Do Maribyrnong please
Thanks for the idea. I’ve been thinking about doing a video on Maribyrnong-it’s on my radar. I’ll fit it in when I can find some time. Stay tuned!
Lived in Kensington for many years. It is like a small village yet 4kms from the city
You’re so lucky to live in such a leafy neighborhood with easy access to the city. 🍃I wonder, do you think there are any downsides to living in Kensington?
Great video mate !!😊
Thank you, Nick!😃
@@MelbWestExplorer You are welcome my friend !
I lived in Footscray late 70's to early 80's, nearly 4 years. It was very cosmopolitan back then, clean, safe with a diverse population. You did a great job explaining how it is now. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing! I’ve received a lot of comments saying Footscray in the ’70s and ’80s had a totally different vibe-more family-friendly and welcoming. Sad to say, some areas are quite dirty and unkempt now.
I like how you included the raw audio from some of the footage.
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll try to include more raw audio in my next videos.
I haven't seen the videos with the AI voice but in this one your voice was great. Very clear and you explained everything really well.
Thank you for your kind words!😃
Coming from Sydney...what I noticed was that while Melbourne CBD is excellent...you guys dont have your own parramatta, chatswood, burwood etc...style hubs. Its pretty flat, urban sprawl in the suburbs. Get out of this American Propaganda single family home on a quarter acre block, car dependant mentality and densify and bring in lots of essential services, restaurants, entertainment, public transport connections, and other amenities.
No way seen go up
Werribee..great place to live to bring up children . Schools everywhere shopping centres every where and lovely walks near river area and lots of other attractions. Lots of greenery and well kept. Don’t have to take out massive loans from banks and have to live in crappy old houses that cost a fortune on the other side of town. Lived here for a long time so was able to pay off the house quickly while the stuck up bozos on the other side are still paying off their dumbass huge mortgage whilst living in their rundown home which is half renovated. We continuously travel and live well …that’s the benefit of not buying in stuck up bozo suburbs.
Try living in Sunshine or St Albans ... Ran away from there years ago ..Highest crime rate
Hi Peter! I’d love to hear more about your experiences in Sunshine and St Albans. Personally, Sunshine seems alright to me, but St Albans has a bit of a sketchy vibe. What do you think?
I love Point Cook. Walk to Williams Landing Station is a nice nature trail. Plenty of parks in each neighbourhood. Sanctuary Lakes is like a holiday gettaway within this suburb.
Why name a library after Julia Gillard! A joke
I Love Werribee

Only the first point about investment return is specific to Docklands. However, it depends when you buy/bought. Overwhelmingly, originally, the apartments were bought off the plan by overseas investors who paid way too much for them at the time. Many are down by about 30% of their original purchase price over the last 10 years. There are currently 4 new apartment blocks being built in Docklands, mostly advertised to overseas investors and again I can see they are at least 25% above real value. For me, as a citizen, I can buy second hand apartments, I am not restricted to new and off the plan. I bought an amazing apartment on Collins Street with a water view for $267,000 less than the original purchase price when new. My chance of an increase of value may not be massive over the next 5 years but I am unlikely to see a 30% drop compared to the original owner and the rental return for the price paid is very reasonable. The Collins Street part of Docklands is the best area of Docklands by far and is always competitive for overseas students looking to rent due the closeness to the city and free tram terminus.
Hi Richard, thanks for sharing your perspective. Unfortunately, I was one of those foreign investors who overpaid for a waterview apartment on Collins Street back then! 😂
@@MelbWestExplorer Ouch! Sorry about that.
You should explore the Southeast
I love this channel, just found it
Thank you!😃 I’m quite curious about the southeast and would love to explore it more.
Hi. don't forget the hussle and bussle of noise. Cats and Dogs howling and meowing or fighting.. the smell of peoples arm pits. Animal poop on the footpaths. back in those days. In the morning i roll up the kitchen blind only to see another neighbour looking at me. Trains. Trams. Buses. Airplanes. Car Horns. the list goes on. I am very Happy away from all that..To living with Nature. and fresh air..😀
Footscray Market see the Council about the cleanliness of the Market.. They want tell who reported the Issue.. so don't worry go and tell the Council..
Thank you for your video. You probably should also talk about a pocket of Werribee south of Princes hwy that initially was populated by many Italian immigrants. Some houses there are up to a million and over.
Thanks for the info! I've noticed that the neighborhoods along Wattle Ave have such beautiful, well-maintained front gardens. I didn’t know it was originally populated by Italian immigrants.
Hot take from a Melbourne resident of 12 years: the inner north's dirtiest secret is that the vast majority of people who live there also drive everywhere. Unless you live *in* Brunswick itself, Coburg, Northcote, Thornbury, Preston are all just as car centric. Bell Street is horrendously car-centric.
Just been to Europe. Australia is too spread out. Go more vertical with open space in-between. Town planning here is abysmal.
Footscray is amazing
Thank you for the honest and clear review!! ❤
thanks!😊
Born and lived in outer Melbourne for 57 years and iv heard this area or that area is rough and dangerous well lv also lived in France for a year in both Paris and Marseilles and I can tell you people here don’t know what rough and dangerous really is !
In Australia, i found no one had any stories to tell. There is no folklore at all, even their newspapers are so dull. And everyone, more so their old folks always seem to be angry over everything possible. People don't speak and even if they do, can’t put coherent words together. Their new generation is way behind others in the world in terms of technology. May be after these oldies find their way to the clouds, something will change and Australians will find life more exciting.
I appreciate your videos but not the AI voice
Nice area!.
Have they improve, bus and Train stations ?
There is something that was missed! Eastern outer suburbs are not as depressing as the western examples "shown in the video". A lot of people think that trees will grow in western outern suburbs with time. No! they wont. The west is a "rain shadow area", it rains approximately 50% less between West gate bridge and Geelong ( compared to rest of Melbourne and its east or south east ). The west will never be as green. You need natural watering source from the sky to sustain "natural plant/grass growth" and that is scarce in the west. This is the reason, you see fake grass in most western suburbs. Its not just ease of maintainence of the fake grass, the natural grass looks brown if it cant be naturally irrigated in the summers. It is indeed depressing across the entire other side of west gate bridge. The only benefit with western suburbs is the proximity to the city and warehouses. Other than that, it is a piece of @$%%&&@
Crap, soulless, treeless wasteland strangled by traffic and noise. Boring cookie cutter tacky built dwellings all grey roofs. Welcome to shitsville.
Melbournian here living in the inner east. I've been to both of Toorak and Point Cook, and they are not even close in any aspect. The thumbnail image is so misleading.
This issue has more to do with the economical divide in Australia in addition to city planning. Who the hell can afford in the inner city suburbs unless you are privileged or are on a 3 figure salary.
Is Amazing place a have work around the citys but Point cook is my favorite place ❤
Being a Interstate visitor from South Australia my impression about Wirrabee station it's dirty, horrible, very unwelcoming, the toilet are absolutely disgusting and so out dated and yet the Victorian government are willing to spend tax payers money on the level crossing removal projects and upgrade other stations but Wirrabee station don't get any upgrades. I feel really bad for the local commuters they still have to use a very out dated and dilapidated station but in the meantime other stations our getting a much needed upgrade and Wirrabee station sadly misses out
I've been living in Werribee for about 12 years.
Different perspective for white people.
Which area of werribee should we consider buying for family please advise $500k to $580 ? Your response is appreciated in this challenging time.
If you hate us whites then stay out
Australia is probably the safest country in the world. But police still protest for higher wages.
This video is ridiculous not every place can be or look the same if you prefer going to the other places do it but also not everyone can afford to live in St Kilda
My son does judo In Footscray. It was about 7pm when we just exited the studio. We heard screaming and then the shattering of a glass bottle. 3 winos had gotten into it and one was hitting himself in the head over and over while the other screamed at him. It was out the front of Mr West and it was 6.30pm Footscray is a fucking dive
Tarneit is a hell hole. Worked there for 5 years and still have PTSD
I lived there for 32 years and moved down to the South West coast when I retired. It had a country town feel to it in the early days, I think we had 1 pizza shop open in the evening. It has quite a buzz about it now and a lot more going on but got too built up and congested as we got older.
Footscray is nowhere near dangerous, day or night
Hi Terrance, thanks for your comment!😀 Which suburb do you think is dangerous?
I was mobbed by 6 Africans a month ago for just walking past them at night. I'm from Brisbane and the African people up here are very nice people but in Melbourne their very disrespectful and a danger to the community. Footscray very dangerous at night.
It must have been so frightening. I hope you’re doing okay after what happened.
great video:) i used to live in werribee and also the wyndham area, we moved to tasmania in 2013, its a completely different lifestyle here. id love to come back home to werribee at some time, theres so much more to do than here in launceston. ive just subscribed to your channel, nice to be onboard :)
I’m glad you enjoyed the video! It’s great to hear from someone who’s lived in Wyndham. Since you moved in 2013, the population has grown a lot, so things might be a bit different from what you remember. Tasmania sounds like a peaceful change of pace. Thanks for subscribing-happy to have you onboard!
2:49 Werribee is generally a safe place? You must be smoking Walter's blue crystal, Werribee is a dump.
I was actually watching Breaking Bad Season 4 when I read your comment. I'm curious, what makes you feel that Werribee is a dump? I'd love to hear your perspective.
No excuse for homelessness with boarded up public housing earning state government zero rental income. The government is broke
Thanks
i would rather kill myself than live in the outer or even middle ring suburbs
