    Man it's surreal to see places you know and every day things, like VB and Jim's mowing, in a travel blog.

    • @elizah9408

      It's also really weird to see things like spreadable butter and large real estate signs be remarkable in any way.

    They should really print "Yeah, it's fine" that review on Victoria Bitter bottles, most positive review of it I have ever heard.

    Thank you for subscribing to Parrot Facts. There are roughly 375 parrot species in the world with 56 species in Australia! Galahs, corellas, cockatoos, budgerigars, rosellas, and lorikeets are all parrots. The black cockatoos especially enjoy eating my pine trees, with a very audible crunching sound.

    Nah Melbourne in October is either Sunny no wind no clouds 21 - 25 C or really windy, really wet 15 - 20 C, often times flipping between one and the other several times in an Hour.
    There is a reason why we locals call it as having 4 seasons in one day

    Housing prices got so high most of the more colourful people from St Kilda moved out. They have tours of the old place Nick Cave and co used to play. There is a venue around the back now that has gigs regularly and a pizza place that is 50 years old in 2024. They do remember you even if you have not been for several years.

  • @J01000
    @J01000 7 лет назад +3

    Never before have I ever seen someone have a sip of VB and say "Yeah, that's fine"
    That's hands down the best thing I've ever heard about it.

    Someone I know got married in the St Kilda Botanical gardens. They were adamant I come down for their kid's 1st birthday and then sprung it on everyone. Some people had gone to get drinks when the ceremony happened so few people knew. I still had the photos on one of my cameras 7 years later as I took down a spare one.

  • @stikibunn
    @stikibunn 7 лет назад +22

    And now I shall respond to everything!
    The tower the light's reflecting off at the very beginning is the Eureka Tower. It's upper section is covered in a semi-transparent gold leaf. It is the largest residential building in the Southern Hemisphere.
    Spreadable Butter is common in the United States from what I've gathered from asking around maybe not Canada?
    St. Kilda's seedy past was around the 70's and 80's when illegal street prostitution was commonplace. After the legalization of prostitution the area cleaned up nicely to become very expensive.
    The birds you saw were probably Rosellas or Galahs. Galahs are large pink parrots and Rosellas are small red birds.
    The city's layout is very much like a "Mashup of england and america" That was the point of the original settlers who almost exclusively came from england
    Victoria is a state, not a province.
    "6 bakeries" Yes. Melbourne has a lot of bakeries. I don't know why but almost everything is a bakery now.
    13 dollars IS indeed a lot. I wouldn't pay more then $3.50 for a pastry. But also our minimum wage is $22 an hour so people have more money in general.
    Real Estate signs are a thing I never knew was a uniquely australian thing but apparently that is the case. Although not all properties get a nice full sign like that
    Melbourne weather is weird. In October the weather can go from being cold and windy to hot and sunny to raining in the span of an hour. Seasons are more like guidelines.

      @heatgear good summary my man:) VB is a terrible beer and likewise with fosters. Im sure you have some awesome beers in Victoria but an easy pick would be little creatures (if they sell it there) or crown.

    • @stikibunn
      @stikibunn 7 лет назад +1

      Shan Judo I'm not a beer drinker. It all tastes the same to me anyway so I didn't feel I was able to make beer recommendations.
      I only know that VB is what my dad and everyone else I know drinks

    • @jasperdaniels9045
      @jasperdaniels9045 6 лет назад

      Little bit late of a response, but considering the amount of backeries and where they were walking it was probably Ackland street, in which case there is a lot more than 6 backeries and 13 dollars is about the going rate for pastries like that.

    • @drthmik
      @drthmik 7 лет назад +4

      He IS missing out! I buy softened butter ALL the time... They make it by mixing liquid oils (like olive oil or Sunflower oil etc) in with the butter so that it stays soft even when cold

    • @empath69
      @empath69 6 лет назад

      Sorry for your missing out G* but this end of Canada has spreadable butter. It's more expensive than what I think of as 'baking' butter but you should be able to find in the more out-of-sightline shelves of the dairy cases in BC supermarkets..."Lactinia" is a brand that goes all out on 'fancy' varieties of butter. You should try some of their "cinnamon and brown sugar" stuff on a slice of toast...

  • @BIargityBlarg
    @BIargityBlarg 7 лет назад +5

    One thing about Melbourne that I always notice whenever someone from somewhere else has filmed it (as opposed to, y'know, when I'm walking around in the city that I live in) is the amount of bluestone (basalt) that we use. Most of the gutters and alleyways that you could see in this video were paved with bluestone, which I am given to understand is a quite specifically Melbourne thing. If you go all the way into the city quite a few of the buildings are straight-up built out of it, or at least have a few courses of bluestone blocks making up the bottom meter or so aboveground

    • @stikibunn
      @stikibunn 7 лет назад +1

      BIargityBlarg The entire west of the city' geology is made of basalt. It's the most abundant stone around. It is uniquely Melbournian.

    • @RaydenSavage
      @RaydenSavage 7 лет назад +1

      The dave's spokesman voice is how Graham talks when he wants to accentuate a particular topic, he talks like that a lot. I'm not saying it isn't awesome to see Dave's spokesman in his vlogs, I'm only stating that it's not that rare.

  • @boonguy4401

    Yeah those Rainbow something birds and big plants are a major part of what I remember about going to Australia to see family 18 years ago (shit I'm getting old). We went during their winter but being from Ontario and stupid kids me and my brother weren't going to miss a chance to swim in the ocean, the locals thought we were crazy.

    • @stikibunn

    @GnuFrontiers 7 лет назад

  • @evilmushroom100
    @evilmushroom100 6 лет назад

    St Kilda is largely a tourist trap these days. As someone else said the 'Seedy Past' was due to prostitution, but it also had a hugely thriving art community in the 70's and 80's. The Crystal Ballroom is where a lot of Seminal Aus Punk bands played back in the day (Nick Cave's first band the Boys Next Door/ Birthday Party played there a lot for instance). I have chatted to a lot of people who lived there when the houses were cheap and they're horrified at what St Kilda has become.

    I'm quite enjoying your Australia trip vlog. I know of St. Kilda's from Kerry Greenwood's "Phryne Fisher" mystery series which is set in the late 1920s. There's also three seasons of TV programs "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries" which was filmed in and around Melbourne including at the amusement park that you walked by on the way to the beach "Luna Park". Thank you for doing this; looking forward to the rest of the trip.

    I should learn to read. I was super confused at how you were there and on AFK stream at the same time. Then I saw October 26 and got even more confused. Then I read 2016 and it finally sank in.

  • @EldarLuin
    @EldarLuin 7 лет назад

    From what I understand, Australian houses are sold by auction, so having the description on the outside like that kinda makes sense. Saw a segment on selling houses on CBC Marketplace last year; Should still be online I would think.

    • @rayneofsalt9217
      @rayneofsalt9217 7 лет назад

      Yeah, nah, sorta-kinda-not-really. Some are sold by auction, some aren't. Auction usually gets you a better price though, and generally cons the buyer into thinking they got a good deal.
      The agents just use the big signs to attract attention, and you've gotta put something on 'em, so why not some pictures and a description? Real Estate Peacocking is probably the best way to describe it.

    • @EldarLuin
      @EldarLuin 7 лет назад

      Fair enough. I'm not Aussie, I'm a Canuck. Thanks for the explanation.

    Such a Canadian review of VB (which, as an Australian, I can say is the most toxic, disgusting thing I've ever consumed) "Yeah... it's fine." You're allowed to dislike it, Graham

    • @empath69
      @empath69 6 лет назад

      Sam Spurling yeah but you gotta remember: 70% of Canadians live within 100km of the US border, so we (well more 'they' since I'm teetotal) are strongly influenced by cheap 'imported' American lagers...so maybe it IS fine from that perspective. Still not "good" (because we KNOW G* is quite familiar with good craft brews and the like) but still not the worst he's encountered?

  • @patrickcurtis3830

Turns out it's not I Cant Believe It's not Butter! And it's actually a brand called Land o Lakes and it says it's spreadable butter. Guess I got confused.

    • @ProfessM
      @ProfessM 6 лет назад

      $13 is not fine for two Australian pastries. Where are you buying your pastries from? OK, so a lot of places charge that much for two pastries, but my point stands that it's not a normal amount of money to charge for pastries in my opinion.
