I lived in Sydney for one year and I visited Melbourne for one week. Even if I love Sydney for the bay, the beaches and the nature surrounding, the most beautiful australian city is Melbourne, without doubts!
We have! Make sure you check out one our latest videos including Perth ruclips.net/video/-PpVC23DNTU/видео.html and Western Australia ruclips.net/video/MLJO7ZgSW2A/видео.html
Unfortunately September is probably the worst weather wise in Melbourne. January to April is the best with March being the standout. The Great Ocean Road is amazing in warm sunny weather. Thanks for the video. Glad you enjoyed.
@@theoutofofficetraveller Check a weather app at least twice a day because the forecast can change quickly 😊 Unless you're sure it'll be sunny all day, it's wise to carry a foldable umbrella and a jacket, because you never know when you might need them! Also a wide-brimmed hat and sunscreen for Dec-Mar, as the summer sun can be brutal even on a cloudy day.
Melbourne is nice and is not a wannabe Sydney or a miniature version of Sydney. It has its own character and history. But Melbourne gets far more rain than Sydney. The stopover in Singapore is a great idea. I've been visiting Singapore since the 1980s. I could gladly spend a week out of every month in Singapore. It's great for just walking and exploring.
As someone who lives on phillip island for 19 of my 21 years of life, I can tell you that phillip island only see's about 4-5 months of summer weather if we're lucky.
It always baffles me that people are suprised that melbourne gets cold. Australia is a huge place and Melbourne is to the south of the continent. No one expects Seattle to have the same weather as Palm Springs.
Mistake I made at Philip Island was to keep gaping out at sea to eentualsea a few penguins coming into shorebnot realising most of the penguins were behind me on land; weren't informed about this by the bull driver.
Whilst I myself live in a relatively nice neighbourhood in Melbourne. The city itself has a number of attractions and the outer parts of Melbourne are also appealing in some respects. However I wouldn't rate it highly personally. Yes it's clean in some spaces but overall the bay is pretty flat windswept and hardly appealing during winter. It's mostly quite flat therefore the views are quite bland looking into the distance. It's a nice place and it kind of depends where you live. I would prefer to live elsewhere.
Very beautiful, clean and great location to visite. Juste some local offices were worst, a woman fake catherine protheau and his men since Airport, hope no more such for next trip.
Given the AFL Grand Final is held on the last Saturday in September and the video opens on Grand Final day, in which month do you think the footage was shot?
I know! We are working professionals who like to maximise our holidays / annual leave. So it's always a difficult balance between how much we can see in the limited time we have! But of course, if we could have stayed longer in Melbourne (and Australia) we would have loved to!
@@conniep3164 I am. 40 days and counting. Cannot wait. You people are as miserable as the weather. Enjoy your overpopulated, road raging, overpriced, shty weather, bankrupt state.
Victoria lol, not Melbourne. Philip Island etc etc is not in Melbourne, nowhere near actually 😂. Melbourne is the city and surrounding metro suburbs, calling Philip Island Melbourne is exactly like calling Melbourne Philip Island. they're completely different locations, nowhere near each other in the state of Victoria. you said you live in the UK right? Would you call London Bristol? 😂
I will not go back to visit Melbourne again.I don't like Melbourne.There is nothing special to see there.The weather is pretty bad.I went to visit Great Ocean Road last week but it was cloudy and raining and even if I wore a hoodie I still felt very cold.I didn't proceed the trip, went back to Melbourne from Winchelsea.I prefer Sydney.I definitely will go back to visit Sydney again, and probably some other cities but NOT Melbourne.
The thumbnail is about 3 hours away from Melbourne… they had to use a photo from somewhere else because Melbourne is a shit hole lol and yes I live in Victoria so I know exactly what I’m talking about!
Melbourne is the name of ONE of the teams from the city of Melbourne. There are others. Geelong is a provincial city approximately 70 kms from the Melbourne CBD.
I know you've been told this before, yet it's worth repeating: Geelong isn't in Melbourne. Geelong is classified as the second largest city behind Melbourne. Geelong can't be a part of Melbourne when it fits the aforementioned definition. Remember, Brad: aeroplane glue was invented to assemble model aeroplanes.

It is one of our favourites too!
You have not then been to Perth !

@@johnstaring3210Perth 😂😂😂
Try living out west on the other side of the West Gate. It's affordable but shocking in some spaces.
Excellent vlog. I live in Melbourne and love it.
We hope we did your city proud even though we had a short amount of time in Melbourne! We love it too
I live in Melbourne. I still really enjoyed this. Well done
Thank you so much for your feedback!
I use to live in Melbourne.. Had to move for family reasons.. Miss Melbourne tremendously.. People are so nice there too.!
Couldn't agree more!!!
Thank you for this video. Very useful tips for people who are visiting Melbourne for the first time. Especially Great Ocean Road = Highly recommended!
Got it all Melbourne, even a river of iced coffee. Love it.
I live in Geelong, on the Great Ocean Rd.
Best time to come is in September- October, but the wether is very unpredictable.

Hopefully we get to experience Melbourne next time - in all of its glory! Any additional tips for next time?

@@FionaEm very sound advice!!!
Except for this March/ April! 🌧️
Unfortunately La Niña played a big part where Melbourne coped above average rainfall around that time in2022 .
Just visited Melbourne I loved it. Next time I will drive myself to reach may more places in Victoria
Thanks for this excellent video ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!!!
Am moving there very soon. I hope your guide will be helpful. Thanks.

Incorrect. Sydney gets way more rain than Melbourne....it just seems like its the other way round *google 😊
Best sunny weather in January February march
Australian summer! That's great to know, thank you!

Australia 🇦🇺
hy.. for the great ocean road, do you use tour agency also? same as the phillip island?

You misnamed practically everything!
Really gives me the irrits when Americans don't make an effort with pronunciation. Plus not checking weather of a place before going. Really naive.
Very beautiful, clean and great location to visite.
Juste some local offices were worst, a woman fake catherine protheau and his men since Airport, hope no more such for next trip.
4 days in Melbourne, no that was 4 days in Victoria
Hi, great vid! May I ask if you can share the link of the tour company?
Hi sure - it was called "1 Day Great Ocean Road Tour" at www.ridetours.com.au led by Cam. Great tour guide - highly recommended!
Thanks a lot!! 💕
January/ February / March best weather in Melbourne!
Yeah 40 degrees and windy. Awesome
Which months were these when you travelled ?
It was September 2022
Given the AFL Grand Final is held on the last Saturday in September and the video opens on Grand Final day, in which month do you think the footage was shot?
Whats the name of the tour agent you use?
I used an agent called Ride Tours - despite the weather it was a really good company / tour guide
Its safe clean and lucky country better then European unions and United kingdom many times
Why do you visit places for such short times?
I know! We are working professionals who like to maximise our holidays / annual leave. So it's always a difficult balance between how much we can see in the limited time we have! But of course, if we could have stayed longer in Melbourne (and Australia) we would have loved to!
Melbourne is not perfect by any means but you can do far far worse. I like it.
It really is a great place
Yeah nah Philip island and the great ocean road are NOT in Melbourne! They are places in Victoria!
Um..........the narrator did explain the Phillip Island and the Great Ocean Road trips were day excursions from Melbourne.
LA Nina didn’t help that year .
This is true 😅
Just don’t go to great ocean 12 apostles. Not worth it.
The weather is often described as shitawful. This place is a hole
It’s a really nice “hole”, I enjoyed my time there even if it was chilly for most of my stay.
Have you lived there?😊
@@conniep3164 no. I LIVE there.
@@nickolas6060 you should move if you think it’s so awful.

Melbourne run by a Dictator i
They voted him back so your thoughts are in the minority
@@Glenn-ei3xp No, the bloke who got less than 40% of first preferences is in the minority
Australia is run by the US

You obviously don’t know what you’re talking about, Melbourne ain’t a shit hole, that’s just your opinion, I live here too
I live in Melbourne and I know that it is a marvellous city!
liar!
Live in melbourne...travelles over 20 countries...melbourne is a shit hole absolutely horrible city
And which cultural oasis, located three hours drive from Melbourne, do you reside in?
It is worth it. The coffee experience is ok they could work on enhancing it.🍪🍪☕☕
Wow....don’t where you were getting your coffee but Melbourne was voted best coffee in the world recently and this is from a Sydneyite.
We featured Brother Baba Budan in the video (and liked a lot), but other places highly recommended to us include Kit Espresso, Patricia's and Dukes
Compared to the watery muck they serve in the US, Melbourne coffee is the equivalent of drinking liquid gold.
Geelong is in Melbourne, when you say Melbourne didn't make the final, you meant the CBD didn't make the final 🤦😂
Geelong isn't in Melbourne. It's 70km south-west.
