People move to Australia and Sydney for a better life, with 5 Australian cities ranked in the top 20, why is it such a liveable place to live. We are spending time to Sydney to see why people want to move there and what makes it such a great place to live! We explore the city, the beaches, the coffee and the lifestyle that makes up Sydney, and see whether or not this is place we might actually move to...
I love this video thank you so much

Many tourists think I've seen Sydney so I've seen Australia but believe me they've barely even scratched the surface of what Australia has to offer. Yes beaches are nice but there's SO much more to Australia than just beaches and city views. To see Australia properly will take you an entire lifetime and a most enjoyable lifetime it will be. In Australia we work to live and we never live for work well we can't for our labor laws dictate how we work and live.

Im in my 60's, lived most of my life in australia, lived on the Northern Beaches for years including Manly, and i have hardly EVER seen anyone walking around in bare feet except at the beach! I dont know why people bang on about bare feet!!?????

RE tractor in sand: the council uses tractors to run catchers and rakes across the sand early in the morning to remove rubbish and dead sea life and anything that’s washed up really
Edit: the red Westpac helicopter looks for sharks or swimmers (or both) it’s a rescue chopper

I live in a small township south of Sydney. Serene and calming. Best beaches are not in Sydney.

We definitely don't walk around in shops barefoot... It's rarely done and not a cultural thing.

That's the ground not the floor... FYI that bird is called a Pluver... Loud and can be aggressive if u get near its nest. I lived in Manly 70s-90 till it got too crowded till I did what everyone else does which was move to Lennox Heads. Coooo-gee is not how u pronounce it its more Could-gee

8 out of 10 for safety, because it is a big city? For a big city, Sydney is quite safe and should get 10 out of 10.

It's only 24 hours from your family. Easy!
@ColinMoffatMate MARRY HER!
@optout5350Shut up about coffee !!!!.. it's a toxin...test green smoothies
@lisaalexander1824Lived in Aus for 15 years, 8 in Sydney. Was glad to see the back of the place. It's expensive, and the traffic congestion is insane. You'll spend most of your spare time commuting. Getting to beaches on the weekend is a mission in travel planning. Weekend traffic is worse than weekday traffic. The express lane become parking and every man and his dog who normally commutes by train or bus is in their car trying to go somewhere. And public holidays... forgetaboutit. An exercise in futility trying to get anywhere.
@nzer57Most of us agree that this was the worst summer we ever had, too many rainy days compared to other years
@RossanaRissottoThere is no comparison between the average coffee in Australia and the UK. You can find good coffee in the UK but you've got to look hard for it. Mostly in the UK you find large chains that do very average to poor coffee at about twice the price of coffee in Australia, where as in Australia the coffee seen is dominated by individual businesses and small batch roasters and there is very much an artisanal culture surrounding the roasting as well as the barista skills. And please learn to pronounce Coogee properly - the first vowel is not a long 'oo' sound!!
@richardbradshaw696It actually rains more in Sydney in summer than in winter
@andyg9872Omg thanks I downloaded Nomad and got the 5 dollars discount thanks😊
@itsokhereI grew up in Manly and the penguins have never been in multitudes on the West Esplanade beach.
There is a small colony on the rocky foreshore but you hardly ever see them unless you’re on the water and they’re swimming by you.
Bondi is no where near as nice as Manly, it’s dirty and populated by tourists.
Beach flag zones are not mandatory but the Surf Life Saving Clubs do their best to make you think they are.
The Sydney Rail and Bus network is exceptional and doesn’t really need improvement.
The Bondi shooting was a false flag operation.
Bird, Plover/Masked lapwing...
@R0d_1984Haven't been homesick yet but this vid might just do it
@ncolyergo to Blacktown!!

@joxp6971So funny hearing "floor" being used for the ground.
@melburnianNice video, guys. Why do people think it doesn't rain in Australia? How do you think everything stays green and tropical looking?
@ArmfieldsTravellingDon't walk barefoot. I can't see the upside lol
@dekkyboy100OMG you went straight to Yuppi-ville / Tourist area 😝
@iamawake9847I make me laugh every time you say Coogee 🤣, it pronounced more like Ku-jee or Could-jee. As a few local, will help you out. All part of the fun, great to see you guys enjoying Oz.
@trashbandit2750The problem with Sydney, and Aus in general, at the moment, is the price of housing.
@evanhadkins5532I lived in Sydney for a year back in 2000/2001. It's the best city in the world, if I could I would have stayed.
@BricktopBrickstopPLOVERS
Or the spurred lapwing
Very territorial when nesting, the stuff of many children's trauma lol
👍🏻👍🏻
@Viajero_bokeronAnd yes - the coffee in Australia is the best on earth. Our coffee culture is really surprising!
@phanoonkiSydney rains a heck of a lot! We have a saying "NEVER plan anything outdoors that involve more than a few people'. Why? Because that outdoor BBQ or gathering is 50-80 percent chance of having to be cancelled! We get some periods of 3-7 days straight sunshine but due to low mountain heights the southerly changes are not impeded by topography. This creates super fast shifts from high pressure (sunshine for the most part) to troughs or low pressure systems that roll through. Sometimes the southerly is a swift cooldown (we love those!) most of them are indicators that the next few days will be raining/overcast. Happy travels! P.s - when I visited London it was raining sideways so yeah lol
@phanoonkiahhh!!!! annoying! it is pronounced 'could gee' not coooodgee
@nannanette59It's a totally different place. You can compare it to what you know, but honestly it's not even a comparison. So forget what you know and stop judging it,...and comparing it. Yes it's expansive so is the UK....So judge if rom where it is.
