Welcome to the Travelman Podcast, I\\u2019m your host Ben thank you for coming aboard again and if you\\u2019re new to the podcast plane and you\\u2019re joining me for the first time, well then hello and thank you for listening. You\\u2019ll be in seat 57A for your imaginary flight today.

On today\\u2019s podcast, I was live on YouTube with Chris Raney my San Diegan mate from Yellow Productions. We did this livestream around two weeks ago on 12 more reasons to travel to Australia. This is our second live stream on our Australia series.

So, sit back and enjoy our conversation on Australia.

Intro to the show

2:30 \\u2013 Reason 1, Sydney Harbour \\u2013 Sydney Harbour is a great place to visit. Visit the Sydney Opera House, I love it, it\\u2019s close to the Rocks and Circular Quay and there\\u2019s an amazing view of the Sydney Harbour, and the Bridge. Also, spend some time in the botanical garden nearby. I spent a year there as a Sydneysider. I was a teenager back then but oh how much fun it was. Sydney is the prettiest city in Australia.

5:18 \\u2013 Reason 2, Reasonably Price \\u2013 Australia isn\\u2019t too expensive. But, housing\\u2026 just kidding.

18:10 \\u2013 Reason 3, Botanical Gardens! \\u2013 The botanical gardens in Australia are beautiful. They\\u2019re close to the city and made for people to enjoy and walk around in it to get out of the city rush. It\\u2019s great to get out into nature.

25:33 \\u2013 Reason 4, Great Barrier Reef \\u2013 One of the seven natural wonders of the world,

30:30 \\u2013 Reason 5, Australian Food \\u2013 We have diverse food in Australia, but what\\u2019s really Australian food, meat pies? Shrimp on the Barbi? Nope, probably not.

37:22 \\u2013 Reason 6, Beer \\u2013 We have all types of beers brewed here in the land of Oz. From commercially brewed beers brewed for the masses or the best craft beer in the world. You need great water for that and Australia has great water!

41:04: \\u2013 Reason 7, Wineries \\u2013 Australia has some of the best wineries in the world, from the Yarra Valley to the Clare Valley to Margaret River. Australia produces wine in every state and territory bar the Northern Territory.

47:36 \\u2013 Reason 8, Coffee \\u2013 I enjoy coffee so much. Melbourne is well known for its coffee. You\\u2019ll find it very hard to find a bad coffee here. You can get good coffee in most of Australia, but the best is in Melbourne and maybe Sydney.

48:36 \\u2013 Reason 9, Great Zoos \\u2013 Australia has some super Zoos to enjoy, we have a range of open range Zoos, Suburban Zoos and Zoos where crocodiles reign supreme!

55:40 \\u2013 Reason 10, Tropical Forests, and even skiing! \\u2013 From the far northern reaches of Australia there is tropical forests that adorn the land, far south you\\u2019ll find bushland that is covered in snow in the winter. In the middle, there is sand. Australia is fascinating.

57:28 \\u2013 Reason 11, Close to New Zealand \\u2013 Our proximity to New Zealand makes New Zealand and Australia the best of buddies. New Zealand is a great place to travel to. If you\\u2019re in Australia and you didn\\u2019t even realise that New Zealand was on our door step then book yourself a ticket and get to this wonderful place.

58:48 \\u2013 Reason 12, For the Australians! \\u2013 Yes, we\\u2019re a jolly bunch of blokes and Sheila\\u2019s, we\\u2019re a hospitable bunch with wide open and welcoming arms. Visit Australia. It\\u2019s waiting for you.

Important Additional Information:

I hope you enjoyed the podcast. I hope to do many more live streams with Chris in the future.

If the audio sounded a bit choppy it was because we were live online and to have a stable connection running through the Pacific Ocean is pretty tough. Also, if you haven\\u2019t visited the new website yet it\\u2019s live and at travelmanpodcast.com

See you on the next podcast.
