so we are in the beautiful suburb of Surrey Hills
very close to the centre of Sydney so we're just having a little walk around
it literally would take us maybe 20 minutes to walk into the very heart of
Sydney from here this is a very popular trendy suburb now I think at one time it
had a bit of a reputation but it has a lot of these suburbs that are close to
the city centres Surry Hills now has become quite gentle fied and just a few
minutes walk from Surry Hills or unaltered Street now heading down to
Sydney centre this is a really fascinating and character-filled Street
there's lots of seedy bars and restaurants it might be a little bit of
Camden in London now you will find it hard to get decent or a reasonably
priced to parking when you get this close to the city but here's a little
tip there's Surrey Hills if you're not in the city for too long there is free
parking for around two hours so if you just got to come in to do a little bit
of shopping you can certainly Park without a residential permit in Surry
Hills for a couple of hours it's only then about 20 to 30 minutes walk into
the town centre okay but me is the anzac memorial and we're actually now in Hyde
Park it's amazing how many of the names in Australia mimic the names in Europe
and particularly in England Hyde Park is a very famous and big park in the center
of why not in the centre but it's in London it's a huge Park this it on the
other hand is a much smaller part but it's a nice green area pretty much in
the centre of Sydney
a lot busier here suddenly we're pretty pretty central now
so I really don't know Sydney that well and
it looks like this uh is there a tram system here now
I didn't think Sydney hello Frances but then what do I know
so on George Street
that we're on George Street it makes me understand why the camera
store I'm heading to at the moment is Georgia's cameras I thought it was
possibly named after somebody called George but it's not it's named after
George Street the street it's on could be wrong
guys are talking about cameras behind me
1dx markii with 1 to 1 DX mark 2 on the end of this rape Queen Victoria Billy
okay this is to be queen things I've been here before
so the queen victoria building is a beautiful building and we come back and
get some nice b roll some footage inside because the inside shopping area in
there it's really picturesque really pretty
haven't been there for possibly or eight nine years maybe
so it is Boxing Day the day after Christmas
and they've closed this support pedestrianised I'm not sure if you
normally there would be traffic whether it be trams coming up and down this road
I'm not sure it actually looked to me look at the rails down here say not
looking at the tracks on the ground under me I'd say almost certainly
there's no traffic being on these tracks or for many a decade okay so now we're
just gonna switch off we're gonna have a quick look for George's camera in
Georgia Street there might not be
we had no plan today when we set off we had no particular plans to come into
Sydney center we were just doing a little little recce
little reconnaissance I mean it is always just too busy but actually it's
quite nice and the traffic the foot traffic running fairly freely so we
found Georgia's camera the only reason I'm popping in here is I know one of the
guys I met at VidCon last year and we just pop in and check out what's new in
the store and just see if if he's there and say hello blogging in Georgia's
downstairs they got all the gimbals lighting and upstairs I think they have
all all the cameras it's a nice store I wasn't sure where they had two schools
or one store
okay so must be more confused than I am the core I came in but at least we've
been out to see the bodies of the cameras that they came to see and now to
get a feel for the way to them the m30 is looking quite interesting at the
moment two slightly older cameras almost a year old already but it's looking
interesting
so we just had a little look at the the Osmo pocket as well the problem with the
pocket is it's still got no external mic and i've seen a few people blocking with
it and it's really the quality of the sound is just too poor until they sort
out the sound it really isn't a vlogging camera it's still of the year old camera
so we'll have to wait to see now the other thing we've come here on Boxing
Day so it's really really busy so we're just going to we're going to bail on the
city for now head back back home and we'd come back on it on a quieter day
I'm not a big fan of crowds I have to admit Ryan from Taiwan and he's got a
YouTube channel what's your YouTube my turn oh he is fryer Wong
trying a phone yeah hey to you a energy yeah that's one Brian upon and we've
just been stopping with his friends here but we've been checking out this gimbal
didn't start so it's really nice he's taking a moment to show us
so just outside George's camera will he see a guy who's got a gimbal brian kwong
hates you ang and he's got a youtube channel so it was nice he's let us have
a look and Michelle had a feel for the wait I think it's still a little bit
heavy for what we're looking for but the options are growing so a nice little run
out to that yet we are in Surry Hills very pretty little suburb it's only
about two K's into the city centre from here and you can get a couple of hours
free parking which is quite nice yeah highly recommend it we only came in for
a little recon today work out where the parking was work out where all the
locations were and popped into George's cameras just to check out some stuff so
we're very lucky we managed to find the car and a rough idea but you can see she
stands out fairly well bright yellow thanks for coming along good little look
around Sydney the harder Sydney and this really
pretty Surrey Hills I haven't been to Surry Hills before but I really love it
take care see you in the next vlog if you follow
till it leads you back home you'll find that the answer is yes
