back 2 backpacking
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 6 เม.ย. 2023
We are Brigit and Ori and we love backpacking! We met while traveling in Africa back in the 1990s. Now, 30 years later, we hit the road again. Our plan is to cover 6 continents in the following year. We want to travel overland as much as possible. We don't wish to "country-count", so when staying in a country, we are going to make the most of it. We go on a budget, that means no luxury hotels or all-inclusive resorts. Everything we need is in our backpacks. We care about the environment, minimize our footprint and always prefer local services. In our videos we share our experience and hope to inspire other independent travelers.

Goodbye Sydney! Episode 37
After returning from Queensland, we decided to make the most of our second time in Sydney. We explored the CBD, Chinatown, Hyde park and the Taronga zoo. Luckily we came just in time for the "Vivid Sydney" festival and we got to see spectacular views of Sydney by night. Join us in our final episode of Australia and also the end of "round-the-world" tour.

Good stops. You picked the popular iconic places of Sydney's CBD.
Such a lovely video, and you are two very lovely people. I was born in Sydney and lived here most of my life, and your video brought back fond memories of places here I know well, but have not been to for many years.......thank you, and please come back sometime💗.
Thanks you Steve for kind words, yes we also wish to come back one day, who knows?
Bon voyage! Glad you enjoyed your time in Australia.
Thanks Sue, we already miss it...
It's a great pey !😂
Looking very relaxed as time is going on
Thank you Baker, that's an accurate observation :-)
kangaroos can fuck you up when they need to, a cassowary will actually enjoy it and go out of its way to make your day miserable.
Very interesting!
Best country on the planet :)
@@deathofcommonsense one of the top 5 for sure
What a crazy creature - the Platypus
Only in Australia...
Beautiful music and movie. Every time I want to relax, I watch one of your movie 🎥❤
Dear Sigal, this is the biggest complement, thanks!
What an AMAZING channel❤
What a SUNSET!!!!
So beautiful!
Amazing adventures!
So beautiful
Some of the best REEF filming I have seen...WELL DONE
Thanks Warwick, it is indeed a beautiful reef there!
My wife works in the old McDonnel & East building
Happy Anniversary - Love the Bagara/Bundaberg area - one of my favourite parts of Queensland
More absorbing photography! I live near brisbane; but I guess I don't look around as carefully as you two.
Thanks again Ron! Remember, the slower you travel, the more you see...
Thanks for your video. Spotting koalas is very difficult. You might have walked directly underneath one and not seen it. If it's any consolation, I've lived in Australia for 70 years and used to do a lot of bushwalking, but I have probably seen fewer than 20 wild koalas in that time. I now live in an area with a small population of koalas and in 10 years I have seen abour 4. They are here, but are very difficult to spot. Have a great trip in Australia!
Thanks Mike, it's great to hear that you did have a few koala encounters! We stretched our necks long on many of our walks in Queensland, but couldn't find any. Finally we spotted one "almost wild" in Magnetic island, the video will be uploaded soon, so stay tuned!
Him calling an ibis bird a bin chicken is absolutely feral! They are a fantastic majestic high flying bird that deserves more respect. Maybe if humans didn’t leave their trash lying around
I just love the white Ibis... Apparently in Australia they call them Bin-birds or bin-chicken...
Everyone in Australia call them bin-chickens.
thats because they are, bin chickens. need a tissue?
Thanks for some excellent photography. Thanks for taking us along! Thanks for the singing, though I couldn't hear that clearly - perhaps that's best😊
Thanks Ron, and trust me, you didn't miss out much of my singing
Very nice video 👏
Thanks, glad you like it!
@@back2backpacking you deserve it 😎
The red and blue birds you saw at Bald Hill were crimson rosellas.
Wonderful crimson color - thanks!
That tea-brown colour of the water at Huskisson Beach is from the tannins leaching out of dead gum leaves.
Thanks, good to know it is natural...
Bluebottle tentacles will inject you with a neurotoxin that's very painful for a few hours, but not usually life threatening. Box jellyfish are usually found much farther north, off the coast of Queensland.
Thanks again for the information! In Australian water - sometime the little things are the most dangerous...
And those are definitely dolphins in Callala Bay 🐬. Whales also come into the Bay during migration season, mostly humpbacks.
Well, look like we need to visit again during the whale season 🙂
@@back2backpacking You can do dolphin and whale cruises in the bay from Huskisson
Be careful touching trees and leaves in Australia. In tropical North Queensland there is a tree called the Gympie-Gympie tree, the leaves have tiny nettles that get under the skin and can't be removed, some people suffer with the pain for years.
Yep, thanks for the warning. We later found out about this "burning plant", so, it is always good to be careful.
I am pleased you filmed the climb/walk at kings canyon as I couldn’t do it, so nice to see what I missed. However I did the valley walk which was lovely. I am pleased they stopped the uluru climb, it was disrespectful to the people who hold it sacred and it also needs to be protected.
Yes, kings-canyon is not an easy climb, but the view is so much worth it...
I like you and your videos. It is very thoughtful that you have subtitles as well. This one reminds me of my day at Australia Zoo.
Thanks for kind words Jenny. It's great our videos can revive some good memories...
I climbed Uluru when I was 5, that's 43 years ago and still remember it like it was yesterday. I'm glad they've stopped the climbs though, it seems everything we touch eventually gets ruined. Enjoy your visit to Arnhem land.😊❤
Yes Julian, sometime you just have to protect these special places otherwise they'll be totally trashed...
Lovely photography of some beautiful landscapes. P.s the karaoke was very entertaining! Cheers from Ballarat
Thank you Sue, we had a really good time in Alice and around it, i guess it shows!
Ooo
I love the Jervis Bay region especially Booderee National Park . Thanks for your lovely video !
Thanks Louisa, we fell in love with this area!
Assuming it's this persons pet
It was found in the wild. Apparently these lizards are not so shy
The only country on Earth with the biggest rock in the middle of no where! Great video guys.
19:30 You seem to be deeply into weed, man ;-) :-D
Dude, just don't try smoke it🙂
No mosquitoes here buddies. Enjoy downunder!!!
Helloooooo
Hello Gill, how are you? From the mosquitos in the Amazon to the flies in Australia, going wild!
Yep, that was a fiddler ray, completely harmless.
Thanks, it looked really mean! haha...
In the late 1960's/ early 1970's Murrays Beach was earmarked to be the site of Australia's first Nuclear Power Station. That's why the carpark is so huge, that was all levelled to be part of the construction site. Fun fact, it was our conservative party that stopped the project.
woo, good thing it never came to be. It is a beautiful piece of land
Thank you.....your happiness shines through the camera
Roo's that are used to human contact prefer to have their chest's rubbed or scratched than to be patted on the head like a dog.
Thanks Brad, ill keep that in mind for my next roo encounter!
A group of kangaroos "roos" is called a Mob. Wallabies are smaller than a roo. Also Wallabies tend to be seen on their own as roos stay more in packs "mobs".
Thanks for sharing, we indeed noticed the wallabies are more solitary. Wait for our Alice Springs video, there are lots of the there!
The opera house desighn in the roof sections are like slices of oranges if you put all the roofs togeather you will end up with a circle . And all the tiles are modular sections to that can be replaced if needed. Its actually in the history of the opera house and the dutch desighner that won a competition for the desighn of sydney opera house. It is a beautiful city and Australia is the best country/ continent in the world.😊👍🇭🇲🦘👋
Thank you! An orange is not the first thing that i was thinking of, but thats the beauty of art...
Seeing your journey is very enjoyable. the city of Sydney and the beautiful birds that live freely .. very cool , greeting from England
thank you susi
Lovely to see you enjoying yourselves🙂🙂❤
enjoy our beautiful little island... have fun and take care
thank you!
Thankyou for gracing us with your visit and welcome from Yuin first nations people (NSW South coast). Hopefully the autumn chill isn't too cold and if you are blessed with sunny days Sydney is ringed by national parks with some beautiful walking trails. It's the perfect time to get into the bush for a walk, it's not too hot and the snakes have gone to bed for their long sleep until next spring. Just if you're a bit apprehensive after hearing or reading about our so called killer wildlife take it from someone who knows, it's all exaggerated hype that couldn't be further from the truth. Even in summer you have a better chance of seeing a UFO than you do if seeing a snake or venomous spider. They are more scared of us than we are of them. Snakes will be gone before you even know one was there and you will only see a spider if you go looking for one so enjoy the experience and look out for the variety of different plants and wildlife you might see, not for anything that might jump out and bite you. The only thing that might bite you will be some of the prices you have to pay, especially alcohol.
thank you, dingo for the tips... we are already further north in Queensland, but we will be returning to Sydney on our way back home. I hope to see more of NSW!
The Rocks are the sandstone buildings and brick buildings at the southern end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The stairways were carved out of the rocks. It just a few colonial era streets, that now have tourists shops, pubs and cafes.
thank you for sharing more info on the history of this city.We realy enjoyed this area!
