That emotional response you expressed from the breathtaking views across the harbour netted the whole value that exists in nature. The buildings just frame something extraordinary.

Your videos are so much improved with these Sydney posts. I'm enjoying the more documentary style videos you've been making recently, great video of the environment/scenes. The shots of the ferry crossing are excellent, Takes me back a few years. Life in Aus for a few weeks definitely chills you out. Travel broadens the mind :)

Hi Lee, Steve from Perth here. It looks like you took all the heat with you when you left for NSW. All the heat waves are gone. Today was 28° and clear skies. Great day at the beach. Hope you're having a great time in Sydney, great people, great weather (sometimes). Best wishes, hope you have a great time. Looking forward for more great content.

Loved taking the ferry past Sydney Heads in wild weather.

When Lt Cook made his first landfall in Australia in 1770, be landed at a large bay south of current day Sydney, which he called Stingray Harbour, (now called Botany Bay) when he left he had fair winds as he sailed north up the coast, well off shore, and was keen to continue on so he made a note as he passed the entrance to Sydney Harbour that there might be a suitable anchorage in there! Eighteen years later in 1788 the first fleet arrived with Gov Phillip in command, he didn't like Botany Bay, so he headed north in a small boat to investigate the 'anchorage' that Cook had seen, and as he entered through the headlands and turned south what a sight he saw! He commented that you could anchor a thousand ships of the line here with room to spare, and as they say the rest is history.

On a day I got absolutely soaked at work all day long, whilst it was grey and cold all day.. how absolutely lovely to see sunshine 😊 another fantastic video of Sydney, I reckon I’ve seen more on your videos of Sydney and Perth than I’ve ever seen before anywhere else. May one day I will be able to afford to go to such countries, never give up on my dreams

I realy liked this video. I live in Melbourne now “80 yrs old”. I spent a lot of time in Sydney. Worked at Manly hospital , loved Circular Que. and Sydney. Both my grandparents came to Australia before the First World War.. from Castile and Staffordshire. Don’t believe what your mate said about the poisonous bugs, spiders and sea creatures etc………we just ignore them. Come back again sometime.

A great trip is the bus to Palm Beach our northern most beach. My favourite and you can walk up to the Barrenjoey lighthouse. Home and Away is filmed at the northern end of Palm Beach.

The most beautiful harbour in the world and I've seen quite a few..

Fort Denison is a Martello Tower and is the only complete example in the world. It was built between 1841 & 1857 to defend against potential invasions from France and other enemies. When completed twelve 32 pounder (three in the tower), two 10 inch shell guns, one 8 inch shell gun and one 12 pounder carronade were installed. Other guns were installed around the harbour up to the heads to welcome adversaries. The fort is built on a rocky outcrop they called Pinchgut Island which is where they put their difficult convicts for a week or so on bread and water to keep them in line.

Lee, mate, get yourself a decent sunhat. We have the highest rates of skin cancer in the world and you are a prime candidate. Even your expat mate has a proper hat!. Glad you took the ferry to Manly, its a decent trip.

The building @1605-10 is Kilburn Towers…a post war international style of architecture built in 1959..it was designed by local architect William E Beck for Davis Estates Pty Ltd…the Sydney branch of Davis Estates Ltd of Kilburn in London…hence the name of the building..

Great footage and a fantastic friendly guest

Andrew is a lovely man! Here in NSW, if you are a permanent resident and 60 or over, you can get a Seniors Card which lets you travel on the entire Sydney public transport system, including light rail and ferries, hopping on and off as much as you want, for $2.50 for the whole day. You can go way outside the city limits by train for the same fare - like as far as Orange which is 3-4hrs by car. One of the few bargains for old farts in a pretty expensive city! Our public transport really is something to be proud of - safe, clean, efficient, comfortable, extensive.

It's not just the Manly ferry there are ferries everywhere, even far west to Parramatta over 20km away called The River Cat. Sydney has many harbours. The main one is Sydney Harbour but there is also Middle Harbour, Botany Bay, Port Hacking, Pittwater, Brisbane Waters and Broken Bay. Middle Harbour and Botany Bay are the only ones that don't have ferries. There are also islands in most of the harbours. The ferries go to several in Sydney Harbour, Pittwater and Broken Bay. See if you can catch the Penguins in Manly coming in at dusk.

Before the construction of the Fort i was already named Pinchbut Island and prisoners who commited more serious crimes and re offenders were often marooned there with just the basics, bread and water, which "inched" their gut. The concept of being hanged by the stomach is not true and I defy you ro provide credible reference points. The hanging of Francis Morgan in 1796 when the gibbet was built there gave more to the meaning of pinchgut than myth as when they hung him they left his body strung up for 4 years. As to Palm Beach being no where near Manly, it aint that far and I think what they meant is that is ON THE PENINSULA. It is amazing how you can draw such cantakerous accounts .

One particular one hung in chains for four years from 1796.

On shark nets, if you knew how deep they go, you wouldn't be feeling as safe. One of the reasons that folk dislike them is that, they kill wildlife and they're not very effective in keeping sharks away. They don't reach to the sea bed by any stretch, so Sharks can easily swim around or under them. (how safe are you feeling now?)

Fort Denison was not a prison. The island on which it was built was used for punishment before the Fort was built. A bit of a fun fact that I heard about Fort Denison was that the cannons were never fired, but if they had been the martello tower would have been destroyed! Something about the way it was constructed. The fort was built to protect the colony from an invasion from the sea.

@brettevill9055

Yep. The island is called "Pinchgut", and once, in 1788, before Sydney had a gaol, a convict was banished there for a week on bread and water. A gallows and gibbet were built on Pinchgut in 1796, for executions. Mostly, it was used as a quarry. Fort Denison was begun in the 1840s after some American ships sailed into Sydney Harbour and demonstrated that there were no effective defences, and was finished in 1855 as a defence against the Russians (because of the Crimean War!).

No one is interested in your superfluous marxist verbiage.

I feel that I am a real Australian, and I love my history and Aboriginal and Torres strait Islander history also. There is pre colonial history of course, some stone carvings just down the road from my house made by the Wangal people. Not sure what the harbour looked like prior to the first fleet, however I can only imagine the wilder parts of Port Stephens.

I thought the same Jayne. The British can be very dismissive of such things.

What is real Australian? Probably the people who were here for 65000 years approximately before the British invaded.

Not much in Sydney to show visitors that the indigenous people lived their Now we have stupid woke welcome to country announcements and put signs up around the place and on tv what group of inhabitants lived on the land . We have gone mad . And we are a miserable lot and live in a nanny state and greed rules making life unpleasant.

What are all these w8nkers doing here. It used to be “whinging Poms”. Now we’ve got the moaning mob, frightened of any little change. Every little “woke” thing causes them to wee in their pants.

@@michaelhart5886 … Spot on Michaelheart, hundreds of different tribes with different languages here for allegedly 65,000 years and didn’t even come up with inventing the wheel and were into cannibalism amongst other cruel practises upon their own but the likes of Bruce Pascoe and his ilk don’t want you to know about that side… the English made it into the wonderful country that it has become with the help of of immigrants from Europe who worked hard… and yes I agree with another commenter that “welcome to country” and smoking nonsense should be ditched and thank god Australia had the perspicacity to say NO to a divisive nation … or the Trojan horse effect handed down from the globalist agenda

What a nice vlog Lee. Not been to Manly for years, thanks for taking me back there. It still looks good. Andrew was a great guide, you need a bucket hat like him. Looking forward to your opinion of Harry's Cafe de Wheels, I like it.

Interesting video Lee with laid back and cool Andrew 😊🇬🇧☀️

Someone asked about the large building on the northern shore of the Harbour, opposite Circular Quay. That's Admiralty House, the Sydney residence of the Australian Governor-General (each State has a Governor). Immediately to the east of that and half hidden by trees is Kirribilli House, which is the Sydney residence of the Prime Minister.

Sydney is such a wonderful place and a trip there isnt complete without a trip over to MANLY, done it may times and love the place, dont miss the yummy gelato in the Manly ferry building !

Loved the video mate see you in the next one my friends

The walk from Mosman to Manly is incredible

Thanks for the journey to Manly, a hive of activity on the water, an hour well spent

Don’t forget that double episode of Minder in 1993 when Arthur and his nephew Ray (Gary Webster) went to Sydney. Great fun it was!

Thank you again Lee and Andrew for todays boat trip just watched. I appreciate the wonderful footage and jealous of the weather your getting out there. I am in Blyth near Newcastle and today we are expecting Rain and current temp is 43 Farenheight. Nice to see your wearing the Lets Go and Onwards Teashirts once more. Regards Keith x

Loved this. I live in Manly and it was nice to see it from a visitor's perspective.
