welcome to Sydney Australia we have just got to Australia and we're going to show you how
to spend your first week in Sydney we are doing the Sydney and Jervis bay Adventure
tour with Gap 360 and we're going to show you this talk we're also going to give you
some tips if you're looking to travel here or do a holiday working Visa in Australia
[Music]
today is the first day of our Gap 360 tour around Sydney we're going to be going on a
walking tour this morning and go to some of the best spots around the city so let's go
foreign [Music] so the easiest ways to get around Sydney are using the trams the Metros
the ferries the buses and to use those you can use an opal card which is similar to like
an oyster card we have in London or you can use a debit card if you're not here for a
long time and you just want to be easy so that bird you just saw there is a bin chicken
although the real name for it is an Ibis and they're basically known for going in the bins
and eating all your old food here in Sydney and Australia so yeah watch out for the bin
chickens they can be deadly but they're not actually deadly so we've just finished day
two of our tour and we started the day doing an Aboriginal talk in the area of barangaroo
which is like round near the harbor and we learned all about the Aboriginal culture here
in Sydney so we just finished this cocktail making class in this underground American
kind of bar and it was so cool I made a whiskey sours and Amelia made a margarita and they
yeah they tasted so good and it was so cool to actually see how you make them it was also
like a secret entrance way which I'll show you and it was so cool before we head out
on our road trip on day three of our tour I wanted to give you some help if you're looking
to do a holiday working Visa here because I know some of you will be if you're looking
to get a holiday working Visa you need to apply a couple of months in advance and it
costs 510 Australian dollars to apply you must be 18 to 30 years old and the Visa lasts
12 months however if you want to extend that to two years or even three years then you
can do so you just have to do Regional work or farm work once you get to Australia make
sure you apply for a tax file number because this is needed for when you work you don't
need it for your first month but after your first month it is vital to have it so also
if you're looking to work in Australia obviously you're going to need an Australian bank account
and the ones which are commonly used are Westpac and Commonwealth Bank and finally make sure
you get an Australian SIM card obviously this is just going to make finding a job and like
all communication is so much easier when you're in Australia they can help you set up a SIM
card on the tour but I recommend using Optus as it's the cheapest we got 30 for 30 gigabytes
which is an amazing deal good morning from Sydney today we are actually heading on a
big Australian road trip and I am so excited we're heading to Jarvis Bay but we've got
some stops along the way we're going to grab some coffee go to the first national park
in Australia and I'm so excited to like hit the road and head to somewhere else outside
this city so let's go everyone this is Graham everyone say g'day Graham g'day here I am
[Music] so we've just arrived in the first national park in Australia this is the Royal
National Park and we've just seen a waterfall and we're gonna go check out the bottom of
it apparently there are koalas around here so hopefully we're gonna see one so obviously
we are in Australia so we've just been told to stamp the ground to just warm the snakes
that we are coming but oh I'm a bit scared of going in there [Music]
[Music]
so we've just stopped off at the side of the road and we've come to this Viewpoint and
it is insane but you gotta check out these views this is incredible I wasn't expecting
like big mountains on the coast around here it's so cool [Music]
about five minutes away from a dolphin boat so we've just arrived and we're about to go
on a dolphin cruise which is gonna be awesome foreign
[Music]
[Music] Bay which is like a beach just like 10 minutes down the road so let's go so we've
just reached Greenfield Beach and it's supposed to be one of the whitest sand beaches in like
entire world it is going it's glowing oh my God look at that that is insane I actually
I need to put the sunnies on look at this I know I want to go in I want to feel the
Sun
I've got no sunglasses that's gonna hurt the eyes this sand is so squeaky like when you
walk I don't know if you can hear that get some
it's crazy but anyway this water is actually not dirty it has Tea Tree in apparently it's
good for the skin so we're gonna take it here we go when we go here we go it's also probably
way warmer than the sea we haven't been in the sea yet but I mean that's probably going
to be a bit a little bit chilly because it is still is it November yeah November so it's
not Peak summer yet here in Australia but this is beautiful and yeah apparently this
teacher is good for carts like your skin hair all that kind of stuff so we're just going
to bathe in it for a little bit and make us feel good I can see why this is one of the
whitest sand beaches in the world you know it is very white it's crazy
[Music]
[Music] so we have just wrapped up on the beach we've had an amazing time just chilling
out on like literally one of the whitest sand beaches in the world in the entire world not
just here in Australia so that's pretty cool we're now going to head to our surf camp where
we're staying tomorrow and that's gonna be awesome so hey skill good morning so we are
here in surf camp and we are actually going surfing this morning it's about 7 45 and we
need to go get our wetsuits it is quite cold but we're going to be basically doing our
first lesson although we have individually surfed before but like when we can't say we're
not Pros so today is the day we are gonna surf we're gonna stand up and you I don't
know you who and be like gnarly cool Australians so let's get we're going let's get going okay
let's go surfing so we've just calmed down to Seven Mile Beach and this is where we're
gonna be surfing this morning hopefully we're gonna stand up but no promises you know
[Music]
so guys that was insane the waves were beautiful out there and apparently those are some of
the best ways they've had recently so yeah and honestly I was amazed the instructors
here are so good I actually stood up quite a few times and I was hopefully hopefully
we've got some clips that it was amazing like totally recommend this surf cam it's called
surf camp Australia if you're interested highly recommend it but yeah we also when we were
putting our boards away we came across a snake it was a black and yellow and I think someone
said it was a python oh it's awesome it's not deadly I gave him a little tickle on the
tail carpet python it's the most common snake in Australia but they're quite friendly so
everyone was all right but yeah we just watched the end of it yeah it was a bit silly but
you've got to touch a snake haven't you Stephen Steve Irwin would be proud of us all right
let's go get some alerts lunch at the surf cam so we've just finished at surf camp a
short time but you can like do another like surf camp which lasts like three or five days
if you want to come back but it would be pretty tiring because we did a couple of hours and
we are exhausted and it was so fun and definitely I want to surf so much more now
so we've just come back from the very trip and over the past couple of days we've had
an amazing time going right down south and it was so cool but I just wanted to say how
easy it is making friends on this tour if you want to make friends or your Solo Traveler
and you're worried about making friends then a group trip is the way to go like honestly
wherever you're going in Australia all the world group trips are always the best way
if you are interested in this group trip or any of the group trips in Australia I'll leave
links down below and there's loads of different ones you can go on so today is our Bondi Beach
day and we're gonna get the train there we're currently based in wake up Sydney which is
like the central hostel it's a really really great hostel which is chosen for this tour
um and it's about a 40 minute um train and bus ride to Bondi Beach and I can't wait to
show you obviously I went there like a few years back but this place is awesome but this
morning which had a really useful talk about talking about onwards travel in Australia
and so we learned about all the cool places so if you are looking to do more traveling
on Australia then this tour also helps you to book and like prepare for future plans

and this is probably the most famous walking path in Sydney it's so cool along all these
crazy Cliffs it's amazing and like it's so beautiful around here the Landscapes are insane
and also the water is so blue so we are just coming up to Bondi Beach literally the most
famous beach in Australia and possibly the world it is just over there and it's looking
amazing the water looks so blue and we're just coming up to the Bondi Iceberg so just
around its corner but apparently you can't get in without a membership but we're gonna
have a look anyways this is probably the most Australian place in Australia like Bondi Beach

it's okay so we've loved the past week on this Sydney and Jarvis Bay a vegetal it has
been amazing we've done so much we've done the Dolphins the surfing the white of sand
