Thanks a lot for watching and safe journeys!
There are some comments claiming that Melbourne is larger. Sydney and Melbourne are pretty close in size, but Sydney squeaks out the win: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_Australia_by_population
Yes come down to Melbourne and Geelong gab
This is something you’ll learn about Melbournites. They’re seriously “competitive” when it comes to Sydney. 😂
Lovely city though.
Big rivalry going on between the 2 cities I've been to both Melbourne is cool and more laid back than Sydney but still a lot going on down there just a different vibe
Manly quarantine station if you have time Gabriel
Also areas in Syd and Melb that have bad reps - Liverpool in Sydney ( yeah i know! you couldn't make it up! lol ) and Footscray in Melb...both looked Ok to me and i had no hassle at all
I love that you actually take an interest in history, landmarks, nature, and you read everything on the plaques. A lot of people just look at the sights, and walk straight past information. Thankyou 😊
So true.
*I find your daily videos exciting. What's Gabe up to next? It's like going on vacation with a friend and saying, "Let's see where the road takes Us." 😃🥰*
Nobody shows you the world 🌎 in a better way than Gabriel!
Hi Gabriel, that bird in the street you saw was a Brush Turkey, because they make big nest mounds from raking all the twigs and brush around, leaving bare earth btw. Most people call them Bush Turkeys. Lots of them around the Northern Rivers Byron Bay area, maybe your next destination, you can fly into Gold Coast airport, and go from there. recommend it, having lived there for 10 years.
I live in Sydney, what you said about LA not being taken care of, I find the same about San Francisco which I've traveled to for work. Australian cities have "council rates" which is a local tax (per suburb) part of which is used to maintain parks and reserves. As a sailing channel put it Australian cities have beautifully manicured parks and you will find that pretty much every Australian city you travel to.
A nipper in Oz is usually referring to A small child. So in regards to the beach, nippers are small children usually learning to swim in a group setting. The surf life saving clubs usually have nipper classes happening ❤
Yes, nipper is slang for a young child where I'm from in the UK too.
nipper, ankle biter, little tacker, young tacker, crotchspawns, young fella etc these are all terms used to describe small children
Not only learning to swim but nippers is usually the start to a surf life savers career - nippers learn all about the ocean & eventually how to rescue people
@@aussiebird This is the correct answer, Little Nippers is the 'Surf Live Savers' cadets
No it’s not
It’s junior surf lifesaving, it’s not learning to swim
They compete against other beaches, learn water safety, learn how to save people in the surf etc
It gets very competitive
My wife and I love Sydney. It is so beautiful and the Aussies are so nice. It is worth the almost 15-hour flight from Los Angeles.
Wow I got a mention on Gabriel’s video 😊 I don’t know if you remember Gabriel, it was me who mentioned about that statue being King Edward VII 😊
Yep, I remember. ✌
Australia, my favorite country for travelling! Thank you Gabriel !
It's so cool having Gabriel in Australia
Love your videos. I just got back from 3 weeks in Australia. Did a lot Sydney, Brisbane, Cairns. All really nice places. But by far the best bit of my trip was NT. Uluru, Darwin Kakadu. The top end of Australia has a very different feel it. I highly recommend it. If you get the chance visit the top end. Oh and Sri Lanka is amazing I was there last year at the worst time protest on the streets! But still I had the most amazing time! Sri Lanka’s are so welcoming and friendly even when there country is in a bad way! Go to Sri Lanka you will love it. Keep the videos coming. Thank
sydney is an incredible place to explore, i lived there for 10 years and nearly every weekend we would go somewhere new and have an amazing time with a mix of city life and nature...
It does seem to be clean, have a nice urban scape and lots of outdoor activities. I've never been to Australia but maybe some day. I've heard lots of great things about Melbourne too.
Hey Gabriel ! Nippers is actually an Australian institution . its where us often unwilling parents have to take our kids to the beach on a Sunday morning so they can do water based activities , like swim training , races on the sand and other competitive games. This activity is always followed by a 'sausage sizzle' ( you can buy a cheap hotdog or bacon sandwitch. ) Enjoy Australia !!!!! Hot tip for you , head south on the train towards wollongong (only 1 hour). hop of at austinmer / thirroul . fantastic beaches , great places to eat . its a lovely quiet area with stunning walks in the escarpment , secret bush waterfalls with swimming holes ect ... go explore . i lived there for 8 years , youll love it .
I loved that guy’s rendering of Ring of Fire. So cute how he grinned at you. Some deep associations with Johnny Cash - my mother died listening to his music. Very touching to hear it.
I honestly didn’t find those prices crazy high for a metropolitan area. Even around Detroit a lot of places charge similar prices.
Thanks for another wonderful video!
I love this city! I hate long flights but I have to figure it out and see it! Thank you, Gabriel, as always for your amazing videos!
Awwwe Sydney is the most stunning city I’ve ever been to. I stayed in the Rocks area. Beautiful to stroll around during the day too
Gabriel: Tip for you. The great barrier reef is the worlds largest 'Offshore reef' but the worlds largest 'Onshore reef' lies in Australia also and not many people know about it. Its called the Ningaloo reef in Western Australia. Totally unique and not flooded with tourists and plenty of other things to see and do. 😉
Don't tell him that. Ningaloo Reef needs to be left alone
Really impressed with Sydney. Developed, chill, and beautiful.
Just a avoid western Sydney it's like a bogan or islamic dump
Hi Gabe, if you are obsessed with Asian food , catch a train to Burwood, only 10 mins train ride from Central Station. Burwood is an Asian food hub in Sydney too many choices, go there at night, so vibrant and busy, it seems like you are in Asia. Or you can go to night food market every Friday night in Chinatown in downtown, you can have many varieties of authentic Asian street food.
So glad you feel this way about our Sydney, Gabe. We have travelled to many city’s in the world but we would only ever live in Sydney. We live in the Sutherland Shire which is the southern most reach of the Sydney metropolitan region with the Cronulla beaches, the Royal National Park (the second oldest National Park in the world after Yellowstone) and many beautiful waterways. It’s a 30-40min train ride and depending on traffic, a 40min-1hr drive to the city. Worth a visit if you have the time.
Most of the main cities and towns are along the coast of Australia so you will never be to far from amazing beaches. Don't forget to check out the Blue Mountains.
Hi Gabriel, that was quite a day now you're going around the town finding what to explore. What I find out about Australia is it has an Island feel but its land mass makes a continent Sydney has a California feel to it very wealthy in certain areas like Manhattan Beach or Palos Verdes Peninsula regularly active people do outdoor activities everything you would see in California. The country's landscape is incredibly unique outback I don't even think there are many places in the world that can compare. You're giving us a unique perspective on what's it like being there in person.
You document places so well, so insightful and offer a great perspective! Keep it up Gabriel.
From Goa to Hampi to Bangalore to bangkok to Sydney....what a difference in everything....thank you for taking us along 🙏👍
Gabriel great to have you in Australia, After hearing you're from a small town California I highly recommend you travel outside Sydney to a region called the "southern highlands",The towns of Bowral, Mittagong are just wonderful and are also surrounded by wineries, only a short train ride from central station in Sydney around 1hr 30 mins but it's another world in terms of vibe and scenery. a must visit
Yes he should 100% go down there
Sydney is ok for a couple of days or new year but I think people don't realise that above and below Sydney is where it's at imo. Newcastle, Wollongong, Byron, Hunter, so much more with less traffic and better value.
Way to go Gabe ! Loving Australia 🫶🏻
Bangladesh vlog: Old Dhaka and slums
Australia vlog. : Modern streets and 0 slums
Mind you there are poorer areas in Sydney too.
Sydney is breathtaking with a variety of wildlife throughout the city, if I were a rich man this city would definitely be my first choice. The Sydney Harbor Bridge is absolutely gorgeous.
Oh Gabriel. Wait until you see Melbourne before settling in Sydney. Loving that you are finally here!
Hey Gabriel, I went to the Johnny Cash Museum in Nashville in December, and that pub scene brought back good memories. Safe travels. 🇦🇺
Do yourself a favour go to the Blue Mountains you will love it you can get a train from Central Station it takes about one and a half hours , there is a hostel there , im enjoying your travels ,
This was such an enjoyable video I remember some of the places when I was visiting Sydney
man all the exotic animals in the streets of Sydney 🤯 Australia is really something else
G'day Gabe, great footage, so glad your enjoying Australia. We are a chilled relaxed nation, you have picked up on those vibes. Looking forward to your next clip and where your are heading. On ya mate.
It's great seeing you happy with being there in Sydney. I've also heard New Zealand is a very expansive and beautiful place over all
Sydney is amazing 👏 😍 💖
Have you heard of the Blue Mountains and the Three Sisters yet? 2 hours right from downtown Sydney and it's a popular attraction where it's like a canyon and you have cable cars, incline railways, and hiking tracks all around with waterfalls and all sorts of scenery.
A lot of nature not just within the city but right outside on the periphery all around.
Sounds cool
And you can get there using public transport (train) as well. About 2 hours from Central Station to Katoomba but well worth the trip.
Don't forget the Burragorang and Grose Valleys and Kanangra Walls.
Hey Gabriel, so happy your visiting Australia! I live in Brisbane. I recently did a road trip down to Sydney and up to North Queensland. If you dont have a car and limmited time i would reccomend taking a flight to the Gold Coast. Visit Byron Bay and the Sunshine Coast beautiful rainforests, beaches nature and friendly culture. I reccomend seeing the Great Barrier Reef in winter (june july) less dangerous jelly fish and better weather. Its raining nonstop their at the moment. 🙂
Hi Gabriel, I really enjoy watching your videos. Because they are almost daily, I feel like I am traveling with you. Thanks for traveling and making these videos.
wow its sooo clean like Switzerland there
Video very timely for me. I leave in few days to travel to Australia from Bangkok. One week in Melbourne, then Sydney for 10-night cruise to New Zealand. Cruise now has studio cabins, much cheaper then booking air, hotel, food etc if I did my own thing. I’m not into big cruise ships, but this makes sense. Then back to Sydney for one week. On your country count, how would you count St Martin, which is half Dutch and half French. 1 country or 2? What about Martinique and Guadalupe? Both same country, but two different islands? Need to see how I match up with your count.
by the way mate , you should have a swim because the sea temp is nice this time of year as the water has had plenty of time to warm up over the long summer - much chillier in spring
NASA Earth Observatory has a very informative page on the East Australian Current.
Agree. Best city I have been to so far.
You should check out Darling Harbor as well. It's on the western side of the CBD.
Gabriel Traveler I did enjoyed watching this episode! 38:28, hope your subs reaches 583K 😁. May God bless you, your family and all Gabriel Traveler fans 🤗🤗
🎉 Australia! The wildlife is going to be crazy! Loving this world tour, you're on....stay healthy and safe!
I’m glad you’re enjoying your time here Gabriel. 👍🏻
Wow, surprise after surprise in a good way. This scene with college and church (with roads nearby) really reminded me on Oxford, England and its architecture which I love very much as an European (it was my favourite stop there when I travelled to 7 English towns/cities) and a Harry Potter fan. After that, dining in the evening downtown really reminds on North America (maybe Vancouver as someone here suggested, as a vibe not as scenery). Beaches could as well be somewhere in Portugal. So, this mix England+Canada+Portugal really seems amazing for me, with all the cleanliness of Switzerland. I am looking forward to see your next videos.
Sydney is a beautiful, clean and green city! Not cheap though..
Thank you Gabe😊
Unfortunately the weather was overcast this week in Sydney. But that’s the thing about weather, it’s unpredictable 😂 Sydney looks ten times more amazing with its usual blue sky and sunny day, but well at least it is cooling.
The weather is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.
Where are the parks, wildlife, wineyards in sydney?
@@Gerald-iz7mv You can find most wildlife in parks, and there are 400 city parks in Sydney alone. My favourite is Bicentennial, Centennial and Sydney Park. But the best places to enjoy wildlife is in national parks surrounding the city, these are huge wild nature reserve, easy access by public transport like train. My favourite is Blue Mountain, Royal National Park, Ku-ring-gai and Bouddi. There are 200 registered national parks in Sydney alone. As for wineries, the famous one is Hunter Valley but then there are so many of them too around Mudgee, Orange, and the Southern Highlands.
@@k.vn.k looks like an amazing city!
Sydney is always raining or grey in recent years. Gets more rainfall than London now
Love the series. We spent 2 weeks in Australia 1981 and stayed with a friend Charlie.
yes us Australians LOVE the outdoors!
Your Opal card can be used on the ferries, trains, trams and buses Gabriel.
Great tour. I love checking out the old churches and exploring neighborhoods. I'd love to live down there for a few years and have December be my summer for a change
The turkey is a brush turkey (also called bush turkey)
I'd love to show you some more of the interior next visit if you get time! Stargazing, beaches all to yourself, food that costs less than $15... Good times 👍
The Harbour Bridge looks so more impressive in person and great views from walking across it.
Nippers is junior lifesaving club. Children can learn all the aspects of water skill, safety and sport here.
Welcome to Australia Gabriel. If you get the chance come visit Tasmania
Los Angeles getting demolished by Gabriel haha. But a nice video as always, very nice surroundings, cool pub and also nice that the oldest pub had live music from the 1920's.hmmm Enjoy your stay there man..
There seem to be several places claiming to be the oldest but who cares - they all have character.
Head over to Newtown. Lots of restuarants and pubs. Good vibe. Day trips to the Blue mountains & South coast are also good.
the black bird is called a bush turkey very common around neighbourhoods and bushy areas!
Hi, yes I know everyone calls them that. If you see my comment, the species name is Brush Turkey because they make their nest from brush. have you seen a nest mound?
Another suggestion is a train front Central to Katoomba and checkout the blue mountains.Its approximately a 2 hour trip and it will give you a taste of the Australian bush.
Nipper's are junior surf life savers. They are taught how to deal with emergency beach events from the start.
I recommend Darling harbour and Barangaroo for eatery and entertainment also. Sydney is spread out; would suggest you visit suburbs (cities of their own): Chatswood, take a ferry to Parramatta, rent a hike and bike around Sydney Olympic park(or can be walked but it may take you a while), visit the Windsor markers, etc…
Thanks for mentioning laundry. I’m searching for hotels in Japan right now and I’m looking for ones that have diy laundry machines. Overlooked item people forget about. Ironically cheaper hotels tend to have them more often. Especially helpful if you are out sweating all day and are traveling light. Just reviewed all of your Japan videos. Thanks for your content!!
That nightlife area towards the end of the video looks more familiar like your European nightlife adventures…great live music WOW ❤
Sydney and Los Angeles are almost at the exact same latitude ie 34 degrees from the equator. Probably similar temperatures due to this. Also same length of days around the year just flipped around.
many of Sydneys old buildings are made of Sandstone like the building at 27:10. Sandstone is them most abundant natural materials found all over the Sydney basin. Also 32:43 ...there is a small restaurant hidden in the pillars of the Harbour bridge...its over priced as hell but worth having a look. The other pillars are used for air vents for the Sydney harbour tunnel ( undersea vehicle tunnel)
You might be interested to know that the stone for the pylons of the SHB were quarried out of Moruya on the far south coast.
Thanks for the ride Gabe Enjoying the music Live and Canned
Nippers are surf lifesaving for children. They learn all about beach safety and rescuing people
I actually love Sydney on rainy days. Feeling and smell is really nice.
Yeahhh Sydneyyy
Wish I could have met you man. I've been for a few days myself. Would have been dope. Glad you're enjoying your time
Hi Gabriel! My tip for enjoying your fish and chips - get them take away, wrapped in paper and take them to the beach. That's what we do for the best value and atmosphere! I'd also encourage you to use the Pitjantjatjara name for "Ayres Rock" - Uluru. ✌️
Many places are reverting to their aboriginal names these days, instead of whatever white settlers dropped on them. Same thing here in Canada. I noticed both countries had native residential schools - a bad idea, trying to suppress an original culture instead of trying to add something useful.
@@brianfraser2495 It sounds like there are a lot of similarities between the treatment of First Nations people here and in Canada. Shame! And the ongoing effects are devastating. I think Aboriginal people in both countries show incredible strength and resilience in resisting colonisation and preserving culture.
Gabriel. I cannot see other references in comments to this but the section of the Royal Botanic Gardens where you saw the memorial stones is known as the Stranded Stones of Sydney. As indicated they are date stones from some of Sydney's former historic buildings. I believe some are later additions of artistic work. You were actually standing above the City end of the Harbour Tunnel, a 1992 addition that carries vehicles to the North Sydney side of the Harbour. A trip to North Sydney is recommended, in particular the beautiful and historic NS Oval and nearby pubs.
Most tourists head for the iconic Manly Ferry but the wharves at Circular Quay have ferries that travel all over the Harbour and also to the city of Parramatta.. A trip to Watsons Bay with a walk to the South Head and the Gap followed by lunch at nearby seafood restaurant or take away fish and chips is recommended. I see you also took train to Katoomba / Blue Mountains and an equally rewarding trip can he had by train to the city of Wollongong and township of Kiama. Absolutely beautiful unique rail trip with coastal scenery.
An hour long rail trip north to Gosford also gives beautiful water views along with some remarkable engineering feats.
I was lucky to grow up in Manly. Sydney is beautiful. Melbourne is also a great city. Have a great trip and enjoy.
I have been there too. Took the same ferry, what a great thing to seer it again and relive my time there.
Thank you for positive vibes about Manly. I was lucky enough to grow up there, living just one block from the beach, thanks to my hard-working parents.
The Aussies really know how to enjoy life as you will soon discover .keep up the great videos
Hi Gabriel, a nipper is a child that is learning to become a lifesaver. They learn swimming, surfing, and beach safety. It's a lot of fun for kids to be nippers during weekends.
Hi Gabrielle, Australia’s capital, Canberra, has long held a reputation for being a boring city. But as a Canberran, there’s so many things that make this capital unique. Parliament house, the Australian war memorial, and the national museum of Australia are really interesting. Unlike the hustle and bustle of Sydney, canberra isn’t dense, and is often referred to as ‘the bush capital’ for its sparse layout of urban living among nature. It’s about a 3 hour drive from Sydney, definitely worth a visit. 👍
No I grew up in Canberra it was the best ok your totally wrong
Sidney looks such an incredible city
So does Sydney
Thank you for the great video, Sydney seems a great place to live, so clean and beautiful. Enjoy!
Wow, welcome to Australia🤩 Australia is one of the best countries in the world, I can say that Sydney is higher than many American cities. Sydney is a very peaceful city, it is like a paradise here😘
Yes and no. Sydney is a very spread out city with some very poor and tough outer suburbs. The best part of Australia is out of the big cities for affordable living and less crime.
Awesome vid. Been to manly many times and didn't even know about the wormhole, learn something new every day
Really enjoying your soundtracks along with the visuals. Great work.
Awesome Music!!!
Nippers is a junior surf life saving development program for 5-14 year olds.
My great Aunty was a nun in the adjoining convent at St Patrick’s seminary. Great views and beautiful building and grounds.
Mellow and chilled describes most Aussies 😊
Very very good always 🎉🎉
If you are here for a little while, it's probably worth getting an Opal card- just top it up with funds as you go. Then you can use the trains, busses, feries and trams. Also, you missed the weather. This past weekend was so sunny and warm. It's been pretty overcast and cooler this week.
wait till you see the Blue Mountains, Grand Canyon, and if you have time Jenolan Caves. You'll love the little villages in the Blue Mountains.
Come down to Melbourne, we've won the most liveable city in the world a few times in a row. Although the weather is a bit random down here. You should also visit Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Cairns.
Too many communist bootlickers. But it is a beautiful city and with GOR and Mornington close by
Glad you're enjoying Sydney!
Welcome🎉! 86th🎇Really enjoying your Sydney experiences upon our beautiful continent - Australia🤙🌅Great mix of history, art, culture, exploring, lifestyle, people watching and nature👌 Right on 😎
New Zealand is quite further down, not across from Sydney. You were looking at a flattened globe image, the top of New Zealand is inline with Melbourne and Tasmania.
Ps… “Eucharistic”is a word referring to with Holy Communion.
