    Join us on an unforgettable journey down under in this travel documentary. This video captures our entire Australian escapade, beginning with our very first steps in the vibrant city of Sydney. From the iconic Opera House to the stunning views of the Harbour Bridge, Sydney welcomed us with open arms.
    Our adventure didn’t stop there. We hit the road in Ffion the Fiat to discover the natural wonders of the Blue Mountains and Hunter Valley. Each turn on this road trip unfolded a new story, a new landscape, and memories we’ll cherish forever… not to mention some bumps on the road! Nothing some friendly Aussies couldn’t help us out with!
    Our journey continued to the dynamic city of Melbourne. Here, we soaked in the coffee culture that makes Melbourne a must-visit on any traveller’s list.
    This video is a deep dive into the heart of Australia, its landscapes, its cities, and its people. From breathtaking views to cultural experiences, join us as we relive our journey through Australia.

    I wouldn’t listen to a lot of commenters here, you guys did absolutely the right thing. If time pressured and it’s your first ever visit make sure you visit Sydney and Melbourne, and you also had time for a nice road trip to wine country. Save the outback, Tasmania, barrier reef etc for trip #2 or 3. Save Canberra for trip #15

The solution to your van being too high to get into the camping area at Blue Lagoon was hilarious ! The solution was SO Australian !! We do try and make easy solutions to any problem.

    I love your videos! This one is among my favorite.
    I'm an American living in Australia. I lived in Sydney before moving to the Blue Mountains. Just to let you know... if you think that a hotel in Darling Harbour that costs $105 AUD per night is expensive, it's not. It's WAY cheap. The average hotels there and in surrounding areas are about $200 per night on average, so you got a great deal. Australia is very expensive compared to most of the USA, so I guess it's all relative to where you are from if you think it's not expensive. I lived in the UK before and found it was more expensive than most of the USA, too.
    I absolutely love living here (and it's pretty easy figuring things out because I am married to an Australian), but I had huge sticker shock compared to living in the USA. Also, be prepared to have SLOW and expensive mail service if you want to get packages from family back home. Yes, the public transportation is probably the most affordable part of AU. I think you visited some great places, and it's interesting that you found each area had so many differences in the way houses and gardens looked. My husband often says that there are so many people from different countries that live in Sydney, so it doesn't have it's own identity, and we think that's a great thing because it brings so much diversity to Sydney. We also love Melbourne, and are now considering taking the dinner train ride you took the next time we go.
    Thanks for the great video! We love your channel!

    Have you ever scrubbed a potato, poked it with a fork and baked a few of equal size, low for an hour, you can add butter if you want or eat it with stew or soup. Add sour cream or what you like. Check and remove with a thick tea-towel, if done it'll be squishy in the middle. Eat the skin too.. Cold ones can be eaten cold, if left over? Have you got room for an air fryer in you home van? Or a plug in snack oven?
    Have you heard of dry-pan steak? You start it cooking in water, a spoonful, until the fat on it comes out and finishes it cooking. The colour is pretty much grey, but the flavour is amazing. No marinade o anything needed. Did you try our prawns? Just peel them yourself and use shells for stock or throw them out. If you want a sauce like thousand island dressing, put equal amounts of tomato sauce and mayonnaise together and mix.
    I make pizza on two flat breads! Bottom one goes crunchy. Try basil pesto, pink salmon and bocconcini torn up. Or cold cooked chicken chunks with tomato sauce, for the base and mozzarella. Garlic bread is minced garlic from a bottle, thinly sliced mushrooms and mozzarelle on thick rounds cut from a hot-dog bun. The other buns can be split lengthwise, I use fish paste, creamed corn and whatever I want ham, salami, capsicum, then cheese. A bun makes two pizza subs. I use 3 for garlic bread and 3 for pizza. Did you try hawiian pizza in aussie? Or a lot burger with pineapple, a fried egg and pickled beetroot. You can ask for no meat, if you want. Have you tried aussie fish and chips? Go to maccas and get some vegemite, for a sanga lunch if you can't get another lunch?

      Hello!
      Thank you so much for sharing all these fantastic cooking tips and suggestions with us! We absolutely appreciate the ideas, especially those that suit our van life setup. We haven't yet tried making dry-pan steak, but it sounds incredibly flavorful, and we're definitely adding it to our list to try soon. 🍳
      As for the Aussie favorites, we did indulge in some local fish and chips and tried the legendary Aussie burger with all its unique toppings-what an experience! We're always excited to dive into local cuisine wherever we travel. And yes, Hawaiian pizza in Australia was a delightful surprise with its unique twist.
      We love your innovative approach to quick and homemade meals; those pizza subs sound amazing! We might just feature some of these recipes in our upcoming travel vlogs. 🍕🚐
      Keep those suggestions coming, and thanks again for being such an engaging part of our community!

    HELLO YOU TWO LOVE BIRDS watched all your OZ vids. and now watching your compilation. Looks like Aust agreed with you. My Toureag had a habit of locking me out too. next time you should spend more time around Melbourne. Melb is very European very cultural. not as hectic as Syd. the pace is slower. btw after you left Melbourne we had a week of 38c. a little hot. then the rain gave us a visit. you missed out on visiting The Dandenong ranges. Stawell. The Grampians Mt. Arapiles. we planted a Pine plantation around the grampians 70 years ago and now its a beautiful thick forest. Porepunkah., Mount Beauty (sort of Switzerland but a little bit larger) BRIGHT. i CAN IMAGINE you two owning a nice campervan like the Fiat. and spending the rest of your life visinting our BEAUTIFUL LITTLE ISLAND WE CALL HOME the North is in the tropics. meaning it's humid and when it rains IT GETS VERY WET. WE were very lucky to have two such beautiful persons come visit us PL.EASE do not feel strangers. We are waiting for your return WHO KNOWS Perhaps one day you WILL be one of us. ps;. if you ever have a break down someone will always stop to help. WISH you all the happiness for your future (together) And look forward to your next visit God bless

    Regarding parking in Australia.
    1 - You can only park facing the direction of traffic.
    2 - Look for signage as in some places you must park Front in, Rear in, or at an angle. In some places a combination of Front Angle or Rear Angle parking.

    Seems you enjoyed you visit, hope you do come back, maybe next time come to Brisbane, and just get a camper for a few weeks, go down to the gold coast and work your way north from there to the great barrier reef. there's so many things to do in this region alone. Adelaide and Perth are so far apart you'd just spend days driving from 1 to the other, so do them in separate trips as well, there you go, three more trips to Oz, or just come back for a year on a working holiday visa if you can and do a big lap.

    You're quite right - Australia doesn't have a cuisine, just a couple of unique things. One advantage of that, however, is that the food from immigrant communities is REALLY authentic and really good. Aussies don't really have expectations of what the food ought to be like, so they tend be very accepting and open to new tastes.
