Your video about Melbourne was very informative for a tourist. Well done ! I live in Melbourne and I love it. My parents emigrated to Australia in the 1950 from the UK and all of their children are so glad that they did, are thankful and feel blessed. Australia is a wonderful country to live in.
When you coming over to Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺 you will love it I'm also from the UK 🇬🇧 originally came to Australia in 85 love ❤️ it here if you need any help or support let me know kind regards Peter 😊
Thank you so much for your video. Tourism and migration are so important to Australia as most Australians work in service related industries. Australians are also great travellers and work hard to improve the experience of being in Australia. Please come back and also keep promoting all the great places that you travel.
I watched this because I’m thinking about returning to Australia after living in California for a few decades. Not sure where I want to be - Sydney where I grew up or Melbourne where it’s less glitzy and a more relaxed pace of life. Liked your honest opinion about things. Amazed you did so much despite jet lag.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I also went to brisbane (there's another video) personally I liked that more than both melbourne and Sydney but everyone's taste is different.
Glad you enjoyed Melbourne. Best city in Australia (and I've lived in a few!) Stalactites is a part of the old Greek quarter in the CBD. It's an institution, but definitely not flash 😅 Plenty of other much nicer places to try. Next time, try the Yarra Valley wineries instead of Puffing Billy, and venture outside the CBD to an inner suburban shopping & cafè strip like Brunswick Street 😊 The Twelve Apostles are a fair drive from Melbourne; best to stay overnight at a seaside town like Torquay or Apollo Bay.
Melbourne is awesome but finding all the best food and best places to visit takes time depending what you're into. Exploring Melbourne is a major part of the fun though. Exploring Victoria is fun too.
@@amelia.exploresYep, the Gold Coast is overrated (I can say that because I'm from Queensland originally!) Plenty of nicer, more relaxed beachside areas in NSW and Qld to explore.
I live in Melbourne and agree Stalignites the restaurant is overrated. Also puffing billy tourist trap. Fitzroy and Brunswick and Stkilda are cool places
Australia is a perfect example of what the British are capable of when they put their mind to it. Hope you enjoy my country and get to like it. Have fun and enjoy it. CHEERS.
Nice CD collection. Shame you didn't have time to make it to any of the 100's of rock n roll venues we have. Maybe next time. Melbourne is considered by many international artists as the music capital of the world.
@@amelia.exploresGod. There's so many. I have 30-40 within 20 min walk from my house. Some of the ones around the city I go to are: Esplanade Hotel, Tote Hotel, Stay Gold, Retreat Hotel, Northcote Social Club, Croxton Bandroom, HiFi Bar, Cherry Bar, Gem Hotel, Bendigo Bar, Lulie St Tavern, Last Chance Rock n Roll Bar, Memo Music Hall, Old Bar, Bar Open, Evelyn Hotel, St Kilda Bowling Club, but that's just the tip. Obviously there are bigger places that international bands will play at too like KISS (or Taylor Swift) at the MCG/Melbourne Cricket Ground that seats 100,000 or like QATSA @the outdoor SydneyMyerMusicBowl, but little venues like The Gem Hotel (free) will have surprise acts like J.Mascous (Dinosaur Junior) solo... Plus there's heaps of micro breweries that have bands like Bonneyrig Brew House. So, so many. We're spoilt for choice. Maybe look at a 12 month work visa for next time so you can see the less touristy stuff.. 🎶🎸🍻 keep on rockin 🎧🎵🔅
Crosonts.. just go to Coles 3 for about 3$ l only eat crosonts with ham and cheese in it..city food is not that good you do have pick the right resterants you might as well get a pub meal or maccas
I found my English Christmas underwhelming and slightly depressing, everybody goes straight back to work. It feels more festive and fun much in the middle of the summer holidays.
Did some research.Melbourne is voted the third most liveable city in the world, twentieth best city in the world, tenth best city for culture, live musical capital of the world, Fifteenth great music cities of the world and sporting capital of the world.Sporting capital of the world?Yes, Melbourne hosts the world's richest handicap horse race, the Melbourne Cup, which is responsible for a public holiday.The AFL Grand Final, attracting one hundred thousand fans and also is responsible for a public holiday.The Australian Open, a tennis Grand Slam event, the Australian Formula One Grand Prix, the Australian Motor Cycle Grand Prix at Phillip Island and the Boxing Day Test, one of the most famous matches in international cricket.The city also hosts a number of festivals, too numerous to detail.
Actually as a former Tasmanian and now resident of Sydney, I am very concerned about the lack of intellectual intelligence in Melbourne! Followers achieve nothing great, real, imaginative or creative! 🤔
@@junebreheny7658 this person is a serial Melbourne basher, she seems to have a real chip on her shoulder when it comes to Australia's most livable city. I think the 'intellectual intelligence' of Tasmania may have risen slightly and Sydney's took a dive when she moved from one to the other.
Melbourne has gone downhill over the years - I’m so glad I left there. Its “liveability” has declined a lot over the last decade or more and the weather is really lousy.

Thank you so much! I'm heading back there soon, this time to the west coast so hopefully I'll get some more great footage.

Great video showcasing a bit of my hometown Melbourne...so glad you liked your stay here and hope you come back one day. 😊❤

Thanks :) I'm returning to Australia in a few weeks, this time the east coast. I'm excited to see some of the more remote areas!

@@amelia.explores thanks for the tip about Brissie. Will you be posting a Sydney episode?
@davidlang1125 yes! I am hoping to upload a hamilton island video this weekend and then I'll get working on sydney! Will message you when it's up :)
@@amelia.explores post production can be a bitch!
Melbourne is run by racial protests, persistent crime and constant noise!

Lune is on trend so expensive. There are many other bakeries in and around Melbourne that offer great croissants and other pastries.
This is a really well made/written video, well done.
Bill Bailey says, forget the east coast. Western Australia cracks open your soul. Fwiw…
I'll find out soon enough!
@@amelia.explores WA lol TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hot there.
@@DanielKing-dk5nrPerth city is dull as.
Really wonderful video with great tips.
Thanks, I've had loads of comments about the bad sound 😟 so I'm glad you liked it.
Why does everyone seem to want to go to the Gold Coast? It's a beach and theme parks with tall buildings. There are so many other interesting places.
I think its because its talked about so much. I'm actually heading to WA soon so will see what that's like.
@@amelia.exploresYep, the Gold Coast is overrated (I can say that because I'm from Queensland originally!) Plenty of nicer, more relaxed beachside areas in NSW and Qld to explore.
Saw the album "Some girls ". You had me.
Great taste! 🤘
St Kilda has small boat tours to see the penguins
Oh do they? I'll keep that in mind for next time!
I live in Melbourne and agree Stalignites the restaurant is overrated. Also puffing billy tourist trap. Fitzroy and Brunswick and Stkilda are cool places
It was a little overrated I'm not sure it justified the queue out the door. I didn't get to see St kilda but I wish u had done.

Puffing Billy: traditionally it was for locals to go and have a picnic - thats why you are there for 2 hours
Ahhh I see! Thanks for letting me know.
You walk down to the lake, not river. That's why it's called Lakeside.
Ahhh thank you
Nice Vid, However the audio needs addressing. You speak softly so the volume is low, yet the music is blasting making the vid way too loud.
Thanks, this is really useful feedback. I had some audio trouble with this one, will try address it for future videos!
Crosonts.. just go to Coles 3 for about 3$ l only eat crosonts with ham and cheese in it..city food is not that good you do have pick the right resterants you might as well get a pub meal or maccas
australian christmas is boring.. but melbourne is a nice city i love victoria overall
I found my English Christmas underwhelming and slightly depressing, everybody goes straight back to work. It feels more festive and fun much in the middle of the summer holidays.
Id rather have an Australian Christmas during the summer than freezing your arse off with a cold snowy white christmas. Toooooooooooo cold.
Melburn..
I know! I'm sorry!
farquhaad
It’s not Mel-burn either, more like Melb-un.
They confuse being a bogan with being cultured
You really need to learn how to balance your audio!
Yes sorry someone else said that too! I'm working on it
Any chance you could tell me which part was particularly bad so I can test it?

Wow I didn't know alot of this thanks so much.
This is out of date! Adelaide far outrates Melbourne in international rankings!
Yeah go to Adelaide, it's 1986 there. Just watch out for the serial killers.

What???
