    People often think Sydney is just a big city but it’s so much more than that! I had American visitors last week and we explored national parks with hidden waterfalls and swimming holes, secluded beaches, ocean pools, rockpools, the actual “city” is only a tiny tiny fraction of what constitutes “Sydney”! There’s so much to do here.

    I am actually a New Zealander, but I lived and brought my kids up in Sydney. Their favourite day out on the holidays was the Museum run. Train to the city, lunch in Hyde Park, (you missed that) and then a look at the museum from top to bottom. Next a walk to the Domain and along to the Botanic Gardens via the Art Gallery. Down through the Botanic Gardens along the water front to the Opera House. Along Circular Quay to the Railway Station and home.

    As a proud Aussie, Sydney has spectacular scenery, when I was a kid we moved to Sydney from the Country. I now live in the outer Western suburbs,but a day in the City is always different. We Ferry hop from place to place. Going through the Heads on a Cruise ship is fantastic.

    Sydney is surrounded by national parks, including the second oldest national park in the world, the Royal National Park at its southern edge. Only Yellowstone is older. The Blue Mountains National Park is to the west, it’s been described as the Grand Canyon with trees, it’s well worth going to see.

    That “property” at 3.03 you asked how much it cost is called Iceberg, a club at Bondi. A very nice place to sit and have lunch and a few beverages on a Sunday. It’s been there for just over 100 years and the pool is used if you don’t want to be going into the waves.

    Fun Fact- Manly was named by Govenor Arthur Phillip- the first Govenor of Sydney, the one who sailed in with the first convicts on the first fleet and set up the penal colony of Sydney. He was also the person who selected Sydney harbour as the perfect location for Sydney ( the original location selected- Botany Bay had no fresh drinking water). Govenor Phillip named Manly Cove - after he was impressed with the manliness and confidence of the aboriginies that he encountered there. He went with a party of guards to explore areas for settlements- he saw a group of aboriginals feasting on a whale on Manly Beach. Govenor Arthur Phillip was speared in the shoulder by one of the aboriginies. And ordered his men not to retaliate.

    • @mehere8038
      @mehere8038 Год назад

      and yet a few years later, small pox somehow appeared in Manly & wiped out 90% of the Aboriginals in that area. There's no way that was possible without high level approval, given it's distance from the main colony! Obviously Phillip or someone in his inner circle authorised a boat sailing over there with the smallpox scabs from the surgeon's supplies & leaving them there in blankets or similar, so as to infect those "Manly" warriors, who were otherwise going to successfully drive the whites out. Same thing they did in the US, but at least the US is willing to acknowledge the truth about it's history

      No it doesn't have an opera house, but it does have the Performing Arts Centre. It's not as pretty as the Opera House but after a recent expansion, it's the largest theatrical centre in Australia. Brisbane is also the only city which has a central cultural precinct which includes the state library, Queensland Museum, Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Arts (GOMA) and the Southbank Parklands. Unlike Sydney, where everything is "only a few blocks away" or a "short ferry ride away", they are all together.

    I grew up in Sydney and still have family there. I loved Sydney but it was getting too crowded for me and I longed for the bush so moved out to the farm. I always loved visiting family and seeing my old haunts around Sydney but farm life suited me. I have now retired to a beachside city four hours north of Brisbane where the weather is perfect all year. We don’t have extreme changes but a comfortable temperature all year round. Suits me perfectly. We have around 70,000 people here so plenty of good shopping, restaurants and entertainment. It’s pure paradise and I never want to leave. 😊

    When I was in the work force, I used to catch a ferry to work. I also worked at Circular Quay which was a five minute walk from the Ferry. It was the BEST most RELAXING form of transport to work. I was lucky to live a five minute walk from home to the ferry wharf.

      As do so many people who live in our part of Sydney, we lived for a while in a suburb right on the northern shores of the Harbour. About 5 minutes through a pleasant bushland pathway to the wharf. The ferry ride home was always very relaxing - and you really felt that you'd left work by the time you got home.

    Ryan, you need to realise that videos like this show a very small part of Sydney. Think of the city and metropolitan area as covering a semi-circle centred on the harbour and extending east to the coast/Bondi but also 50 km or so north, south and west. Of course, there is nothing similar to the Opera House in this much larger area, but beaches, bays and inlets, hills and valleys, and a range of other sights.

    There's so much more to Sydney than The Rocks, Manly, and Bondi!

    I have lived in Sydney most of my life. This video is quite a few years old. The population is now 5.5 million and there is considerable housing stress. It's now the most expensive city in the world after Hong Kong to live. But nothing takes away from its natural beauty, just be aware that food prices at restaurants in the tourist areas can be eye wateringly expensive. However wages are much higher than say Canada or the USA to compensate. Public transport is new, clean, comprehensive and cheap. And make sure you have a debit or credit card with a microchip or you have Apple Pay etc, because cash is not accepted much any more, even for a taxi, Uber or a coffee or an ice cream. And remember, because of this, there is no tipping. Wait staff in restaurants etc are some of the highest paid in the hospitality industry earning well over $35ph.

    OK as an opera house employee, you kinda need a ticket to get around the house - it's a working building and a heritage building so to see inside you need to take a guided tour. Book super well in advance - these things sell out months in advance in the summer! You can walk around the outside for free though :)

    You can climb both the towers of the bridge and the bridge itself. Guided tours with suit and cable attachment.
    Revolving restaurant in the Sydney tower. The sandstone cliff walk from Bondi to Coogee beach, is spectacular. Same with walk at southern end of Manly Beach.
    Opera House was designed by a Danish architect - Mr Utzon.
    I think the NSW lottery was formed, to help pay for it ??
    National Parks on either sides of Sydney - Blue Mountains spectacular

    If you ever come to Sydney. Stay at the 'Harbour View Hotel'.
    It's on the North side of the bridge and ALL the rooms have a view of the harbour. You can walk to Luna Park and the Ferry Terminal. There's a train station under the Hotel, (A Subway Station), that can take you anywhere on the _North Line_
    Did I mention it's cheap. With buffet breakfast and free car park deals all the time.
