Budget travel in Sydney Australia?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 бер 2022
- It's no surprise that we've been on a bit of a budget lately. With our $2,000+ campervan mistake behind us, we really have to make up for our budget while traveling in Sydney, Australia (which apparently is the second most unaffordable city to live in--who knew?!) We share a little bit of our thrifty tips and how we travel cheaply while here (thanks to a lot of recommendations from many of you!!) Luckily, Sydney has a lot of free and affordable things to see and do!!

Stumbled across your video and learned a few things about my own city. So great to have tourists back although the rain this month has been the worst on record; Sydney is known for its crystal blue skies, moderate temperatures- so you’ll have to return to see it this way.
Love your presentation style and how friendly you both seem. Subscribing to see more content!
Hey Glenn! Thanks for watching! Australia has always been a bucket list place for us to visit, we were so glad to see Sydney, rain, sunshine, and all :) thank you or watching and subscribing!!
When I was in Sydney, I stayed in China Town & got the Opal card for the public transportation. The food was way cheaper in China town. The public transportation is outstanding. We took the trains and light rail but it was the ferries we loved most. We walked as much as possible but we had to see Watson Bay (ferry). Just wow! Don’t laugh at me but we also used Groupon to get discounts on food & other activities 😊
Food prices... I have tried to verify many claims that prices for food can be lower in some places or e.g. at fruit and veg markets... In reality - not. It's pretty much similar except when items are on sale. The high minimum wage means that there's no way around this. Public transport - don't know the deals in Sydney - in Queensland it's more expensive than transport by car (1 person) so I call that expensive.
a common misconception is that sydney has good public transport when it really doesnt. compare sydneys public transport to most cities of a similair size in europe, asia, and australia and its pretty shit. As a tourist staying in the city it will get the job done, however anywhere out of the CBD and the public transport is extremely lacking. Its Unreliable, underserviced, slow and honestly not that cheap.
Public transport in Sydney is awful I know I live here.
@@pxlllow Well it is good if you compare it to actually driving a car around. By the time you pay tolls on the roads to get into the city from out west you are way behind compared to catching a train. Price of fuel added and then finding anywhere to park free - good luck with all that.
@@pxlllow Sydney Public transport is good compared to the rest of Australia having the country's biggest bus, ferry and heavy rail networks, Sydney trains has good coverage plus you don't have to travel all the way into the city just to travel somewhere else like you do in Melbourne.
As a Sydneysider, it made me chuckle when he said "public transport is amazing here"
same. its awful XD
Public transport here is horrible and expensive
Sydneysiders will be able to travel on public transport for free for 12 days in April
You won't pay a cent to board buses, trains, light rail or ferries for almost two weeks
they wouldn't be saying that if they had a job and was late to work every week cos a little bit of rain made every train late. LMAO
Well... I'd say it depends on what you're comparing it to. Some cities in the U.S. are probably way worse for public transport.
As a sydney sider you guys are amazing. Thank you for helping so many people thinking of coming here. Sydney is a place of utter contradictions. Stupidly expensive one day. Grossly reasonable the next. As you have found out much of the beauty is free ( which many countries cannot say the same ) You are lovely people and its been a pleasure to have you.
thanks for the kind words, Patrick! :) You're right--many countries cannot says the same :D
Hey Lisa and Josh, if you're still in Sydney, take a train to Katoomba and see the Blue Mountains, Lots of hiking trails in a beautiful forest. Should cost you no more than a train ticket and a packed lunch made from ingredients sourced from Aldi. I feel for you guys having to put up with how expensive things are here. Most backpackers come here on a working visa which allows them to stay longer and afford to stay here. The main reason restaurants are so expensive is because there's a minimum hourly rate for wait staff of around $24. This means they don't need to rely on tips to live like you do in the US. Glad the Flying Finney's took you for a sail on Sydney Harbour. Aussie hospitality at it's best! It's a beautiful city to visit. Take Care! Cheers, Stef Ohh, I almost forgot, if you want a truly Australian experience that's not too expensive, go to an Aussies Rules Football (AFL) game, preferably with a local who can explain the rules. It's a fast paced - high scoring game that is unique to Australia.
I second this. They're missing out if they don't atleast visit the mountains once
Unfortunately the train line to Katoomba at the moment is damaged due to the floods and rain
AFL is Victorian and Sydney swans suck. We have the NRL in Sydney.
@@lachd2261 no now. It's been back to normal the last 2 weeks
we were so bummed to miss the Blue Mountains--this was highest on our bucket list! unfortunately, the weather was not in agreement with us. it is great to hear that wait staff can work and not have to rely on tips here. we had the best time in Sydney and honestly felt so cared for and welcomed!
this honestly made me cherish so much about sydney. Ive lived here for so long and have never like stepped foot out of what I know. i love this!
❤️
First video i've seen from you guys, and loved it! Great humour, and just a postive vibe throughout. Subscribed.
Hey Thomas--thanks so much for watching and subbing! :)
Thanks for your reaction to our city. My wife and I lived and worked overseas for many years and when we came back realised what a treasure it was. No doubt you have moved on but one key to Sydney is that while the city itself is beautiful, there are many unique and colourful suburbe accessible by train and blessed by varying culture...also very cheap.
Thanks for promoting Sydney to the world and thank you for visiting!
You make me want to be a tourist in my own city. I work and live in the city but have become blind to its beauty. I am so grateful to live here thank you for reminding me.
ah we know that feeling! we loved exploring Sydney and feel like there's no place like it
Hey Josh and Lisa, so happy to see you are enjoying Sydney! It's my hometown and I always find free things to do. As I am not working at the moment and looking after my Dad - I'm always finding things to do that is nil cost. I highly recommend doing the Coogee to Bronte walk, if warm enough, a dip at the Coogee Baths!
It's so awesome to see your parents. The fun is back!!! 🎊🎉🍾🥂
yessss!!!!
Stumbled upon your channel recently and just binged all your videos - love your energy and glad you love our city!
Will be following you throughout your journey :)
Awesome, thank you for finding us and watching!!!
So nice to see you travelling in my city and enjoying it. Have the best trip!
Thank you! Will do!
Sydney is so beautiful!! Lisa I had that same feeling when I saw the Colosseum in person for the first time. It was so magical ✨
so so beautiful!! :) the colosseum is amazing too! can't replace that feeling of seeing something so monumental and iconic for the first time
Glad you love our city! Cheaper to eat in neighbourhood “high” streets and you’ll get a much better feel for real Sydney. Darling St in Balmain, King St/Enmore Rd in Newtown, Oxfords St in Paddington, Crown St Surry Hills etc. All have their own character. Grocery stores also cheaper when you get out of CBD. A couple of must do’s: ferry city to Manly, Opera Bar (under Opera House) at Sunset on a sunny day, Bondi beach, coastal walk from Bondi to Coogee. All of the above accessible by public transport, all cheaper to stay than in cbd.
If you want to get a car for day go to Bleu Mountains and do some bush walks. Stunning. Three Sisters a must.
excellent recs, thank you!! we wanted to check out the blue mountains, it was high on our bucket list! but unfortunately, the weather was not in agreement :( we will be back again!
I love the personality of both of you ! It was so entertaining to watch this video! Wow!! It made me want to live there! Thank you for sharing your experience with us!!
Well hi there!! :)
Thank you so much!
thanks so much for visiting our city!! Glad you guys enjoyed it here!! Awesome video!! 👍👍👍
Thank you too!
Welcome to Oz..Great vlog with a genuine outlook & view..Even the in-laws/outlaws were a great addition to compare the options available..nice touch.. Thank you
So glad you enjoyed your time in Sydney 😊 my favourite place in the whole world ❤️
Not if you buy the supermarket branded items it won't I can buy a full trolley load at Coles for $150
it's so beautiful!!! can see why :)
Great video, friends! We love the money saving tips. Thanks for sharing!
hey guys!! thanks for watching :)
Congrats on 10k subs!!!!!!! Keep on travelling :-)
thanks so much!!! we intend to! :)
This is the best Video I’ve see from a tourist in my beautiful city of Sydney….we’ll done, and it’s still lovely in the rain!
Wow, thank you!! Sydney was stunning--rain and all :)
loved the video!!
Just watched it. Better late than never, ha. Great video, a lot of beautiful impressions. Good stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am glad you're enjoying my hometown! If you guys can stay longer. I'm more than happy to show more affordable local things
we really appreciate it, Alfred! hope to come back soon and would love to take you up on that offer!
I live in Sydney and you guys are very right about it.... on one side its expensive and on the other side its amazing... I love walking around the City.... the nature, parks, harbour, architecture, museums, skyscrapers, beaches, clubs, bars etc etc etc.. everything at one place... I'm still enjoying the city even after 4 years here... :).. Good luck guys and watch out your wallet when you are here... cheers.. !
Tip: Don't shop at Woollies, you'll spend $50 for a few items but when at Aldi, walk away with a trolly.
yes!! we love aldi so much!! we even bought a trolly key :)
Hey Lisa and Josh, first time here!! Like your guys style! Very entertaining, informative vlog!!😀👍💯
what a great video. Helped me appreciate my own city that I was born and grew up in. I guess it didnt help that every time you showed the sky rise, it was my work office! ;) But yes it is crazy expensive, but there are so may beautiful, scenic and FREE coastal walks. Your parents are a classic!
Thanks for sharing!!! the city is so scenic in itself! :) the parents are awesome, we agree! :D
Thank you guys for your amazing videos. Much love from Czech ❤️
wow, thanks so much, Egon!!
Welcome to Sydney! It's refreshing to see it through a visitors perspective. You guys are doing great and hope you have an amazing time for the rest of the trip. Some tips below may have been written already but hopefully someone might find it useful:
- cheap eats: china town food plazas
- cheap produce: paddy's market open Wednesday - Sunday
- cheap meat: butcher at Hay Market
- cheap fish: Sydney fish market
- cheap asian groceries: IGA at hay market
- cheap stays: Facebook market or Gumtree for short term rentals/accomodations
- cheap drinks: buying a case of beer or whatever choice at Dan Murphy's and rationing that out at picnics
Enjoy!
this is an amazing list, thank you so much!! so so helpful. We were staying right next to Paddy's Market and loved the fresh produce and goods here. also had no idea about Facebook or Gumtree for accommodations! these are the helpful tips we all needed :)
Im a Sydney sider and I've a few tips !!! One word aldi !!! Also make your lunches and take snacks and water. Bondi beach, the #433 bus goes there from the station at Circular Quay, or the train to Bondi junction then a bus. Also blue mountains (Can get there via train) but PLEASE don't go into the bush on a walk as the amount of rain we have recently had means the ground is so wet, recently a family visiting here from the UK went walking and a cliff up there collapsed and the father and a son died. Tragic. Was on the news a few days ago. If the weather comes good and you decide a swim at Bondi or other beach swim only between the red and yellow flags. If you get into trouble raise your hand and arm and the lifeguard will get you. Our emergency numbers for police, fire or paramedics are 000 I hope you never need it but just in case.
China town has good markets Friday sat and Sunday and cheap food in the back streets. I live in Glebe and our markets on Saturday are quite good. The University of Sydney is a nice walk.
Also other free things are usually pubs on a Saturday night have live entertainment. On April 25 in the city we stop to reflect those who died in war for us. It's a public holiday called A.N.Z.A.C (Australia New Zealand Army Corps). And to honour those in all wars. There is a service in the city at the war memorial where you guys went and also to the other one in Martin place off George St, at 4.30 am and dusk. The "last post". Is played. Followed by a minutes silence. To honour the fallen. I suggest you go to this. A really wonderful thing to do. I will be there to honour my late grandparents who fought in WW2 at age 16. And to honour all the fallen.
We say "lest we forget". And we wear rosemary on us on this day. Shops won't be open until 1pm this day, some not at all.
All shops closed good friday for Easter also.
You must try Vegemite spread and film it ! Your new subscriber. Sonia . Sydney
thank you so much for all these great suggestions and for the helpful information!! What a beautiful tribute and memorial.
Excellent video guys! We are located in Sydney and enjoyed your video immensely. Both informative and visually satisfying, we are sincerely grateful to have you both visit our beautiful country which we love.
Give them a job! ;)
thank you for watching!! and the kind comment :) we loved our time in Sydney and can't wait to return to Australia to explore more!!
Great video wish you could see the normal weather Sydney has👍
You definitely need to get out of the CBD if you visit Sydney. My personal favourite is the ferry to Watson's Bay and a walk around the South Head. The ferry to Manly is good too, but can be a little wobbly! Watson's Bay also has a famous fish and chip shop on the ferry wharf. There are so many good beaches in Sydney you do get spoilt for choice - Bondi is the most famous (especially if you are a surfer), but they all have their quirks. We like the inner Harbour beaches - especially with small children - and even better when the ice cream boat comes around! It's a real shame the weather has been terrible this year - a year's worth of rain in 4 months! At least it isn't on fire.
Great video, amazing content!💖😍💖 God bless u and your family. 🌹💕🌹Thank you for making us happy and smiling...💖🌹💖Keep rising and shining... sending lots of Love and care 💖💕💖from Sydney, Australia.
You are so kind, thank you :)
If you're looking for some cheap places to travel in Sydney, it is well worth taking the ferry to Manly or a train to the Blue Mountains. It's really cheap on weekends as well! :)
if you are still in sydney. check out customs house building in circular quay located across the road from circular quay station.it's a beautiful building with a rich history.. the floor on the entrance/lobby is see through with a 3D architecture of Sydney. it's free. Alot of weddings take place there. you can go in. Level 2 or 3 is a public library and Level 5 is a restaurant but it's pricy.
wow, bummed we missed this! great recommendations, thank you!!
Liked and Subscribed! Will be “tagging along” on your trips around the world cos I’m an armchair traveler - see if you can get me off my chair! 😂 Love your videos ❤️
😂 thank you for watching and tagging along (from anywhere, including your chair!)❤️
what a gorgeous family, loved your video, welcome to Australia, it is mega expensive but beautiful. :)
thanks for the kind comment and welcome :)
Sydney is more than just the harbour bridge and Opera house.
Go out to the suburbs like Marrickville, Cabramatta, Granville and Ashfield. So many cheap options there to eat
This is amazing! 😍
I've just watched your videos. They are really good. Pleased you enjoyed Sydney, even though the weather has been terrible
Thanks so much for watching!!
Thank you for enjoying my city of Sydney. Definitely need more people visiting now that we've opened up. I love how we acknowledged both the indigenous and European heritage.
I suggest take a train to Wollongong or even Kiama. Once you are out of the suburbs the view is great along the coast. Make sure to get a seat on the left side for the best view.
It’s so nice to see Brian and Linda even though you’re on the other side of the earth
Great to see you are enjoying Sydney guys and you have really done us proud with your presentation. It is extremely expensive but you are right there are mountains of things to do. Make sandwiches and bring them and some juice poppers with you. If you enjoy walks then there are plenty which I love doing. One I recommend is around the Sydney Harbour and runs from Cremorne around to Chowder Bay walking past Taronga Zoo and a flat easy walk. Another which is a little more challenging is from Manly around to Forty Baskets and then on to Spit Bridge. From there you can get buses back to the city. A ferry from Circular Quay to Manly is a great ride and Manly itself well worth a look. Oh and don't forget Woolloomooloo Bay and another pie courtesy of Harry's Cafe de Wheels. Most of that is pretty inexpensive :))))
thank you for all these amazing recs :) Woolloomooloo Bay and Manly look incredible!!! we had the best time in Sydney and can't wait to come back again
Yay! Welcome to our beautiful city! I hope you got over to Taronga Zoo, see some beaches & the Blue Mountains.
I was lucky enough to call it home for a year its always evolving and theres lots of hidden gems.
Lisa, I’ve been seeing the Opera House for decades & I still love seeing it. I hope you all went inside, it is stunning.
agreed. i am fortunate to work in circular quay area at pretty much at one of the buildings there with views of the harbour, the bridge and opera house. i sometimes purposely go to work 30 minutes early so i could walk to the opera house and back before going into work.
we had hoped to go in, but it was closed, so we peered through the windows :) still, such a stunning place to see!!
what a view!!
Ironically I was in Koh Samui while you were in Sydney again. Thanks for coming back and bringing in mum and dad.
hope you enjoyed your time in Koh Samui :) we loved coming back to Sydney with the family!
I was in Sydney last year and spent hardly any money as l used public transport and got food from supermarkets and cafes. I loved taking ferry rides to Manly, cockatoo island, and a nice train trip to Newcastle for a day trip. Wendy's secret garden is lovely in lavender bay on the north sure
I was there in January and the Indigenous exhibit at Barangaroo was still getting finished so Its great to see what it looks like! Byron Bay girl here, let me know next time you are in town as we might have a rustic rainforest retreat available.
I'm Australian and have found rent to be PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE. Ten Grand a year, for a roof over your head - minimum. I cracked it and refused my rental increase for 2022, moving out in January. 2+ months in my car and doing okay 😊 I have a fulltime job too that works sunrise to sunset so I'm exhausted and sleep early, in a carpark that nobody notices me. Last week the Police pulled someone over and they stopped right next to me in the next bay, nobody noticed me, haha
I am so sorry you are having to put up with this. I grew up in the city many years ago, and it was definitely most liveable then. It was cheap and easy to get around and the beaches were very accessible. The population was about two thirds less then. Parking was free practically everywhere. It wasn't as flashy but it was really great back then.
Sydney is a beautiful City. I’m lucky to call Australian Brisbane home now for 30 years.
I'm in American who's been living in Sydney for over 20 years and loving it. If you have any questions about this country or where to go next feel free to PM me 🙂
thanks so much!
It’s interesting to observe the city I live in from an oversea traveler’s perspective.
Don’t be worried about being a tourist in Sydney. I grew up here in 50’s/60’s in a beautiful harbour side suburb and took it all for granted. When l travel back to Sydney now I have fun doing all the tourist stuff! This was a great look at all the good stuff you can do in Sydney.
Good to know! :) we love it!
You guys seem a lot happier now.
Stay with it.
Should try to get to Tasmania it beautiful
Tasmania is a must see.
I am a USA expat living in Sydney for about 4.5 years, Do the free walking tours in CBD. They are great. Do the coastal walks. Spit bridge to Manly walk is awesome (about 10k) and Maroubra to Bondi coastal walk is nice as well. Take the river cat ferry demo Circular Quay to Paramata. Walk part of the way back along the river then jump on a ferry back. Walk through the Botanocal Gardens and the Rocks on a Saturday, Walk across the Harbor Bridge and visit Kirribilli area and Lavender Bay walk near Luna Park. Then walk to The Coal Loaders and grab a coffee or snack at the cafe there. It is very expensive here in Sydney and the pay is not as good as the USA, but it is a great place to live. Get up to North Queensland as well to dove the Great Barrier Reef.
Everyone wanders around Circular Quay and goes to Bondi beach but the best cheap sightseeing trip is on the Manly Ferry - especially the older large ferries. There is the trip and then there is Manly. A great beach and plenty to see not to mention the many beaches to the North which are covered by buses from Manly Wharf.
Take a train up to the Blue Mountain's, Blackheath is magical.
That‘s where I grew up
@@miriamwells35 lucky you :-)
I love Sydney for the variety of food, particularly Asian food. Good Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese and Indian food can be found in nearly any suburb.
Every time my mum visits from Tasmania we go to a different ethnic suburb to try some food. We’ve done Cabramatta and Harris Park. We might try to find some Lebanese food in Bankstown next.
yess, the diversity of food is amazing!!
Welcome to my city. Nice review.
I live in Sydney, about 15mins from the cbd. I felt like we don’t appreciate the city enough as you guys. We are going to have a city getaways this weekend:)
Must add it’s worth taking a ferry either direction to the end. Parramatta and Manly offer very different trip styles. Along the river and harbour there are hundreds of bush walks.
The government was very quick to protect as much of the foreshore as National parks when Sydney was growing making for a lot of free walks that make you feel like you’re in the country. Manly to Spit is a popular one. But there are many west of the bridge too
LMAO @ recommending parramatta to a tourist.
Looks like Ill have to have a look at Barangaroo looks amazing .Pretty sad that I live just west of Manly .
When in Sydney, you must get an Opal card as the cheapest means of public transport. You can use it on busses, trains, ferries and trams.
You should get to the outer suburbs like Newtown for that’s grunge feel, Cabramatta for the Asian immersion Marrickville for Greek.
If you stayed a wee bit out of the CBD, the rental would be lower than staying directly in the city
Iv lived in Sydney 3 years .. it is expensive but it’s worth it.. lots of things to do that are free or cheap.. harbour walks, all the amazing beaches, national parks, gardens and some galleries / museums exhibitions are free .. happy hours are definitely the cheapest times to drink around the city centre.. sometimes meals can be cheaper during week days at pubs..
Thanks for the tips! we agree!
Amazing wish I could visit Australia it looks so clean and pretty
You should you can travel for weeks in Australia and not even touch the surface of what's available 😃😃 cheers from an aussie down under😁😁👍👍
Please come. You'll love it here
@@boostedmedia0007 You could travel for decades and there would stil be stuff left..
It really is!
This video reminded me again that despite the fact I work in Barangaroo, I still haven't made the walk up to the headlands
You should have taken a walk across the harbour bridge....it's amazing!
I'm glad you guys love Sydney! I watched your NZ campervan tour. Absolutely loved it!
I'm American and have lived here for a few years. Needless to say I was STUNNED at how expensive it is here. However, when you show the prices of things, they seem inflated because you aren't mentioning that the exchange rate is about $1.50 AUD to $1.00 USD, which makes the food in stores like Woolies more reasonable.
Also, in NSW, everyone hates the public transport because they are always working on the trains- like every weekend lines are closed down. I would have to agree that it is VERY affordable compared to the costs of other things.
But the one thing that I am so happy to hear you say is how absolutely stunning Sydney is. I knew there were things I wanted to see here, but I really had no idea how amazing Sydney was until I got here. Your videos are great, yet they still don't capture the essence of Sydney completely, and I don't think any video really can!
Thanks for your awesome videos!!!
From 14th April for 12 days is free transport!
Try to go to Watson’s Bay. Taking a ferry from Circular Quay. Then take a trek to The Lighthouse passing through The Gap.
don't know how long you guys are staying but welcome to australia and hope you all stay till vivid. it's pretty much the most exciting free thing yearly. also i work at sydney harbour and see the harbour bridge and opera house daily. i also walk around the harbour daily before work because how much i love it. alot of locals do the touristy things too
Vivid and Ramadan nights in lakemba, 2 good free nights out
Mate, you gotta do the Bondi to Coogee walk. Botanical gardens, bridge climb, Get the ferry to Manly
Nice a clear and articulate
If you have a working holiday visa you can work. The other thing is you can also do to save money (if you go beyond Sydney) and the other capital cities is camping. You can also use the Opal card- NSW's public public transport card to go a long way.
Welcome to my city, definitely not cheap here but hopefully you will still enjoy and appreciate Sydney, Woolworths and most supermarket have good choices of cheap food options, taste not bad either, or food court in Haymarket/Chinatown if you want something different, have fun
thank you for the welcome! we loved Sydney and really enjoyed eating in Chinatown :)
yeah totally agree. I live in Melbourne and it's not cheap at all to live. hotels are crazy expensive
This is Gold, we are a family from New Zealand about to set off on a big adventure with our kids. When me and my wife did a big world tour 13 years ago we were on the ultra tight budget as well.. Amazing how cheap you can get by if you need to.
that is amazing! where will your adventure take you all?
@@LisaAndJosh first up working at a summer in North Carolina then living on the rd in New Zealand 🇳🇿 full time till we run out of $$$
Guys!, The US dollar converts to more Aussie dollars! Staying inner city is super exxy! The city fringe is much cheaper much more interesting too. The cheapest harbour cruise in the world are our beautiful ferries which is our public transport
the ferries are amazing!!!
Next time u guys here- more than happy to drive you guys around different places 😊
ooo, we may just take you up on that :)
@@LisaAndJosh just reach and got this noted 😊😊😊 also just watched your sth korea clips...and now have booked our holiday on april and copying your itinerary lol ..also have cancelled the jeju island instead booked busan 😊
Awesome, now if you go to a country show, kinda like your state fair , Sydney royal Easter show is pricey and commercial, but the Hawkesbury show coming up in a couple of weeks is cheaper and more country, plus I’m working there selling Poffertjes ( mini Dutch pancakes) by the cow shed, Hawkesbury show is at Clarendon, on the Richmond line
The way to see the Opera house is start out at the Art Gallery of NSW then go through the botanical gardens, down to the Opera House and cross the Harbour bridge.
Start collecting cans, always carry a bag. I go out on bin nights. Cash them in at woolworths self checkout
Check out renting a room!! You can do it for a month or more and around $150 a week
There is no doubt inflation has hit Australia and at Woolies and other supermarkets, I love that you loved Sydney and I wish it had been better weather with blue skies.
Western Australia is a long flight almost 7 hours. Tickets have gone up recently. Also check out new Zealand we have some things in common..
love this. get into geocaching it takes you to some amazing spots worldwide.
Aussie here. planning 4 days Sydney stay for seeing Uncle Roger comedy show in Newtown this June and looking at all the restaurants to eat out, you video made me realised how expensive is expensive... i blow $60 just to have lunch at The Grounds of Alexandria...
yeahhh, for sure! But, Uncle Roger show sounds so fun!!!
Thanks for loving our Sydney.... Pretty specky isn't it 😍
You guys should go to Newcastle, 2 hours north away from sydney. :)
Lisa & Josh hit the Aussie Algo. People who live in Sydney needing to chime in. If your Dad is an admirer of town/city planning he would blow his load if he/you all visited Canberra.
Sydney pork rolls is a winner.
the owners are lovely.
Hello The.
Great vid guys.
we loved their banh mi so much!! thanks for watching :)
Yes, Sydney is expensive, but glad you did find the free things to do, like enjoying the harbour views, botanical gardens. We love those activities too. As for walking on the left... everything is opposite and upside down in Australia. Enjoy the rest of your trip with your parents 😊
The most expensive thing in Sydney are homes to buy or rent , if you shop around and go to the markets , you can buy excellent very fresh fruit and vegetable for very low prices , the big supermarkets in Australia have a huge range of half price specials each week , and clothes can be cheap to buy , if you shop around .
thanks for the tips!!! we loved all the fresh produce and amazing walks in Sydney!
you called it! :)
Try some of the areas outside the CBD like Flemington markets, Hurstville, Auburn, Lakemba. You'll find your groceries for less, take backpacks. Woolies metro tends to be pricey try Woolies and Coles and Aldi further out. The prices do vary. Don't ignore the ethnic grocers either, try Harris Park.
yep, we hired it for a couple of weeks
