    This brilliant video really covers so much and has given us so much information. Some of the places I have already visited and your descriptions are so accurate. A lot of work went into producing this and for this we owe you a big thanks. It really is a must see for anybody visiting Melbourne.

    15:23 the shrine is honestly so underrated. photos and videos just don't do it justice. the walk up the path and steps to the shrine gives me chills just thinking about it... it's such a solemn and beautiful place, regardless of how busy it is at the time... i recommend going at night time when it's all lit up.

    Hey guys! I started watching your videos a year ago when I decided I wanted to move to Melbourne and now I’ll be landing there in 2 days. Your videos actually helped us a lot, and as a creators we have to congratulate you because you really improved a lot!!

    Saint Patricks Cathedral is one of my favourite places. I am a singer, and adore the acoustics. I have sung here so many times with school choirs over the past 7 years. The sound just rings out and fills the massive space, and it really is a beautiful experience. If you are lucky enough, You might get a nice ray of sunlight through the windows which creates such a beautiful glow. If you do go there, please don't take photos of the performers if there are some there, especially if it is a school choir. Every time I have been there, I have had tourists come and take photos of use, while we are in school uniform. Not only does it distract us, but it also violates our privacy. We have no idea where those photos are going and we never gave them permission.
    Saint Patricks Cathedral is such an incredible place to visit, even if you aren't religious. I have lived in Melbourne my entire life and never get tired of visiting it.

      November is the last month of Spring (Southern Hemisphere so our seasons are opposite). Weather should be nice but I'd still bring some warm-ish clothes (e.g. jeans, maybe a jumper or two) and a jacket just in case, as Melbourne's weather is extremely variable and can go from warm to rainy within hours.

    • @lukestewy304
      @lukestewy304 Месяц назад

      Could be better for accessibility, but I believe it is quite good, most trams not all, but a good amount are wheelchair friendly, sometimes one tram isn't but the next one usually is. Trains are friendly and conductors put down the ramp so there is no gap from platform,
      With the pint price, sadly this video was 5yrs ago and a $7 pint would be less then a fiver maybe 4 pounds, sadly beer price has gone crazy a pint would be more then doubled in 5yrs, I'd expect it would be 10-11 pounds now, how much is it in Britain today?

      @attomicchicken 5 лет назад

      Yes. If they titled it as "Interesting things to do in Melbourne" it would've been a more accurate video. Nothing here is "cheap". There's also too many repeats with coffee and alcohol places.
      Maybe it's "cheap" by people who live in the cbd but $6.50 for banh mi? The corner Vietnamese bakery is crying.

      End of May it should be starting to get a little cold. But with Melbourne to be honest weather is so unpredictable. People always say it has four seasons in one day. In May it will probably be quite cold in the mornings but not so cold during the day. Have a great trip. You will love it in Melbourne :-)
