This EXPAT SAVED my LIFE in AUSTRALIA! I could have DIED of THIRST!

[@KumarRanjithkumar-md4lz]

Great job our good UK mate Marty.I am very impressed and proud of you. Good publicity of our great safest city in Australia - Perth.

Know why Lee has gone to Australia for three weeks? To allow his car to charge.

What a lovely bloke, a true gentleman, sending you the Yorkshire Tea and great company for you today, great to watch.

[@jubronaljoan]

My Country, by Dorothea MacKellar, who wrote this poem in 1908 while she was visiting England and missing her home country. The second stanza is possibly one of the most well known and recited pieces of poetry in Australian history: The love of field and coppice Of green and shaded lanes, Of ordered woods and gardens Is running in your veins. Strong love of grey-blue distance, Brown streams and soft, dim skies I know, but cannot share it, My love is otherwise. I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, Of droughts and flooding rains. I love her far horizons, I love her jewel-sea, Her beauty and her terror The wide brown land for me! The stark white ring-barked forests, All tragic to the moon, The sapphire-misted mountains, The hot gold hush of noon, Green tangle of the brushes Where lithe lianas coil, And orchids deck the tree-tops, And ferns the warm dark soil. Core of my heart, my country! Her pitiless blue sky, When, sick at heart, around us We see the cattle die But then the grey clouds gather, And we can bless again The drumming of an army, The steady soaking rain. Core of my heart, my country! Land of the rainbow gold, For flood and fire and famine She pays us back threefold. Over the thirsty paddocks, Watch, after many days, The filmy veil of greenness That thickens as we gaze ... An opal-hearted country, A wilful, lavish land All you who have not loved her, You will not understand though Earth holds many splendours, Wherever I may die, I know to what brown country My homing thoughts will fly.

[@debshipard1664]

Its such a true poem. xxx

[@Alan..W]

Not going to lie you are doing alright with these videos in Perth. What a beautiful place, you've captured it so well and sold it to me ......

[@TheMacMaster]

Thanks Alan.

[@markstephens5118]

Great video, and yes, the over whelming impression you come away with about Perth is " such a relaxed city." Coming from a small city in the south Island of NZ and getting to Perth via Sydney on the Indian Pacific train ,we found Perth and its neighbouring towns to the south a very relaxing place to tour . Can't recommend it enough.

[@ell_is_here5834]

this chap with you Lee is an absolute natural on camera! What a nice bloke too :)

[@richardgetlevog3123]

Loved this video Lee. Your mate in it seemed like a really good down to earth bloke and a great laugh. Brilliant to see buddy. What a beautiful place☀️🙂👍

[@ScotlandsFinest-hr4bv]

Fantastic vlog Lee, thank you so much for all the hard work you do to bring us all the enjoyment of your travels, your professionalism shames the uk mainstream media 👍👍

[@TheMacMaster]

Thank You

[@nigel8499]

Loved the interaction with your new friend. I'm loving Perth and I really hope you get the views to encourage a return visit.

[@chatrkat]

Lee, I am really enjoying your trip to AU. I will never get there unfortunately, but your high resolution videos make me feel like I’m visiting the country with you. Thank you!

[@Johnny-Bhoy]

Martin was brilliant fun, glad you’re really enjoying Oz, and not nit picking like some….have a fab time m8👍👍

[@steverees1936]

Listening to this man share his experience brings back great memories for me. We sailed out to Australia on the Australis back in 1970 and settled in Melbourne. It was around a 5 week trip from Southampton and it was sensational. Really loving these vids and hope you enjoy the rest of your trip. 👌🙂

[@ChrisLimey]

What a nice guy he was. I bet everyone watching this would like to of met him as well.

[@PaulCowcher]

Well done Martin. Great guest and very knowledgable.

[@keithdonnelly8383]

Lee, we always used to watch your Tenerife vlogs. Martin is our brother in law and should be a courteous and entertaining local guide. Keith and Linda Donnelly

[@charlesjames799]

What a great character Martin is, he would be great companion for a few bevy’s. I have been to Oz twice before 1991 and 2004 but never made it to Perth, after watching your video I think I would like to visit. Well done guys

[@AUmarcus]

How do you know a plane load of poms has arrived? The whining keeps going when the engines are turned off. 🤣👍

[@THE-THATCH]

War of the Roses comes to mind, Lee 🤭 What a thoroughly nice, genuine chap Martin is, a proper ex-pat from Lancashire, this is what you get type of bloke. I think all of us subscribers are enjoying your trip down under videos (well 99.9% of the vids, 🤔I'll say no more lol) You should be paid by the Australian tourist board, I'm looking for flights to Perth as we speak, luckily I have friends and family down there. What a beautiful place & not that expensive 👍

[@speedtripleish]

I'm loving these Vlogs. Summit I think may be of interest is while your meeting expats to hear their story of how they came to be "Down under" I think there's a definite interest there. Adds another dimension to the Vlog as well as site seeing and food reviews. But loving these vids regardless!

[@carlsmart9353]

Great vid mate. You two were so natural and very funny. Ernie and wise for sure. Loved it

[@leet.2229]

The next time we go to Australia we were thinking of going to Perth. Lee mate after watching your videos we're definitely going to Perth, it's absolutely gorgeous.

[@andersonomo597]

You'll love Freemantle - don't miss visiting the jail, it's a real eyeopener and heartbreaking - and Rottnest Island is gorgeous. Cheers from Sydney!

[@lisaholliday1080]

What a great vlog, a nice easy going bloke with a great sense of humour. Looked like you had a great day/ night. The steak sarnie looked a 9/10 for me. Loving this series , Perth really gets under your skin in a fab way , you are not going to want to leave 😎 ps grand lane fisheries for fish and chips and curry sauce 😊

[@carolmurray5569]

Another great video lee, Martin is such a nice guy. Beautiful sunset and view 😋😋

[@lauraburge2529]

What a lovely man Martin is! Loving these videos Lee. Making me want to go to Perth 😊

[@philippacrowe8499]

This episode got you another subby. Really enjoyed Martin's company, btw Martin you have a doppleganger a really nice bloke called Mick, great Stonemason (real artist with old stone buildings!) from Tassie

[@markmakinson1423]

That was a great vid Lee. How great is our city of Perth and especially the sunsets 👍👍👍👍👍

Love it.

[@dianeshepherd7913]

Great video Lee, great views, food looked good, and your guest was su h a great guy good company 😊

[@IloveFreo]

Great video. You guys were like two old mates catching up.

[@andrewr6430]

Loving this ‘new series’ Lee, especially meeting all the ex pats and hearing their stories, really interesting. How you manage to get this sort of video colour & quality out of an iPhone is incredible, no wonder you’re called the Macmaster, amazing. The editing must take hours. Looking forward to the Sydney side of things, especially the pricing differences. My brother lives there, left UK in 2003. I visited 2006 and it seemed expensive back then. Keep up the brilliant work!

[@garymillerlcs]

Well done Lee (and Martin) on another smashing trip video. Informative and humorous. So much better than any mainstream TV travel programme. We appreciate you filming it for us. Have to disagree about Vegemite though, it’s far better than Marmite in my opinion!

[@chrissloan8953]

What a nice bloke! enjoyinh the Aussie series makes a nice change and great to involve your fans, looked like you had a good sesh lol

[@andrewsnooks9077]

Great vlog Lee Nice to meet up with Martin to show you round !!

Aww mate aww ripper cob you ain’t half done a first rate job. You knocked it out the park with this vid mate, well done, best vid I’ve seen for a while. 👏👏👏

[@Alunticstalkedme4072]

Cold in Perth is an 18 degree day, night rarely gets diennto zero. It is nothing compared to a UK winter. You can have 23 degree sunny days in winter, like an English summer.

[@spekkyBarsteward]

What a nice guy he is Lee, he's great in front of the camera.

[@NickyDunn]

Good to see you using your air-con device. 4 half hours. 🤣🤣 The weather, how lovely. A little warm. Lovely walkabout. Good to hear his story. Perth sounds wonderful. And it is so clean. Your food looked tasty. So true. About the adverts. But that is the power of advertising.🥰 Top man. Getting you some Yorkshire Tea. The only brew I drink. You are right about the charts. I would not have a clue now. Ha ha. Gorgeous sunset. Great video. xx

[@BarryBryant-g5p]

I work with Martin in a local Hobby Store in Perth, and it was great to see you and Martin. I arrived in Perth from Cheshire in 1969. Nice to see you enjoying our heat.

[@TinaR622]

Thanks Tina. Will do. :0)

[@mariajefferies8555]

The Ritz has an awesome view. Great Hotel too❤ Glad your enjoying Perth, I know people say it’s boring, but it’s not it’s a great place to live ❤

[@olgacorona9262]

Great clips. The Pub, Hotel, and Tavern confusions? . Back in the day it was illegal to sell alcohol in an establishment unless you had accommodation. So in order to get around this the pubs called themselves hotels, put a few rooms above the pub so they could get their liquor license. Hence why all our pubs are called hotels. This laws does not apply these days, but all the old pubs still are called hotels.

[@garyphillips006]

What a character Martin is, would enjoy a beer in his company 😃

[@cazm2524]

Feb and cold what a time for you to be away--looks lovely loved every video you have done down under

[@70chevs]

Lee you look like you're enjoying your time in Perth and you appear very relaxed, nothing to do with not worrying about range anxiety and if the next charge point is available or even working.

[@helgabullabong]

Loving this Oz series. Its great hearing from Ex Pats too. Food looked awesome. Cheers

[@glenndurward2669]

Someone has most likely already mentioned it to you but if you get the chance take a trip out to Whiteman Park which is about 20km N/E of the city. There are lots of Kangaroos just lounging around, lots of natural bushland and a pretty good car museum as well as lots of other interesting stuff. You may need to get a ride there though as the train line is not completed yet.

[@eladreleped]

A nice relaxed video. Don't you remember the saying, "Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the mid day sun". That's why no one is around, we are all inside sitting under our air con.

[@dentray]

We have a bit in common! We came to Perth in 1972 when I was 11 we went back in 1975 and I re emigrated in 1981 when I was 19 one of the last 10 pound Poms! Free as a child 10 pound as an adult lol how times have changed with Visas

[@ENGLEBERT2000]

Excellent video. When do you see skies that blue in the UK ? I am loving your Aussie adventures so far. Fantastic escapism for us "Poms" stuck in cold and dreary UK.

[@TheMacMaster]

Thank you.

[@SPDTDL]

To be fair, the UK sky was beautiful and blue today without a single cloud. It was however, freezing 😂

[@rinibrugel3573]

I was in Perth a few years ago on a Cruise from Sydney, finishing up in Freemantle. Wife and I spent 2 days in Perth and then took the Indian Pacific train back to Sydney. The train was fantastic and took 4 days to get back. There was several stops with tours in various towns. The meals were first class and I think it would be right up your alley.

[@martinwalker3372]

Great views and I loved the sunset Lee. Another lovely video.

[@paulgee2535]

Great vid as usual and what a great ex pat as your guest! Funny and informative! I’m aiming to travel to Perth later this year because of your vids. It looks amazing.

Hi Lee. Hope you are having a great time down under as I love your vlogs of Australia. Take care Love Sharon ❤️❤️

[@EvilSie]

Used to drink Castlemaine XXXX when I was 16 and pints used to cost less than 2 quid (the good old days). Every Australian I've ever met (most of them surfing types at Newquay) has always said that they wouldn't touch Fosters with a bargepole and to drink proper Aussie stuff like VB and Carlton.

[@catharine1108]

Great vid Lee, you two are a wonderful combo

[@rallycrosscraig]

Great to see these clips of Perth - have visited many times ( from London) and nice to see the Bell Tower ( I got married there!) Perth is a strange place so isolated but also so nice to visit has everything you need. Really enjoyed the video yesterday with the Subaru x Colin McRae rally team chap.
