We really love you guys inc your mom and pop, and your glowing reviews of places you visit. I nominate the 4 of you as honorary Aussies and come back often. ❤

[@lol-fd9fj]

I moved to Australia from California 6 years ago. When I moved to Melbourne I had no idea what a beautiful place it is and now I feel so lucky. I travel the great ocean road once a year since the pandemic lifted. It really is a breathtaking drive.

[@GedMac]

You guys are really good video-makers. You never forget the viewers. It’s as if we are travelling with you. Your editing is perfect. And you know how to enjoy yourselves by Sampling, and indulging in, the local wines and beers as you travel. Great stuff!

[@SammyandTommy]

Aw this is such a sweet comment, thank you! 🤗

[@bethlef5168]

❤Always great videos!

[@mrd4785]

You know we don't really have our own cuisine, which many visitors get upset by, but we are a new nation and what we have done is perfected or put our own twist on a lot of food from all over the world. I'm glad you guys had a good fish and chips experience on the perfect day for it. Sometimes I prefer a cloudy day to take in nature, as sometimes the sun can be a bit bright and certain colours do pop in the weather. You might have also noticed how fresh the air was on the south coast, coming up from Antarctica.

[@SammyandTommy]

Yes, nothing beats that fresh crisp air! Agree, the weather was so good for getting some moody shots :)

[@bernbee1679]

So glad you stopped at Anglesea and Laneway 73 has the best coffee there. Enjoy our beautiful coastline

[@tonileatassie]

Your photography on this trip, as with all your vlogs, did not disappoint. Thank you for high lighting our unique wildlife and our amazing island home 🇦🇺 - the most wonderous place on earth.

🎯🎯🎯

[@SammyandTommy]

☺️ thank you so much, we really appreciate that!

[@rusty4827]

It's funny many people talk about the weather on the great ocean road. But you got to remember it's facing the Southern ocean and the next land in Antartica. When we did the G.O.R. day 1 was sunny and warm and it was yeah..ok (we come from a place of warm sunny beaches ). But day 2 was cold, showery and huge seas. Now that day, that day was spectacular.

[@georgiacoombes699]

Loved this reaction to the Great Ocean Road, one of my very favourite places to visit. I’m sorry the sun wasn’t out for you; when the sun is shining on the water the colours are amazing!

[@DanielBatt]

Of course, when it rains, you can get the most awesome rainbows on the planet on the Great Ocean Road.

[@RobertJ-n6h]

You two make me happy! Thank you for the adventures 🙏

[@JhoelandOlivia]

Your videos get me excited for life 🥰 thank you for another wonderful video 💗🌈

[@noway5347]

Mist..rain..clouds..vibrant greens....adds another way to see beauty...as you know. Hope you got into the rain forrests...ferns..waterfalls...Wye River pub for a great view. Fish n chips with crunch..the only way. Happy travels.🎉😊

[@SammyandTommy]

Such great vibes! We really liked experiencing the mist and cloudiness, we had perfect weather later, so we didn't feel like we missed out!

[@ourwanderingheartstv]

I found your channel while you were on your Puglia Italy road trip and I am so excited to be watching you guys now in Australia! Welcome and I hope you have the best time - we finished our Big Lap of Australia last year but we're still going and living full time on the road and it really is a unique and beautiful part of the World. The GOR is one of our favourite spots that surprised us! Loved the video as usual x

[@prabhuprabhu-kv8mv]

Excellent view . Australia is always amazing climate

[@steves524]

Drone shots where awesome 🎉

[@martingifford5415]

Sammy's got so much energy and character.

[@SammyandTommy]

Aww thank ya!!

[@csismanis1]

So nice to see you guys enjoying our beautiful coastline. Stoked to see our friend Tony from Laneway 73 get some airtime. Safe travels.

[@Hawsplay]

What lovely people you are. Great videos! Professional and fun. I'm from Melbourne, and have watched all your Autstralian ones. Happy travels! Will have to check out your other world adventures some time. 👍🏼

[@SammyandTommy]

You're so kind, thanks! So happy you're enjoying the Australia series! 🤗

[@kenstephens3467]

Hi guys. If you happen to be going to Halls Gap while in Victoria. You will see hundreds of Kangaroos at the Caravan park . These are wild Kangas too. Also the walks around Halls Gap are amazing..

[@yggdrasill7811]

excited for you guys to come to South australia :D

[@nicolelubelski2760]

Note worthy is that quite a few die hard International surfers have either flown over with Bells Beach Board or bought a Bells Beach surf board & surfer there, then taken them home. Extremely iconic for surfers here & internationally. Some internationals that I know have gotten a way better price selling them because they the surf board has been used there.

[@michaelsillis1841]

It's so beautiful! I rode my motorbike along there. Cape Ottway is beautiful.

[@Bobbydazzlla]

A bad day at the beach always beats a good day anywhere else - you're at the beach.

[@SammyandTommy]

Agreed!

[@joelredman8729]

Always interesting watching people exploring Australia - and not just in the way places and local things/foods are pronounced (e.g. scallops vs scollops). Did you realise that the fish you ate (Flake) is shark? Well, now you do. I am glad you are enjoying your time here.

[@wmvaux]

Such a shame, the weather wasn't the best. Hope it improves. You have to try a Dim Sim or Chiko Roll too at a fish and chip shop and also must have a Vanilla Slice "aka snot block" from a cake shop or bakery.

[@adelaidebeatricelaing4498]

Thanks so much for your videos, you're doing a great job with your photography and commentary and I'm enjoying it very much. It's lovely to see many places that I haven't seen for so long but still appreciate and enjoy seeing. I don't know whether you have already considered it, but if not may I suggest if you return that way, Healesville Sanctuary at Badgers Creek, part of Zoos Victoria. You'll see all the native animals you want there. It's a lovely place. Hoping you'll visit the Penguin Parade and agree very much with Wye River and The Otways. Have a wonderful trip and holiday and thanks again to the four of you. Wonderful job 😊

[@SammyandTommy]

Thank you so much! So many people suggested the sanctuary, we are sad to have missed it :( Stay tuned for next video though because we did see lots more animals 🤗

[@amandaabdo932]

Haha, welcome to Melbourne where the weather changes from moment to moment!

[@mithrasrevisited4873]

??? the weather has been very constant for the last few weeks. I did not know that other states never got rain. Amazing.

[@grantdesigns2953]

Blah Blah....

[@SammyandTommy]

We experienced all of it haha, perfect weather the very next day!

[@Final_Cut_FF]

I love the beach more in the rain and less people. Would've been nice to have seen Lorne in your video but it was still excellent, thank you.

[@SammyandTommy]

Wish we could've fit more stops in :( We do like a bit more moody as well!

[@Dachopper_]

Also I see you guys are past Lorne which is a shame as there is a great viewing point there called Teddy’s Lookout. If you backtrack be sure to check it out

[@larstorders9695]

Tower Hill Reserve between Warrnambool and Port Fairy, all the kangaroos, emus and koalas you want. Plus it's free.

[@SammyandTommy]

Stay tuned for this one, we LOVED it!

[@damienlewandowski2853]

Barossa Valley is the premier wine region and the McLaren Vale in South Australia...so if you like wines they are must stops.

[@Freo95]

You want sun? Perth is the sunniest city in Australia thanks to 3,200 hours of the good stuff annually. That's 8.8 hours of sunshine per day. It has a sunny disposition too, with 19 beautiful white-sand beaches along 76 miles of metropolitan coastline, a thriving art and food scene, and the world's largest city park. Western Australia also has the longest coastline of any Australian state or territory, with a total length of 20,781 kilometers (12,913 miles) including islands. This includes 12,889 kilometers (8,016 miles) of mainland coastline.

[@top40researcher31]

you should try the great alpine road

[@robertdepaulis5188]

Now you have done the GOR head the other way to another secret coastal road called The Ninety Mile Beach in Gippsland. To the left you have high country and to the right massive lake systems and surf beaches and not to mention Buchanan Caves . Just saying

[@MrTimcoronel]

Cape Otway on the road to the lighthouse is usually packed with koalas

[@anthonypirera7598]

Now I need to check pass videos to see if you went to the Healesville Sanctuary? It's the best place to go in all of Victoria

[@SammyandTommy]

Aw, we are so disappointed to have missed it. So many people have said this!

[@anthonypirera7598]

@SammyandTommy well it will be a nice reason to come back and you made a fantastic video and I posted a link to my friend in Ohio to show her what it is like around the area that I live and I also go to all them places. Oh that reminds me to get some of them cheeses for Christmas ⛄ Have a Merry Christmas 🎄

[@gamortie]

The road to Cape Otway lighthouse often has both kangaroos and koalas

[@AmbitiousMariner]

The spotted blue octopus liked no. 4.

[@Dachopper_]

Ugh sorry about the weather. We’re typically colder in this region but have only half the annual rainfall as Sydney so you got a little unlucky.

[@SammyandTommy]

We don't mind, it was nice because it seemed more moody and quiet. Less people on the roads! We got to experience perfect weather the next day 😉

[@gbsailing9436]

Are you guys going ALL the way around Oz? It's going to take you some time...🧐 It's a shame you missed the jewel spot of Australia while you were in Sydney😞....Perhaps next time. 😎

[@SammyandTommy]

This would be an amazing trip but not this time! Such a big country, can't wait to explore more :)

[@gbsailing9436]

@@SammyandTommy So how far are you going and are you heading back to Sydney to fly out? If so, DO drop into Cronulla on you way. Google it and click on images. We have a great coastal walk.Possibly better than the Bondi/Coogee walk.

[@debkendall]

Great Ocean Road - largest war memorial in the world. Returned soldiers from the ww1 built by hand

[@adamhiggins2213]

No Lorne ???

[@SammyandTommy]

Awww thank ya! 🤗

[@oksananewton7675]

Lest we Forget. The Great Ocean Road is a memorial to the veterans of WW1. Built by the returned soldiers.

[@davidhumphrey2593]

Shit man. Them Aussies gave you DOUBLE the number of burgers and fries to eat at lunch than what Five Guys would, and ANY American can’t eat half a regular order of Five Guys!! 😱😱

[@mcshmurty8255]

It's such a shame about the weather! It's been so consistently warm and sunny for weeks now in Melbourne, but looks like you were very unlucky on your GOR trip.

[@SammyandTommy]

Stay tuned for next video, we had great weather the next day 🤗

[@xingxing85]

Australia does seem like an extremely boring country. It is still entertaining to watch Sam and Tommy though

[@KevinJones-o3t]

Why didn’t you go to the Healesville sanctuary if you wanted to see a kangaroo and lots of other Australian wild life. Sorry nobody told you 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@SammyandTommy]

So sad to have missed it :(

[@gurubalu6677]

My god their accent is painful to ears😂

[@stuarthancock571]

Don’t know if you’re coming to Adelaide or not but there’s the Cleland Wildlife Park there where you can walk amongst and feed kangaroos, wombats, echidnas and even hold a koala

[@SammyandTommy]

That sounds so fun! Not this trip but hopefully on the next one! 🤗
