First Time in SYDNEY, Australia

[@brirose230]

I was born in Sydney and have lived here my whole life. I love watching travel vlogs of people visiting Sydney for the first time and seeing their excitement and appreciation for all the things that make our city great. It helps me not to take it for granted and reminds me how blessed I am to live here!

hey! im visiting sydney soon, and im wondering for transport is it okay for me to use a debit card to get on buses/trains? thanks x

Welcome to our wonderful city. My great, etc grandfather landed just where you were standing, from a ship called the Coromandel, in the year 1802. He brought his family with him, and with twelve other families, settled in the Hawkesbury River valley and started farming there. The efforts of these farmers literally saved the colony, as the convicts, soldiers and sailors who had come out earlier had no idea of how to farm, especially to farm land so different to England...

[@ItsAlwaysHappyHour]

Welcome to Sydney! I'm really loving your videos. You're both very likeable, the content is seriously authentic and the extra effort to research the correct pronnounciation of place names is seriously appreciated. Saying Bond-eye, not Bond-ee, earns you brownie points 🙂. 9:40: @Tia Ocean facing houses in Bronte and Tamarama will range from between $10M for an older, relatively undestated 3 bedroom house to upwards of $30M for some of the more palatial modern abodes. 14:31 @Cheveyo while the Vivid tourist cruises are expensive, for a real taste of Sydney you should use the reasonably priced public transport ferries. I can tell you from personal experience that catching a ferry to work in the city during summer is without a doubt the best way to commute. Take the ferry from Circular Quay to Manly during the day (as it's a muuuch better beach than Bondi) and then time your journey back to the city (or even better Barangaroo) so you catch the sunset over the harbour and city skyline. You'll even arrive back in time to see Vivid from the water. No need to pay $120. I can't wait to see the rest of your journey! So glad I found your channel before you really blow up. Travel companies and tourism boards should be paying you to promote destinations.

[@roon1sicunt]

Definitely agree with sentiment re: Manly. If you go, get freshly baked sweets and outstanding coffee from Rollers and sit on the beach steps at the end of the Corso.

[@scua541]

[@betula2137]

And just because those mansions aren't kep that way (to keep getting more expensive) out of people (who can afford them) just settling in those homes and keeping them that way, the law literally prevents any increases in supply to reflect demand that is obviously very strong for those areas. So instead of looking like Kings Cross or something, you just get some huge private mansions on very well-located valuable urban land. And that causes sprawl because it offsets the housing that does get built further and further away.

[@TheDoobington]

they're doing well with most place names but I noticed he keeps saying BATONIC instead of BOTANIC....it triggers me but that's a me thing...

[@stumpypetros2685]

Absolutely agree with the ferry suggestion. For anyone, its a fairly cheap, quick tour of the harbour, passing the Naval Base (Garden Island) with all its history. (It got attacked in WW2) You can definitly do roon's suggestion, or, If you turn right at the pedestrian road from the ferry at Manly you can walk to Shelley beach for food/swim, and walk up to the headlands there for an Ocean view and a nice shady place to have some more food or a rest.

[@mikecable9380]

Sydney definitely has a different vibe to other Aussie cities. If time allows, a trip out to the Blue Mtns would be well worth your while😁. Looking forward to the rest of your travels

You should find Dixon Street for cheap eats, mostly Asian and yummy! Bondi is filled during spring and summer along with all the lifeguards. The walk ended at Coodgee Beach,pronounced “could-jee” The loud bird was an Indian Myna Bird, not native to Australia.

A minor point: Fort Denison was never a prison. It was a defence gun emplacement to stop foriegn (enemy) war ship venturing up the parramatta river to Parramatta and the original Government House,and Observatory. It is a Martello tower with a12inch (?) gun pionting straight down the outer habour. and any sailing vessel coming in would have had to cross in front of it and risk being blown out of the water. The prison island in Sydney Harbour was Cockatoo island just west of the bridge, it is now an entertainment precinct.

[@aussie_granny]

As a proud Aussie I'll glad you're loving our country as much as we do and how each state has something different to enjoy. The higher north you go, gets even more diverse and spectacular. Love your postcards, you are so talented.

*in regards to the houses in bondi* apartments in that area usually go for about 2-5 million depending on the size and location so the houses on the coast probably will sell for around 10 million.

[@jk177717]

Once you start to head north from Sydney you're in for a treat on the NSW North Coast. I'd highly recommend spending some time around Coffs Harbour and Bellingen, that are around half way to Brisbane. Must do''s around Bellingen include hiking in the World Heritage listed rainforests around Dorrigo (Dangar Falls and the Wonga Walk including Crystal Shower Falls are standouts) checking out Bellingen (great food and atmosphere), the boardwalks at Urunga (the famous rivermouth one, and also the new wetlands walk if you're there near sunrise). And at Coffs you have the walk through the marina to Muttonbird Island (great views and one of many whalespotting opportunities), the Forest Sky Pier lookout for unrivalled coastal views, two beautiful Sikh temples in Woolgoolga, or (local tip) if it looks like a good sunset, grabbing fish and chips from Sea Salt in Sawtell's fabulous main street), and eating them on Sawtell Headland as the sun goes down over the mountains. As well as the Big Banana, the OG '"Big Thing''. If you visit the Banana, check out the candymakers - they're more impressive than the Banana! Coffs is also a two-Aldi town! Between Sydney and Coffs places definitely worth considering checking out are South West Rocks (convict jail, lighthouse, super pretty coastal scenery - the short Jack Perkins track from the lighthouse to a small nearby beach is fabulous on a sunny winter day) or talking the Lakes Way between Bulahdelah and Taree (fabulous scenery and lighthouse at Seal Rocks, sunsets over the lake at Elizabeth Beach, the giant sand dune right in town at One Mile Beach in Forster). Between Coffs and Brisbane, as well as obligatory Byron Bay (walk to the lighthouse from The Pass), Yamba is fantastic but quite summer-oriented, and Brunswick Heads is more like the Byron that everyone fell in love with 40 years ago than Byron is today. Happy travels - been following your trip since Perth, and curious to see what you make of our part of Australia now you're here (I lived most of my life in Sydney, and now we're up where you're heading to next).

Sydney is a beautiful city because of how it's framed by the natural beauty of the Port Jackson. The Harbour bridge and Opera House only add to this. Fun fact, the AWA tower at 4.37 was once the tallest building in th Sydney CBD.

[@fatwombat1]

Love your videos. Make sure you take the ferry from Circular Quay to Manly, wander around Manly then walk to nearby Shelley Beach then walk up to North Head via Quarantine Station which is a must see. It’s quite a long walk but the views from North Head of Sydney harbour and the ocean are the best !

[@quicksilver2510]

I did the bridge clime for my 50th birthday. That was 10 years ago. I think it cost a few hundred dollars back then. It's well worth it. It takes about an hour and a half, but probably another hour for safety instructions, getting dressed in bridge climbing clothes and harnesses etc.

[@artistchristos]

Thank you so much, that’s really kind of you ❤

[@HelloMyNamesNino]

So glad you came to my home town! I used to live in Coogee where you got on the bus. It’s great. Now on the Northern Beaches. A few observations: - Sydney has excellent south East Asian food, especially as you get out of the CBD. Example, Marrickville has very good banh mi. We’re a nation of (mostly) immigrants and we love food. - yes Bondi was quiet but it will be absolutely packed in summer. Bondi is the finish line for the largest fun run in the world, the City to Surf (usually around 80k ppl) - I would recommend people check out Manly and the Northern Beaches as much as Bondi. Same nice beaches but with a different, more laid back vibe and far less crowded. Cleaner too in my opinion. You can catch the ferry from Circular Quay and the walk to Shelley Beach is to die for. The Pittwater region and Palm Beach are postcard worthy too. - to answer your question, property in Sydney is crazy expensive considering we’re the second least densely populated country in the world behind Mongolia. Expect to pay probably $1.5m for your average 2 bed apartment in Bondi. PLENTY more for the oceanside properties you walked past. - while it’s hard to argue Opera House/Harbour Bridge/Botanic Gardens isn’t iconic and naturally where people would gravitate to first, Sydney Harbour has many more gems, including Middle Harbour, Bradley’s Head where Taronga Zoo is, Balmoral, the Spit to Manly Walk, Watson’s Bay, Rose Bay and heaps of other beautiful spots. - well done timing your visit with Vivid. I drive home over the Harbour Bridge every day and it never ceases to inspire me. - I’m going to encourage people NOT to spend much time in the CBD. Having seen quite a few world cities, it’s fairly standard and not our selling point, except for the harbour around it. Hey great channel. I found you because I’m heading to Cairns later in the year for the first time and devouring any related content. Your video was great and I’ll definitely be doing a similar circuit in the Daintree.

Pinchgut or Ford Denision was not built as a prison. It was built to protect the inner harbour and particularly during the Crimean War in the mid 1800’s as the Colony was concerned about the Russians entering Sydney. I was used to place convicts on the actually island earlier in Sydney’s history on starvation diet. Hence the name “ Pinch Gut”

You got a great spot for sure 😄 Have a awesome time in Sydney and your ongoing adventures!!! ❤

Guys!! This made me cry happy tears. I grew up in Sydney and moved away 20 years ago and miss it so much. Thank you thank you thank you for making this video!!!!!!!!🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Whoa that light show was incredible. Well calling it a light show is honestly underselling it. Sydney seems like all the big "cool" cities in the US but it's actually cool haha. Makes me really want to go visit 🎉

[@kevinpeterson111]

Can you drag me to Australia

[@StephanieHughesDesign]

My hometown. Born and raised. Love it! You completed your walk in Coogee Beach where I was born and raised.

I'm a Melbournite, but it's always great to see videos of beautiful Sydney! Loved watching this one :)

You guys have to get a ferry or two. Circular Quay to Manly and return at Sunset is a winner. Even the ferry to Parramatta is good.

[@tischbrannon7948]

I love love love how you guys are out there enjoying this beautiful world to the fullest staying away from the chaos here in the US. Y'all definitely have the right idea. I always fully enjoy your adventures ❤ Travel on......enjoy! 🙏

Finally made it to Australia’s most beautiful (and expensive) city!

[@mattsmith3135]

I've only been to Sydney once, but I really enjoyed it. It's very touristy, but in a good way and I'd like to go back someday. We wanted to do a harbour cruise, but because it was so expensive we just bought a ferry pass in Darling Harbour (for around $10 I think) and sat on it for its entire route out to Manly and back. :)

I’m so happy you guys got to see Vivid. It’s such a fun thing every winter in Sydney.

[@ceriosborne394]

Australia has never been on my wish list of places to travel to ... until now. Thank you for once again putting together an informative yet fun video - just wish they were slightly longer.

The Algorithm plays a big part in why the videos are kinda short im sure 👍

[@Thisonegoestoeleven666]

It's is an amazing country full of laid back people and some of the most stunning ancient landscapes you will ever experience.

And you might bump into Chris Hemsworth or other well known actors etc in your wanderings. FYI Hemsworth is a major sponsor of Aussie Ark, a program to establish colonies of Tasmanian devils on mainland Australia, including one near my town/city of Newcastle, NSW. We go from subtropical rainforest to montane snow gum communities in less than 30km along parts of the NSW north coast: the Barrington Tops (1550 m/4750 ft) is where the Tassie devil colony is being established.

​@@Feargal011 wtf no you won't come on

[@ChrisJohannsen]

[@donnyazoff980]
