We are moving to Sydney from the UK we can’t wait! I have herd such amazing things about Australia. We can’t wait to start our lives living in a great country!
I love Sydney. The parks, ferry rides from Manly, museums, great transportation. And this was in the 70's. I used to drive or catch a bus from Avalon and the ride was good. I miss the double decker busses. In town the trams and trains would take you where you wanted to go. The one thing Australia had down was transportation, it was exceptional. It did get cold in the winter and most homes did not have central heating. I like woodstoves myself but it does get cold. I swam in the winter months because I was used to San Francisco beaches and the water is so invigorating. My mom is an Aussie and I am so glad she went back when I was in my late teens. Australia is really a magical place.
Ahhh I loved reading your little story here - so interesting and fun too! 😊 What a wonderful variety of living experiences you've had - that's what makes living so vibrant! 😍 The 70s would have been fascinating and a time when tech wasn't so in our faces (literally! haha). Good to hear Aus has good transport - I know we tend to complain a lot about it here HA, but perspective from living in different countries brings beautiful appreciation. Thank you for watching and for leaving a great comment! 🙏😊
The best reason for Sydney's (and NSW's) existence is to make it difficult for Victorians to breed with Queenslanders. Seriously though, Australia's East Coast is lucky to have both Melbourne and Sydney, both world class cities each with it's own characteristics and within a day's drive of each other, with great countryside in between.
Haha! 😅 You're right! We have wonderful cities, with a lot to appreciate about them and the whole land 😊 I remember visiting the Ned Kelly Museum and town shops on my drive from Melbourne to Sydney - undiscovered little places with friendly people to meet. Thank you for your comment! Have a great week 🙂
Have to disagree with you here Gemma, I love the four seasons Sydney has. In fact, I think that Autumn and Spring are Sydney's best kept secrets as it is not too warm and not too cold for three months on end and I look forward to them each year. The water is still warm and clear, as opposed to Summer and Winter - whence the water's temp and clarity changes considerably. I loved the honest and correctness of your assessment of Sydney on every other point, however. So refreshing to get that perspective - and not just focus on the beaches. I would have cared to see more footage on the coastal or bush walks nearby, but I understand you can't pack it all in. Thank you for your efforts in helping attract and help build tourism to our wonderful city after such a devastating time during COVID. Now that the borders are open again, hopefully your well timed video will bring people back in droves.
Thank you for your comment - really great to get all perspectives on Sydney 😊 I love how you see the video's benefit to attracting people back to Sydney again! Hopefully we see more openings soon - there's a lot on offer. Have a wonderful week! 🙂
Indeed! There are so many suburbs to walk through and chat about - might take me a few videos to even scratch the surface haha! Thanks for your comment 😀
Thank you Bruno for watching! :) Yes, there are some less than ideal aspects to Sydney (like living costs! haha), there is a lot to appreciate too. Hope you have a fantastic week! :)
Commenters, if Sydney isn’t your thing, don’t bag it, we are big country, move around there’s bound to be somewhere you like. Be adventurous, some of the smaller beachside towns or inland country towns are absolute gems.
You should have looked beyond the very limited area you mention. I've lived in Sydney all my life and am glad that I've never lived in Darlinghurst, Newtown or Bondi.
There are so many wonderful areas to explore! I will have to line up future adventures to many more suburbs, and discover some small businesses and markets in NSW and beyond! 😃 Thank you for watching DoubleDee - much appreciated 😊
@@AussieGem Enjoy your journeys. Get yourself an Opal card and hop on a train. Just check first what's at the station you propose going to. For example ours, a small suburb, has no shops, cafés or restaurants - its how those here like it and there are lots of facilities in nearby suburbs. You'll discover a much wider community than that you've described.
I live in Perth now.. Honestly it's Sooo much nicer than Sydney. Sydney CBD area has more options and is bigger than Perth but when it comes to metro area living, Perth beats Sydney hands down. Freeways and roads are designed better, the layout of suburbs, cleaner etc... And the beaches... Sydney beaches pale in comparison
Oooh that sounds amazing! I'm looking forward to visiting Perth one day! There's definitely something to be said for a well-designed layout of a city too. HA! cheers for commenting 😊
I am originally from Perth and currently living in Sydney for the 4 and a half years. The people have no manners and can be arrogant. It’s expensive especially by car, the public transport is confusing. I would rather be back home in Perth - cleaner, less hustle and bustle, more decent coffee houses. Miss Mauds is only located in Perth and it’s the Swedish food better than ikea by far!
@@susanjw7763 Yes Sydney always gets bagged by people from every other Australian city, but there is a reason why Sydney real estate is so expensive and that is because so many people want to live here, so can't be too bad.
Yes 👍 Moving to Australia 🇦🇺. Is the best country Sydney wow. Mwah 😘 From Las Vegas Nevada United States 🇺🇸. Someday I’m going to move there at Australia. Australia is better than United States 🇺🇸.
Ahhh thank you for your comment 😊👍 Las Vegas! Ooh I'd love to visit there, and also see the mountain ranges in the skyline 😍 Do come over to Aus, check it out - the coast lines are everywhere! haha 👍😉
Thanks for watching Peter! Oooh I'm keen to visit the Blue Mountains again - the cool breezes in the shade of trees with fresh air is wonderful! 😊 Hope you're having a great weekend!
Would be so fun if we got snow in Sydney! Then there'd be some real seasonal change :) But it looks like it happened in 1836 though! Here's a fun ABC article on it too :) www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-11/the-day-it-snowed-in-sydney/9743600
@@AussieGem I would be down with snow, but if it actually snowed in Sydney, we would think that the end of the world was upon us😅 Last winter it did snow quite a lot in Katoomba & Lithgow, & that's not too far out of Sydney. Cheers, I'll check it out ✌😉
@@danrgn5078 Yesterday was magic..a bit overcast today. We are still in the grips of La Nina. We are expected to have extended rainy days on & off over the next month or so, then hopefully the system will move away. When it's not raining, the days are perfect, not too hot. Where are you?
@@davidjohnpaul333 I’m still in Europe. I was meant to move to Sydney last Feb but the weather kinda put me off so I’m still holding off until the skies clear up at least…
the lack of eye contact is a thing in Sydney and Melbourne, some of it has to do with avoiding ppl beggng for money, but mostly its unfriendlness. I find Melbourne much worse for this
How interesting! I wondered how other cities were doing! When I was in Oslo, Norway, many ppl didn't use eye contact, but I was informed it was due to politeness (not wanting to intrude on someone's privacy/seem rude), however in Sydney I can't quite understand the avoidance. Maybe ppl prefer the look of a phone screen than someone's face. haha yikes.
When will people discover that Sydney surrounding suburbs extend for miles and miles, and each has its own unique features and often great beauty. Places like Newtown and Chippendale are very, very INNER suburbs. There is so much more to Sydney than 5 Ks from the CBD.
Mostly accurate, but your perspective seemed to be very inner city centric. The weather in Sydney is taken from Observatory Hill which is very mild. Out in the suburbs where most live it can get down to near 0c at night in winter and 45c in summer so there very much are seasons. Many also live with poor public transport (the northern beaches) and few parks. Sydney has also become very over developed with apartment buildings giving it the look and feel of anywhere but Australia. Roads that used to be 3 lanes in each direction for their entire length are now funneled into 1 lane while the population has doubled. Lovely old homes get torn down and people shake as tunnels are built under their homes. 2 million dollars is becoming a common purchase price for many homes. Melbourne hasn't been ruined to the same degree.
Melbourne has so many amazing spots to visit and enjoy - I love how the creative arts scene is flourishing! The docklands were fun to rollerblade around too :)

One of the gems of Sydney is if your lucky enough to catch a ferry to work. It's a little cruise every day.
Ah great observation! Yes, that is a beautiful way to get a view in 🥰
We are moving to Sydney from the UK we can’t wait! I have herd such amazing things about Australia. We can’t wait to start our lives living in a great country!

Thank you Malik for watching! Glad you enjoyed! 🙏😍
Hello dear friend beautiful girl 💓🤗
New SUBSCRIBER HERE
Lol ... Sydney is too expensive for the average person...you either need a really good job or to be wealthy
Homelessness is a real and growing problem, as is Ice and Heroin addiction, and the crime that goes with it
Not anymore. It used to be 30 yrs ago
I have never ever seen someone carrying a gun. No one I know owns a gun..except a few farmers who have shot guns. Still haven’t ever seen them.
Ahh I can relate, me too Amanda! It would be quite a shock to see here 😅 Thank you for watching and for your comment 🙏😍
No Adelaide heaps better less people great beaches cheaper rent and great wineries
All those points sound amazing! Great to hear rent is not completely crazy there! HA! Hope you're well, and thank you for watching 😊
You are beautiful ❤️
Thank you, that is very kind. 🙏 I appreciate you watching my video! Have a wonderful week 😊
Yeah the big cities are ok I’d rather be out in the bush
🙂 The bush has so many offerings - space, the smell of trees and earth, quiet time, and also people are very real usually. Thank you for commenting!
Don't it's a slum
Move nth
Melbourne is a much better place to live that Sydney.
Melbourne has so many amazing spots to visit and enjoy - I love how the creative arts scene is flourishing! The docklands were fun to rollerblade around too :)
Flat and boring with a dirty little river
Perth is better....
I hear great things about Perth! 😀👍 Looking forward to visiting!
the ONLY reason Sydney is great is because I live here
Ha - awesome! Well, you take yourself with you, so that's good to hear! 👍😉
@@AussieGem :) When I move house prices will plummet :)
Brissie's better!
Never go near the place its horrible
Sydney is a really violent city, I would never go back. Sydney is cold and grey and miserable in winter. It is far from tropical.
Sydney would be the worst Australian capital city to live in. It's bloody terrible.
