Bonzer video mate! Especially the trip to Palm Beach and the lighthouse, that brought back so many memories! Too much on here to comment on, but fair to say I loved it all :)
I can’t possibly be the only subscriber who cracks up laughing every few minutes at Scott’s dry humour, sarcasm and p*ss takes! 😂 And Blair … you are the perfectly awesome 19 year old in every way with your chill dude attitude. You are both no frills, father and son duo, keeping it real for your viewers. Don’t stop being you! Much love from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️❤️
Thank you, Scott, and Blair, for bringing me along to Sydney!! Most likely, this will be the only way I can see it. The so-called travel videos are not going to show the detail as you did, Scott!! I have two observations, both good: Blair shows a strong pull to museums, which suits me very well. I feel the same way about them. And Scott, they say "you can't go home again." But you did, and navigated it very well, I might add. And with no maudlin tales!! Cheers!! Chuck in Northern New England
Scott, your channel is fantastic, I never miss a video. But this one was so so good. Thank you and Blair for reminding me how great Sydney and Australia is. I'll be back one day. Best wishes from a Dubliner living in Dundee! Enjoy a coffee on me.
I like Sydney alot. Never lived there. Been in Melbourne since we got here from the UK, before Christmas 1970. I was nine. 63 now, still live in Melbourne. Travel Australia now. Only went back once to the UK. 1983. Nice video of father and son. Cheers.
My dad moved from Glasgow to Wollongong just down the road from Sydney when he was a boy with his parents and brother.My grandfather worked at the Clyde shipyards and when he moved here he worked in the steel industry at port Kembla.I still live in Wollongong and work in coal mining.
The homing pigeon returns! Top notch footage there . I think the scenery has trumped the trains, buses and planes. BTW those EMUs your old man worked on were specced to a design life of 50 years so a few years left. That repurposed Katoomba coal skip line you referenced has proved a literal gold mine for the operators. Enjoy your wander.
Thank you for a wonderful video, so many memories, I've been to Australia 5 times, last one in 1998, seen all the spots you have shown on this trip, made this old woman very happy 🤓
My brother immigrated to Sydney in 1997, living in Penth. I have visited 3 times and loved it. We visited all the places you discussed and visited. I miss him dearly but I know he is having a good life.❤️
Thanks for this trip down memory lane for me too! I emigrated to Sydney, Australia in 1985 and lived on the northern beaches in Narrabeen and Dee Why (Long Reef was a local beach and regular walk). I moved to Queensland's Gold Coast in early 2002 and still live there. Sydney has changed a lot over the years but it was lovely to see it through your eyes. Looking forward to your Cairns trip
I love Sydney. I was born there, but my parents moved cross country to Perth when I was two. I moved back after high school and lived with my grandparents for University. The pubs were amazing! I saw so many fantastic bands. I moved back to WA once I got my degree. I believe Sydney have changed a lot and it’s very expensive now.
Loved your journey. Australia on my bucket list. Those cicadas were deafening, just like when I used to live in Florida. I'll be here for the rest of the journey. Stay safe.
@19:02 That island, from memory, is called Lion Island. I grew up in the Sutherland Shire during the 1960s to 1970s. Our family had a holiday home at Gosford. Every Christmas (Summer), our grandparents would take us up to the home in Avoca and travelling north on the new expressway was quite interesting, and Lion island was always recognisable landmark for a kid. At the house there was a dirt road that led to a sea-bath along a short pier. I’ve spent fruitless hours trying to remember the road or locate the sea-baths.
My dad came to Australia from Dundee in 1968, this reminds me alot of how me and my Dad interacted when i was a teeneager. One day Blair will look back on this as a core memory of him and his Dad.
My family emigrated in 1968 as "£10 Poms" (Chandris Lines RMS Ellinis, arrived Sydney February). I returned to England in 1974 but the rest of my family remained in Oz. I went back to visit family in 1996/7 I couldn't get over how much Sydney had changed.
Amazing video Scott, open my eyes as to what Sydney has to offer as didn’t know before, looks great place to visit, great to see ur son embracing he’s dad past and time with him.
Really good. I recognised several places from when I was in Sydney and the Blue Mountains in 2004. Can it really be almost 21 years! Aiming to take the non stop flight from London to Perth next year.
Thanks for sharing this , my parents met and married in Sydney and then moved to Katoomba, before returning to the UK when Mum was six months pregnant with me in 1965. It's on my bucket list, and I can see especially why Katoomba is somewhere my Mum remembers with affection. My late Father was from Malta originally and would have loved to have stayed in Oz, the climate suited him much better than the UK!
why did they return to the UK? My mother travelled to England, met and married my father, then imported him back to Sydney and he only went back once for work for 3 weeks
Great video, you managed to fit in a lot in your time in Sydney, I was there in 2000, loved the ferry out to Manly and the short walk to the ocean beach.
Fantastic vlog of my home town. Yes Sydney is a beautiful place but unfortunately Australia is too far away from Europe. Some may like this. I’m so glad you enjoyed your reminiscences.
Great video Scott - brought back many memories for me also. I went to Sydney in 1986 with British Rail consultancy Transmark. My first taste of Sydney was travelling to work on the Red Rattler over the Harbour Bridge - doors open and wedged in - would be seen as a OHS issue these days - no central door locking back then. I left and returned to UK in 2000 with work - have been back since, but last visit was in 2011. Looks like Sydney also has changed in just the last 13 years.
Brilliant 👍 loved this Scott 😁 Thanks for taking us on a fantastic tour looking forward to the next part 👍 take care and until next time Pauline from Blackpool living in Canada 🇨🇦
When I stayed in Manly for a week on holiday in 1991 I used to get the ferry into Sydney in the morning and was so envious seeing the suited gents commuting into work. My commute was a crowded underground train into the City of London.
An amazing video that resonated with me! I spent the first 22 years of my life in Melbourne and ever since in Canada. I last went back to Melbourne in 2008 just before my father passed away. I had visited a couple of times over the years but my reaction was just like yours: “Full of memories but unrecognizable now”. The biggest change that I saw was that when I left in the late 60s there was still a sort of “white Australia policy” and the change to an ethnic mix was stunning. Even with that positive change I have no desire to visit again. My children (now Canadian/US) mildly resent that I didn’t take them to visit but they can do that on their own, lol. That said, it was lovely to see your son enjoying the trip. I spent a lot of holidays in Sydney but it’s mostly unrecognizable to me - except for Bondi Beach and the Manly Ferry.
I loved all of that video 😍 I thought it was great that you were recognised by a subscriber, it's a small world that is for sure. A friend of mine visited Australia some years back, and was walking down the street with her family, only to see a family that she knew from her home town walking towards rhem, so what else was there to do but to go for a drink! It just goes to show that no matter where in the world you travel, there's always a chance that someone that knows you will be there too!
My perfect Aussie trip. Darwin and Kakadu then Darwin to Adelaide on the Ghan, stopping in Alice Springs for a couple of days. To Sydney, to Brisbane, to Cairns for the Great Barrier Reef.
Nice to see you in your old stomping ground, Scott. I have been here 60 years and never been back to the UK. I live in a country town 450 km southwest of Sydney. I love the inland! I never lived in Sydney but did live in Melbourne for a few years. Both cities are far too big. Cheers, love your videos!
Enjoyed it. Great! You remind me so much of my son and me. We have travelled a lot together replete with the age gap! Curmudgeon you are at times Scott! Reminds me of me! Lovely. BTW Love Sydney. Great city! Take care
Brought back lots of memories of my last trip to Sydney in 2003-4 - especially the Manly ferry, which we used having been for a swim on Christmas Eve. And Katoomba in the Blue Mountains - my first view of the Three Sisters was on a beautiful chilly day in August 1996. Sadly won't be back any time soon (from the UK) but great vlog. And Blair - you've got to allow your Dad to get a word in. 😊Thanks v much for the memories! 😊👍
"Eawoo"..... im a Sydneysider....you lads put some steps on in the post. Haymarket to East Sydney to the Quay. The Zoo....Great sample of my great city....she is a beautiful girl for sure. Then the walk up the Blue Mountains with mega steps....
I was born in Manly and left as a young boy in 84, moved to Leicester Uk but am now living in sunny Queensland, I highly recommend you come and check out the sunshine coast I've a feeling both you and your son will enjoy it immensely, happy travels 🤙🇭🇲
I did the opposite to you - I moved from the UK to Sydney about 33 years ago. I'm now one of those Pittwater kayakers whose boats you saw at Barrenjoey. Nice to see you showing your son the highlights. As a kayaker my own favourites are the waterways such as Berowra Water, Hawkesbury River and Port Hacking - all reachable by public transport and bikes. You also seem to have fallen out of the habit of slip slop slap - after two skin cancers I don't go outside without a hat at any time of year!
Scott, you likely lived in Sydney, in the mid 80s, when I took at least a couple of holidays in beautiful Sydney, as a young man. (I live in New Zealand 😊) Much of what you showed brings back so many happy memories for me 😊
Australia has changed, I'm retired. I own my own my two bedroom, one and half bathroom flat. I share with a man of Portuguese, Angola.and Timor Leste heritages. We live in a small rural town, but I still wouldn't want to live anywhere else!!
Really enjoyed your sojourn to Sydney video Scotty. I love visiting Sydney, the city with most to offer in Australia, but it's always good to get back home to Brisbane. Dad was transferred here when I was 11 and I fell in love with the casual and friendly atmosphere that Queensland is known for. Good to see Blair strip off on Bondi for some vitamin D. I thought he had too much to say throughout the video. His comments seemed to drown you out. He's a good lad and may start his own travel channel one day. He may even give you a cameo role on a return to Sydney project. Thumbs up Scott and Blair.
Hi an excellent video and i really enjoyed watching you both travel around Sydney. It looks so amazing and I will need to visit Australia myself one day and visit Sydney.
When I was 18, I climbed the scenic railway close to midnight. There were no fancy glass-topped carriages back then (it was 1980). Climbing the railway under a full moon was kind of fun, but yeah, there were bits where the tracks were so steep and covered with grease that I wouldn’t repeat.
Love this vlog. I lived in Collaroy Beach as a child ten pound pom back in the sixties. Great memories. Now living in not so sunny Troon in Ayrshire. 😂
Wow, you've shown me sights of Syndey I never saw and sights I desperately would love to see again. It's 27 years since I was last there, like you I recognise places but so much has changed. The sounds are special, makes the place a unique destination. I did the mountain railway in the Blue Mountians on my first visit, it's like falling off a cliff, not sure I'd do that again - but 45 minutes walking uphill, that's brutal! I visited Cairns on both my trips to Australia, looking forwards to another trip down memory lane!
Great video mate. Shame I missed you walking through central. I could have offered you a tour of the station clock tower. Glad you had a great time in Sydney. With the exception of the motel. Who knows maybe I’ll run into you on our trip to Scotland next year. Safe travels to your next destination.
Thanks Scott. Great video as always. I live in Newcastle, just two hours north of Sydney and I’ve just given myself an uppercut for never having visited Long Reef or Barrenjoey in 64 years! Now I’m retired I’m adding them to my list.
Great video. I absolutely love Sydney (was there earlier this year) - and this is a proper 'greatest hits' package. I love exploring the suburbs and seeing the 'real Sydney'. Palm Beach and The Blue Mountains are great trips - I'm overdue a return to both. Also - shuttling around on ferries is a great way to kill a couple of hours. I'm due back there in March, so this video will (rip) tide me over. Loved it. Great stuff.
Australia is very beautiful with Sydney being a nice city to walk around and explore the various parts of the city and I like seeing where you are especially on the beach and have a wonderful visit to where you grew up take care and thanks Scott.🇬🇧👋🇦🇺
Bonzer video mate! Especially the trip to Palm Beach and the lighthouse, that brought back so many memories! Too much on here to comment on, but fair to say I loved it all :)
Did you live in Australia too ??
Did you live in Australia
Scott should drive to Fraser island east coast🍻🍺👍👍
Steve, Scott, if you guys ever make it to Adelaide, I'd love to take you for a tram ride to Glenelg.
@@xix94 I lived in New Zealand, but made a few hops across
I can’t possibly be the only subscriber who cracks up laughing every few minutes at Scott’s dry humour, sarcasm and p*ss takes! 😂 And Blair … you are the perfectly awesome 19 year old in every way with your chill dude attitude. You are both no frills, father and son duo, keeping it real for your viewers. Don’t stop being you! Much love from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️❤️

Ahh! The cicadas! The sound of summer holidays and Christmas! 😃
Scott, your channel is fantastic, I never miss a video. But this one was so so good. Thank you and Blair for reminding me how great Sydney and Australia is. I'll be back one day. Best wishes from a Dubliner living in Dundee! Enjoy a coffee on me.
Loving the father , son combo , quality time ❤
Please ask Blair to keep these precious memories. Look forward to the next one you’re a great man.
I like Sydney alot. Never lived there. Been in Melbourne since we got here from the UK, before Christmas 1970. I was nine. 63 now, still live in Melbourne. Travel Australia now. Only went back once to the UK. 1983. Nice video of father and son. Cheers.
My dad moved from Glasgow to Wollongong just down the road from Sydney when he was a boy with his parents and brother.My grandfather worked at the Clyde shipyards and when he moved here he worked in the steel industry at port Kembla.I still live in Wollongong and work in coal mining.
Sydney looks a great place. I liked the combination of a modern well connected city with easy access to the sea, and countryside with plenty to do.
LOve your videos, Australia is on my bucket list so really enjoying this series.
The homing pigeon returns! Top notch footage there . I think the scenery has trumped the trains, buses and planes.

My Sydney hot take from a visit - Manley is so much a better day out than Bondi.
Totally agree, Bondi beach is a bit overrated if you ask me… Manley was bigger, much nicer and easy to get to by ferry.
Thank you for a wonderful video, so many memories, I've been to Australia 5 times, last one in 1998, seen all the spots you have shown on this trip, made this old woman very happy 🤓

Got to be better than this grey expensive hellhole !
Excellent introduction to Sydney Scott - I had no idea there was so much interesting coast and countryside so close to the city - Thank You.
Blair is a man of very few words, very few!
So are most 19 year olds males. I’ve raised 5 of them.
thinks he's being cool that way
They seem to only communicate via a piece of glass nowadays.
But he did smile a lot in this video!
Quite a few new skyscrapers since I was last there in 2003-4. Great vlog as alwaysv- many thanks!
Great video and seeing Oz is amazing. the sun the blue mountains the vastness of Oz
Wow, that view at 24:20 was stunning.
Thanks for this trip down memory lane for me too! I emigrated to Sydney, Australia in 1985 and lived on the northern beaches in Narrabeen and Dee Why (Long Reef was a local beach and regular walk). I moved to Queensland's Gold Coast in early 2002 and still live there. Sydney has changed a lot over the years but it was lovely to see it through your eyes. Looking forward to your Cairns trip

Pokies killed pub bands.
Loved your journey. Australia on my bucket list. Those cicadas were deafening, just like when I used to live in Florida. I'll be here for the rest of the journey. Stay safe.
Scott, that’s one great lad you have. Super video, you are definitely fit. You’ve come a long way since the detector in videos. Thanks.
This year I went back to Sydney after 24 years couldn’t believe how much busier it had got and also how the trees had grown round Admiralty House !!
Great video, very interesting. It beats my nostalgic trip with the nipper to Dundee last year!!!
What a lovely video this is!
I loved following your journey on insta. Now the videos! I know they won’t disappoint. What a great trip to do with Blair.
Brought back some happy memories of my time in Sidney. I’d forgotten how stunning those beautiful Blue Mountains are. Thanks for video.
Do you mean SYDNEY

Great video of Sydney and a good overview of this great city, good to see Blair was enjoying the beach and mountains just need to get a Ozzy sun tan
Amazing video Scott, open my eyes as to what Sydney has to offer as didn’t know before, looks great place to visit, great to see ur son embracing he’s dad past and time with him.
Wow a great vlog with good memories for you and to take your son along 😊 Awesome really enjoyed it
Thank-you so much for the Sydney and area tour loved it
What a great video Scott
Great video Scott. Syd looks a lot different now, I was there in 1992 and 1993. But still beautiful as I remember. Many thanks to you and Blair.
Really good. I recognised several places from when I was in Sydney and the Blue Mountains in 2004. Can it really be almost 21 years! Aiming to take the non stop flight from London to Perth next year.
Thanks for the great video. I'm from Edinburgh and have lived in Sydney for 33 years. many of them in Eastwood.

Thanks for making this video. I lived in Sydney 94-2003. Used to love going to Collaroy beach.
Thank you for a great video. Blair talks far too much! Lol 😂. All the best from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
I loved all of that video 😍

Welcome back, great video mate.
Great video Scott would love to go to Australia one day
My perfect Aussie trip. Darwin and Kakadu then Darwin to Adelaide on the Ghan, stopping in Alice Springs for a couple of days. To Sydney, to Brisbane, to Cairns for the Great Barrier Reef.
Fantastic video Scott
What a wonderful trip... I thoroughly enjoyed it 😀👍
Them cicadas are out early and loud. Loved my time in Sydney.
Great video. I havent been to Oz for years, always fun. When in Cairns I recommend a hotair balloon flight, not cheap but you will love it.👍😊
Bondi beach looks like Brazil. So nice to have this father and son time together. God bless your family.
Manly Beach is better
It looks like some of those in Santa Catarina I think.
Loved this episode!
Nice to see you in your old stomping ground, Scott. I have been here 60 years and never been back to the UK. I live in a country town 450 km southwest of Sydney. I love the inland! I never lived in Sydney but did live in Melbourne for a few years. Both cities are far too big. Cheers, love your videos!
I live in Sydney and I have to say it's an amazing city. A bit pricey though!
Welcome back and its golden sands at the beach lol
Enjoyed it. Great! You remind me so much of my son and me. We have travelled a lot together replete
with the age gap! Curmudgeon you are at times Scott! Reminds me of me! Lovely. BTW Love Sydney. Great city! Take care
Looks fabulous great to see you both having a great time
Great video Scott. Brought back so many memories of when we went to Australia in April '23 :)
Brought back lots of memories of my last trip to Sydney in 2003-4 - especially the Manly ferry, which we used having been for a swim on Christmas Eve. And Katoomba in the Blue Mountains - my first view of the Three Sisters was on a beautiful chilly day in August 1996. Sadly won't be back any time soon (from the UK) but great vlog. And Blair - you've got to allow your Dad to get a word in. 😊Thanks v much for the memories! 😊👍
This was a brilliant video. I was fortunate to visit Australia twice. Loved it. What a lovely journey for your kid.
"Eawoo"..... im a Sydneysider....you lads put some steps on in the post. Haymarket to East Sydney to the Quay. The Zoo....Great sample of my great city....she is a beautiful girl for sure. Then the walk up the Blue Mountains with mega steps....
Reminds me of "custody day"!
🤣
I was born in Manly and left as a young boy in 84, moved to Leicester Uk but am now living in sunny Queensland, I highly recommend you come and check out the sunshine coast I've a feeling both you and your son will enjoy it immensely, happy travels 🤙🇭🇲
I did the opposite to you - I moved from the UK to Sydney about 33 years ago. I'm now one of those Pittwater kayakers whose boats you saw at Barrenjoey. Nice to see you showing your son the highlights. As a kayaker my own favourites are the waterways such as Berowra Water, Hawkesbury River and Port Hacking - all reachable by public transport and bikes. You also seem to have fallen out of the habit of slip slop slap - after two skin cancers I don't go outside without a hat at any time of year!
I know how lovely it is walking to Long Reef
Great pics of my home town Sydney and yes the light house is a great walk. Originally from Bearsden 👏
Palmy was my childhood beach too. You guys sure packed a lot into your day. ☺️
Love it. Respect.
Scott, you likely lived in Sydney, in the mid 80s, when I took at least a couple of holidays in beautiful Sydney, as a young man. (I live in New Zealand 😊) Much of what you showed brings back so many happy memories for me 😊
Welcome back to Sydney...wish I bumped into you (I live one stop from Eastwood)!
Excellent video scott thanks for sharing your memories of Sydney with us...must of been wonderful to return with your own son....❤
Australia has changed, I'm retired. I own my own my two bedroom, one and half bathroom flat. I share with a man of Portuguese, Angola.and Timor Leste heritages.
We live in a small rural town, but I still wouldn't want to live anywhere else!!
Great video, brings back good memories of the time my wife and I took a similar trip 18 years ago.
Let's get Scott 100,000 subs by the end of this year!
Really enjoyed your sojourn to Sydney video Scotty. I love visiting Sydney, the city with most to offer in Australia, but it's always good
to get back home to Brisbane. Dad was transferred here when I was 11 and I fell in love with the casual and friendly atmosphere that
Queensland is known for. Good to see Blair strip off on Bondi for some vitamin D. I thought he had too much to say throughout the

Ach .. not a patch on a wild, sodden week on Rannoch Moor! 😎😊
Love this vlog. I lived in Collaroy Beach as a child ten pound pom back in the sixties. Great memories. Now living in not so sunny Troon in Ayrshire. 😂

I see you have mastered the Aussie accent.
All that way and no bloody Skippy .
That was so cool.
Thankyou I enjoyed it take care
Thanks Scott. Great video as always. I live in Newcastle, just two hours north of Sydney and I’ve just given myself an uppercut for never having visited Long Reef or Barrenjoey in 64 years! Now I’m retired I’m adding them to my list.
Blair is certainly a younger version of his dad..twins 😊
Great video. I absolutely love Sydney (was there earlier this year) - and this is a proper 'greatest hits' package. I love exploring the suburbs and seeing the 'real Sydney'.

The Metro Hotel is NOT a 4* hotel. It's a budget 3 1/2 star at the best.
But good to see my home "town" on one of your videos.
Good to have you back
Australia is very beautiful with Sydney being a nice city to walk around
and explore the various parts of the city and I like seeing where you
are especially on the beach and have a wonderful visit to where you
grew up take care and thanks Scott.🇬🇧👋🇦🇺
