

[@JaniceFung]

thank you Jenny, i really appreciate it!

[@angelat1467]

I'm traveling to Sydney in two weeks with my mom and absolutely binge-ing all of your Australia travel videos, even though I lived for half a year in Sydney in 2020 LOL. These alternatives to tourist attractions are SO CLEVER. thank you so much for putting together such a comprehensive list! that bit at the end with your mom is so cute haha i've done the exact same with my mom and the chinglish. LOVE FROM CANADA!

[@NowGetThereFood]

I look forward to your video about what to do in Manly! Best beach in Sydney

[@JaniceFung]

Once everything is over I’ll definitely make it!

[@oopsyfloss2]

Currently binge watching a lot of your videos! I'm from Sydney too and recognise a lot of the places that you visit. Great to see content from a Sydney based KZbinr :)

[@graemespeed4285]

Other places of interest Janice? Grand Pacific Drive starting from the views at Stanwell Tops is a good one. Only an hour from Sydney.

[@marinelalarsen3736]

Hi Janice, thank you for another nice video. It was so nice to see Sydney and beautiful views , good to know about alternative tourist attractions :) It`s also nice to see that people are walking free around the city, we are in Norway and nobody is out because of the lockdown.

[@JaniceFung]

hey marinela, thank you so much for tuning in! i filmed this video a couple weeks ago so there's actually less people on the streets now..

[@Ghoatt]

I really miss your second weekly videos. Everything here is closing down because they don't want to be put in a situation where choices have to be made on who lives and who dies, and I think it's the right thing to do. That being said, take care of yourself and stay safe.

[@JaniceFung]

i will do, stay safe and healthy too

[@Thepatyeo]

Thank you very much Janice. Love your videos 😊

[@JaniceFung]

thanks Patrick!

[@christopheryoung3850]

Janice, another really good and informative vlog today. Whilst it is true doing a travel related vlog at this time may seem a bit out of place due to all the increasing Covid19 related restrictions on travel at this time. I think it is actually very important and helpful as it gives those who watch your vlogs (like me...😁) a chance relax and have a break from all the negative news related to the Covid19 pandemic. Please keep up the good work & most importantly stay safe...😁👍

[@JaniceFung]

thanks so much Christopher, i really appreciate it!

[@MichaelHWToh]

what an excellent list of suggestions!

[@sevenpointfive5450]

Another great video and good suggestions

[@JaniceFung]

Thanks for watching !

[@NihazVIDZ]

Hey Janice, I missed some videos lately from you. But i was always on the lookout for Sydney Harbour views. I hav'nt been there but this came up on my list. KZbin is really connecting me , and thanks again for another superb video.

[@marieaxen645]

Thanks for a great topic and your fenomenal tips! We´ll go to Sydney next week so thanks for doing this video! /Marie from Sweden

[@boonteck8406]

Good views yummy food Well done

[@BrianSmith-hk3vt]

Check out observatory Hill next to the bridge

[@DangoMango15]

This is awesome - I've been to Sydney countless times, but have never heard of William Blue before, will definitely check it out!

[@michaelj2528]

The main attractions as in most cities are expensive , these are great ideas of places to visit I've done the Manly Ferry on the yes yes it's a great experience but missed the South Tower on the bridge walk across it but missed it ( How did I Miss it lol ) a really great video . I am just back from Perth Australia visiting friends ( not my first time ) it's was hot and humid had a great time love Perth also when I visited Sydney a few years ago it was fantastic. Nice vlog as always

[@JaniceFung]

Thanks so much michael! Did you go to Rottnest island and see the quokkas??

[@Chris-oe4bv]

Your mom at the end of the video is so cute 😆. And you guys speak Cantonese! 👍

[@JohnJames-pl1lz]

I miss your vlog @janice fung i hope you vlog every tuesday and friday😩😩

[@JaniceFung]

I’ll start posting twice a week again soon!

[@mookatgirl7680]

Thanks Janice! Hope you’re doing ok! If Sydney needs to go into lockdown, perhaps you could make a vlog about how to keep ourselves sane? 😉

[@JaniceFung]

I’m doing alright thanks for asking! I actually had that idea too !

[@missv8109]

Great video as always

[@MelbourneShorts11]

Awesome tip on the bluebar. sold.

[@nieunsan2719]

I'm a William blue student graduate so when you said William blue fine dining I was so shocked 😂 our fine dining menu is also the cheapest compared to standard price because we are all students. But our food quality is good. So if you want to make a booking to reserve you need to wait 2 weeks

[@pzboyz72]

Google Maps shows William Blue is closed for good. Is that true?

[@kaneshiroorly118]

Good effort on the camera auntie!!🤭🤭🤭 take care ladies!!! Baiiiiiyyyyyeeeeee

[@JaniceFung]

hahaha A for effort lol

[@kaneshiroorly118]

Hahaha

[@CoolGrandpa]

We’re heading your way in late September (just two years after we planned !). Great to get the ‘insider’ view on alternative places of interest for the traveller.

[@louiserichardson5212]

Getting lots of inspo for my next trip to Sydney. Thanks 😊

[@engrahmed7122]

Excellent way of presenting. Convincing me to migrate to the beautiful city.

[@maccomplex]

Pylon look out looks awesome. Must check it out! Or have a private bridge climb because of COVID-19.

[@JaniceFung]

Yeah the pylon look out is amazing!

[@ajulianto2215]

stay safe Janice and everybody

[@JaniceFung]

You too 🙏🙏

[@quakerz1228]

I had no idea William Blue was a place, that sounds great. i'll have to book a seat once it re-opens (coronaclosed) thanks for the tip, Janice :)

[@socielledstance]

Lol that blooper is exactly how i told my mum to take a pic of me when travelling

[@JaniceFung]

Glad I’m not alone

[@abpob6052]

My wife and I have plans to be in Sydney for 2 months Oct15-Nov15. Hopefully the world will be back to normal by then. Love your videos. They are super helpful and we will be using many of your suggestions. Maybe we will even run into you one day. How many people with cameras and selfie sticks can there be? LOL

[@robinpitblado]

Great suggestions for touring on a budget. The student restaurant was a very good one, I wish I had known when I was in Sydney a week ago. Alas I am back in Houston - I was worried about a lockdown (-;

[@JaniceFung]

Will have to come back again when everything is over :)

[@navinkaus]

I must say, amazing video!

[@TravelingisFREEDOM]

This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!

[@rf_himsmalhotra]

Thanks for the wonderful information 🙂 Hope to get more such information about budget shopping 🛒

[@JaniceFung]

glad it helped!

[@shirolee]

Great video! Thanks for making it!

[@pmkrock]

Visited the city way back in New Years 2008when I was still a 15yr old kid. Now really want to stay there someday! This video is great! I don’t know why I’m watching this being so far away. Still motivating!

[@tanyacaruana7917]

I love your videos. So helpful!

[@nerotrinidad2608]

Wow.... it's Nice watching you in Philippines. Hope to be there in Sydney nx year...

[@KG-mx5su]

My son and I were planning to visit family in Perth this summer and of course visit Sydney, but it looks like that won't be happening this year. We are currently on a shelter-in-place, schools are closed for the next 3 weeks, and no non-essential travel. And yes, it looks like I won't be seeing toilet paper, hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, alcohol, and paper towels until everyone has stopped hoarding them. And even rice at the Asian store!

[@JaniceFung]

Yeah it’s pretty crazy..I hope you and your family are keeping safe and healthy!

[@mkDCguy]

I'm totally hooked on Sydney... such a cool city and your views from the Shangri-La, I’d be hanging out there every night 😉 Unfortunately can’t do that now, all bars, restaurants, and theaters closed except for food delivery or to go. Not sure what the deal is with people and TP, the only thing I’m stocking up on is beer, wine & tequila😎 Look after each other and you stay Safe!

[@JaniceFung]

yeah the views Shangrila is pretty hard to beat! haha great minds, i just got myself some limes and tonic for my gin.

[@noroithecurse]

Amazing tips!

[@hopegoround]

This is great, thank you!

Goodonya a great vid who doesn't love free stuff 👍😉

[@wawawho18_adventures]

lol cute ending

[@brontewcat]

What a brilliant video. Well done on giving the alternatives to the tourist traps. I have always thought the ferries are the best and cheapest way to see Sydney Harbour. Even better if you can befriend an old Sydneysider who can tell what you are looking at. But you can also google a lot of information.

[@fxght]

janice, havent commented in a while, hope your family is staying safe during this horrible event. i know it may unfortunately be hard to make videos in this time, as more place (may) shut down. so unfortunate but great video (as usual)

[@Cobalt5498Emerald]

Such a crazy expensive city

[@craigwillis3372]

Hey JF...another great travel video !! The pylons on the bridge don't actually do anything to hold the Sydney Harbour Bridge in place other than look good. !!! The views are sensational though !! Sad to admit I am a Seniors Card holder and it makes the CQ to Manly trip attractive on any day !!! Well done on the Shangri- La Hotel bar...one of the best in Sydney. BTW where you had lunch with your Mum I have a feeling used to be a "wine bar" in the Rocks which was very popular in the old days !! The facade looked familiar !! Love your work young lady !!!

[@MitchellBPYao]

In my youth I wethere

[@angelachan6946]

Hi Janice, love to watch your videos. Well done. Unfortunately, I think William Blue has closed down. Do you have any alternative? Thanks.

[@JaniceFung]

Thanks Angela! I think there is a similar one called The Ambassador , but it is a bit difficult to get a booking - good luck!

[@raymondleongdiva]

Thanks so much. I been to Sydney a couple of times but it's been a while. Now that borders are opened I will be there come late July...

[@JaniceFung]

Nice! Have a great trip!

[@larissamuscat8177]

Great video. Thank you

[@Fishnut4eva]

Well done Janice on sharing a few of the hidden gems in our city. That’s exactly what a local in the know would do. I’m glad you didn’t promote the Sydney tower eye as it’s overpriced and lack’s quality. Being a courier I know a secret place in nearly every street but I don’t like to share but I suggest you walk around and speak to some hotel concierge to see if they have a rooftop bar or restaurant. 😉

[@MitchellBPYao]

I've been here for do long and I don't even about it yet walk everywhere she went

[@dt6174]

Thanks for all the informations ! I plan to come to Sidney in August, please tell me how is the weather temperature ? Do I need to bring the heavy jacket? Thanks

[@lapearlaa2707]

Hi DT,example if u have a jacket like the Uniqlo shop sells..yes bring one of those and a jumper just in case..at the moment it’s starting to get cold but for me I’m still wearing T shirts around..hope this helps

Aloha Janice, thank you for the great tips! Is the $2.80 you mentioned regarding the ferries the total price for the whole day, or the cap per each return trip?

[@JaniceFung]

For Sunday it’s for the whole day!

[@julianlee4803]

I hope the Shangri-La is giving you something in return for the free plug haha

[@JaniceFung]

Haha they don’t need the plug those views plug themselves 🤣

Is there any one day pass AUD 2.8 for the ferry from circular quey nowaday?

Love this vlog! I didn’t know Williams blue have own restaurant so its very good information, thanks😄 I’m planning to go to sydney end of next month but 14 days self isolate rules killing me😭 I really hope we can get back normal life asap for all world🙏💦btw people still crazy about toilet paper even we are said we have enough stocks... but where us the stocks🤔

[@JaniceFung]

yeah.. hopefully this passes soon also, not sure if you saw, but the Aus Gov just annoucned today that there will be a travel ban on all non-residents & non-citizens coming to australia, starting from 9PM friday...

[@kaoz2711]

Janice Fung thanks.. yeh i saw it...😞 i’ve planed this trip looong time ago but it gonna be ruined in a sec... hopefully this chaos situation get better and make it for my trip😭 but most important thing is all people’s health so if i can’t make it this time, ill wait for next chance watching ur vlog!

Watching this in May 2022. This was a fun vlog to watch. Could you possibly add timestamps, chapters and human-generated subtitles? Although "You want to get sweeping views of the Hobbit. You get to see the Fairies come in and go out." would be an interesting sight, too. I hope you're doing well.

[@JaniceFung]

hahaha! I had no idea these were the auto generated subtitles xD im working on adding timestamps and chapters to all my videos :) thank you for watching!

Hi Janice, Could you give me a recommendation of best taxi services and best cost price? We have 6 to 8 adults passengers need a private taxi for transport us from SYD airport to White Bay Port, and from White Bay Port to SYD airport. Also from SyD airport to Holiday Inn hotel and hotel to airport.. Base on you live in Sydney for a long time, Il hope you can advise and help us on this. Thank you in advance and I am waiting to hear from you soon.

[@fashionandtravelbydonika]

Hi there, Great content and nice videos :) I was wondering, could you please get back to me and let me know about the bugs and spiders in Australia and most specifically in Sidney? Thanks ;)

[@JaniceFung]

Haha what specifically do you want to know about bugs and spiders here?

[@fashionandtravelbydonika]

@@JaniceFung Thanks for your reply :) Basically, I've read a lot about Australia and my main concern is the spiders and other stuff in the house basically, do you see spiders for example often, in and out? I am asking because I am having problems when I see such creatures :D Also is it dangerous to swim in the sea? Thanks in advance
