g'day Travelers as an adventurer at heart I've been lucky enough to spend the last 13
months exploring diverse Landscapes and cultures of Southeast Asia however a sudden trip back
to Australia gave me the opportunity to discover the Hidden Treasures in my hometown of Newcastle
New South Wales in this video I'm taking you on a journey through a day in my city showcasing
the stunning beaches unique Wildlife there's a koala world-renowned Vineyards from Aussie
Classics that's changing life I've heard that it's a breathtaking scenery and join me for
an unforgettable Adventure in Newcastle New South Wales okay so we are here at two hands
I'm about to get my first coffee of the day and I will say that Newcastle has one of the
best coffee cultures that I have found as well even coming from Sydney takeaway
so we're coming from Sydney and living so far away from the beach and it's so hard to
access Newcastle is amazing for beaches and I am so excited to show you some of them right
now [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
if you have heard about beaches in Australia you've probably heard about Bondi Beach and
that's in Sydney yes it's a beautiful beach but don't sleep on Newcastle beaches these
are amazing you have knobby's head you have this one which is bar Beach which is my personal
favorite and then you have Meriwether Beach and they also have Meriwether baths so I've
noticed since moving to Newcastle you'll get a coffee and you'll walk along a beach go
for a surf go for a I don't know and that's how days are started here it's actually something
right up the top there that starts at the very top of this hill called the Anzac Bridge
or the Anzac walk bridge I believe which there is nothing almost nothing that beats the view
from the top of that Hill up there [Music]
thank you
so we are now on the way up to the hunter Valley and there is just it's so Australian
out here there's horses cows goats big open land and it's just so Australian it's a hot
day today I think it's like 40 degrees or something it's a hot one it's an Aussie one
we are surrounded by Vineyards Left Right Center okay so we just got here to the aqua
golf so you have to shoot it out over water and I've never done this before and I will
just preface this I'm not good at golf hi
boss yeah two buckets uh just one just one yeah I'm not five dollars right here in a
club uh I
don't thank you okay so I'm not a golfer I probably I can count on them in one hand how
many times I've hit a golf club oh how many times have heated ball with a golf club pour
all the balls into that bit yeah yeah like easy for yourself
[Music]
no don't bend your feet see
you top here that you hit it into the ground I hit it
that's kind of what I expected to happen the first time it's a little bit harder than I
thought it would be to be honest with you I guess the aim for me is not to see how far
I can hit it but just to hit it so the aim is to get them in these like Nets and it's
over the water right over the pond but let's try hit a few more there you go oh that was
so close
hey you whacked that I don't know where that is
[Music] all right
done pretty good so as we leave at the aqua golf there is a hunter Valley Gardens here
and even around in the general area there's all these cafes but yeah now we're gonna head
and go to maybe one of the wineries around here to get one of our favorite wines like
we said they're shipped everywhere and they're some of the best ones in the world so let's
go find one of them
[Music]
[Music] so this is my good old friend oh there's lots of spider webs in Australia Audrey Wilkinson
is it is it Wilkinson so he was actually one of the first people to popularize the hunter
Valley as a place to grow and produce wine it was kind of still stomped on like physically
by the people making wine um at the time so he was the first to sort of bring machinery
and like more modern I mean for 1866 kind of modern um ways to make and produce the
wine so this guy started it all up here all right let's go taste the wine that's good
the juice from these grapes were kept in contact with the skins for two hours to extract the
beautiful pink Hues and vibrant red berry flavors I was just doing some really just
to refresh myself so I didn't get anything wrong I was afraid of getting something wrong
but it is the oldest wine region in the country it's the first one in Australia in Australia
wow right here in the hunter Valley known for 35 minutes from Newcastle known for Simeon
and Shiraz foreign
[Music]
Michael actually brought me out here and we did a hot air balloon ride at like the crack
of dawn two years ago so well before a year before I started my channel the last three
Valentine's Day that one was before you started the channel and then the next Valentine's
Day we were swimming with elephants
very first video one of my very first videos on this Valentine's Day we spent it laying
on the ground with our dog we got dog after he just had his surgery but we'd come up here
for my birthday because it was the pandemic yes I wanted to go to Bali so bad I wanted
to go travel I wanted to go to Southeast Asia and we couldn't leave Australia so Michael
found a Balinese Villa here in the hunter Valley I know it doesn't look like Bali but
he found it and the Villa did and that's where Michael uh took me for my birthday so because
we have so much Native flora and fauna but animals especially if you're ever driving
on like a highway in Australia and you see these nets going over the top of the highway
it's actually something like koalas mainly and other animals can get across possums can
get across the highway safely without being run over by cars and I think that is just
so cute okay so we have just pulled up at a place called black butt Reserve I'm pretty
sure now Australia is really big on conservation of animals and our native flora and fauna
here they have heaps of our native animals for Australia koalas kangaroos peacocks things
like that and it's it's a conservation so it's free to go and see which in Australia
or at least in Sydney is not very common for things like Destiny free and I think some
of them are like just wandering around I don't know I haven't been here before but let's
go have a look at some of Australia's wild animals um hello sir how you going I'm up
there
sorry if he shows you all of these fellas it means he likes is it gonna is he gonna
subscribe me
oh it's looking at me purpose of this is not forturists or four locals it's for the conservation
of the animals and then you can come if you want to come so it's not South Africa Zoo
the animals that live in this bush the animals can just leave whenever they want basically
I'm gonna you know let me know in the comments what this animal is let me know in the comments
ready hey buddy
did you guess you know what it is I think it was a kangaroo right wrong it's a wallaby
look at me there you want to sit out in front of us wow oh so I think oh super zoomed in
so I think this is the bird Avery there's a koala
koalas are not a bird but they are so cute and they all have chlamydia basically so oh
my gosh replacement
but he's like right in front of us and he's asleep I'm pretty sure koalas are nocturnal
they sleep during the day they're awake during the night they eat these eucalyptus leaves
they're pretty like they're pretty strong you don't often are allowed to grab them or
touch them or anything this is actually something that I should talk about because while we
were traveling southeast Asia I wasn't really worried out spiders snakes any of that I've
only come to Australia and everything's trying to kill you like there's snakes everywhere
there's deadly like spiders you have to literally watch out because everything's deadly you've
been watching for my southeast Asia videos this might look familiar to you
oh
yeah they must be different Australia it's a different time it's a different type isn't
it mostly only found on the East Coast of Australia they call it a lace slider throw
some frogs but that's the one that in his little oh you can't really see are you so
cute they're super dangerous why they're really aggressive animals so up here we should have
our emus and our kangaroos which are like and koalas are kind of a national animal but
emus and kangaroos definitely are they're on our passport they're on our money they're
on our coat of arms coat of arms emu and a kangaroo on the coat of arms because both
animals can't go backwards they can only go forwards kangaroos are a little bit too far
away they're sort of order not really exactly
but the red kangaroo ones are massive and like they will punch you so there's a place
near our plate our house um near a lake and it's absolutely beautiful there we normally
walk happy there or walk there on our own and there's a uh I want to stay Australian
but it's more of a Newcastle iconic classic thing to eat but it's about to close and yeah
we need to get there as soon as possible and we're going to show you what it's like apparently
it's like big here it's a big deal everyone in Newcastle will have eaten at somewhere
along this family tree of stencils okay all right we're here at the famous place in Newcastle
