Coming from Melbourne I must say Sydney is truly Incredible especially around the Bay. I have no Jealousy and don't go into the stupid rivalry that exists.
Yes, Melbourne is great, I used to visit Melbourne a couple of times a year at least mainly to go to the footy and once to go to the Melbourne Cup in 2007 I think I'm still paying that visit off 😂 ... it's a totally different city to Sydney in many ways but always interesting and fun.... cheers!
*UPDATE:* Thanks to @ballantynemoyes8019 for pointing out that the prominent house at 6:05 is the official residence in Sydney of the Governor-General of Australia. The Prime Minister's house is next door. Someone there told me otherwise 🙈, and after a quick search I also came across lots of online pics referring to that property as the Kirribilli House. Anyways, hope you'll love Sydney as much as we did . Missed any video in Australia? Watch this series from the beginning: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2k--1eubJb4.html
Renata:Congratulations to you guys for your new remarkable video today’s from the amazing Opera House in Sydney, Australia this week to shows other remarkable places in 2023❤❤❤
The first ships contained Prisoners (not necessarily Criminals).... many were political prisoners from Ireland, farmers who had poached on the land owners property and so on. Jails were overcrowded so off they went to Australia - because the original place they were sent was the colony of America which then declared independence. Interesting. Great camera work guys!!
Many of the transportees were convicted of petty crimes - 7 years Transportation was the standard penalty for petty theft, so it's since been argued that Britain did this to essentially make sure they have a slave labour force for their colonies in the southern hemisphere. Unlike the Americas or India, there wasn't any prestige or fortune to be made in Aus at that time and Britain was more concerned with beating the French to Australia, so they were motivated to colonise on the cheap. The bonus about the petty crime/transportation scheme was that it frequently ensnared tradesmen and craftsmen, urgently needed for the colonies...
I'm glad you enjoyed my home city of Sydney, Melbourne, it is also a beautiful city, the food scene and architecture is amazing down there, Adelaide is also a very pretty city with an Amazing food / wine scene, we are very lucky in Australia as all our capital cities are distinctly unique, and amazing places to visit.
Yes. My city is absolutely beautiful and clean. Very proud of being a Sydneysider. You’re in a right choice of job Renata. Very professional and Gordon really makes me laugh. He’s funny. Like you both. Look after each other.
Thanks for showcasing my home city ❤️ even though I’ve lived here my whole life, there’s still things I don’t know about it. Until recently, I’d never being into the ANZAC memorial, and it was on the most beautiful and somber buildings. I’ve notice how much Sydney has changed particularly in the last 10 years, there’s been a lot of development (some good and some not so good), but it’s always been a nice city to walk around at any time of the year…looking forward to the next videos!!
Most of the convict were petty criminals, and we refer to them as convicts not criminals. The vast majority lived crime free lives after their sentences ended. This is more than can be said for the members of the Rum Corps, who were the guards. They were corrupt and rebellious. They were eventually replaced when Governor Macquarie arrived in 1810 with his own corps. Many of the leaders of the Rum Corp were sent back to Britain to face charges. Yes there were women on and from the First Fleet, although they were always out numbered by the male convicts throughout the transportation system. The numbers between the sexes slowly evened up as babies and free settlers started arriving. Also the first free settlers started arriving within the first few years of the First Fleet. They too were outnumbered by the convicts. But surprising numbers of free settlers arrived from very early on. You are correct that initially no thought was given to the make up of the convicts, and very few on the First Fleet were farmers or had suitable skills. There most famous early farmer was James Ruse, who was a convict on the First Fleet and had been a farmer in his former life. He grew two successful crops in the early years. The then Governor of NSW started marking land grants to convicts who completed their sentences, and they became the farmers of the colony.
I know this as I am descended from quite a few convicts. The earliest was my 6 x great grandfather, who arrived on the First Fleet and he married a woman from the Second Fleet.
Thank you for showing the beautiful city I'm lucky enough to call home I'm originally from the UK but I've lived in Sydney for more than 40 years and it is never boring the view of the harbour and city skyline never gets old, the only problem is it's an expensive place to live, other than that the weather is great the people are generally friendly, it's very multicultural, it's a pretty safe place, the traffic can be awful, but there's always plenty to do and see Thank you for visiting and your Video the more people who visit our wonderful country the better 💯💙 💛
Fun fact - only until recently no buildings in Sydney were allowed to be taller than the Sydney tower / centrepoint at 250m. Now there are two, with many more to come.
for a beer to be charged that much is not just the alcohol tax but the location as well... you're having a beer at one of few famous iconic places in the world
I remember visiting Sydney with my brother, we went to the Cargo Bar near the harbour. We were in line and a bouncer yelled out 'we need two men, this bar dosn't have enough men' - We responded 'we're two men!' and we jumped the line and were let in. Only time in history that has happened. There was about 5 womens water polo teams there which caused a ratio
You were showing my neighborhood. Everything you showed are places I regularly walk to. I could even see my building. We live on the 13th floor, and love our beautiful Sydney surroundings.
Renata you are ENFP, not ESFP (which you told me you think you are.) ENFPs are more bubbly than ESFPs. And prefer to observe the natural environment over acting on it. ENFPs are the type most likely to do travel videos. My hunch is your husband is an ISTP. He seems like a sensor that grounds you. A good match.
Everything is walkable within the CBD. I would definitely recommend taking the ferry around the CBD and to the outer beaches....beaufiful views. Watch for my upcoming videos and see my World cup Perth/Sydney video.
Hi Renata, great video as usual, and it really makes me all pumped up for my upcoming trip to Sydney! One quick question: what time in the day did you take the footages of the Opera House and the Coat hanger at around 6:35 in the video? The lighting is simply perfect. I wanna take some photos from the same spot and I wanna make sure to go there at the right hours so that they are not backlit😂 Thanks!
Hello, that is awesome you will be going to Sydney. You want to look for Mrs. Maquarie's Chair on Google maps. In that vicinity is a look out point and then along the trails in Royal Botanic Garden you have various vantage points to take photos. We missed sunrise but that would be an awesome time to film/shoot. I believe we were at those points around 8 am. Plus, its free to enter the Gardens and short walking distance from the CBD.
@@WChocoleta Ahhhhh! I’ve been to China twice, visited Beijing, Tianjin, Wuhan, Shenyang and Shanghai, unfortunately before having this channel 💔. But hopefully one day we’ll be back 😉😁
Sydney is indeed a great city but the rest of New South Wales is pretty spectacular as well. Not many people visit the north coast of New South Wales and they miss the beaches the rainforest the waterfalls and the world heritage national parks in this area Towns such as Port Macquarie Coffs Harbour Grafton Bellingen and Dorrigo should be on every tourist list but they are missed because people concentrate on the big cities
Renata:I am hoping that you guys are going to releases a new remarkable video this week from Sydney or Canberra, Australia October of 2023❤❤❤Congratulations to you guys after spending FOUR or FIVE months in Australia 2023 shooting remarkable videos in these amazing Australian cities 2023❤❤❤
The city area on the harbour and beaches are truly fantastic, but the sprawling western suburbs are a complete sh.thole. There are far more ‘liveable’ Australian cities.
Renata:Congratulations to you guys for your new remarkable video that was released yesterday from Sydney, Australia to shows the remarkable “Opera House & Botanical Gardens” with other amazing places in the city September of 2023❤❤❤
Aussie here, born in Sydney but live in Perth. Back in the Eighties you could visit the Opera House and buy an inexpensive meat pie from the snack bar, nowadays it's all about impressing tourists and the food doesn't come cheap. Tourists = money. Glad that I now live in an amazing part of Australia away from the rat race.
Renata:Congratulations to you guys after spending FOUR or FIVE Months in these amazing Australian cities releasing remarkable videos in 2023❤❤❤I wish you guys safe journeys & good luck always for more new videos to come up in 2023❤❤❤
Some convicts brought their wives and children with them, my ancestor did, they arrived in 1792 just 4 years after the First Fleet, husband, wife and two tiny sons. He had been a farmer so he settled in well.
Sorry, the government building on the harbour you pointed out is the Governor General's official Sydney residence. The Prime Minister's official Sydney residence is white and smaller, positioned next door.
The architect was indeed a convict, Francis Greenway. The kicker is that he was transported to Australia for forgery. He was then celebrated (as an architect) on Australia's $10 note. According to wikipedia, he is the only convicted forger to appear on a nation's currency.
You were in my city 😊. I have been living in Sydney for 20 years. Love the current modern busy metropolitan vibe especially on George Street walking friendly corridor, from China Town up to Circular Quay. Love the new Darling Harbour, Barangaroo and The Rocks. I didn’t miss the old Sydney 😂 (maybe someday).
Sydney is a diverse city with many suburbs that have been influenced by various countries of origin. Here are some examples of suburbs in Sydney known for their cultural diversity and connections to specific countries or regions: 1. Chinatown (Haymarket) - Influenced by Chinese culture and cuisine. 2. Little Italy (Leichhardt) - Known for its Italian heritage and dining options. 3. Little Portugal (Petersham) - Influenced by Portuguese culture and cuisine. 4. Little Greece (Earlwood) - A hub for Greek culture and food. 5. Little Vietnam (Cabramatta) - Known for its vibrant Vietnamese community and cuisine. 6. Little Korea (Strathfield) - Influenced by Korean culture and dining. 7. Little India (Harris Park) - A suburb with a strong Indian cultural presence. 8. Little Sri Lanka (Pennant Hills) - Influenced by Sri Lankan culture and cuisine. 9. Little Brazil (Five Dock) - Known for its Brazilian community and eateries. 10. Little Lebanon (Lakemba) - A suburb with a significant Lebanese influence.
@@k.vn.k yeah George street having the light rail is newish and Barangaroo’s been there for a while now almost 10 years since it opened. In saying that I miss the old wharves when Sydney harbour was a working harbour. The hungry mile. The old cargo ships added some grunge to the current yachts and boats. Thankfully we’ve still got the ferries.
Renata: Welcome to Sydney, Australia for you guys to visit the remarkable Opera House in Sydney this week in great joy September of 2023❤❤❤I wish you guys safe journey & good Luck always on your remarkable journey in 2023❤❤❤
An interesting quirk of history regarding the architect you mentioned: I believe you were referring to Francis Greenway. His crime was forgery. In recognition of his contribution to Australian architecture, he was depicted on the Australian $10 note. Presumably, he is the only forger depicted on a bank note. A small correction: I am pretty sure more ANZACs died on the western front (France and Belgium) in WWI than at Gallipoli. That includes two of my great-uncles.
Renata: Welcome to Sydney, Australia for you guys to visit this amazing Opera House this week with other tourists & other remarkable places & Landmarks in September of 2023❤❤❤
Great video, love your enthusiasm. Actually, convict transportation ended in 1840. There were SOME female convicts right from the start. Most convicts ended up as free settlers, a few even in important positions. Things were pretty quiet here until gold was discovered in Ballarat, in Victoria, in 1851. Things just went crazy for a while - the population doubled within the year, and by ten times within the decade.
Renata:I am looking forwards for you guys to releases a new remarkable video this week from Sydney or Canberra, Australia to shows some amazing places & Landmarks in great joy❤❤❤I wish you guys safe journeys & good Luck to you guys always for more new videos to come up soon in 2023❤❤❤

Renata: Are you guys hoping to visit the capital city of Canberra, Australia in October of 2023 after visiting Sydney in September of 2023? I wish you guys safe journeys for more new videos to be releases in Sydney & other cities Australia of 2023❤❤❤
Nice video of my city & you are very well informed...well we don't have to tell Melbournians...they know it already; they just won't admit to us or themselves...Enjoy your stay 😎
What would you be expecting? We managed to hang onto a few of the old buildings, but the Sydney CBD is a commercial centre with a somewhat restricted footprint. So going up in the North American style was the option taken (if that is what you are referring to). Also, the layout of the Sydney CBD wasn't planned, but grew organically out of the tracks of the early settlement.
@@daveg2104 jeez don't get so sensitive. I was just in mid tier Chinese city and it was mind blowing, was just expecting the largest city in Australia to ve more impressive. Still looks better tha from where I am from in karachi
@@raaid85 OK. It was unclear what you were getting at. Just some local context for anyone wondering. Melbourne has a somewhat more impressive skyline than Sydney, although a larger % of the buildings are apartments. There are also height restrictions on Sydney buildings. Sydney's population is just over 5.3 million in a country of nearly 27 million.
Yes people from down in Mexico "Melbourne" think their river and railway station look better then this ,all you need to do is ask the tourist. I was born here so well im a little biased but i like Brisbane . There are at least some surviving 1790's buildings but most of them are west of the city
@RenataPereiraTV It's a figure of speech. Those same streets today originally started life as, for example' ofthe track between say the blacksmiths shop and the field clearing camp at Potts Point, and it would consist of two wheel ruts from a bullock dray towed by 4-6 bullocks. The shop stayed in the same place, the camp stayed in the same place, ev loer lol, no my NJy day tools would get blunt and chip and get damaged and you would drive to camp, pick the broken ones , drop off the broken etc etc. back and forth from what's now Glebe to Potts Point has been blazed. So now the clearing camp moves again, down towards Bottany settling 15 miles away and then working theiir backstown, but then they need to send a team out to the new settlement at Liverpool. A road from Govt House to Parramatta he'd been blazed by the expedition crew, so now our blacksmith only has to find a shortish and easiest way to cut across from his place the Barracks Rd Ease was far more important than miles to travel. Now the biggest problem with all these dray tracks and the like, was that unlike cities like Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane (although not so much Hobart) not a single main road, connecting road, trunk road, utility road, service road, none of them were surveyed. There were ship sextants, but there wasn't a theodolite in the colony until 1818. That's a full 30 years after Sydney Harbour was first settled, and had survived unbroken, expanding with each new fleet of convicts and free men, archers, soldiers, marines. Those roads now had inns and houses, stores and hotels. By 1820, 42 years after setting on the shores of watsons bay, the colony had a population including the prison system, the convicts on Bill of Leave, the NSW Corps, Free Colonists, The Diplomatic Corps,and VARIIOUS OTHER mixed race an religion schools added up, and Sydney's population has grown from tewuew
Actually, the building you showed across from the city was Admiralty House & it is the Sydney Residence of our Head of State, The Governor General. Kirribilli House, (The Sydney House of the Prime Minister), is around the corner & not able to be seen from the city.
Thanks for the update! I guess the people who told us were misinformed 😂. And even after searching online, a bunch of sites also had the wrong info… Anyways, I addressed it in the pinned comment 😉
Hello Renata please which camera do you use . This video is so incredible . I would like to take some pictures for the wedding but I don’t know which camera to use. Thank you 😊
One additional comment, generally the cheaper the camera, GoPro/cellphone, the lest optimal it performs in lower light situations. Images become vey grainy. I remember because a friend filmed a wedding, his first, and that is what stood out to me.
Hi Reneta, great video, Australia never ceases to amaze me. I ❤ Australia, I have been to Sydney and I did get the chance to check out the opera house from the water and I got to go to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, however that was in 2014, hoping to travel back there in the near future.
I wish Sydney had something similar to SouthBank of Brisbane. SouthBank brings such a relaxed vibe to the city center. It would be great near the botanical gardens.
Thank you for letting us know that the taxes are very high in Australia for liquor drinks. It's quite the same situation in Malaysia. But in Malaysia, there are four islands that are duty free, those islands are Langkawi, Pangkor, Tioman and Labuan. Cigarettes, liquors are almost half the price from the mainland.
By the way, if you guys have plans to travel around Southeast Asia, do consider Malaysia, USD1 = RM4.9 on the current exchange rate, almost like during Asian Crisis in 1997. And do stay at one of the most affordable luxurious apartment with skyroof swimming pool with amazing view of KL skyline.
