Thank you HW. Absolutely love the Aussie beaches. Just as I remember them. Thank you again. Wishing you and your family a great Christmas and a fantastic New Year for 2025. Look forward to seeing what you have in store for your 2025 tours 🎉🎉

Hello, "HW Tours"! I enjoyed watching it very much! Thank you for showing us such a wonderful landscape! And thank you for the very beautiful video! I look forward to your future works! Have a nice day!

Hi HW. I've been a bit busy, so I haven't even watched the Melbourne vid yet. Have a great Christmas and New Year.

Season greetings from cold Norway. Long time watcher, first time commenter. Myself and the old man love watching your videos. No fancy edits, just HW with a camera (mostly) walking around giving his commentary. We both also agree that one of the key things that makes your videos so great, is the lack of editing/censoring. "Bad" words are left in, wrong words the same... kinda like how it works in real life conversations. This makes your videos feel more authentic. We've been to OZ six(!) times between 2000 and 2016, 3 times to Sydney. It's not exactly the cheapest way to spend your holidays, but we kinda fell in love with the country on our first visit. We've been planning a sort of "last trip" for a while, as old age sets in, but holy moly the prices of travel and accommodation have just become insane lately! Good thing we have the trusted HW to take us along old Sydney town, while we try and figure things out. 😁 Anyways, I just wanted to leave some words. Merry Christmas to you and yours, and we look forward to more videos to come in the new year. 🎄🎅

Back when I was a kid in the '70's, me and some mates would go rock hopping from the Northern end of Coogee to about halfway to Gordon's Bay. We'd catch crabs along the way, then turn around and go back to Coogee. Looking back, it was a dangerous thing to do, but as kids, we didn't really consider the consequences. At least nowadays, most kids have smartphones. I remember being able to park along that sandstone wall, back when parking was free. Anyhow, best wishes to you & the family, and looking forward to seeing your vids next year. Looks like the Chooks might struggle next year... 🐓🐓🐓 Jim.

Merry Christmas fella thanks for the great contents 👍

Nice beach ⛱️..last video of 2024 ??🤔 I heard they might cancel NYE fireworks 🎆 at Sydney Harbour??🤔 ..here in Canada 🇨🇦 it's gonna be warm Christmas (by Canadian standards) -3c for high temperature🌡 That's the beach I saw on post card when you were at Martin Place Christmas Market! Love the Norfolk Pines ..they look like our Canadian pine tree's sort of !

Hey HW...why don't you just rub it in!! LOL. Nice warm beach day! 77F is a perfect. Can't wait until we warm back up here! Thanks for a look at summer. Great walkway along the beach. You have an interesting way to describe the "punters...smashing food and booze down their gullets" ....Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! See you in 2025!

Hi HW, great video to end 2024 with the sun shining and an iconic Aussie beach scene. Thanks for all the tours for the last twelve months and looking forward to the next. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year HW to you and your family and also to all your subscribers.

Hi HW, Thank you for taking us to the beach. It was so nice to see the waves roll on to the beach, really cheered me up for Christmas. I am on my Christmas break from work and go back on January 6th, 2025, yes, the schools have broken up for the festive season. I look forward to seeing them upon return of work. The pine trees look really majestic, it will give much welcomed shade on the hotter days of summer. It is mild here, lots of brisk winds that take your umbrella off in to air! I hope you and your family, also the family dog, have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year. The snow hasn't arrived yet, as forecast, but it may happen in Scotland, as they have colder temperatures. 🎅🎄⛱️❄️🙏

Thanks for all the great walks over 2024, have a wonderful break with your family and look forward to your 2025 vids.

I literally just watched the Melbourne video and then I saw this Coogee one in my feed. Of course, my heart jumped because this is my old stamping ground, This area is in my soul. We used to call Gordon's Bay, Thompson's Bay. Thanks for all the wonderful videos this year, HW. All the best to you and your family for Christmas and the New Year.

Beautiful Coogee beach action. Thanks HW. Sydney shining brightly. Hope you and your family have a safe and peaceful festive season. Cheers…

It took me over a week to watch this one, HW. I saw it was from Melbourne, and being a dyed-in-the-wool Sydneysider, I hesitated. I didn't think I'd like it, but it was delightful. I've heard some people say that St. Kilda is the King's Cross of Melbourne. I don't know how much truth there is in that. Of course, the Cross has tamed down a lot and is no longer what it used to be, Thanks- a very interesting video. Happy Christmas and New Year to you and your family.

Ein sehr schönes Video

Hey HW! great walkabout sharing you memoirs loved it. ISP man eh! My last visit to Bourke St Mall was Nov 9 2018 the day of the terrorist attack, my partner and I were shopping there and stayed in Little Collin’s. Sisto Malaspina from Pellegrini’s, perhaps you ate there, was fatally wounded and died at the scene was tragic. Will always remember that visit and Sisto. I remember walking down Lygon too back in the day and waiters singing Italian songs out front was amazing. Thanks for the vids throughout the past year, have a great Christmas with your family mate, stay safe and all the best for 2025. 😊P

Hi HW, nice vid seeing some of your old stomping grounds. We managed to find a free shuttle bus at the airport that took us right to the door of our hotel on Flinders. Maybe that's stopped now but $40 return seems a pretty good deal. I had no idea that they start putting up the grandstands for the GP so early. I've been to three British and one Belgian Grands Prix, great atmosphere but way too expensive now.

Thank you. Really enjoyed seeing your day in Melbourne .

Well what a coincidence HW I'm watching this as we sit in a terminal of an airport as we travel and many of our days have started early too over the last 2 weeks! Melbourne looks like a beautiful spot! We'll have to watch the full vid once we finally get home. Cheers!

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this snippet of Xmas time in Sydney . Looking forward to seeing your New Years post HW . Would love to see a traditional Aussie Xmas lunch too . All the best and Merry Xmas

Great video, all those old stories

Hi HW, Thank you for a great video about Melbourne. I hope you had lots of good memories, as you walked around the city. The coffee looked good, the only question I have to ask is Sydney's coffee better than Melbourne's? The weather here is mild, cold and wet, the weather forecasters are prediticting a white Christmas. Let's hope that it snows when everyone is safely home on Christmas Eve. Hey, how is the family dog getting on, I think you call him Jet, I have such a bad memory for names? Have a good weekend and hoping you and your family are ready for Christmas in the sun. 🙏☀️🎄🎅

They can get very hot weather there, when I visited the first time in summer it was 40c one day, then about 20c the next day. I liked the botanic gardens and the laneways

The domestic and international are connected by the train under the terminals

Great vid HW. As a Sydneysider, I love Melbourne. Their nectar joints are hard to beat.

Will there be more Melbourne videos?

Here in my city in Canada 🇨🇦 they're closed a bunch of 7/11s here because of rampant theft

Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 kinda has a Canadian city feeling to it ..even the vegetation seems almost temperate..here we're expecting our coldest 🥶 night of the winter ❄️ thus far ..-33c feeling like -43c in the wind ..does Melbourne do Christmas 🎄 as good as Sydney??🤔

Hi HW.Tree looks great along with the decorations.Sydney really knows how to do christmas.Thankyou for the video.

Merry Christmas for all Australian people I am from Egypt I love Australia and Australian people very much I have applied for an Australian visa and I am very excited to visit Australia soon and get to know this beautiful, sophisticated and wonderful people. Best regards.❤❤❤

Christmas is about Jesus Christ

It’s Christmas NOT XMAS Australia Get back to your roots It’s a Christian Country people are taking Over

Yeah, it's almost time to get the old Xmas tree out of the garage, and set it up. Thanks for enduring the humidity, rain, and crowds to bring us the lighting of the tree. Wonder what old Clover wants for Xmas...some more bike lanes ? 🎅🎄 Jim.

Thank you. A beautiful Sydney Christmas.

Would not bother going to Sydney to see that how boring. Edinburgh and London for me. Emus nothing to do with my Christmas.

I live in Lithgow and didn't realise the Xmas tree was so large and colourful. I will definitely come down to Martin Place to view that tree. It's only a relaxing three hour trip by train for me. Excellent video. Cheers mate.

The main tree lights where really good, good perseverance on your part.

Yes HW, it's hard to believe Christmas is here again! Funny to see a Sicilian stall there...would not have expected that. All that food looked excellent! Nice window displays! Great tree lighting but look at all those people! Nice touch with the fireworks...I guess they shot them off from the buildings. We are heading to our local display tonight! Cheers! (PS we think that HW should be Sydney's Santa next year!)

Loved ❤️💚 the Christmas 🎄 vid as usual..nice to see Santa 🎅 and the Lord Mayor this year ..the crowd looked crazy large ..i heard the weather has been crazy hot 🥵 in Sydney..in Canada 🇨🇦 we finally got snow ❄️ and temperatures to fall to -20c tonight 🌙

Lovely to have you in St Mark's!! Rev Dr Michael Jensen Rector.

Hi HW, Thank you for a lovely Christmas video. I felt like I was there, especially the lighting of the tree. The market was looking good with all those delicious food to eat. I didn't see any mulled wine there. I liked the funky bag stall the best. It is amazing what you can make from a recycled plastic bottle. When I was younger, we had a fairy on top of the tree. It is nice to see it coming back this Christmas. Tomorrow I brave the Xmas shoppers and finally enjoy my free flat white and a much awaited slice of a dairy free chocolate cake. I am going to Sheffield Christmas Market and it is on you tube. Make sure you put 2024, Sheffield Christmas Market and enjoy. Have a good weekend. 🎄🤶🎅🙏

Great video HW. Looks like you had an enjoyable time surrounding by such festivities. Definitely looks like its worth the time and braving the rain to watch some fireworks and lights illuminate the tree. The people of Sydney must be proud and happy judging by all the mobiles recording the occasion. Cant wait for you to do NYE and Xmas in the city again next year.

Nice haul from the Crypto conference; hope the choccy's didn't melt ! I never really considered Crypto, although when people made all that money on it years ago, I was tempted. I got into Gold & Silver back in 2019. Bought some from a Bullion dealer in Hunter St. Gold was at $1,830.00 aud, and Silver at $22.20....nowadays, both are more than double that. 32:20 Was that Flat White happy to see you...or was it giving you the finger ? 😆 🔴⚪️🔵 Jim.

Beaut weather! CC not something that peaked my curiosity but interesting especially the young guns milking it and building empires before their demise. But yea it’s not all bad there are many success stories. What better way to entice that demographic by putting a McClaren on the floor. Was waiting for you to take that bull on mate lol!!! anyway thanks for the walkabout HW. P 😊

Hi HW, Love the video. It wasn't your day in the city, especially the coffee shops closed, until the cup of coffee eventually. I think you deserved a bigger cup of coffee, after the delay. I have a free cup of a flat white when I go Christmas shopping soon, saved that drink until then. I have been to work all this week in snow and ice, then the rain fell and washed it away. Love the snow, but not when it turns to ice! Love the sunshine in the video. It warms me up, thank you. Are you ready for Christmas? Have a good week 🎄🙏👍

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

Nice work as usual HW. The Greek restaurant that used to be on the corner of Rowe and Pitt was called 1821. MIM by 1821 is on Pitt (south of Rowe).

I couldn't be further away from the Southern Hemisphere summer..snow expected tonight thru Monday..temperatures to fall to -16c by Monday..cant believe its almost time for the Christmas 🎄 vid again..definitely looks like like say ..Summer has arrived! I hear its supposed to be 36 or 37c in Western suburbs 😮🥵

Hi HW, the crypto exhibition reminds me of a funfair: lots of games but no real prizes to be won. Also, it looks like the age old scam of giving average Joe the illusion that they can get rich by "just do a little mining" but the reality is the days of just leaving your pc running have long gone. I hate to think how much you'd need to fork out on gear to do that now. Anyway, so I'm typing this looking out at my garden covered in snow - not at all jealous of 28C+ temp there, lol.

Sounds of summer at the start of the video. Love it! Your interruptions at the station remind me of the airport. I need to learn more about Crypto...don't really understand it. Looks like a great summer day for you. Another great looking flat white. Enjoy the rest of your weekend HW.
