Welcome back 💩 Today I’m reacting to the channel, 2Passports 1Dream, for the first time! I really enjoyed them! 🥰 DISCORD: discord.gg/ZSEXdnSP WISHLIST: throne.com/toniaelkins
@@ToniaElkins Years ago we caught a grey nurse shark and pulled it up on the beach. The people came over to look at it and we swam it off. They just went into the same water for a swim. If anything touches my leg in the water I can walk on water but I don't go looking for trouble.
That bird is an Ibis, they’re waterbirds but lost their habitat during the years of drought and found their way to the coast where there are rivers and ponds.
Both domestic and feral cats have wiped out so many of our beautiful marsupials and birds since being introduced with British colonisation. But as an American you can keep as many cats as you like, particularly if your a responsible owner thats keeps them indoors. Enjoyed your video reaction.
I 100% keep my cats indoors! Too many dangerous animals around that can kill them. And all of my cats have been strays that I rescued and one was completely feral and I brought her home and worked with her for a long time to trust humans. She’s now my best cat. Cats are my life, I’m very passionate about them lol.
I've watched their whole Australian series. It's a REALLY fun watch as their characters are infectious as you said. I would implore you to react to all of their series here in Australia - especially their road trip. You'll enjoy it! And see more of Australia.
Those birds with the long black curved beak are Ibis and we call them bin chickens as they like to look in bins for food. They are everywhere in all the cities here.
@@ToniaElkins That's because that's what they are, they use their long beaks to feed out of dumpsters at restaurants, supermarkets, or anywhere there is likely to be food scraps. A nursing home I worked at had a resident bin-chicken, you could always find him/her feeding on the food discarded by kitchen staff and residents.
@MichaelRogers-et8dq mate get a grip it’s all going to be ok.. but they’re bin chickens. There’s even a song about them. They’re ugly and annoying but we love to hate them lol
They are sweet couple😊 it’s also like New York very expensive place to live. At the same time, definitely worth seeing. where they Bought their pies from is called harry de wheels very famous he ordered my All-time favourite meat pie.🤤🤤
You can always have a stopover in LA or Hawaii on the way to Sydney. It’s 15 hour flight from LA to Sydney. Good to build up a sleep bank before going. Adjust time to Sydney time when flying and try to rest according to that. Pay extra for exit seats for more room to sleep and be more comfortable. Sydney is fine to visit but is expensive to live there. Most things are twice the price of the smaller cities like Brisbane,Adelaide and Perth. Real estate,parking. Basics like coffee are similar prices but benefit is other currencies are much stronger so you get value for money as a tourist. The climate is Sydney is mostly good too. Only gets coolish in June and July and humid in January and February but not unbearable like the tropics. It can rain for days though. Heavy consistent rain. Sounds similar to what they experienced. Traffic is bad there and Melbourne which is much colder. Been freezing lately. Meal sizes at 5 star restaurants are always smaller being based on presentation and flavours of gourmet cooking. You pay for the experience as they said. The service, the view etc. At pubs and cafes meal portions are larger but nothing like American sizes. Mostly $A20 to $30 in smaller cities and can add 50% to that for Sydney. Still in $US that’s $12,$20 and $30, so good value. Australia has 100’s of craft breweries and some of the best wine grown in the world. Very good quality very reasonably priced around $A20.
Thanks Tonia, They were a lovely couple and their excitement about Sydney and being in Australia was contagious, makes me want to go and explore Sydney and I live here LOL!😄
Lol I love that! I know that feeling. When people are excited about something you wanna go share in the excitement cuz sometimes we take things for granted ❤️
Those places are my neighborhood. I live in a 12th floor apartment in the city. I have sat in many of the seats they sat in, walked along the same streets. I see the same views as a normal part of my daily life. You never tire of it. It is special. One thing I can never understand is people who go to the outside of the Opera House, but don't go inside. There is always so much happening there. It is a cultural center with everything from plays, to concerts, music, and of course opera. Then there are the tours where you can go underneath the performance venues and see all the rehearsal spaces, the green rooms, and production facilities. It is the inside that is most fascinating, but so many people never go inside to find out.
Honestly I didn’t even know they had all that in there. They don’t really advertise the opera house here. Other than showing the beautiful view of it. Which is a shame cuz if there’s tours and stuff then we should definitely know about it so we know to go lol.
@@ToniaElkins This UA-cam video shows views of some of what is inside the Opera House. It gives a good idea of the many venues it houses: It is called What Is Inside The Sydney Opera House? ua-cam.com/video/iuh5IC-VjuA/v-deo.htmlsi=R0zhuPuY535HFLMg Additionally you can get a feeling for the flavor of the Opera House with this song by Tim Minchen written to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the building.
@@ToniaElkinsEvery time I try to post links to Opera House videos they mysteriously vanish. So I will give you the video names for you to search for yourself. First there is an excellent video called What's Inside The Sydney Opera House? by Jared Owen which gives animated views through the building. You can see how it is an underground complex. There is also the 50th anniversary song. The video is called Play It Safe | Sydney Opera House 50th Anniversary which gives a good feeling of what the place is all about.
Tonia, if you ever come to Australia, explore the food! Aussies absolutely love our fresh produce and so do our chefs, so they take great care to present it well and make sure it’s full of flavour! Forget fast food franchises.
29:43 One thing we are never told but our meal times are made around. the stomach has to fully digest before it drops. Anything vegetable is about 1 hour. anything meat is 4 hours. Sardines in oil can be up to 9 hours to digest. If you stack up too soon you stretch your stomach. A stretched stomach makes you feel hungry sooner. Food for thought.
3:16 I think I would like small towns better. I remember watching an old Australian tv show. The bloke fires up his car sits in it so it warms up and then drives over the road to get milk and a news paper then drives back over the road again. Brisbane is too big a city for me and my home town is getting to big now. The first sign it is too big is all the sirens of emergency vehicles.
G'day Tonia, Australia has way more to offer than just a opera house and an overgrown coat hanger as I'm sure you're aware? The way you want to do your trip is perfect, see Oz the way Oz is. You should come down soon?
Australia has great wines, great beers, ales and pilsners, as well as Guinness! We also have great dairy products, delicious honeys, fresh tropical fruits in summer including mangoes, peaches, nectarines, plums, oranges and citrus, grapes, tropical fruits such as starfruit, dragonfruit, lychees and rambutans, etc. All of our fresh produce is amazing!
The weirdest thing about that revolving restaurant is that you get up to go the bathroom and when you come back you can’t find your seat as it’s moved around to a new spot 😂😂
Another Channel you might be interested in is called 'One Pack Wanderers' , they are an American couple travelling the world, they are in Australia ATM(2nd time). their videos on average are a bit over 20 minutes.
I had lunch there when I met my wife on Christmas Day... that's where we had Christmas Lunch.. 1984.. yes a long time ago and I lived in Sydney for 46 years.. I know it like the back of my hand and hate a lot of it now due to the people...
@@Waitomo64 I seem to hear that kinda often that Sydney isn’t what it used to be. Which is unfortunate. But I’m not a city girl anyway so I’d be happy to spend a day there and then move on to nature lol. I was 3 years old in 1984! Lol. I miss the 80s & simpler times.
@@ToniaElkins it's changed and I moved to a rural property outside Brisbane... snakes etc!!! we just walk around them...!!! Sydney is nice to visit, live... another choice.. me I want to move back to NZ.. yes I come from where the caves are... and Raglan beach is Awesome!!!! ye wanna talk I can...
15:34 In the city I get the map and compass out. The phone updates so slow. In the bush years ago my x girlfriend she was breaking branches and stacking rocks. I said what are you doing? Making a trail and I said nah you just notice something different about a tree or a rock, different land an soil you know where you are and how to get out. Th city looks all the same.

They are decent size actually it’s just the plates they serve on they are so big that they look small.. am Like you visit the big city for day and that’s it am out of there I can’t handle so many poeple in one spot. I live 2.5 hours from Sydney on the edge of the blue mountains surrounding by huge national parks and bush love it.. can drive in any direction and have the most awesome views in Australia.. 😊🥰🇦🇺
My Kelvin (cat) he is always around me and getting in the way of the computer screen, touching keys on the keyboard. He sometimes shuts the computer down. They are annoying but they are cute.
Most restaurants will place the napkin on your lap, or at the very least, unfold it and hand it to you, if physical limitations make it awkward to place it for you.
18:56 Not so amazing that the waiter was Swedish. It is amazing that they are from the same area. I got served by a waitress and I said to her I can't pick your accent. She said she was Swedish. When I played rugby union we had a Swedish bloke in our team. I went to university and had a Swedish bloke and a girl in my classes. My Great Grandmother came from Malmo Sweden.
If you like these types of videos , check out this one . Two unforgettable days on Australia's great ocean road. The scenery is world class and the people making the blog are really charismatic. I was so inspired I took my wife on the same trip for her birthday. You are so correct about the portions . Its almost like american restaurants over compensate by making the portions huge . Australian restaurants go for exceptional quality . This place is pretty up market but not as expensive as it could be. The cat is fine . 😉
They visit a lot of Asian countries and many of them you can't drink tap water, that is why they said that. It's to do with areas of countries where old plumbing was never changed.
If too many ppl make you anxious, best bet you would love Tasmania (the island state of Australia), i live there and its way quiet and laid back, and plenty or forests and waterfalls, look it up. That beer isn't dark also its not the true Tasmanian beer, Cascade Draught is, and you can only get it in Hobart, the capital of Tasmania.
I live in Sydney, and I've watched their video before... but the ferry ride from their hotel location to Circular Quay was completely unnecessary... You can easy walk between those 2 locations.... they actually had to go way out of their way to get to their ferry stop.... LOL
Does Wales have varying accents? Cuz he sounds a little different than others I’ve heard from Wales. Like do the areas closer to England sound more English?
@@ToniaElkins Wales does have varying accents, there are a lot of welsh and English (Poms) people here in Perth. Some from the north of Wales sound a little like a Merseyside accent.
Sydney CBD gets busy at lunch time and after 5pm when the corporate workers are on the streets. Otherwise it’s nowhere near as hectic as NYC because Sydney’s population is so much less than NYC. In fact, the state of New York has 19.6 million. The whole of Australia has 26 million, with Sydney and its suburban sprawl having just 5 million. Waking around Sydney, you’re not even bumping shoulders with people, as you can see in the videos of these two. Plus Australia is very safe! You’re not going to be killed in a drive- by shooting because we aren’t carrying guns.
I am not being awful here it’s just that , I don’t think these guys aren’t on a budget here but they are staying an eating in the most expensive part of Sydney. I live in Perth but came here 36 years ago from Sydney and I have close family in Sydney and yes there are a huge amount of people not only in the Sydney Centre but you can go an hour from Sydney and it’s still to me very crowded. I definitely don’t miss it but it’s nice to see family and that is the only reason I go back to Sydney. 🇦🇺🤷♀️
People clicked off because of the cat??? WTF!! Just why? They’d hate my channel then, I’ve given up trying to work around my dogs’ snoring or when my cat is charging around the house like a loony, coz I’d never get any content out 😂😂😂😂
In regard to the opera house. The roof (sails) if separately taken off and assembled together would form a sphere. The aussies who complained about your cat probably did so because cats , both domestic and wild are responsible for the extinction of most of our small species. Therefore most aussies have a poor opinion of cats in general. Some local councils will fine owners who let there feline friends roam instead of keeping them in secure caged runs when not inside.
Aussies like to call Poms whingers but in actual fact it's us that are the biggest petty whingers. If you don't do or say or pronounce anything the same as us then every man woman child and their dog will let you know. Quite embarrassing really. It doesn't matter if we can't pronounce anything the way it should be, look out if you dare try and correct us. It's our way or no way.
@@FromTheGong Well they can keep thinking that way. And I’ll keep saying Emooo like every other American 😂😂 People not from here will say a lot of our states and cities wrong too but I don’t go nuts over it lol.
@@ToniaElkins For all we know we could be the ones who pronounce it wrong. It's not spelt emyoo or emue. I live in Wollongong, a coastal city south of Sydney, pronounced wool long gong. You'd be surprised how many Aussies mispronounce and misspell it. A lot of the suburbs here are Aboriginal names and you should here some of the interpretations even by news readers. To make it easier we just call it The Gong, from the Gong. Anyway stay well stay yourself and give your animals a pet for me, your cat looks very much like my Sabre I grew up with as a kid.
Avocados are fruits full of Green Snot ! lol 🤮They got seriously ripped off for those coffees and a croissant really worth about $10-12. I'm with you about those portions, over $220AU - $170US for that??? They'd been better off going to McDonalds, grabbing a couple of happy meals and going to the top of the tower. They'd certainly be better fed 🤣😋 They really do suit each other 😍❤, there can be no doubt of this.
G'day What you can do is to break the big one's up Many other sites will do it and tell people at start That it'll be broken into two or three sections due to lenght Hope that helps you Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍
Considering U R a Guy Sebatian fan check out the "The emotional response from a Sydney school singing CHOIR?" Not sure what it's called but it is. beautiful.
Hey umm I just watching a n it says which confuses me that Arizona was one time not part of the United states . LoL. Was part of the Cival War . LoL. I don't know sorry . Can you verify why is that.

That bird is an Ibis, they’re waterbirds but lost their habitat during the years of drought and found their way to the coast where there are rivers and ponds.
... also known as "bin chicken".
It's a ibis, (Bin chicken) and we have here on the west coast too.

I'm not a cat person, either, but I like your "cat lives here, you don't" /LOL
😆❤️
He has a Welsh accent, her accent is a bit of a mixture or Swedish & Welsh.
Does Wales have varying accents? Cuz he sounds a little different than others I’ve heard from Wales. Like do the areas closer to England sound more English?
@@ToniaElkins Wales does have varying accents, there are a lot of welsh and English (Poms) people here in Perth. Some from the north of Wales sound a little like a Merseyside accent.
She's from Sweden and he's from Wales in the UK.
30:50 Yeah top couple. I bet they will stay.
Sydney CBD gets busy at lunch time and after 5pm when the corporate workers are on the streets. Otherwise it’s nowhere near as hectic as NYC because Sydney’s population is so much less than NYC. In fact, the state of New York has 19.6 million. The whole of Australia has 26 million, with Sydney and its suburban sprawl having just 5 million. Waking around Sydney, you’re not even bumping shoulders with people, as you can see in the videos of these two. Plus Australia is very safe! You’re not going to be killed in a drive- by shooting because we aren’t carrying guns.
I am not being awful here it’s just that , I don’t think these guys aren’t on a budget here but they are staying an eating in the most expensive part of Sydney. I live in Perth but came here 36 years ago from Sydney and I have close family in Sydney and yes there are a huge amount of people not only in the Sydney Centre but you can go an hour from Sydney and it’s still to me very crowded. I definitely don’t miss it but it’s nice to see family and that is the only reason I go back to Sydney. 🇦🇺🤷♀️
We had Mr beast no 1 UA-camr yesterday in Sydney at the Opera House giving away 10 cars. Some guy won a Lamborghini.
Sleep 14 hours? I don't do that in week!
People clicked off because of the cat??? WTF!! Just why? They’d hate my channel then, I’ve given up trying to work around my dogs’ snoring or when my cat is charging around the house like a loony, coz I’d never get any content out 😂😂😂😂
Lmao same! And not only did they leave the video but they called Cody the cat a Vermin 😂😂
@@ToniaElkins seriously!! Clearly they have issues 😂😂😂
Fine dining you pay a lot and don't get much. It's about the experience not to fill you up.
if I was a tourist visiting Aust. I certainly would not visit A CITY> wHY would you do THAT. . IT IS A PARADISE THAT TIME FORGOT.
Can CODY make some videos please LOL
In regard to the opera house. The roof (sails) if separately taken off and assembled together would form a sphere. The aussies who complained about your cat probably did so because cats , both domestic and wild are responsible for the extinction of most of our small species. Therefore most aussies have a poor opinion of cats in general. Some local councils will fine owners who let there feline friends roam instead of keeping them in secure caged runs when not inside.
Aussies like to call Poms whingers but in actual fact it's us that are the biggest petty whingers. If you don't do or say or pronounce anything the same as us then every man woman child and their dog will let you know. Quite embarrassing really. It doesn't matter if we can't pronounce anything the way it should be, look out if you dare try and correct us. It's our way or no way.
😂 Like when I say emu in my American accent
@@ToniaElkins Exactly. Unfortunately a lot of Australians have the attitude do as I say not as I do.
@@FromTheGong Well they can keep thinking that way. And I’ll keep saying Emooo like every other American 😂😂 People not from here will say a lot of our states and cities wrong too but I don’t go nuts over it lol.
@@ToniaElkins For all we know we could be the ones who pronounce it wrong. It's not spelt emyoo or emue. I live in Wollongong, a coastal city south of Sydney, pronounced wool long gong. You'd be surprised how many Aussies mispronounce and misspell it. A lot of the suburbs here are Aboriginal names and you should here some of the interpretations even by news readers. To make it easier we just call it The Gong, from the Gong.
Anyway stay well stay yourself and give your animals a pet for me, your cat looks very much like my Sabre I grew up with as a kid.
Avocados are fruits full of Green Snot ! lol 🤮They got seriously ripped off for those coffees and a croissant really worth about $10-12. I'm with you about those portions, over $220AU - $170US for that??? They'd been better off going to McDonalds, grabbing a couple of happy meals and going to the top of the tower. They'd certainly be better fed 🤣😋
They really do suit each other 😍❤, there can be no doubt of this.
$170 USD is a great price for a fancy dining experience
@@ToniaElkins Give me fish& chips in a park anyday lol
@@wholiddleolme476 🤣
@@ToniaElkinsit’s a great price for that quality of food. Plus, that’s the actual full price as there’s no additional tax or tipping required.
G'day
What you can do is to break the big one's up
Many other sites will do it and tell people at start
That it'll be broken into two or three sections due to lenght
Hope that helps you
Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍
Considering U R a Guy Sebatian fan check out the "The emotional response from a Sydney school singing CHOIR?" Not sure what it's called but it is. beautiful.
Hey umm I just watching a n it says which confuses me that Arizona was one time not part of the United states . LoL. Was part of the Cival War . LoL. I don't know sorry . Can you verify why is that.
Well the states started as the Colonies. There were 13 originally. So, much of the states weren’t states in the beginning.
Arizona was part of Mexico and then became a territory of the US then a state.
Wow ! There ya go hey !!
