Sydney Tour 2024. We climb the Sydney Harbor Bridge!

[@QueenFan-cj4jh]

Hope you show us your Christmas tree this year with all the ornaments you are aquiring! 😊

[@livingphase2]

Great idea!

[@desertsunset8025]

That would be amazing 🎄 !

[@mizsuzee]

Watching your videos reminds me of our wonderful trip to Australia (and New Zealand) many years ago. We normally don't "Love" cities, but we LOVED Sydney so much!!! We were so blessed to be able to spend two weeks in NZ and two weeks in Australia.

[@livingphase2]

Oh, you were so fortunate. We look forward to returning and spending more time there as well. It was such a wonderful place.😀

[@hevvab8151]

Fun fact: us Aussies have nicknamed the Ibis the BIN CHICKEN; they're normally raiding the bins around parks and suburban areas, so were thus named 😂

[@livingphase2]

Love the main bin chicken! We saw lots of bin chickens!

[@suave-rider]

I don't care what they've bin, what are they now? 🤣🤣🤣

[@jojet1980]

All hail the BIN CHICKEN lol

[@a.o9656]

I came to look for someone to say bin chicken!! hahaha. Can't believe the tour guide didn't inform them of that.

[@SusanBucknor]

I’m following quite a few vloggers on the world cruise and have to say I enjoy yours the most. The detail you go into is second to none. We love cruising and whilst we are sad when our cruise is just about over, you can’t beat coming into Sydney Harbour. I’m a Sydney sider and it never gets old. ❤

[@livingphase2]

Sailing into Sydney Harbour was incredible! Thank you for your kind words and thanks for following along on our journey.

[@SusanButler365]

Thank goodness for Jack Mundey and the Green Bans that saved The Rocks! I vaguely remember the protests back in 1973 when the NSW BLF (A workers Union) stepped up to the plate and stopped the redevelopment.

[@livingphase2]

It's a great area.

[@hw5551]

Summer is over for me here. I'm starting back up on your videos. I just love them! Such a nice way to start my day by watching your travels. Thanks again. I see you may be off the ship by now. I hope your transition to land and home goes smoothly.

[@afinnerty01]

I went to Sydney Australia in the summer of 1995 and they were already preparing for the 2000 Olympics. I remember there was signs everywhere and they were working on some of the locations events would take place. One of my souvenir shirts was the logo for it saying 2000 Olympics Sydney. It felt like it was so far off in the future! Loved every bit of my trip to Australia and New Zealand. Your video brought back some memories and I’d love to go back!

[@livingphase2]

Glad you enjoyed it. Hope it has inspired you to come back.

[@FunandBudget]

Its funny...for a little while I "collected" seeing that spider sculpture around the world...I seen the ones in Canada, Spain and Tokyo.

[@livingphase2]

It was quite amazing

[@donamiceli8470]

The magic of going somewhere you have always dreamed about. We all have those places in our hearts forever. Love your excitement and enthusiasm.

[@livingphase2]

Thanks. 🥰

[@sharonbutz4466]

I do not like heights but did climb this bridge in 2016. The guide let me climb right behind her and was very helpful. By the time we climbed all those straight up walls I was actually more relaxed. It was awesome. Great bonding with my sister and brother.

[@livingphase2]

It's an amazing experience, and the guides are great!

[@dianacarragher5845]

Hello Mike & Nancy great video of my home city I live just over the Harbour Bridge 20 Min from the OPT my husband was part of the Opera House team for over 40 yrs.So glad you enjoyed your time here you will have to come back for a longer stay lots of colonial history as you discovered in the Rocks.

[@livingphase2]

We absolutely hope to come back.

[@julieparham6674]

My husband and I walked across the bridge and loved it! Sydney is a place where you just can’t get enough of it. Loved our Australia and New Zealand trip.

[@livingphase2]

That is exactly how we felt. We look forward to coming back and spending more time there.

[@pamelacooper6916]

Sydney does have a beautiful Harbour. As an Australian I have never heard anyone call it the Sydney bridge. It is the Sydney Harbour bridge. Also Bondi is pronounced Bond-eye. Enjoy your Australian ports. It is a wonderful country.

[@livingphase2]

We enjoyed it so much, we Americans have a tendency to shorten the names of things but you are correct it's the Sydney Harbor bridge. And we'll work on our beach pronunciations as well 🤣🤣🥰

[@GinetteSt-Onge-d2w]

Wow! Amazing video once again! Your information, descriptions and your positivity makes me feel like you’re both our own tour guides. Big thank you for taking the time in your wonderful travels to show us all your adventures ❤️

[@livingphase2]

Wow, thank you!

[@greenbutterfly-8]

Lots of Fun

[@jlatime2]

This is my favorite video of your cruise so far, I’ve wanted to go to Australia for a long time and would love to move there to become a carer for injured and sick flying foxes, my favorite animal of all so THANK YOU for showing these beautiful creatures 🦇

[@jlatime2]

You both looked like you were having the best time!!!

[@livingphase2]

Thanks so much for sharing a bit about yourself. I hope you can move to Australia and do this. It sounds absolutely wonderful.

[@BeefromSC]

[@janebarrett4601]

Glad you liked our country When you return you must come to my state Victoria ,Melb to is a great city You'd need at least a month to see our country.

[@livingphase2]

We agree, at least a month! 😀

[@soniasurija8880]

Lovely video & it’s always nice when visitors love our city Sydney. If you ever come back next time you’re at the Sydney Opera House, walk at the back & you will see the resident seal sleeping at bottom of the steps, enjoy the rest of your journey

[@livingphase2]

Thank you! Will do!

[@WalkingandTalkingAussieGirl]

I can see you loved Australia :) yes there is so much history there in Sydney I walked down that Suez St.

[@livingphase2]

Thanks 👍

[@leonafarrow]

As an Australian I have cruised out of Sydney Harbour a few times, I think I must of taken the sights for granted, next time I cruise (which is soon) I will see it thorough your eyes and enjoy it more! Thanks for sharing your travels, in a world full of difficult news atm it’s a joy to watch your positive attitude towards all your experiences. Happy travels!

[@livingphase2]

Thank you so much. We've loved Australia and our Australian friends! 🥰

[@margi9103]

I’m glad you enjoyed the Rocks area. My family had a connection there at 85 George St Nth from 1911. My great grandfather started a business there and the family and extended family lived upstairs. My dad was born there in 1918. Four of his siblings were also born there.

[@livingphase2]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing that.

[@kerrynfrancis2264]

Aussie here, glad you had a great time 🇦🇺

Thanks so much! 😊

[@katewright5691]

I have been waiting for this video! Thanks so much for visiting my home city and being so enthusiastic and so kind. It was wonderful viewing Sydney through your eyes. I hope you visit again soon. All the best for the rest of the trip 😊

[@livingphase2]

Thanks so much for following along. We absolutely loved Sydney and plan to return where we can spend more time. It was fabulous!

[@toniasfreshflowers2345]

Love the koala in the background of your video!

[@livingphase2]

Thanks so much!

[@noelpaintonsmith8091]

Thanks for your wonderful video! I am an American living in Sydney with my Aussie husband. We are considering doing what you are doing when he retires in about a year, so I stumbled across your videos. I'm glad you are planning to return to Sydney because it is AMAZING. There are so many things to do and see. I would definitely recommend that you take a train up to the Blue Mountains as well-a couple of hours from Sydney in NSW. My husband and I took a trip recently down to Victoria to the Great Ocean Road. It was incredible! Thanks again for all your excellent tips in your other videos.

[@livingphase2]

Thanks for the great suggestions. We can't wait to come back to Australia

[@brendas9803]

What a fun day! My favorite thing about sailing into Sydney other than seeing the Opera House and Harbor Bridge was the scent of eucalyptus in the air. It was a surprise! Thanks for doing these wonderful videos, I know it is a lot of hard work!

[@livingphase2]

Thanks so much for your kind words, and I completely forgot about that. Wonderful smell until you brought it up. That was a nice treat.

[@angelasofia7726]

Yeahhh! You made it to Sidney!!!! Awesome!!!

[@livingphase2]

Yeah!! It was a great City😃

[@chrissy1510]

Hi Mike and Nancy! I’m thrilled that you had such a good time in my home town! It’s a beautiful place, and I love living here (although I am yet to climb the harbour bridge). I really hope you do come back!

[@livingphase2]

We know we will, Sydney was an amazing city and Australia overall has so much for us to explore

[@GraceWicks-mm5fs]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful video! Glad to know you enjoyed our beautiful city of Sydney! Yes, do come back!

[@livingphase2]

Absolutely! Returning back to Sydney is at one of our top places to go to.

[@jannetterodriguez1205]

What a wonderful video, and such an amazing experience. Sydney is in our bucket list, especially climbing the bridge.

[@livingphase2]

It is a wonderful bucket list item!

[@ianmaher4348]

You two are wonderful positive presenters!

[@livingphase2]

Thank you so much!

[@susan4916]

Still enjoying your videos! Thank you for sharing. We do have Ibis in the USA where I live in FL. Both white and glossy and they do congregate in large roaming flocks. They roam through our neighborhood but can also be commonly seen in 7-11 parking lots, a bit like starlings up north.

[@livingphase2]

Like they say in Australia bin chickens

[@patchayko721]

Sydney is my favorite city to visit. We spent a total of 4 days there at the beginning of our New Zealand cruise. Love the hop-on hop-off bus

[@livingphase2]

Doing a hop on hop off bus would be so much fun. We look forward to returning and spending more time in Sydney.

[@cyndihanson157]

Your pictures turned out fabulous !! You should use them as your Christmas cards this year❣️

[@livingphase2]

Nancy here, and I absolutely agree! Christmas cards it is.😀

[@Hfriend021]

I am a young adult in my 20s not far from where are from. I just wanted to say this is one of my favorite channels, and thank you for bringing us along on this amazing journey.

[@livingphase2]

Thanks so much for your kind words. We appreciate you following along with us on our journey.

[@CCB249]

Fabulous video! We did a cruise from Sydney to Auckland for 14 days last year. We are planning to go back to Australia and New Zealand also. We want to spend 3 months in each country. Loved Sydney-I could live there. Yes Australia is trying to kill while New Zealand is trying to heal you-sailors tale.

[@livingphase2]

We can't wait till we can get back to each country

[@sherryhicks4156]

This is my dream destination!

[@livingphase2]

It's a wonderful City

[@lauralee9041]

My sister and I did the climb last year. We saw a sunset a rainbow and fireworks. Magical!

[@livingphase2]

We saw the sunset and thought it was beautiful, but did not see fireworks. It was a perfect ending to a perfect day.

[@dj110279]

Bondi is said as Bond eye 🙂

[@livingphase2]

Yep, we've heard, 😪 Sorry about that

[@BeCreativewithTerryJeanette]

What an amazing time in Sydney! Going to Australia is on my bucket list. I've always wanted to go. Thanks for sharing.

[@livingphase2]

You should! It is amazing!

[@Bellas1717]

Lovely to see your video. Just a small note, adding to what others have mentioned: Sydney has many bridges, so no one calls it the Sydney Bridge, it's the Harbour Bridge for short, or Sydney Harbour Bridge - one of the few things we don't usually shorten, but if Sydneysiders do, it's just The Bridge. In older times, some people affectionately called it The Coathanger. I don't know who told you that story about embarrassment over convict history, it's hard to believe. Anyone I know is very proud, and some boastful, of any convict heritage. It's part of the rebellious heritage/psyche of the country - many of the convicts were actually political dissidents and religious prisoners. Some Australian (Aussie=Ozzie) pronunciation: Macquarie=Mack-wuhh-ree. Bondi=Bond-eye / Bon-die Beach. Centennial=Cen-ten-ee-al Park.

[@livingphase2]

Thank you so much for all your clarifications. We truly appreciate it.

[@coraliemoller3896]

@@livingphase2 The convict cringe is very true. It may be unknown for young Australians but I am almost 69 and it was known as the cultural cringe. A lot of British people would throw our convict heritage in our faces. Botany Bay was synonymous with convicts, penal settlements, even in American shows of the 1950s and 1960s. I remember wishing they would focus on the good things about my hometown. Then as Australia progressed as a decent society and gained a positive reputation, more people became interested in their family history. With the discovery of lost convict ancestors, whose genes had been resilient enough to endure the privations of this open land and to last to the current generation, it became a matter of pride amongst those who could claim First or Second Fleet whether as a convict or as a free settler.

[@ShellyMacdownunder]

I live in Sydney and I love how much you loved our city. My husband has to go to Bondi beach (pronounced Bond eye 🙂) a couple of times a week as part of his job, lucky him, it’s certainly an iconic beach but when you come back again hop on a ferry and head to Manly, it’s a beautiful beach fringed with gorgeous Norfolk Island pine trees, there’s lots of great restaurants over there too. We have dozens of beautiful beaches in Sydney. Try and get up to the Blue Mountains too, spectacular views and plenty of walking tracks. You’re right about the convict heritage, it’s pretty much a badge of honour in Australia to be a convict descendent nowadays. Well done climbing the bridge, it’s a goal of ours. Really enjoy your videos and the enthusiasm and joy you have for all of your adventures. Oh and bin chickens (ibis), yuck, they’re everywhere 😏 but I understand the novelty of seeing different animals, we were mesmerised the first time we saw squirrels in Central Park, pretty sure the New Yorkers thought we were crazy 😁

[@livingphase2]

Thank you so much for sharing these great places to visit. We certainly plan to return to Sydney for a longer period of time so your tips are very helpful. Sydney has been one of our favorite places on this trip.😀

[@anne-marievr5710]

We ended a transpacific cruise in Sydney. We were fortunate to have fiends there whom we met on a cruise and they put us up or 2 nights. Showed us all the areas you visited plus some, had those fish and chips. The next day took us to the Blue Mountains. A magical place Sydney and such friendly people.

[@livingphase2]

It really is a magical place. We can't wait till we come back

[@LeoandRosieRoth]

Hi, I live in Sydney and grew up in Bondi. You had a perfect day, and it was exactly what I would have shown a visitor.

[@livingphase2]

That’s nice to hear that we had a good tour. We truthfully were very pleased and had a great time.

[@maurice491]

Thank you for all your videos. I hope you get to Hobart Tasmania and do not miss the MONA Museum of new and old art. You will never forget it

[@livingphase2]

Thanks for the suggestion! So much to see in the area.

[@desertsunset8025]

Those bats were terrifying ! Your braver than me 😮.

[@aussiefarmer6012]

They carry the deady hendra virus, they are scary because of that. Look it up.

[@livingphase2]

They were quite amazing.

[@elizabethflanagan9754]

Amazing. Loved the timeline. My parents loved their visits to Sydney. The visited three times and always says it was one of their favourite places. X

It did not! 😄

It’s lovely to see how much you enjoyed my city. I’ve never sailed in or out of the Harbour on a big ship with views like that. I really enjoyed your sail-in footage.

Being from Sydney it made so happy and proud that you loved it

I love that you too love my city .. you two are delightful .. all the best for your future travels 😊😜❤️🙋🏻‍♀️

[@livingphase2]

Thank you! 😃

[@9OClockRant]

I salute you two for climbing that. I’m afraid of height, so…..no thank you! I think that’s the best tender landing of all ports.

[@livingphase2]

We agree!

[@lesleyjohnston199]

Loved the sail in. On oxygen now so cruising a fond memory. I so enjoy seeing your travels.

Thanks for following along with us. Sorry you're cruising days may be over but glad you can live the cruising Life by watching us. We wish you all the best. 🙏🙏

What a fabulous video…. The photos of you on the bridge were gorgeous, hope you are really proud of yourselves for doing the climb

[@livingphase2]

Thank you so much!

[@lyndabrown1707]

The bridge looks fabulous and has been a bucket list item for me. Unfortunately I have never been good with ladders and I didn’t know that was a part of it. So I’m glad I got to experience through you! Loving the videos. Thanks!

[@livingphase2]

They are very patient and help you along the way. You can do it! 😃

[@AllieBlackett]

Ah loving your adventure. There is another Mamman spider in Bilbao Northern Spain behind the Guggenheim museum. 🕷️🫶🏽

[@deniselanglois6193]

What a walk wow good for you - I walked up the WASHINGTON MONUMENT 987 STEPS in heels and a suit “back in the day” in 1967 - took the elevator down

[@livingphase2]

Good for you, we all travel is really about all new experiences no matter how far we may have to walk or how we travel. 😀

[@SusanButler365]

Glad you had a great time. I worked in Sydney in the 80s then moved to Newcastle - so I hope you enjoyed the Hunter too.

[@livingphase2]

[@stevefazzio]

Enjoying your videos very much! Thank you. We just moved to Palm Beach Gardens, Florida and there are small flocks of American Ibis. Ours are white with orange beaks. Thanks again!

[@livingphase2]

Oh wow! Thanks for tuning in

[@dboutier5636]

Congratulations on your climb. I know that Australia has lots lots of large bugs and also has snakes and other interesting things. But I didn’t know about the bats. OMG I thought everything was bigger in Texas. We just have a little bats. Imagine one of those things getting loose in your house. However The paper trees were really interesting. Stay safe

[@livingphase2]

Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching.

[@alicruiserandtraveller]

I would love to go to Australia! Thanks for the report!

[@livingphase2]

Thanks for watching!

[@Travelling.Over.60]

I’m so glad you loved my home town of Sydney Australia. It made me feel proud. No criticism here but some Ozzie language for you … our bridge is called “Sydney Harbour Bridge” and we say “Mrs MacQuarie said McQw o re” the ‘o’ is said like it’s sound. Hope that makes sense. Our beach is Bondi said Bond and the “I” is said as an 👁️. I love you guys and your accent is great. What you said about Bondi is exactly right. I’m in Canada at the moment and I keep getting there words mixed up 🤦🏼‍♀️😂. The bats are like pests in some places. Yes we have so many things that can kill you 😂 you both look so happy on the bridge. I can’t wait for your next video.

[@livingphase2]

Thanks, yes the beach name was one we really messed up. Appreciate you watching and enjoy the great white North in Canada. You have a beautiful hometown

[@Travelling.Over.60]

Oh please don’t see it as messing up. You don’t live here you’re not meant to know. I love it when people try to say our words and it’s not quite right. You are doing an amazing job with your videos.

[@noelpaintonsmith8091]

Good points. It's like Ma-Quarry and Bond-Eye.

[@afinchy1972]

Welcome to our awesome city, I'm glad you enjoyed your visit. That was a great tour and you got an excellent taste of Sydney. If you visit again, I can recomend coming out to western Sydney and see the amazing Blue Mountains where I live. Love your videos guys ❤

[@livingphase2]

Thanks for the tips! We can't wait to come back!

[@SmileyOscarDoscar]

We saw a similar sculpture of a huge black spider in the Walton museum in Arkansas

[@livingphase2]

We never do that, it was quite an amazing thing to see

[@coastie1119]

Proud Aussie here! When you next come to Sydney, plan to head to a few places outside the central CBD. You’ll not regret the beauty in so many other parts of Sydney and surrounds. Glad to see how much you loved home 👏👏👏

[@livingphase2]

We absolutely love Sydney and definitely plan to return for a longer stay.

[@jillfallon8497]

Loved this Vlog of your visit to Sydney. You covered a lot on your visit and agree with you it is the most stunning city to arrive by ship. Living in Australia we cruise in and out of Sydney Harbour a lot, and I must say it is an experience we never tire of. Really hope you do get to return one day. ❤

[@livingphase2]

Absolutely, Sydney is on our list of places we must return to. The small taste we got was not enough.

[@kathleenwhelan6500]

Glad you enjoyed the bin chickens, they are scavengers. I am from Sydney and haven't done the bridge walk and I'm afraid I'm passed it now with rheumatoid arthritis which I had done it earlier in my life. Our beaches are all beautiful. Hope you do get to come back and experience more of Sydney maybe take the ferry to Manly.

[@livingphase2]

We can't wait to come back

[@karenvestergaard1571]

If you go back to Sydney you must do the Bondi to Coogie coastal walk. It is just incredible! My sister and I were just in Australia in March (from Canada) and we wished we had more time in Sydney too.

[@livingphase2]

Thanks so much for the suggestion. That sounds great

[@deniselanglois6193]

We have Ibis birds in Florida they are white with pink legs and pink beaks - great video

[@davidpaul4974]

Wow can't believe how much of Sydney you covered. Your guide knew his stuff. I love how Americans say Bondi, it makes me laugh. It's pronounced Bon Die. Love Doyles, fun fact Mike the next bay around called Camp Cove is a nice easy night dive location. Have had a few Doyles fish and chips before a dive. To top it off with the bridge, no wonder you were both smiling so much. Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@gabrielleedwards6690]

My husband used to work at Doyle’s in the 80s.

One of my favourite books, which was subsequently made into a film in the ‘80s is Ruth Park’s ‘Playing Beatie Bow’. It’s a fantasy story about a girl who time-travels back to the Rocks in the 1800s. It gives you a glimpse of what life may have been like there back then. I named my daughter after the actress who played ‘Abigail’ - Imogen Annesley.
