    As someone who has been visiting Melbourne for years and who is planning on moving by the end of the year, I think your pros and cons were right on the money. I find driving in Melbourne incredibly scary too!! I intend to bring my car, but will only use it if I have to e.g. will be using public transport to get around, day-to-day. I love the public transport system there, it really is very good, overall. I think Melbourne has the best vibe of any city I have ever been to; whatever your ethnic background, you are just part of the mix. And of course, the food is amazing! Now to keep on looking for apartments....

    I remember Melbourne in the early 60’s. In the suburb where I lived we had a couple of fish n chip shops and a Chinese restaurant. If you wanted takeaway you had to bring your own saucepan. Now you can eat in a different country everyday for a year. Hook turns are easy. As for the beaches at least you’re not getting swept out to New Zealand.

    Jamie I'm also from Perth (north of the river, not too far from the ocean) and have also lived in Melbourne for years and years. I miss Perth/WA beaches too! 😭 I was a "water baby" growing up, thankfully my lifestyle isn't beach-dependent as an adult but I'd still like to have the option of being able to go to a great suburban beach without leaving the city.
    I actually like the changeability of Melbourne's weather, for the most part, because I know that if there's a scorching 40 degree day there's a good chance of the heat breaking tomorrow. A reprieve. Whereas in Perth summers it's just way too damn hot, over and over.
    And I empathise with those memories of musicians skipping Perth!
    I'll add a pro: Because there are lots of people in Melbourne who are from elsewhere, I think it's easier to strike new friendships, people on the whole are less insular and less limited to their existing/longstanding friend groups.
    And a con: How long the winters are. I don't mind the cold so much, but winter seems to start earlier and end much later here than in Perth.

    • @SundayswithJamie
      @SundayswithJamie  2 года назад +2

      That’s so cool that you’re from Perth as well, Joanne!! That’s such a good point about the weather, I really struggled during summer in Perth haha and yes!! Feel like Melbourne’s winter lasts very long. Completely agree with you about making new friends here ☺️

    Regarding the beaches in Melbourne - Melbourne is on the Yarra River ( joined by the Maribynong River) which empties into huge Port Phillip Bay which empties into Bass Strait. The greater city area wraps around the bay on the east and west. There are quite are a number of beaches on both sides of the bay. Then there are more beaches on the Mornington and Bellarine Peninsulas and the open sea not too far away.

    On the beaches - Greater Melbourne offers awesome beaches and I've been snorkelling here for almost 2 years now, i.e., Ricketts Point, Half Moon Bay, the beaches of the Mornington Peninsula, etc. These beaches are only 15 minutes to an hour's drive from the CBD and sure, the waters are cold, especially in the autumn and winter months, but I love the sea life and diversity here. I guess it also depends on people's preferences, i.e., tanning, picnicking, amenities, and the like. But if that's the case, most of the beaches from the CBD to the east and to the west (extending outside Greater Melbourne) have tons of these to offer as well.

      Melbourne is CHEAP. There are apartments for 300-400k in the Melbourne CBD whereas a 1 bedroom in Sydney CBD is 800k- 1mil. There are also African refugees coming in to Melbourne because it’s cheap which means property values will be going down.

      I definitely agree with Patricia & Adrian on their points (I’ve lived in Melb my whole life). If you’re into a more fast paced city, a BIG night life, more diversity in people, food, cultures, entertainment + you’re okay with unstable weather (carry a small umbrella lol) and you’re good at managing your time (because you often have to factor 1-2 hours of commuting into your plans 🥲 painful sometimes) then you’ll vibe with Melb really well. The beaches in Melb are definitely pathetic😅 but you can have day trips or even a night away/weekend away when you explore beaches outside of Melbourne (there are some stunning areas around Victoria). Road trips are soooo fun on a summer day!
      I’ve visited Perth a handful of times & have family that live there to provide insight. It’s muccch more laidback & traffic (driving) isn’t as long or intense from experience. During my visits, I realised 40 minutes drives were considered ‘long’ by my family in Perth because everywhere is fairly close/ quick to drive to. The weather seems pretty damn perfect and predictable, the near by beaches were nice. Only downside for me was shops closing so early (I think 5pm? Someone pls correct me) and the lack of night life (because I’m too use to the Melb night life). Otherwise, it was very calming and relaxing ☺️

    I used to hate the weather too, now i miss it. Living in hot summer weather all year round gets really boring, who knew you live inside more in hot weather. You can't compare the bay beaches with actual beaches. The weather helps the city to be vibrant, when you live in seasons it encourages changes, fashion changes, menu's change. I also miss the Wine regions, only 45 mins away, cultrally progessive country towns like Daylesford and threntham. No where else in Australia has the diversity vibrancy and also work opportunities.
