@WalkingandTalkingAussieGirl Год назад

not sure what your plans are in Brisbane, but a good day trip is Stradbroke Island (you can book a day trip), Tangalooma Islands you can snorkel amongst shipwrecks (may want to book accommodation for one night as its a bit of hike from here), if you are in central brisbane there is Southbank as its called with museums and free 'beach pool',. Mt cootha where you get a full view of brisbane and there is a cafe there and there are small hiking tracks, then one hour either north or south of brisbane there is the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast with their own sets of beaches! No crocs there!

@clareholgate8718 Год назад

@MuhammadIamhardBrucelee Год назад

This is like the most touristy video series of Australia and you are hopscotching from one major city to another spending 2 days in each city and this is hardly the Australian experience. If you really want to experience Australia, rent a 4WD and drive the off-road tracks of the outback. This series is hardly interesting with 2 days in every major metro in Australia drinking beer and visiting the spots listed on TripAdvisor. There’s got to be a thousand videos before you of people doing the same thing in the same cities. Most of your videos are just mass produced tourist videos and the problem is, there is no shortage of them on RU-vid. If you want the viewers to engage in your videos, you need to film in off the beaten path and offer new perspectives in new places. Your videos now have less than 10% of your subscribers engaging in your videos and your view numbers reflect that. These videos are so pedestrian and touristy with nothing new or new insights. You hardly ever spend any worthwhile time in any place staying just 2 days and burning jet fuel to be away somewhere else halfway across the world 2 days later. There is no depth or new perspective on any of your videos. Sorry if that was harsh but I just wanted to be honest.

@donsforever93 Год назад

I live in Cairns and it really is the best place to live. Great weather, beautiful scenery in all directions and a nice lifestyle. I’d recommend actually going to the outer reef or Fitzroy instead of Green Island (it’s the last place I recommend for people going out on the reef) but it still looks like you had a nice day. If you can, get to the Atherton Tablelands or the Daintree - my favourite places in the region.

@Kittybarcode Год назад

I don’t know about Americans but Australians don’t swim in a harbour 😂. You keep saying you can’t swim in the beach in the city , of course not , because it’s not called a “beach” it’s harbour / esplanades . Also cairns is such a vibrant city , don’t be so quick to pass judgment and says it’s a boring city 😮travel north and you will see breathtaking beaches less than 20 min from the city centre

Hey Gabriel. I have been watching your extreme in depth series in greece for my own research as going there this year. I'm Australian, grew up in Cairns & have been living in south east qld Brisbane & the gold coast for 15 years. I worked in tourism selling tours for all of Queensland, if you need any advice just drop me a reply. :-) I noticed that you are not taking the time to see one of the biggest countries, which makes me a bit confused, you need time & lots of it in Australia to see it properly. You need to hire a car in that part of Australia to truley see everything or do many expensive day tours. The northern beaches of cairns where I grew up is where the beaches are and nets you can swim in for the jellyfish season. To see the reef you need to go to the outter barrier reef, not green island as its closest to Cairns. The further north also gets more pristine. Although expensive, I would suggest if you can to take a low level flight across the reef. Port Douglas is one of my favourite places, sunday markets best time, Mossman Gorge a must. Also have cape tribulation, daintree river, now thats where there are crocs. The tablelands in the hills with alll the little villages & waterfall circuits & lakes. Also suggest south of Cairns, do not miss the whitsundays.

@GabrielTravelerVideos Год назад

It's a matter of economics and exchange rates. Everything is less in certain countries, wages and the prices of things, so it balances out. This tends to correspond with the standard of living in the country so yes, it's not exactly fair but it's the way it is and the businesses and families still appreciate tourist dollars in their countries.

@northernstar4811 Год назад

Cairns and nearby islands look great, tropical and clean. Although: I thought the veggie burger & chips, two scoops ice-cream & drink lunch cost at $47.00 AUD was on the high side. The other issue are the Irukandji jellyfish which inhabit the Australian tropics. They are very small and very poisonous and can attach themselves to your face even if you are wearing a wet suit. They can be deadly and can cause a lot of pain to the survivors.

@brianfraser2495 Год назад

In Darwin you have to worry about salties near the mangrove swamps, stinging box jellyfish and great white sharks. The Barrier Reef adds venomous sea snakes and stonefish with toxic spines. I managed to avoid these on a visit from Canada. Gorgeous scenery.

@terryomalley1974 Год назад

I've always wanted to visit Cairns, as well as the Whitsunday Islands, both of which are in Northern Queensland. Cairns reminds me somewhat of Naples, Fla, except that Naples has nice beaches bordering the city. The weather looks ideal, and the Great Barrier Reef is obviously a must see. The weird thing for us North Americans about Australia is that it gets warmer and more tropical the further north you go. It seems counter-intuitive. Anyways, enjoy the rest of your stay down under and keep up the great work with the videos!

@dragonfly9209 Год назад

Every thing is the opposite in the Southern Hemisphere. The further South you go it gets colder because the closer you get to Antartica. Fun fact you may or may not know: In the Northern Hemisphere--- water swirls down the drain in a counter-clockwise direction. In the Southern Hemisphere---water swirls down the drain clock-wise. Everything is backwards.

Aussies are friendly and helpful. If you ask a local for the best place to eat on a budget you will probably get the best meal deal in the area, and don’t forget that there is no requirement to tip or any added taxes. The listed price is all inclusive. There are local restaurants of course for “fine dining”. Whether at home or travelling, I look for a cafe/coffee shop during the day but may go to a local Club, pub or restaurant for lunch or an evening meal. My husband and I took our grandchildren out for dinner last night to our local club and the meal cost was under AU$80. “CLUBS” such as RSL’s (clubs run for veterans), sports clubs such as football, surf, Lawn Bowls etc all service regional town or city suburbs raising money for the community through the provision of bistros, poker machines, musical entertainment and social events. There is also a huge trend to offer “Vegan” and “Vegetarian” options everywhere with many “Vegan only” cafes, restaurants and buffets in Melbourne (my home town) and Australia wide.

Good video, There used to be a lot of fish around Green Island as depicted in your Mexican video about 20-30 years ago. It may also be seasonal and tide related as well. If you go to Kuranda you can get the train up via the waterfall and the sky rail back for about 100.00 Aud. Otherwise you can save some money buy getting the public bus up from the CBD for 7 bucks and the sky rail back down to Smithfield for 50 bucks, where you catch a public bus back to the CBD.

$31 dollars for a veggie burger with no paddy and a couple of other things. Yikes 😳 expensive

Great content as usual.. Re Brisbane (Brisvagas), you will hear about walking 'Southbank and Howard Smith Wharves'. Tip, these are much better enjoyed at night. Also there's great rainforest hiking with caves canyons and waterfalls around 'Springbrook' about an hours drive south. From there it's about another 30 min on to our famous Gold Coast beaches.

Nice! Wish this vlog would’ve come into fruition before I went to Australia in January. Instead of Perth, Cairns would’ve been a better choice for my water activities. Next time!

@@paulburns2067 nothing is wrong with West Australia, I enjoyed my time there! But it would’ve been nice to explore the Great Barrier Reef :)

Cross aren't a problem, they were protected after they were on verge if extinction. When you swim in Thailand they used to be everywhere until they were wiped out of along with most of SE Asia areas.

My jumping off place for the Great Barrier Reef was Port Douglas. Then we took a wave piercer out almost 45 minutes to the reef to snorkel. A-mazing!

Correction.........it took an hour and 45 minutes to get to the reef where we snorkeled. Well worth the long trip out. We were told the reef is strictly controlled and they grant only a certain number of permits to be able to dive and snorkel. I remember the platform being owned by a company called Quicksilver. I am not sure if it has any affiliation to the clothing company of the same name. Gabe, are you going to try to visit at least the edge of the Outback? Definitely worth the experience. We also visited an Aboriginal community, but prepare a bit in advance because travel into some Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities require a permit, similar to visiting a National Park. Well worth the information received from the native people-so interesting. I would not leave Australia without a deeper understanding of the Aboriginal people.
