I've been all over the world throughout my life and Australia never fails to amaze me every time I immerse myself in it, genuinely among some of the most pristine places I've gotten the chance to visit.
That’s awesome you’ve been so much! Where’s some of your favorite regions of Australia?
@@RyanShirley My favorite area of Australia EASILY goes to its tropical northern coast, perhaps some of the most underrated tropical beauty on the planet. The ecosystems and low population, paired with the scenery itself are just mindboggling. Imagine Southern Florida (Everglades/keys) but before humans built and populated all over and on it, that's northern Australia for you.
Awesome. Yesrs ago some (crazy) rock climbers on Ball's Pyramid discovered a tiny colony of special crickets that had been extinct for 75 years on Lord Howe. With the rats now gone, the crickets are back. A rare success story where a nearly extinct species comes back from the brink.
I thought it was so fascinating that those stick crickets were found on balls pyramid! They are such bizarre insects, I’m so happy they were brought back from extinction!
The Lord Howe Stick Insect, or "tree lobster" is amazing!
As someone who has done the drive from Sydney to Perth, there and back, I'd recommend it highly but take your time. We did 6 weeks drive there and 1 week drive back. The 6 weeks was following the coast the whole way, ducking inland for national parks such as Vic high country, Wilson's promontory, Grampians, Flinders ranges and Stirling range, highly recommend. The 1 week drive back was 6hrs driving every day and done to just get home, it's a very long way if you do it day after day.
I feel so lucky to be Australian & live in this beautiful country….. still so much 2 explore in my massive backyard…. Thx 4 sharing couple more places 2 put on my list😎
Wonderful view!
Your footage is always gorgeous! Australia is at the top of my bucket list especially bc of the wildlife and the underwater scenery and I can’t wait to visit someday.
Thanks so much! There’s truly no shortage of incredible landscapes and coast in Australia, hope you can visit soon ☺️🇦🇺🦘
Australia is amazing!!
great video as always Ryan! Australia seems like a country full of beautiful landscapes, it's definitely on my bucket list along with New Zealand and I hope to visit someday!
Thanks so much Amir! Really hope you can visit Australia and New Zealand soon
Lord Howe is magical...
As locals who have travelled a great deal in Australia.
I love your storytelling: in a calm voice and how you include amazing photogenic scenes and sceneries
Thanks so much! Is there any place you’d like to see a video on?
Amazing video absolutely breathtaking ❤❤ Thanks for sharing.
Thanks friend
Such an amazing overview. Thank you 🙏🫶
Thanks so much! So happy you enjoyed it 🇦🇺🦘
Stoked you made it to Australia. I've been looking forward to your Australian top 10 and it was worth the wait! Those shots of Balls Pyramid are insane. I'm definitely adding Lord Howe and Tasmania to the top of my bucket list. Next time you will have to come back for a Western Australia top 10 😉
Thanks so much brother! You’d love ball’s pyramid, I only had like 5 minutes to fly since the captain didn’t want the passengers waiting but I’d love to go back on a private boat for sunset or something and have more time. I’m so stoked you could help out with the Esperance footage! You’ll have to show me around Western Australia next time!
@@RyanShirley thanks for the kind words in your video! For sure mate. Would love to show you around WA next time!
I am so glad you came to our beautiful country. I am sure you found out how big it is! On your next trip I would recommend Kakadu (Northern Territory) and Broome (Western Australia) as two good options. I have never been to them but I know many people who have and I would love to go when I get the chance. Another great place that I have been to is Wilson's Promontory (Victoria). The 20km walk to Sealer's Cove and back is recommended. I have done it a few times. You can do it all in a day (about 6-7 hours) or you can camp at the cove and then walk back the next day. The city of Melbourne is a great place to visit too. It has been voted the world's most liveable city on many occasions.
Thanks so much Anthony! When I return I gotta visit your recommendations. I’d love to visit Broome
Always amazed by your finds. Gave me some nostalgia, hope to be back at some point.
Thanks so much Dario! I loved your recent Morocco film, so many incredible shots especially of Ait Benhaddou. What parts of Australia did you visit?
@@RyanShirley Thanks a lot for checking :) i did all the land spots you did too. Didn´t do any islands apart from the ones in whitsundays. But the south west was my favorite part :)
Mr. Shirley you are a true wonder from down under! 🙏🏼
Haha looking for the elusive purple snake 🐍
Beautiful country and scenery... My favourite place is the blue mountains , Three sisters, it was absolutely magical when i went there 😍
Thanks Dave!! The blue mountains are such a incredible and unique place
@@RyanShirley Exactly.. And there is never a bad time to visit.. When i went it was snowing and misty , So beautiful
Absolutely loved your work❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much friend 🇦🇺☺️
Wow! This video just blows your mind! Great job with editing and music selection. I just can't tear myself away from this amazing spectacle🌞🌞🌞💯🔝
Thanks friend!
This is beautiful! I need to visit Australia! ❤
Great trip around our beautiful country 🙌
I’ve seen a lot of Australian and still have so much more to see. But my favorite place in Aus is Wilson’s Prom National park in Victoria 🙌❤️
Thanks so much mate! I’ll have to check out Wilson’s Promotory National park next time
Good To See You Bro
Astonishing places Ryan!! And beautifully filmed and mounted!! 👏👏👏👏
Thanks so much guys! Hope you can visit Australia soon
@@RyanShirley Hope too.. that would be fantastic 😊😊
Awsome guide brother! Love it! Hope to get back to Australia one day ❤
Thanks so much Klaus! You’d love it! Got any epic trips planned for this summer?
@@RyanShirley going to Naples next week to see Pompei and perhaps the US start May - and no crazy plans so far for the summer! Where’s your next adventure? 😄
Thank you, I love your work!
Thanks so much brother!
Great video, great choices. As an Aussie who has been to all of those places, I would agree,. Glad to see Lord Howe Island in there - it is my favourite Australian Island (though not cheap to get to ,thanks to Qantas, or to stay on).
Thanks so much Craig! I agree, the flight and hotels in Lord Howe isnt cheap 😅 but the beauty is worth the price! What part of Australia are you from?
A great follow-up to your recent New Zealand tour. Australia is one of my favorite places, though its distance even from California makes it a less frequent place to go than I would like. The wombats of Tasmania really are great. Speaking of cute Australian mammals, did you go to Rat Island and to see the quokkas? They only like there and are famously cute, almost a cartoon animal. That was really dedicated going out to Lord Howe Island, a place i have never heard of. As usual, it's always great to get a new video from your travels.
Thanks so much John! Since I was so close in New Zealand I had to go to Australia as well. I didn’t see any Quokkas but I’ll have to visit Rat Island next time. And you’d really love Lord Howe, easily one of my favorite places I’ve ever been. So peaceful and absolutely beautiful 🇦🇺🏝️
Rottnest Island - not Rat Island
@@jenimcniven8704 Thank you! I should have looked it up rather than trust my memory - it's been a while since I was there.
@@John_Fugazzi
You were half right.....Rottnest is Dutch for rat nest.
@@AUmarcus Yes, the Dutch mistakenly thought Quokkas were rats.
Great video Ryan ! thanks mate
Thanks so much brother! You could make some great videos in Australia
@@RyanShirley thanks 👍on day i will ;)
Aloha from Idaho Ryan. Looked you up just now... Thoroughly enjoyed this brand new Australian video that took my breath away. The natural beauty. The white sand beaches. That lap pool! Having lived 7 summers in Honolulu, it was always such a pleasure to meet those beautiful Australian people. Who speak English!
Thanks so much Phil! Wow that’s awesome you lived seven summers in Hawaii! I can’t think of a better place to spend the summers
15 summers in Hawaii, the other 8 on Maui (in Lahaina) where it was rare to meet an Australian. After writing you, then took a look at your Croatia video, had no idea! It's really a beautiful world, and you Ryan have become an EARTH EXPERT!
Lord Howe island is my absolute favourite place ❤❤❤ but other must visit places are Ningaloo Reef, Karijini National Park and anywhere in the Kimberley all in Western Australia
Lord Howe truly is amazing! Ok babe to visit Kimberley and Karjini next time. Are you from Australia?
Great recomendations 👍🏼
Thanks friend!
BRUTAL TOP TOP TOP BROTHER !!! MEGA VIDEO !
Thanks so much Michal! Hope you can visit Australia soon
Ryan, water color is vibrantly gorgeous.
The water there is on another level!
As a Perth resident, I can confirm that the water is genuinely that color. It's absolutely stunning.
Great video! Currently travelling around Australia and sharing my adventures too!
Awesome, what parts of Australia are you visiting?
@@RyanShirleywe left Sydney in November, now we’re near Perth. Heading North before looping back round to Sydney. We have about 5 months left on this trip :)
Awesome video!!!
For part 2 you should look at Kakadu National Park, Ningaloo roof, lake eyre and flinders range, bungle bungles
I’ll have to add them for part 2 😁
This is such an awesome video Ryan! In general your videos is so good 💪I've always wanted to visit Australia, I hope I can go someday. It looks like you had a great time. Thanks for sharing man 🙌
Thanks so much brother! Hope you can visit Australia soon. Where are you from?
@@RyanShirley I’m from Denmark ☺️ you are from USA right?
Me and my family make sure we visit Australia every year, the whole atmosphere of its coastline is wild but serene all at once. One of my favorite places in the world!
Ah that’s awesome you go annually! Where’s some of your favorite places there?
@@RyanShirley Grand Pacific drive for sure! Tasmania is also one of the most unique experiences one could ask for, it reminds me of the African savannah.
make sure to take a drive to the snowy mountains next time, along the Great Alpine Road. they were mostly created by the deformation of New Zealand as the pacific plate forced up masses of earth to form the peaks of Australia. Amazing vid.
I’d love to check out the mountains and the highest peak in Australia next time
Amazing video Ryan and welcome to the land down under 🦘🦘
I can definitely suggest some great spots for your next visit within the New South Wales state where I live:
- Jervis Bay & Booderee National Park (best white sand beaches in the state)
- Nelson Bay & climbing to the top of Mt Tomaree
- Pagoda country north-west from Blue Mountains for amazing rock formations
+ 1 amazing National Park in Victoria -> Wilsons Promontory
+ You must go back to Tasmania and climb Mt Amos (or book a scenic flight) to experience breathtaking view over the Wineglass Bay!
btw. Are you still in Australia?
Thanks so much brother! You got a great channel and videos on Australia. I really wish I climbed Mt Amos! Is that where your profile pic is from? Looks amazing
@@RyanShirley Thanks mate, much appreciated especially coming from someone who inspires millions of people to travel the planet. Your videos helped me to have most amazing time in Dolomites last year.
And yes, my profile photo is from Mt Amos summit and a channel banner is Bay of Fires, another amazing spot you need to stop by if you decide to come back to Tasmania!
Beautiful Australia 🇦🇺..!!
Such a beautiful country!
Love to see Aussie drone footage, love living in Australia❤
Thanks mate!! What part of Australia are you from?
@RyanShirley I'm from Canberra but selling and moving out soon to go and travel. Family moved up to Gold Coast Hinterland. Are you still in Aussie?
Happy Sunday My Bro
just WOW! 🤩
Thanks friend! Truly a amazing country
It just seems too great... I hope I can visit this beautiful country some day!
Australia is waiting for you ☺️🦘🇦🇺
Well done. Good to see Queensland featured heavily 🤙🏻
Thanks brother! I’ll have to make a video just on Queensland eventually
I spent 15 months in a camper, mostly Qld. Love the place. amazing birdlife. something like 670 species. You cant rush Oz. 5 years in a camper might do it :)
Amazing!
Thanks mate! Such a amazing land
G'day Ryan.
Next visit head over to the Flinders Ranges.
Love your videos.😊
Wow I just looked it up and the mountains are incredible! I’ll have to visit it next time
love your videos
Thanks so much Evan!
amazing places😍😍
Good picks... one of my favorite place is Fraser Island (biggest sand Island in the world)
Thanks for sharing your great travel video! Fantastic Australia 🥰 The nature is sooo amazing! And the super cute kangaroo 🦘Really happy to see you were in Australia! Did you meet koala 🦥? Warm greetings from Indonesia 👋
Thanks so much friend! I didn’t see any Koalas on this trip, but I’ll have to find some for part 2 🐨
They’re a threatened species and you’ll be hard pressed to even meet an Australian who’s see one in the wild. I’ve been fortunate a few times, even once in my back garden but they are rare. Guaranteed sightings on Kangaroo Island in South Australia and some key spots on the great ocean road in Victoria though you may be lucky all along the east coast
@@RyanShirley Brisbane, Lone Pine Sancturary, you can get a photo cuddling one.
Such A Beautiful Country Australia 🇦🇺 Bro
Thanks so much Bibek! Truly a wonder
Could probably make 100 videos on this place
I’ll have to do a bunch more videos of Australia!
@@RyanShirley can I come too?
love it thanks!
I’m stoked you liked it!
Super adventure❤
Thanks Monika
Amazing, Ryan !!!!! 🙂🙂
Thanks so much brother! Congrats on reaching 3 million views 🥳
Big thanks Bro 🍻
Não adjetivos que possa tentar qualificar a grandeza e a riqueza dessas imagens belíssima. É de tirar fôlego, é surpreendente e admirável ver e complementar tantas imagens incríveis. Parabéns sempre, grandioso trabalho. 👏 Brasil, São Paulo.
Thanks so much friend! It’s hard to describe Australia’s beauty with words!
Amazing video!
Thanks so much friend!
Love your videos, so professional :-) Im australian and always watch your videos in Europe. I don't understand however how you can put a top 10 to a country just shy of the size of the US. You do realise our country is that big? I have lived in Queensland my whole life and would love to see the rest of OZ. Not sure you went there, but Mossman Gorge & Port Douglas north of Cairns before cape trib, its one of my favourite places. The tablelands in the north and the waterfalls south of cairns. Also off the Gold Coast is lamington/springbrook national park. The Sunshine Coast hinterland, Noosa and Frazer Island is one of our big tourist destinations as well. Then numerous Islands off the Great Barier Reef that aren't even near Cairns. This may not be on a top 10 list, but if you really want to see places in Queensland that are a little different and understand the culture and vastness. Id suggest Cooktown, Torres Strait Islands, remote communities, inland ouback country areas. Just coming from a good place as I worked in tourism for queensland for many years and grew up in Cairns, Brisbane 12 years, now on the Goldy. I'd suggest North Western Australia as well, massive country, much to see.
Thanks so much friend for your kind words and recommendations of places to go! I gotta return and visit them, I’ll have to do a film specifically on Queensland
So cool
Thank you ☺️🇦🇺
Awesome video mate! Just letting you know when you identify Mt Beerwah at 3:53, the video is actually displaying Mt Tiberogargan which is over 100 meters shorter than Beerwah. The mountain in the background at 3:39 is really Beerwah. Cheers though mate, great video again!
Thanks brother!! My mistake about Mt Beerwah 🤦🏼 wish I had your help while making the video. Are you from Australia?
@@RyanShirley I sure am mate! I’m in glass house right now
Great country，nice people！
Good job!
Wow Great Work! :)
Thanks friend! ☺️🇦🇺🦘
Great video as usual! are you planning to do top 10 for Canada?
Thanks brother! I’ll try to do it someday, maybe this year or next
Wow. Great job. Didn't realize Australia was so gorgeous, but I guess it's probably as expensive to visit as it is gorgeous. I'll have to look around your channel and see what other places you've filmed. New Zealand? Chile? The rest of the planet? Lol. I'm currently road tripping around California. Hope to find some equally gorgeous places around the world that aren't so crime-ridden and expensive when I head out on world travels ..
I just did a film on New Zealand as well! I’ll try to visit Chile later this year
@@RyanShirley Hey! Surprised to hear from you. I'd have thought you would have been jumping off a cliff somewhere! Thanks for letting me know. I will look for those. Great work!
Dude, this is amazing ❤❤❤❤❤. I've got to say, is this your first Australia video and visit?
Thanks brother! Yes my first time, I already want to go back!
🎉🎉🎉 very beautiful 🎉🎉🎉thank you 🎉🎉🎉
I’m just thankful you watched 🇦🇺🦘
I went to outback steakhouse yesterday...... So its a start 🤷🏻♂️ 😂😂👌🏻👌🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺 deff on my bucket list
Haha that’s a great start 🦘 did you get that yummy fried onion dish? 🧅🇦🇺
Curious what film gear you have for your travels?
Very interesting
Thanks brother!!
On myyyyy way
You’re going to have a great time!
Australia. I’ll be there someday
Such a beautiful land
Hey mate, Great video of Australia top 10 - except you completely forgot South Australia, kangaroo island, Barossa valley , Adelaide, Adelaide hills, Riverland region. Hope you can come back & finish the top places. Cheers
Thanks Phil! I gotta add south Australia in part 2! You recommend some incredible places
SA is the worst in the country nothing special over there east and north east Aus parts are the best.But overall Aus is overrated most of the country is boring,pointless drives with endless dual scenery.
9:35 I see what you did there 😂
Haha I’m so glad you noticed it! Put that in at like 3 am this morning 😅🐨
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
my parents went to australia last october, but sadly i couldnt come because i was in my first months of university. its so far away from me here in the uk, i hope ill get the chance to go soon because this place is incredible
Ah dang! I hope you can go soon, what parts did they visit?
@@RyanShirley they went to cairns (and went to the great barrier reef and the rainforest), brisbane and sydney
nice
Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
keep sending people to Bondi ty
Of course 😅
Saves the other hundred for the locals
As a 33yo Australian unfamiliar with your channel, I clicked on this video expecting it to miss out on some of the best (in my opinion) places in the country.
Not only were my top picks (such as Whitehaven Beach and Daintree Rainforest) in there, but I had never even heard of Ronny Creek or Cape Huay. Now I'm looking into Tasmania for my next family holiday. Well done for exploring the real Australia and not the cities!
By the way, the drive from Sydney to Perth is immensely boring, unless you went right around the coast of Victoria and South Australia which has some great overnight stays, and I would not recommend it to anyone who can fly instead.
Ah that makes me so happy to hear! You’ll move those places in Tasmania especially cradle mountain! What part of Australia are you from?
Tasmanian here. I go to Cradle once or twice a year. Ronny Creek is the second last shuttle bus stop before Dove Lake which is in front of the Cradle. I visit Ronny Creek every time as wombats are guaranteed. Best to catch them around 8-10am or later in the afternoon. Cape Huay is on the Tasman Peninsula. Highly recommend overnighting near the Port Arthur settlement, doing the Pennicott Wilderness Cruise departing from Stewart's Bay, next door to Port Arthur, and exploring these waterways. The coastline there is amazing. This area is a whale spotting area in the right season, so a good idea to visit when they are migrating, between May and December. I think I did it in October and I saw whales.
Great places see there amazing view but sad could not be said for the history of indigenous that were hunted till extinction there
@@danielsonn3046 The current Tasmanian Aboriginal people would question your 'hunted till extinction' narrative. Their culture is alive and well, as are they.
@@carokat1111 all the aboriginals in Tasmania are all descendants from the original Tasmania Aboriginals there are no original Tasmania full bloods left there, if you see a fullblood there their family came from the mainland and yes I know the culture is still alive but alot of it is lost
My beautiful country :)
What part of Australia are you from?
Melbourne has more people than Syd now, also with Cairns in pronounced like "cans". Nice video bro
Thanks so much brother! Wish I had your help when making the video.
Don't ask me how, half of Vic has moved to QLD the last few years haha
As a tasmanian I apriciate you put us on the list haha
Of course!! What part of Tasmania are you from?
@@RyanShirley 30 minutes south below Hobart, I have been to the top of Cradle Mountain amazing aye.
Australia is the other name of paradise
It really is paradise!
Melbourne(Pronounced Melbun) is the most populous city, it overtook Sydney last year
Wombats are cool.. underated Australian animal
I agree! Such amazing animals
Ryan please do South America!
I’ll try to do Argentina and Chile next
@@RyanShirley love it! Cheers!
when you stop at exactly 2:00 minutes, are those sharks?
I think they were dolphins 🐬
I have met some Aboriginals in south Australia said that they eat wombat make it into a stew
Melbourne is our biggest city 🌆
너무 멋있다!!
Thanks friend!
Awesome video of my beautiful country Ryan. Sorry to correct you on this but "Uluru" is pronounced oo•lah•roo and "Esperance" is pronounced eh•spuh•ruhns - (rance)
Thanks so much! My mistakes regarding the pronunciations🤦🏼😅 wish I had your help while doing the voiceover
Skip the Gold Coast and go to Stradbroke Island instead.
Come back again soon legend!
Thanks brother! Are you from Australia?
@@RyanShirley I am mate. I live in Perth and go down to Esperance a bit, so I was stoked to see you went down there!
I’m heading to Europe for 3 months in summer so have found your videos super helpful!
Where are you from mate? I’ve been trying to work out your accent!
Hi, Ryan We love your content Please Do an India video as well..❤
I’ll try to come to India soon!
10 ya reckon
Melbourne is currently the largest city in Australia, not second.
My mistake on that, your correct!
so pretty
Thank you!
Melbourne is bigger than Sydney now
Yeah this video shows everything here, there’s not much else. Wouldn’t recommend tourist coming here not much to see 🤫
