Christian and the team share stories of hope, resilience, and the power of community. We talk about the extraordinary GoFundMe for Ahmed, a hero who saved lives in Bondi, and the overwhelming support that followed.

There are personal stories of kindness and generosity, including Christian’s very funny mistake of accidentally leaving the Airbnb and his wife’s response, plus chats about cricket movies, favourite songs for Sydney, and a $500 voucher giveaway to Harvey Norman.

Christian and the team reflect on a week shaped by resilience, community, and unexpected kindness. From heartfelt moments with first responders to stories that remind us how small gestures can mean everything, this episode captures a city pulling together. Along the way, Christian shares personal highlights, surprising encounters, and a few classic cultural oddities, from hidden historic pubs to panthers that may or may not exist. There’s humour, humanity, and a genuine sense of connection as the team gets to know Sydney beyond the postcard version.
