Someone needs to get this guy a flight to Australia!

I’m in Brisbane, people tend to go to the Gold Coast when they are in young and in party mode, and to the Sunshine Coast when they’re raising the consequences and want a family friendly holiday imo, they are just different

Hey, my husband and I live in Mapleton in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. We live in the rainforest about 25mins to stunning beaches. If you're ever able to holiday here, you're welcome to stay at our home. We've been watching your videos for a while now and absolutely love that you really want to experience our country.

It's Oz, man. Everywhere is fu@king awesome. Even the shit places are great.

Much nicer than the Gold Coast. Quieter less commercial.

Coolum Beach local here. It was affordable before COVID, but during COVID half of Sydney and Melbourne moved up, making it very expensive. Still, the Sunny Coast is paradise.

Sunny Coast local here! Have been here my whole life and adore it. As some people in the comment section have already stated, if you ever plan on visiting, we would be happy to accommodate you and show you around. Truly an unbeatable location :)

Fishing from the beach is called surf fishing, and is very popular. It's safer than rock fishing, The legs indicate a pedestrian crossing. Sunshine Coast is definitely better. Gold Coast is busy, busy, busy, loud and showy.

Not far from my home. Much nicer than the Gold Coast 🇦🇺

Love the Sunshine Coast. We live in Melbourne but had our yearly vacation with our boys for at least 12 consecutive years in Noosa Heads. Great food, shopping and family friendly with a safe beach. The only issue was that we always bumped into acquaintances from Melbourne!

What it didn't cover was from Noosa North to Fraiser Island. Check out Rainbow beach, Chris Hemsworth had a house there, and he and Matt Damon used to hang out there until the paparatzi blitzed them. 300m high coloured sand dunes and a 32mile long beach. At the Northern end of the beach you can catch a barge across to Fraiser.

My husband loved beach fishing,he said he always felt at peace. The sign with two legs lets you know it is a pedestrian crossing.

We live on Bribie Island just south of the Sunshine Coast. We have the Sunshine Coast 45 minutes way away, Brisbane 45 minutes away & the hinterland 45 minutes away. Bribie Island is just beautiful so we have it all. 😂😂😂😂

🏖️Ryan suffering from „Fernweh“ now, a German word meaning far-sickness or far-woe, describing the longing to go to a distant place. Me too. It‘s beautiful!❤️

That sign is a Pedestrian Crossing sign, there will also be white strips on the road which is known as a Zebra Crossing

This is basically where I live just out a bit, around the glasshouse mts. It's beautiful 🙂 I'm about 5 KMs away from the big one called Beerwah 👍

My niece grew up in Noosa and moved to Cheyenne Wyoming. Total madness.

I live in Coolum Beach in the Sunshine Coast, overlooking the ocean... It's terrible! I walk on the beach and.. who am i kidding it freaking awesome. Ryan, come stay with us!!

Coming upon my 21st year of living on the Sunshine Coast. It is by far the nicest place I could think of to live. Beautiful beaches and national parks, the hinterland is amazing, excellent weather most of the time although it does rain quite a lot. The worst thing about it is the traffic and number of people around, particularly on weekends. This video doesn't show it but it gets insanely busy. On the flip side, you couldn't pay me enough to live on the Gold Coast.

My cousins live along the Sunshine Coast and from what I could see when I was visiting last year there’s still a lot of affordable housing. It’s a lovely stretch of Australian coastline with the weather to go with it.

Ryan, the Sunshine Coast, or Currimundi Lake on the Sunshine Coast to be exact has even appeared in a Bluey episode (Stickbird in Series 3). It is a beautiful place

Used to live there. Got stung by like 20 bluebottles one day surfing at Mooloolaba. I was in pain but the surf was so good I couldn’t get out of the water

Yes, this area and the area around Margaret River WA are the local Aussies' playgrounds. My daughter and her husband and six boys live in a town near Glass House Mountains, so the ankle-biters were avid grommets from an early age. A short drive to a nearby railway station and they can be in Brisbane in 90 minutes, so a three-days a week commute allows for a great leisure and labour balance.

It was affordable (except for ‘round Noosa) until pretty recently. Covid and working from home brought city prices to coast and country. Sadly.

Robert does the croc shows a lot at Australia Zoo.

Yayyy... finally noticed the best place to go and live! We moved here to the Sunshine Coast in 1988 and don't plan on leaving any time soon! You have so many lifestyle choices depending on your budget, there's beautiful countryside properties on acreage, beach side properties where you can step literally out the back door and walk to the beach in minutes or even seconds from the door! And then there's canal front homes where you can step literally out the back door and walk to your own pontoon with your boat moored and jump in and actually go out to the ocean via the waterways and do some fishing and as long as the catch is legal size, you can just bring it back home and cook up some fresh fish. 😀

The long fishing rod is to allow him to cast out over and beyond the breakers into clear water, or into the gutters where the larger fish are more likely. Dart, Trevally, Tailor and Spanish Mackerel in season, are typical catches.

If you look about 15 to 20 minutes drive away from the beaches you can find homes for sale from approximately $800,000 to $1.3M AUD which is not bad in today's market for that beautiful region.

Ryan you seriously need to come to Australia. Your eyes tell the story 😍

Been going to the Sunny Coast for nearly 75 years now. A great place to visit and relax. Will be connected to Brisbane by rail by the Brisbane Olympic Games. Yea!!

Don't worry about the water being shallow. Surf fishing is about finding the 'Rip' and utilising it to get out the back where monsters hang out!🌅🐟🐠🦈🎣

Beach fishing and Rock Fishing is popular in Australia. Although Rock fishing every year claims people's lives as rogue waves wash them off the rocks and drown as they don't wear a life jacket.

I moved to the sunshine coast 2 years ago. maroochydore i live in paradise.

As a resident of Brisbane, I enjoy the choice of what both coasts have to offer. I am slightly closer to the Goldie and own an apartment on the beach that I place on Airbnb. It becomes a great holiday place when it’s free. But for a different vibe and lifestyle I enjoy visiting the Sunny Coast. In my opinion one is not necessarily better than the other. They offer different experiences which makes living in Brisbane awesome. Usually people that put down the Gold Coast are referring to one touristy suburb called Surfers Paradise, but there is so much more to the city than that one particular area.

A much nicer destination to holiday than the Gold Coast. I frequently holiday in Noosa Heads which offers a great central location for roaming in the district.

I lived on the Sunny Coast Friday afternoon I'd pick up the kids and we swim at Bullock Beach (safe for kids) Then we'd buy fish and chips while we watched the cane burn in the distance. Chips on white bread, heaps of butter and sauce running down your fingers, on a perfect day at a perfect beach. Best life. Grown kids still rate those Fridays best days of their lives. At beautiful Sunny Coast. 🌞 😊😊

The leg signs indicate to drivers that they are approaching a pedestrian crossing.

"wow look at that tree" The stunning views were behind it Ryan...

We dont vacstion. We holiday.

I lived there for two years and it was stunning. Missed my family and came home to Adelaide but man do I miss those gorgeous rainforests. Used to live two streets away from Buderim forest park which had a water fall you could swim under and great big ancient trees. Had dinner on the beach nearly year round. 👌☀️

He’s American. They have shitloads of beautiful coast, snow covered mountains , unbelievable national parks. The USA has everything but bigger. Wish I lived there.

Born in Brisbane but grew up & went to high school in Nambour (don't judge me! lol) before heading away to uni for a couple of years. Came back and lived in Curimundi & Caloundra areas then moved to China for a decade! Brisbane northside now but try & get back up to the Coast whenever I can, I miss it so much! Grandparents live up in Montville, it's always a nice drive up the back way through Landsborough, or up the highway & via Palmwoods. In the words of my grandfather, it's Godzone (God's own country).

Beach fishing is pretty common here in Australia, not so much up north too many croc's

People catch salmon off the beach in south Australia..lots of different types of fish off the beach and rocks at the Sunshine Coast ...fish for T/ dinner tonight..

Rainbow beach just north of here is amazing too and we holiday there frequently

The leg sign was a Zebra crossing ( or maybe known as a cross walk)

You were looking at the prices of houses in Twin Waters. There are less expensive houses in adjoining suburbs. Love living here

The Gold Coast is Australia's version of Vegas. North is where you want to go. Check out Port Douglas, Cairns and Hamilton Island (my personal favourite). Now that I live on the west coast, I can go to places like Kalbarri, Monkey Mia, the Pilbara and the Kimberley Coast. I personally can't wait to see Karijini Gorge. We truly are the lucky country.

There is also a loop that takes you fromMaleny down the valley through Kenilworth and back to Eumundi and Noosa. It is the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. I live here.

We’d love to have you. It’s so relaxing. I holidayed here then moved when I left school 43 years ago. Housing prices have gone up dramatically since COVID but it’s still affordable in lots of places. I learned to surf here in the 70’s when not a lot of girls surfed. It’s so nice to see so many girls and women surfing after school drop off time. Hope you and your family can make it some time soon.

Good Afternoon Ryan, $2000,000 Aus dollars converted to US dollars is $ 1,320,535.79

NOOSA HEADS on the Sunshine Coast..... Perfect! And I've been to some of the most amazing beaches in Asia over the last 30 years 😎

I prefer the Sunshine Coast. My parents used to go there each Winter to holiday. Beach fishing is very common all around Australia.

i grew up on the sunny coast, it was weird hearing places that i went as a kid told like they are super fancy. in saying that it is pretty expensive now, my parents' house is worth over 1.2 million but when they got it back in 2000 it was 100,000.

Living Regionally down South, most of the time it’s along the South Coast, expanding from around Bateman’s Bay. A great pace and nice Beaches and Walking Trails.

If you want a beautiful place to go when visiting the sunshine coast, it's a bit further north but you must see fraser island (K'gari), especially if you enjoy camping, there is a resort/accommodation, it's one of if not the most beautiful places on the east coast, I've done two 5 day camping trips and only explored maybe 70-80% of the island. There are dingos so there will be times to be cautious and, and unless you have people with you, you shouldn't go sun bathing or lay on the beach as the dingos will come right up to you thinking you're potential food but most of the time they keep their distance and you'll mostly see the pack running along the beach, if I could send photos I'd send photos of the dingos I shared a campsite with, I didn't realize we set up next to their den lol. But I highly recommend it

30 years now. Moved here that long ago. I'm in the hinterland. My son and his missus will be moving back here after living near the Goldie to raise their first child. :) Even when it floods, it's beautiful, it's just part of life here and you get used to it. If it's a flood that's going to last a day or two? We bunker down. Or it might be a big one when the community rallies and gets together to help one another out. It's a land with rivers and creeks running through it and that it what makes it so beautiful. Gabi Gabi land. I love it.

Ryan my son bought a property 20 minutes drive from Noosa inland near Eumundi last year $ 975000 and now it's valued around $ 1.3 million. It is up in the hills from Eumundi. We went up to stay with my son recently there but the weather was very wet. They have had rain since before December last year. It's like their rainy season. We were playing golf with the Cain toads at night. ( The Cain toads are an introduced species years ago to eat the Sugar Cain Beatles but of course the fools got it wrong and now they have spread everywhere up there). The Sunshine Coast is lovely. We even went to a place called Yeppoon which is six hours drive north of Noosa and that place is very beautiful too. We stayed there for about 4 days. I think you would love it for a holiday. When it is winter in the southern states, a lot of people travel up there to escape the cold weather where I live in Victoria. We are home now and we are coming into our winter here from June, July and August. One day I hope you and your family can come to Australia and see how beautiful it really is. Queensland, Nsw and Western Australia are huge states and takes days to travel across them. It's not good to travel at night as you may hit Kangaroos, Wallaby's, Wombats, Camel's, Emus, foxes, sheep, cattle etc etc. But mainly Kangaroos. Depending on which state your in. Keep up your education of Australia we love your learning experiences. Nev from Oz.

If I ever win x-lotto I will buy you a ticket to Australia for you and your family... It is called Surf fishing when they fish from the beach..😊

I live at Noosa on the Sunshine Coast. It’s all beautiful, idyllic lifestyle.❤️

Just an fyi, robert is EVERYWHERE in australia zoo, he's doing us very proud in holding his family's name

A house right on Sunshine Beach (5 mins from Noosa) sold for $ 34 million 2 years ago. The buyer approached the owner and gave them an offer they couldn’t refuse. It wasn’t even up for sale.

I’ve lived on the Sunny Coast for about seventeen years and love it. The last 5 years I’m only 20 mins drive west of the coastline so cheaper. I’ve lived on the Gold Coast and Brisbane (I’m from Sydney originally). Love all 3 spots. I’m very lucky.

I moved here in October last year and since then it was a “rainy coast”. Still waiting for sunshine 😅🤩

I lived on both the sunshine and gold coasts 30yrs ago when the sunny coast was more untouched and coastal village like, without the ever growing rat-race. Now that relaxed coastal village feel place is the Banana Coast around Coffs Harbour. Similar climate, still small coastal villages (like old school sunshine coast), and even more pristine beaches, and not crowded. With ancient Rainforest and Rolling Green hills and Valleys behind it. In 30yrs it will become like Sunny Coast is now too, but its prime time is now. And is the last truly beautiful coastal area, in a similar sub-tropical climate to the Qld coasts, that is still affordable in comparison. Nearly everywhere else on the east coadt of OZ, with a year round warm climate has already Boomed. Coffs/Banana Coast is only just starting to Boom. Still relaxed for some years yet.

Ive lived on the Sunshine Coast most of my life... I see the beaches and ocean everyday when I get to ride my Harley, lately its been raining alot Fishing is also pretty good .. Love it here

Perfect climate ❤ Beach fishing happens all around Aussie.

I just moved to the sunny coast about 9 months ago from Melbourne. I've been teaching myself how to surf for a while now and I would love to take you out surfing if you ever visited Australia!

I did marine studies in High school and we had a camping trip to Lady Musgrave Island and camped on the island for a few days, completely remote, the only piece of infrastructure was a pit toilet. Amazing experience waking up on an island on the reef. We also visited Underwater world on the way there and you can book the underwater tunnels to sleep in overnight so you have all the sharks, rays and fish swimming about you as you fall asleep. I've almost visited Australia Zoo on many occasions and got to meet Terri and Bindi, mum has a photo of Bindi. Terri and I when Bindi and I were just little kids. Unfortunately, I never got to meet Steve in person but did get to see him conduct a show at the Crocaseum .

the big long pole, is called a surf rod, a large fishing rod.

Thats where I go for summer beach days, also had many of my school camps there and my cousins live there. I have so many stories of weekends up on the Sunny Coast

We have a half cabin trailer boat. 23” We can stay quite comfortably holiday on board on the river, for free. 5minutes walk from the coffee shops at the most exclusive Hastings st,. We love it, it’s a beautiful area but don’t have the income to support the lifestyle. Instant coffee on the boat is our normal. With an occasional dinner at the surf club.

While on a family caravan trip (August/September school holidays) in the 80s we went to Rainbow Beach/Noosa area and while going on a drive to see what was around my parents put down a $50 deposit on two blocks of land at Tin Can Bay. Mum always carried extra cash for petrol so they tracked down the real estate agent who worked from home and he was happy to take a $50 cash deposit for each block. We then spent every school holiday at TCB for the foreseeable future, building a duplex on one block and keeping one side of the duplex empty for when we would go back up in the holidays. Although it was lovely, it wasn't the most fun place on the planet for a teenager on holidays, lol. Much more populated now though!

That's where I live, the Sunny Coast offers so much. Robert Irwin, Bindi and family are there and feed the crocs. It's actually cheaper than places like Sydney/Melbourne.

Thanks for showcasing our beautiful area Ryan. The real estate here is much more affordable then the "concrete Jungle" which is the "Gold Coast". G'day from Mount Coolum, Qld, Australia

By the look on your face Ryan, you want to go to the Sunshine Coast . You and your family must come down here

I live in the hinterland behind the Sunshine Coast, about 450m above sea level, about 4 degrees cooler than the coast, with Australia Zoo at the bottom of the range. Its lovely up here, and only an hour from Brisbane by train or car. Much nicer than the Gold Coast.

I live on the sunny coast. Love it!!! Wouldn’t want to be anywhere else❤️

Local to the area, every weekend is holiday mode. Visiting markets, local produce stalls, going to the beach cafes and icecream places. Horse riding in the hinterland forests or on the beach. I get that view of the glasshouse mountains every day. It definitely is beautiful and a wonderful place. Yes its a little pricy, the average house is about $800k AUD. But of course there is the nice houses and private eststes worth millions where the celebs live. Tree lights are a thing everywhere all year round.

Great show and yes surf fishing is big in Australia. Lots of varieties and sizes🇦🇺🇺🇸🤙

Most people fish off the beach, as well as boats, beach fishing is a lot of fun and you can catch anything you can get in a boat

I live on the Gold Coast and holiday in Port Douglas - check that place out - on the Great Barrier Reef and close to Daintree forest - one of the worlds greatest places. Check them out.

We live in inland Queensland about 3 and a half hours drive from the coastline. I've always preferred the Sunshine Coast but for many many years the Gold Coast was much easier to get to and had more accommodation and entertainment options. We have only yesterday returned from a 7 night holiday at Caloundra. We will be returning there again in 3 months time. Yes, you are correct, it is that good!

OMG _ that's home for me. Lived in Caloundra, my boys were sponsored surfers - used to go surfing before school every day. Even though I went to Uni in Brisbane - which took about 2 hours each way (an hour's drive down the coast and then an hour in Brisbane traffic) - never even considered moving closer because, yeah, it's paradise. And as for being expensive? Well, as a single mum bringing up kids and going back to Uni again as a Mature Student, lived in a couple of the most beautiful houses we've ever lived in! The Gold Coast is pretty tacky these days - crawling with tourists and...yes, expensive.

I’m a Brisbane girl, north side, about 30 mins from Sunny Coast. It’s beautiful. It’s called a surf rod, I’ve caught a shark off the beach with one

Grew up here. Beach nearly every day after school and weekends. Always fished off the beach using a surf rod

OK firstly, yes, most Australians will avoid the Gold coast as it is now way to touristy and expensive but if you want to go where Australians go for our holidays, go to Bali as it is far far cheaper to fly to Bali and stay in a beachside resort from just about anywhere than it is to stay in similar style in Australia. Secondly, yes those legs on the sign are to indicate a pedestrian crossing, good eyes 🙂 Thirdly, if you don't need water access but still want that coatsl lifestyle, just live a couple of miles inland and the prices drop dramatically.

When he was zooming in to look at property prices, he was basically looking a few streets away from my parent's holiday unit.

Total stunner all across the coastline of Australia, inland is just as gorgeous. Down my way in Victoria, we have some awesome beach towns. Ocean Grove, Torquay ( Bells Beach ) Point Lonsdale, Portarlington, Queenscliff and you can drive down the Great Ocean Road. Wouldn't live anywhere else in the but Australia. 🖤

I am a subscriber from Caloundra southern end of sunny coast. My husband is a big surfer but not one of our three sons surf and they had free surfing lessons at primary school.

Grew up on the Sunshine Coast, it's true what they're saying about Noosa, the richie's live there, mostly older people. Maroochydore, Alexandra Headlands, Mooloolaba, Point Cartwright, that's the place to be 👌

It’s called a Surf Rod and I used one to fish from the beach. It can be a lot of fun surf fishing. Try and get good worms as bait.

The Sunshine is quieter and not as overdeveloped as the Gold Coast. I’ve been going there since the 1980s, when Noosa had very little development, not much more than a caravan park and a general store. Despite the growth it has kept its charm. I fondly remember the koalas in the trees in the carpark behind the shops.

The Glasshouse mountains are the core plugs of long-gone volcanos. My relatives own the seaward side of one of the smaller ones called Mount Sippy.

The West Coast is just as stunning !! Try it !

Family moved to Kawana Waters on the Sunshine Coast back in 1984 best place in Australia to grow up

I have been lucky too call the Sunshine Coast home for about 28 years

Noosa is where Melbournians generally go to holiday

Ryan not everyone in Australia holidays in Queensland, some of us stay away from tourist areas for a more quiet experience.

you should really check out the Western Australian coast ! from Broome to Margaret River…Ningaloo Reef to Esperance…Exmouth to Kalumburu…Wave Rock to The Pinnacles ! Best night sky, more stars than you knew existed,Less people more beaches but almost nothing is open after 10pm. makes you kick back n relax ...Lol😅
