As a Sydneysider, i can categorically say that you guys crammed A LOT in one day. Well done.
Such a beautiful part of the world.
We are loving the Tour from Down Under 👏🏽🎉 keep up the great content y’all .
Thank you so much, we are happy that you are enjoying our videos 🥰❤️
With regards to Wagyu… it is of course a Japanese word meaning “Japanese Beef”. Back in the 80’s a US company called Westholme started importing live Japanese full blood cows for export of Wagyu to Japan. Australia followed suit in 1990. Both countries managed genetics of the subsequent offspring but unfortunately the US got struck with mad cow in 2003 (sadly last year there was another outbreak) which impacted exports. Wagyu cattle was phased out in the US around 2005 (there are limited full blood cattle still in existence though) and Japan has also banned export of full bloods. This left Australia being both being disease free and still managing full blood Japanese genetic cows as a way to ensure strong export market (particularly to Asia). Australian Wagyu producers tend to save the true Wagyu stuff for Japan export. The Wagyu sold in Australia doesn’t need to be as strict and is often cross bred with Angus or other to produce something that the Japanese wouldn’t necessarily call Wagyu, but still has genetic lineage with the original Japanese cows (even if by cross breeding). Australia is the second largest exporter of beef after Brazil with Asia being the main focus for Australian producers.
This is fascinating!! Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us :)
@@juanmarcelandrhylan no worries. Keep the wonderful content coming. Hopefully you have the time to see more of NSW and the rest of Australia. New Zealand is worth a trip too.
I live slightly west of the Blue Mountains. Sometimes it snows up here in Winter and the temperatures can drop below 0 Celsius (32F). Winter is my favourite time of year as I prefer the cooler weather. Great video.
I love it when it's snowy and misty there
That is too cool! We can only imagine how much more beautiful it could look with some fresh snow coating the surroundings.. sounds like a fairy tale!
I live about 1 1/2 hr further west of Katoomba
My family moved to the Central Ranges area not long after Cox built his road over the Mountains, with the last descendant to live her life there dying 25 years or so ago.. Although I was born and raised in Sydney, the area north from Oberon to Mudgee still has a special feeling for me. I'm not alone in that with my niece having bought a property not far north of Mudgee, and in the last couple of years a nephew moving to near Mount Lambie (very cold winters there!).
My wife and I said goodbye to Sydney suburbs and moved to Wentworth Falls last May. We love nothing more than to get home from work, have an early dinner and go bushwalking or sit at Lincoln's Rock (or another lookout) and enjoy the view, fresh air and peace and quiet. It's a lovely place to live.
Have you tried the Anvil Rock ?
@@gbsailing9436 we certainly have.
Excellent! Oops sorry...[It's] Excellent!! 🤣🤣🤣@@BrettWilliamson
I would've moved their years ago but have a terrible fear of bush fires and the mountains are a big bushfire prone area.
Moved from where? Have you tried the coast? @@hereandthere6001
I think it’s funny Juan was confused about the warm clothes.😂😂
You should go to Taronga Zoo, it has an amazing view of Sydney Harbour. You can get a ferry across to the zoo
Great to see that ferry honouring olive cotton. :) "Olive Cotton Australian photographer Olive Cotton was a pioneering Australian modernist photographer of the 1930s and 1940s working in Sydney. Cotton became a national "name" with a retrospective and touring exhibition 50 years later in 1985. A book of her life and work, published by the National Library of Australia, came out in 1995."
i am so jealous how its summer in Australia while im struggling in the cold
Hahaha I knowww that’s one of the big reasons we chose to come to Australia next 😂 forever running from the cold..
I live in the Blue Mtns and this makes me realise that I take things for granted.
Admittedly, I don't have the budget to travel the world, But there is no sadness either, Because by watching and imagining your videos, I am fulfilling each and every hobby of traveling the world. But I request you, if possible, to edit the video like "Kara and Nate" or "Drew Binsky", because that type of editing looks very good to watch, and it's also more popular in the market. 500 to 600 million people monthly are watching that editing. Although your editing is also good, but if it's like that, it will be even better. Because when I watch Kara and Nate or Drew Binsky's videos and I watch your video, there is a world of difference. My Favourite KZheadrs ❤️❤️❤️ Juan Marcel & Rhylan
Hi Guys, great content. Yes, here in Australia, we do grow our own 100% grass fed, premium Wagyu Beef.
Wowww, that’s amazing! Yet another reason to fall in love with Australia.. the beef has all been INCREDIBLE!!
Greater Sydney is over 12,000km² and includes the Central Coast and Wollongong.
Wow! That’s amazing 🙌🏽
@@juanmarcelandrhylan Btw, NSW is 801,000km².....for comparison, Texas is 695,000km².
i rarely ever comment i just wanted to say that the music selection for this vlog is spectacular! amazing video as always!!🖤
You'll need at least few days to explore Katoomba and there's plenty of bush walking trails there. Katoomba has dozens of backpackers in the area too.
Sydney has so many things to offer
The golf courses up that way are beautiful. The New Ivanhoe Hotel at Blackheath, excellent.
That was a BIG day, time wise at least. I used to live in Campsie and my Mother lived in Bullaburra, which is a few train stops south of Katoomba. It was a 3 hour round trip for us in a car to visit my Mum. The distance from Sydney to Katoomba, obviously longer. Used to go jogging on a fire trail down the end of my Mum's street. About the steepest hill I've ever ran but just being in the bush was awesome.
Lovely video! Also love that there is a Sydney ferry named after Olive Cotton, a wonderful artist.
Pittwater inlet is Sydney's jewel
I am glad you enjoyed Blue Mountains. Lol that is the ferry I take every day to go to work! :)
I see you've taken on board Australia's early morning way of life for this trip lol. 6AM and most of us are up and about and ready for breakfast,running, surfing etc.
You guys are definitely an impressive lot.. we tend to consider 9am our wake up time hahaha
Oh wow!!! What a magical video!!!!! Thank you so much for this all this wonderful vibes!!!! Your happiness is so contagious!!!! 😍😍😍😍😄
What a beautiful vlog, top shelf content guys truly.
Just think: Many Sydneyites commute into the city on the Rivercats every day. What a lovely way to go to work.
Amazing footage guys. So glad you came to our Great Southern Land. Blue Mountains is my fav too.
Thanks so much, we are glad that you enjoyed it!
awww thank you for taking us along 💙
Thanks for watching 🥰
Lovely video too watch thanks both 🥰🥰
Thanks so much! We are happy that you enjoyed it 🥹💓
Fascinating seeing such a wholesome and interesting tourist perspective of the wonderful Blue Mtns, that I grew up in! Have since moved down to Sydney. :)
Coming from the mountains, why aren't you a Panthers support then?
@@SauronsEye great question...everyone has different sporting preferences, regardless of where they grew up
Your videos make me want to travel the world! You two are so cute too ❤
Thank you so so much ❤️ we are happy that you enjoy our vlogs!!
I've never been to Sydney but all your Sydney vlogs are convincing me to live there😂❤❤❤
Hahaha honestly you could pick up & move here without ever visiting first - and we guarantee you wouldn’t regret it 😂❤️ it’s truly amazing!!
You SHOULD move there. Of ALL the Australian cities, Sydney is the MOST picturesque and lively, offering the most to do and best way of life. I've seen them all, except Darwin, and they all are great, but they pale in comparison to Sydney.
This video is so beautiful and I love the quality 💚💚
You will be lucky if you see one snake. Look out for drop bears in the Blue Mountains too.
"baby don`t get too close" got me like. as always a gorgeous vlog, want to travel to Sydney right nowww after watching this.LOVE U GUYS, keep going!
DON'T put it off!!!
We love you tooooo and you HAVE to put Sydney at the top of your bucketlist - it's absolutely incredible!! 🥹
great video. You should go to the blackheath lookout too and walk around Leura. Ive been to Blue mountains literally over 50 times.
Thanks so much :)
such a beautiful vlog
great vlog! 👍
You guys are so cute haha glad you're enjoying it over here! 🇦🇺
I genuinely enjoyed watching this video 😻. Love the content and I just wanted to say this is great content to consume 💕
Amazing !!! Wow 😍😍
Thank youuu 💞
You should do a meet up with your viewers here in sydney!
Dont worry guys I live and grew up not far from where you were in Katoomba, my property surrounded by national park and i have never been bitten by a spider or snake, ever. Spent a lot of time in the bush too, including some bush bashing which is where you just kind of hike in a general direction through scrub, aiming to get to a point of interest. Usually a water source of some kind. Had some encounters with Browns and a Death adder but you just stop and they will go on their way very few times are they going to be aggressive, they are probably scared shitless and want to get out of there asap
The beef technically isn't wagyu but it's pretty much the same beef as Japanese wagyu. It's a bit like Champagne vs sparkling white wine. Also a lot of the beef from australia gets exported to restaurants in oil rich countries so you can expect to find pretty tasty pieces here.
If someone hasn't pointed out already (if you can hire a car), I would definately recommend a drive south to Wollongong, and/or a drive north to the Central Coast. There are so many beautiful places to visit. And you must, must, must take a trip to Jervis Bay and spend a few days exploring down there. You will not regret it.
South Coast is gorgeous - love Green Patch...great beaches in Wollongong and a stunning lookout...Berry...Narooma...Macquarie Pass...Sea Cliff Bridge...
Truly majestic place
It really is 🥹
Please make sure you take care of that beautiful ivory skin! Factor 50 and a hat! Our sun is lethal….
Highest rate of skin cancer in the world. Cover up, kids!
did you guys have a look at the merch?? the graphic designer in me is in love with it hahah havent been there in years, but gotta go back and get some merch! glad to hear you've been enjoying aus so far!!
Haha we actually did consider getting some merch because we enjoyed it so much - but decided it was a waste of what little suitcase space we have left 😂
Thanks for including some of our amazing and special indigenous culture. 65-thousand years and counting 🤩
In FACT it is most likely double that...
I was watching a show called the first inventors on SBS, and a scientist, said, looking at what had been done before the English came probably made Australia, one of the most developed countries in the world in that time, in terms of infrastructure. The English just didn’t know what they were looking at, and couldn’t comprehend what I’ve been going on for thousands of years.
Wow 65,000 years is unbelievable! So impressive.
You must have missed my comment then...@@juanmarcelandrhylan
fake news
Can y’all share what time of the year you guys went? I am going in June this year and need to pack but I’m scared I won’t pack the appropriate attire.
Great video of your day ❤😊
We are happy that you enjoyed it ❤️
On the map of the Sydney Train Network its just like: "___Werrington___Kingswood___Penrith___Emu Plains___ . . . To the blue mountains ->" They know blue mountains is so far west that it's barely Sydney anymore. There is a sign in Emu Plains on the motorway that reads "Welcome To Sydney" so that's probably the end of the line for Sydney and Blue Mountains is its own region. No-one is commuting to their North Sydney office from Wentworth Falls or something.
Sydney is beautiful! And Brisbane and Gold Coast are so beautiful too!!
Brisbane, Gold Coast & Byron Bay are all up next after Sydney 😍 we’re so excited!
You're welcome in Australia, and have a great time! 😊
Further north you go, the warmer it gets @@juanmarcelandrhylan
Adelaide for a weekend...festivals and food....named Australias coolest city by Wall Street Journal....its all about balance...cheers😊...be ahead of the curve....
Nothing to see at the GoldCoast except for one long beach. It is the crime capital of Australia too! I'll never live there again! @@juanmarcelandrhylan
I would avoid walking in the sun between 11 and 1 as the UV rays are much stronger here. I recommend seeing a show in the Opera House. Don't be like those tourists who like to take pictures in front of landmarks but never experience the beauty of the landmark. In the Opera House they usually have plays and ballet and music but they also have workshops like right now they have meditation workshops and architecture workshops. At the start of March they will be playing Shakespear's A Midsummer Nights Dream. The Great Gatsby is also playing now and there is also a Gatsby Dining Experience at the Opera House with limited seats of 20 people. Thats something I probably will never go to but I would love to see it in your vlog even if its just a few photos to show what theyre eating 😂 and your review of the experience as youre probably not allowed to film inside.
It's more like between 9 and 4pm but don't let that put you off...just wear some SPF50+
Haha sadly we learned our lesson about how strong your sun is here.. both got pretty badly burnt recently 😅
If you get burnt, use methylated spirits to cool the burnt area down. Put it on a cotton wool bud and just wipe it on over the area. It has a fantastic cooling effect you won't believe. @@juanmarcelandrhylan
Package tours, tend to cover most bases, but assume that you don’t want to walk anywhere. Pity that you weren’t able to walk to Three Sisters or outside Scenic World.
OR go to the ANVIL ROCK...
Yes, we agree that tours tend to be pretty surface level - however they are still a fantastic option for first-timers looking for an introduction to an area they know nothing about. Especially given that we didn't have access to our own car. We will definitely do a more in depth trip of the Blue Mountains another time, it was too lovely to not return sometime soon!!
There are not about 20 deadly snakes. Barring some unusual allergy some people may have, there would be at the most a half dozen varieties. As for spiders, there are only 2 in the wider Sydney region - the redback, which has a red stripe on its back, and the Sydney funnel web. There are anti-venenes for them all.. Our part of Sydney is home to the Sydney funnel web, and you have to be very careful in gardening. We catch 1 or 2 spiders most year (don't do this unless you really know what you're doing and are wearing proper safety gear). Once we've caught one, we take it to the casualty ward of a nearby public hospital. It's collected from there and taken to a works not very far away, where it's milked of its venom. That gets turned into the anti-venene. Since this was devised, there have been no deaths. But don't even think about doing this unless you know exactly how and are wearing protective clothing.
Juan, I loved your confusion of the attire the " warm clothes"...you make me laugh ❤
Live and worked here for 55 years, mostly driving freight trains across them . 5 children and six grandkids all born at Katoomba hosp and can assure you it's not Sydney. Sydney's outer west actually starts at Emu Plains at the bottom of the Mountains. 0:43
surely you’re coming to Melbourne!!
Yesss, we’ll be there soon!!
@@juanmarcelandrhylan Recently I took an uber from central Melbourne out to where I live in the Yarra Ranges. The driver was from Nepal and has been living in Melbourne for 14 years yet he had never seen this outer Melbourne area. As we drove along the twisty-turny roads into the hills, he exclaimed, "Wow! I had no idea just how beautiful this part of Melbourne is. It reminds me so much of driving around Nepal, even though the mountains are much higher there." So there you go, visit Mt Donna Buang and the hidden gem of a walk through a most beautiful temperate rain forest.
Good morning
Good morning 🤍🤍
❤
🤍🤍
What camere do u use
I live within the Blue Mountains at Hazelbrook. Moved up from Erko ( Erskineville) over 33 years ago. Love it here, and so glad that you got to visit this special area. Safe travels.
Giiiiirl where did you get your bodysuit? It looks so good and I love the colour
Please do Athens Greece soon for KZhead
Love you guys ! I'm hoping you'll visit Taronga zoo.
Love u too 🥹 we will look into it! Thanks (:
Guys, I must say I always have a chuckle when Mericans say they are scared of snakes and spiders in Australia. Some Australian facts: * On average, there are only TWO deaths per year from snake bite. * In the last 40+ years there has only been ONE recorded death in Australia from spider bite. Meanwhile in the USA: * There were approx 640 mass shootings in the USA in 2023. * There were 40,000+ gun related death in the USA in 2023. * In the USA there are MORE guns than people. Being an Aussie, guess which country I’m going to be safer in? And it ain’t Merica!! Anyway.... Yes we are very luck with all the bush land that surrounds Sydney, National Parks to the North, South and West, plus of course, the Ocean to the East. Cheers,
Prob visiting guests doin nice vids, kind of may not need reminding of home stats..(a la guns)...etc..."spiders n snakes..sharks n crocs"...is fear lite....really...a hash up of social media, that loves..."them & us syndrome". Happy to watch their very nice vids....as they unfold. Refreshing palette of thoughts and experiences. 🎉🎉❤
The point of my comment is not designed to give Americans a kicking regarding firearm deaths in the USA (though the stats from 2023 are accurate). The is more about that nearly every American says exactly the same thing about Australia, eg, “they are too scared to come here because everything here is trying to kill you”. Us Aussies (all 26.6m) know that is rubbish, it’s a stereotype that pervades just about every comment made by Americans. A few cold hard facts, eg, the very low number of annual snake and spider bite deaths is almost nil in relation to the Australian population size (US firearm deaths on the other hand is ridiculously high). Cheers,
So glad you like my home lol sydney
you need to go to Cabramatta. If you don't you're missing out. This is a must see.
😂😂
Hey guys - love seeing you two down under - I’m in Perth, but nice to know we’re in the same country. Are you going to see Taylor while you’re in Sydney?
Cant believe u didnt do the 3 sisters walk.
I follow your videos to learn English. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
We love that! Thanks so much for watching ❤️
Did your get your guide tour include the zoo after the blue mountain
Yesss it did 😍 it’s linked in our description. Highly recommend the tour!
Please do Athens Greece vlog KZhead soon
💙💙💙💙💙
Pity your video was only just over 10 mins..would have liked to see more 🙂
Sorry about that, we always try to make the longest video possible - without watering down the quality 🤍
Luv your videos!! Blue Mountains is a must go if you visiting Syd, it is place where I always take overseas friends. You video makes me feel so blessed for living in this amazing (but expensive) city!! Keep up your good work 👍
Could anyone tell me the artist and the name of the song from 6:30-7:00min? Amazing song
Do you know why they are called The Blue Mountains?
Come to Newcastle nsw a two hour car drive from Sydney we have the best beaches in the world
Have you had a Chicken Parma yet? (Short for Parmigiana) It's an Aussie pub favourite, served with salad and chips. Although I think those crazy Sydneysiders call it a Chicken Parmy..
Guys emu is pronounced ee as in seem Em you not emoo as so many visitors do.
Hope your finger is ok mate. Cockatoos can have a very strong bite
how can you guys climb up mountains all the time in hot temperature countries i will die trying😭😭😭
They said they were cold 😂
Haha surprisingly it was actually chilly up there!!
@@juanmarcelandrhylanwe have very hot days, then a couple of cool days in between as a bit of relief. It seems you guys are experiencing to cool days only, which is fantastic for us, but not for u guys!! 😢
Not sure how long you guys are here but I recommend hiring a car and driving down south to Jervis bay Some of the whitest sand you will find
When you're in Queensland, you should go to the Sunshine Coast. It's much prettier and less developed than the Gold Coast
I miss Sydney soo much this vid triggers me lmao
Where are you now?
Come and visit dopey
Hahaha sorry 😅
“Sydney Australia”….just saying Sydney should be fine..l think it’s an American thing!
There is a Sydney Nova Scotia that was founded in 1785. It was a city but lost it's city status in 1995. It did have a steelworks, but now it is "famous" for having the world's largest fiddle. Apparently there was a Dutch teen that boarded what they thought was a flight to Sydney Australia, and ended up in Nova Scotia. And there is a Sidney, Montana. Don't spell Sydney incorrectly when booking your flight.
Not sure if it’s an American thing - we just always like to clearly state where we are, especially since we have viewers from all different countries. Not just Australia where they will immediately know which Sydney you are referring to.
@@juanmarcelandrhylan Yeah, there is an international audience for your videos. And you travel to plenty of places. So being precise with your locations doesn't hurt.
It’s just that l’ve been noticing for years that Americans always say..”London England” or “Paris France”….there are certain cities in the world that don’t require the add on of the country…maybe Sydney is one of those cities?@@juanmarcelandrhylan
Not enough of us have travelled to realise just how lucky we are. The blue mountains are spectacular. Spent a lot of my youth camping there. Good times.
Wagu beef is done here….
It's beautiful ..... but it ain't part of Sydney !!!
Great vlog guys! I hope you're going to visit New Zealand while you're down this end of the world
❤️
