I emigrated to Sydney from England in 1970 at the age of nineteen. Very different then. On my first full day, my cousin's husband took me around parts of Sydney and as we walked back to our car around 11 o clock in the morning (not far from Circular Quay) a guy staggered out of a pub and vomited all over the footpath (sidewalk). Charming!

My wife and I have been to Sydney 3 times from Idaho, USA. We love Sydney. I first discovered Sydney in 1997 when I visited New Zealand for the second time and then went to Sydney to see an old running buddy. I used to run lots of races, including marathons. Doing that I made friends a long time ago with a few Kiwis. One of them moved to Sydney, where I visited him in 1997. I fell in love with Sydney. When I married my wife in 2000, we honeymooned in Moorea. We have been to Australia three times and both love it.

In my mind, Sydney is the best large city. It just has about everything. If you spend two weeks in Sydney and don't have a good time, then you must not know how to have fun. Go see Bondi Beach, Manly Beach, ride the ferries around the harbor, go see the Blue Mountains, see Taronga Zoo and also Feeatherdale Wildlife, ride the light rail all over the city (which is a beautiful city) and just hang out. I could spend a month there every year and never be bored.

To see some nature and do some hikes, try the Blue Mountains, you can do a day trip out there. A train from Central Station will take about 2hrs to get to Katoomba and from there you can hike around the Three Sisters, one of Katoomba's most famous sights.

make sure you see some of the Australia countryside or bush and not just the cities its the bush and outback is what makes Australia unique , also a good idea would be to go to mebourne and then catch a ferry to Tasmania and hire a car and explore the island of tasmania, it has a small population and little traffic so its easy to drive around, Tasmania has some of the best natural scenery in austalia

Hi Gabriel, Great Barrier Reef was the most memorable experience for us. My wife is absolutely scared of ocean,she doesn't swim,never snorkeled in her life. Excursion to the reef changed her life forever. She would not get enough of snorkeling with all kind of species around her. Unforgettable. We went to Cairns and took Reef Experience tour to Outer reef. Highly recommend it. I can send you link to my video of this trip if you are interested. Enjoy this beautiful continent.

@apip6387 Год назад

Wait. So she doesn't swim and still was able to do snorkeling? I asked, because I can't swim and avoid any water activities. But I like to go snorkeling once. I guess she had you to help her navigate under the water. How did she do it? Was it private snorkeling person you guys hired? Like to know, may be I can do it. Thanks..

@@apip6387 Yes, we took a VIP tour and that comes with private instructor. She wore life jacket and he helped to overcome fear.

Once you do it once you realise it’s not as impossible as it seems.

It’s a great walk from Kings Cross down via the Botanical Gardens to Sydney Harbour and the Opera House.

Gabriel !!! Australia has a huge variety of national foods from all around the world. You can dine on any style of food you like.

So finally, congratulations! Interesting though your first impressions. When I first went to Australia and arrived in Sydney I was disappointed because I was expecting something totally different having lived all my life in England and it reminded me of home, but it also has an American vibe too. Anyway for us Westeners it's like a copy of home!

My Aunt use to stay at St Vincent's convent many years ago when she was alive. I can remember visiting there in the early 1970's.

Welcome to Australia Gabe! I hope that you love our country and have an awesome stay. I live in Victoria, about 100 KMs up from Melbourne. In the goldfields area. Lots to see there too. Hope that you have a fantastic time. 🙂

Hi Gabriel I’m letting you know to check out the original library downtown Sydney. It is spectacular 😮. Watching this vlog brought back so many memories I was there 5 weeks in 1977 and 7 weeks in NZ

I'd recommend catching a ferry from Circular Quay to Rose Bay or Manly. The views are amazing of the Opera House and the bridge. From Rose Bay you can then go to Bondi and if inclined, do the Bondi to Coogee Beach walk

The bird is an Ibis - commonly called a "Bin Chicken" as they scavenge through garbage. The ferry trip over from Circular Quay to Manly Beach is always worth it - cheap & great fun.

I'm here now, i just rented a camper (on Camplify from a local) for 10 days and drove up to Brisbane. Was a great trip. Sydney has so much to see and do. Make sure to drink a Balter XPA, head to Darling Harbour and the Star Casino for evening fun. Get a ferry to Manly, walk round Bondi / Coogee. Glebe point park is nice. The coin museum is cool. There is so much to see and do - enjoy!

I loved my visit to WA Perth, gorgeous weather and fantastic outdoor activities with British creature comforts like fish and chips. I wanted to visit Sydney but could not afford the air fare which was almost the same cost as my flight from the UK with Qatar.
