- This video follows the eastbound ride along the M1, with a focus on the West Gate Bridge and West Gate Freeway through Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Very cool Brent. Glad the road works were finished and the weather was good to you.
+GoJoMedia Geoff : It was a pleasure meeting you, king of Australian road videos!
Great job with that, That's a lot of major stuff going on in a short duration with regard to the freeway, very impressive,
+Freewayjim : Thanks! It's an awesome ride...you're right; so much going on in such a short stretch of freeway. This cracks my top 10 list of favorite urban freeway drives anywhere.
Luv the West Gate bridge - a real sense of freedom. I enjoyed your short video a lot!
+Natasha Stojsic : Me too. It's actually one of my top 3 or 4 favorite bridges to drive...even more so, after having the opportunity to drive this on several occasions during my visit, earlier this month.
Thanks for dropping by and watching!
Well, I always wanted to see one of you guys do somewhere that drives on the left... this is fantastic! Can't wait for more.
+MKT Transport Video : 14 more videos to present from Australia...not including the 6-8 additional videos I plan on recording (up toward Brisbane), once I get back in late March or early April. :-)
Lambs love Australia. Looking forward to more videos!
+Upeedina Lamb : Thanks! Going to try and release another video in the next 10 days.
Driving video and song combination is amazing.
Australia's road signs really made me feel like I was back in the United States... Except you are driving on the other side of the road!! This really makes me want to film roads in another country. I'm hoping I can film some in Canada within the next 5 years!
+Mountain West Highways: Most of them are nearly identical to each other (same fonts and graphics). One slight difference is that Australia has a thin green (or blue) outline, outside of the white line of their big green/blue directional signs, but I decided to pass on replicating that, as it'll just add even more editing time. Otherwise, the signage is all the same.
Wait till you see New Zealand
@@IndyCarFan265Yeah, the signage here in N.Z is even more identical to the ones in the U.S.
Being from New Zealand, I noticed some of the comments mentioning how similar the Australian motorway/freeway signs are.
I often drive in Australia and noticed the use of an Alphanumeric route system over a shield route system you guys use in the US and here in New Zealand.
I felt their signs were more "European" when completed to ours which I felt was more similar to the ones in the US. But when it comes to regulatory type signs theirs were more similar to the American ones while ours were more European.
A heads up on our road markings in NZ, we retained the older US style road markings from the 70s.
I've noticed that too. By the way, I'm bringing my filming gear and some funds to Auckland sometime early next year, for vacation and to film a bunch of road-related stuff!
Best way to celebrate Australia Day!
+Rodrigo Sepúlveda : My Aussie g/f was bummed that I didn't extend my trip into this week...would have loved to experience Australia Day for the first time ever.
I have enough footage for a good 15 additional videos around Victoria and New South Wales. Coming soon!
Nice job. Glad you were able to do it after talking about it for so long!
+TheSolarcatcher : Thanks! Well it certainly helped that I became romantically involved with my g/f who lives in Sydney. Next recording adventure will take place, up to and around Brisbane.
I've seen more road videos of this amazing freeway, but it'll never cease to impress me -the skyline view after the bridge is incredible. Also, I really liked the soundtrack, Chvrches is one of my favorite bands and this song fitted the video really well. Good job!
+Roads of Europe (verreme) : Sorry it took me awhile to respond; I've been pretty busy for the past month, but I wanted to say thanks for watching! It really is a great ride into Melbourne. I hadn't even heard of Chvrches until mid-December...once I heard this song, it gave me ideas for how I wanted the video to turn out, even before I had the footage in hand in January.
nice. Not to many people have American, Australian, and Canadian road videos under their belt! A great accomplishment :-D
Also that album "Every Open Eye" by Chvrches is going right into my Spotify album collection. I've never heard of them before but I like it :-D
+Trans Canada Phil : I just thought about that, after reading your comment, lol. I guess you're right. I'm probably the only one in the genre? I'll have footage from Baja California, later this year...so maybe I'll have 4 countries worth of freeways on my channel, before the end of 2016. Anyway, yeah the song is bad ass...the songs off their album sounds a bit like something that would have came out in the 1980's...only heard this particular song for the first time, about a week before the trip, and thought it would work well with the length of freeway I wanted to feature. Also helped out tremendously with the type of opening scene I wanted. Thanks for stopping by!
+FreewayBrent yes that's exactly the opinion I have of Chvurches after listening to the album. It has a very 1984ish "new wave" style sound.
I still want to get out there one day especially to watch the AFL (Aussie Rules Football) grand final at the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground). I think you just drove under it in the tunnel at the end of your video.
Very awesome drive Brent! It's so nice to visit a country with just as an impressive freeway system.
Well done Brent! Great job!
Watching the Australia Open and their wonderful aerial shots, and now I get to see a timely freeway video, with the added bonus of listening to Chvrches playing on one of these videos. As they say in Australia, "thanks mate."
+Alanmania65 : Thank you! I'm glad I discovered this song, less than a week before I departed for Australia. It works a lot better than the original song I had chosen for this video. There's a lot more to come in the coming weeks and months ahead, from Australia.
Such a beautiful-looking city with what looks like a built to perfection freeway system! Nice one as always, Brent!
+Schwenda Productions : Definitely a very nice freeway network. Poking around Brisbane on Google Streetivew; there's some great stuff up there too. Looking forward to recording more stuff in Australia during my next 2 visits in 2016!
Great work, Brent. Love it.
Always enjoy your work Brent!
Thank you very much, once again. Cheers!
Awesome!
Fantastic video!!!
Thank you! I can't believe this was already 7 years ago and I would love to go back.
Enjoyed your Australia road video debut! Well put together with a catchy tune, great views and urban infrastructure highlights, you're really expanding your coverage now!
+rockersk08 : Thanks, man! A lot of hours spent on putting this together. Glad you enjoyed!
Melbourne skyline is so beautiful!
Cool video! I never even thought you would tour one of Australia's freeways. I can't wait to see more tour videos.
+WeatherSTARIII: Make that 14 more Aussie freeway videos, and a couple of very scenic drives as well from around Sydney and Melbourne. I'll be back in a few months to head north up the Pacific Motorway and Highway, up to Brisbane, to capture a lot more footage. Glad you enjoyed!
Awesome video !!!
+Bryah Booth : Thank you! Glad you enjoyed. Video #3 from Australia, showcasing the drive into the heart of Sydney, coming up in about 2 weeks from now.
Awesome music. Love me some chvrches. Great video as always Brent. I look forward to more from Australia.
+PeteTheChopp : Sorry for responding so late; I've been either slammed with work, or preoccupied with the other 2 Aussie videos I've released on TH-cam in the past couple of weeks. Thanks for watching! I love me some Chvrches, as well.
sweet ride whoooo,also love the Australian style trucks on the roadway--very different from our U.S.A type trucks.
+James Wormsley : Some of them do indeed look very different, although others are to the exact same standards of US/Canadian trucks. I guess it just depends on the trucking company, and/or what's been delivered.
Thanks for dropping by and watching!
FreewayBrent yea very interesting indeed,
anytime buddy lol like a boss!!!
Hey Brent...am addicted to your videos, as a total driving addict...well done on your Aussie ones. You will need to do the entire West Gate/Tullamarine and Monash Freeway vids in the next couple of years...just watching again and they have just basically ripped the whole lot up again to widen them all to 6 or 7 lanes each way with new interchanges and flyovers - total eye candy for you!
Also...some other suggestions...the Southern Freeway in NSW from south of Sydney into Wollongong - this freeway goes down a 2500 ft mountain at 110 km an hour - 6 lanes - massive views and very cool
And..the South Eastern Freeway over the top and down the city side of the Adelaide Hills in SA - great 6 lane freeway into Adelaide over and again down a 2500ft mountain.
And..if you ever in NZ you have to do SH1 from Porirua City into Wellington the capital of NZ - it drops straight over the side of an ancient volcano crater, you see the whole of Wellington Harbour as you decend and then you go through a series of flyovers and tunnels straight under the city - its one of my favourite roads ever travelled - check it out!
Scott
Awesome video!
I live in Melbourne, hope to see some more videos in the near future!
(And yes traffic on the West Gate is horrible)
+ParadiseRacer32 : Hey, thanks! Yes, I made sure to time my filming during a holiday week, to avoid any disruptive delays. I studied the traffic for a few weeks before showing up from San Francisco...decided to wait until the 2nd week of January to record this. I have footage for 4 more Melbourne videos in the future.
Oh yeah...I also have a video up from Sydney. Driving into the CBD from the northwest, onto the Warringah Freeway and across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Here's the link, if you want to watch. th-cam.com/video/3uShcm7xjq8/w-d-xo.html
+FreewayBrent Yes I have seen it, also a nice video.
Hope to also see some Brisbane drivelapses! :)
Wow! Nice freeway/highway. feels weird driving on the left side lol.
+wawonas : It felt a bit weird, I have to admit, the first hour or so after picking up my rental car...but fortunately, I didn't have any issues, and that's what counts!
Thanks for watching!
From 40-odd miles back down the road from where you started (Geelong) this is fantastic work, and it's good to see you do your thing down here. That view from the top of the West Gate - looking over Port Melbourne towards Station Pier (normally with the Spirit of Tasmania moored up - looks like you got a cruise liner in the video) - never gets old.
Definitely looking forward to the rest of your Australian videos in the coming weeks. (Shame you've already used that Milky track previously, as that would be really appropriate for you planned trip to Brisbane...)
+Alex Csar: It was a *fantastic* view..in both directions. Especially heading toward the CBD. I'm totally still relishing the entire drive across the bridge and into the city, almost a month after recording this!
I just released my Sydney-Newcastle Freeway video, in case you want to check it out. Thanks for commenting!
Nice clip! loved footage going over the westgate bridge. Ive always liked decent Melbs and Brizzy motorways. Sydneys another story, everytime I go there to my parents Im sucummed to narrow tunnels and motorways and many tolls, however I do like the Syd Bridge though short, and like Pacific motorway to Gos, that motorways like carved rocks out of a movie
Thank you! I've got you covered for the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the freeways and tunnels feeding into and out of Sydney's CBD. th-cam.com/video/6L5qb4vk0fk/w-d-xo.html
Love driving on the west gate bridge
Great job!, I haven't seen driving videos of Australia before, until now!
+Zekrom734 : I'm just getting warmed up. :-) And not just because I experienced 3+ weeks of the glorious Australian summer; I have 14 more Australian road videos to work on. Expect the next Australian freeway video in about 2 weeks from now.
AWESOME!!! can't wait to see them!
+Zekrom734 : Update: Feel free to check out the newest video, showcasing the ride into the heart of Sydney! th-cam.com/video/3uShcm7xjq8/w-d-xo.html
FreewayBrent Ok, thanks! :D
wow.... awesome
+Kerley Moh : Thank you! I've reading your comments on my older videos; hopefully you enjoyed the better editing in this one. I deliberately kept the annotations short and simple in this...I wanted the viewers to primarily focus on the bridge and the Melbourne skyline.
FreewayBrent You're welcome.... well however you do it, it comes out great! I hope one day you'll use Sweet Lullaby again...👌
This is awesome!! So stoked that you got to film some Aussie roads! I live in Canberra, ACT (the capital) and just came back from a Victoria road trip... I have to say that despite having a wonderful freeway network, driving in Vic is painful compared to NSW and QLD, for two reasons:
1) Speed limits are painfully slow - I couldn't believe this road was only 80km/h (50mph)! There are also hardly any speed limits above 100km/h (62mph) even when it would obviously be safe. Sydney's speed limits are generally higher.
2) Victoria is crazy littered with hidden speed cameras that will ping you for 2km/h over the speed limit, so you can't speed even a little bit. I think you passed 3 or 4 on this segment alone! Fun fact: Melbourne has the highest concentration of speed cameras per square kilometre of anywhere in the entire WORLD. Other states are, on the whole, far more generous with tolerance and signposting of cameras. Sydney's Motorway network, with the exception of the tunnels and the M4, has no speed (greed) cameras at all. The Hume freeway in Vic has average speed cameras for over a hundred kilometres that measure your average speed and fine you if it exceeds 110km/h, it's ludicrous! It's funny seeing everyone speed up to around 120km/h as soon as they hit NSW! 😁😁
In my opinion, these are the best freeways to drive on/film in Australia:
VIC: Western Ring Road, Citylink, and Western Freeway to Ballarat.
NSW (the best!): All the Sydney motorways (M5, M1, M2, M4, Warringah, maybe not M7), the Hume Motorway from Campbelltown, the M1 to Wollongong, the M1 to the central Coast (my favourite road in the entire country!), and the brand new Hunter expressway. And the road through the blue mountains even though it's not a freeway. So basically every freeway in the state is great!
ACT: GDE - Tuggeranong Parkway, Parkes Way, Majura Parkway.
QLD: M1 between Gold Coast and Brisbane is a must do, as is the M3 towards Brisbane, and the Gateway Bridge (definitely better than Westgate in Melb)
SA and WA also have some good ones 👍👍
I'm praying Victoria doesn't send you a 2km/h over speeding find in the mail, those bastards!
Anyway essay over, hope you enjoyed Straya and can't wait to see what else you filmed! *Prays M1 to NSW Central Coast is included*
+SleekDan97 : Hey there! Thanks for the thoughtful response. It's nice to read comments like these; it matches the enthusiasm I have for making these videos.
I will say this; the speed cameras do seem to keep people in check, with regards to aggressive driving, knowing that they're one "false" move from getting an automatic photo ticket. However, you are right. The 80 km/h limit on the West Gate Freeway was totally not necessary. I could see perhaps the justification for it on the West Gate Bridge, since the lanes were narrowed to accommodate the widening to 10 lanes, coupled with the fact that it's heavily banked to help heavy rainwater drain off the roadway quickly. However, the rest of the freeway could easily accommodate a 110 km/h with no issues. It does seem like the primary reason for those speed cameras is to raise revenue?
I usually don't like to do "spoiler alerts", but I'll just disclose now (lol) that in Victoria, I also filmed the Monash, Tullamarine/CityLink and the eastern half of the M80 Ring Road. In Sydney, I recorded all the freeway approaches to the Sydney CBD (the Harbour Bridge included), and about half the M2, down to where it seamlessly links up to the Warringah. Also got the best parts of the Sydney-Newcastle Freeway, the Sea Cliff Bridge, and the M1 down to Wollongong.
I'll be back in a few months..my Sydney g/f and I are going to drive up to Brisbane, so I'll be grabbing more footage up that way.
Glad you enjoyed watching this video!
Thanks for replying! Melbourne's low speed limits on freeways really do raise eyebrows about whether it's actually in the name of "safety", or just revenue raising... The Victorian Government raises nearly twice as much revenue from speed cameras as NSW, yet VIC has a lower population and occupies a considerably smaller area!.From memory, the figure was an astonishing $360 million dollars raised in 2014 or thereabouts!
And that's awesome to hear that you filmed so many roads while down here (and got most of the good ones too), I can't wait to watch them all!
On a side note, prepare to be stuck in roadworks on the drive up to Brisbane from about Port Maquarie up. It's slowly being upgraded to a divided highway the entire way (should have been done 10 years ago lol) and should be done by 2020 :)
That skyline rivals or even surpasses most in North America! We really need to step up here!
+highway2heaven91: It's one of the fastest growing skylines in the world...you get the best views of it, if you're heading on CityLink/Tullamarine Freeway (it's the same freeway, but has 2 separate names, depending on which section you're on). Definitely a must-see, if you're into modern architecture!
They sure love driving on the left so much lol
+Boogster Su : Definitely a reminder of the days when Australia was part of the UK. My next 2 international countries will also involve left-handed driving...New Zealand and South Africa!
enjoy the drive and Summer down under in Australia
Hi Brent, we have communicated before. This video still inspires me, I'm heading to Oz next year this will be first stop. Thank you pal and merry Xmas.
Ahh yes, I totally remember you. Have a wonderful time, and Merry Christmas to you as well. Which other cities are you dropping by during your time in Australia?
Sydney too, I have a mate working there at the moment. Then we go with the flow.
Ahh, cool! I'm not sure if I linked you to my Sydney CBD driving video, but this will give you a grand introduction to the driving experience on the multiple freeways, bridges and tunnels there.
th-cam.com/video/6L5qb4vk0fk/w-d-xo.html
Also, if you have the time and money, consider the 3 hour flight to Auckland. Super fun roads to drive along, plus a great restaurant and bar/lounge scene to indulge in. th-cam.com/video/SaJ-39S9NaI/w-d-xo.html
beautiful melbourn
Great Job Brent and your right hand drive vehicle in Australia if used on the SF or LA highway network would have you get out of the car curbside towards a caltrans call box much safer than a left hand car which you had to open towards incoming traffic from the driver side and regarding the video the song is normally played on a EDM radio station like 102.7 KIIS-FM HD radio feed evolution. Nice work and you should have done a collaboration with the FreewayJim group Melbourne based members like Geoff and Bruce both their videos show Melbourne's urban motorway network having speed cameras with speeds from 60 kmh (40 mph) to 110 kmh (70 mph)
Thanks for your long time viewership! So many comments on this video that I haven't even responded to. I just released a brand new video yesterday, showcasing the freeways, tunnels and bridges of Sydney's CBD, if you want to check it out sometime. Merry Christmas to you!
I like the yellow on blue signs for toll roads. Ontario 407 uses white on blue. I would like to see in the US, it would call out the toll roads better.
You have any idea of shooting New Zealand one day? Or Montreal? You're vuideos are pure gold!!! Definately I love them!!! Keep on it!! Grettings from Spain
I don't think I'll be heading back to Montreal for a long time, but since I utilize Air New Zealand to visit my Sydney-based g/f (utilizing the layover in Auckland), I'll probably do a 48-72 hour layover sometime to check out Auckland...and record some good stuff, too!
There is something Boston-ish about all this.
Except there are no potholes or broken pavement
@Gabriel Pineda and it’s not Boston
Melbourn's got so many similarities to Toronto!
There's definitely some similarities between the two cities, no doubt about it!
I worked with a girl who was from Toronto and she said Melbourne was so much alike her home city.
I was going to say the same thing. It does look similar to Toronto, except that Melbourne Australia uses left hand traffic.
What a pleasant surprise. I am looking forward to the rest of the Australia series. How difficult was it to get used to driving on the left side?
+Edward Kollin : Thanks! Not difficult at all...I actually picked up my rental car in North Sydney after visiting all the inner-city districts and suburbs over a 5 day span...then made a 800+ kilometer beeline, straight for Melbourne. I think the fact that all the signage, fonts and lane markings are almost identical to those found in the US, helped for me to make a quick transition to driving in Australia.
There's another 14 or so videos from Victoria and New South Wales to showcase, and there will probably be another 4-6 on top of that, once I return in a few months to head up to Brisbane.
I've always wondered. How was it for you driving on the opposite side of the road?
Great video I hope to see more from Australia.
+Freeway Tim : It was really easy to adapt, to be completely honest. It seems more confusing than it really is, once you actually get behind the wheel. Also helps that all the signs and lane markings are almost identical to US and Canadian standards.
Thanks for watching!
I love the music! What music is it?
Glad you enjoyed! Just for future reference, I list the song artist and title in the closing credits of every video. Song artist & title for this video: Chvrches - "Never Ending Circles"
I think you'll like the soundtrack on my newest video, showcasing the ride along New Zealand State Highway 1 into Auckland, New Zealand. Cheers!
Did you move here??
+George Delgadillo : Nope! Flew into Sydney on the first of this month, then drove down to Melbourne and was in town from the 6th through the 10th, before driving back to Sydney. Just got back to the US, less than a week ago. Recorded enough footage for a good 15 videos throughout Victoria and New South Wales.
Ahh, this reminds me of going to ScienceWorks as a kid.
Maybe We Could Go To The Breakout Room! Wouldn't That Bee Fun? Why Not? They've Got 1 In Tuscaloosa! And In Hot Springs!
Uploaded at the same time as the Australian Open? Coincidence?
+Wesley Tran : Haha, yeah, it actually is a coincidence.
Hey I like the hybrid signage based on the UK Motorway & US Freeway systems. Very interesting. Although I wonder if Americans wouldn't get a clue that green means interstate, blue means US, state, and local roads freeway or not and (only stateside now) purple means tolltags-only tollways.
Yeah, there's definitely *a lot* of American influence on both the signage and lane markings in Australia. The signage is probably 90% American influenced, and 10% UK. Had such a blast driving around Australia. Check out my "Driving Into Sydney" video if you'd like...that's also a great drive into a major Aussie city.
FreewayBrent It's the 10% British influence that makes the difference. I noticed that at multilane turnoffs they don't have "EXIT ONLY" like in the US. Instead they have arrows indicating which way each lane will go and above them, separated by a stripe, are all the destination signs. Sometimes two signs meet right above an arrow --- indicating that lane will split. Very easy to understand! Plus all the arrows point UP, not down. A pet peeve of mine is when they use down arrows at a 45 degree angle at the edge of a sign here in the US indicating that the next lane too takes you to the sign's destination. Especially prevalent in Florida! Grrrrr......
PfctvsPontivsPilatvs : Yeah, very good observations. Here's the Sydney video I was talking about. th-cam.com/video/3uShcm7xjq8/w-d-xo.html
Another thing I really like about Australian signage, is that the exits to streets are boxed with a white backround, while traditional US Highway Gothic font is reserved for listing districts and/or cities, which helps to differentiate between street vs. city names for exit signs.
Yes, I've seen that vid... I'll take a look at it again.
And I know what you're saying about the boxed-in exit #'s and street names. Here in the US you get for example "123" in its route marker box then "Webster Street/Hanover/Scituate" all in the same bloody Highway Gothic typeface, and the same font size to boot! Worst outside of New England where they just list the street names on the signs and not the towns or neighborhoods.
Australian freeway signage is green (originally we used the same green as the US before adopting the different shade we used now). The Citylink tollway in Melbourne adopted the blue signage you see here which is now the standard toll road signage in Melbourne
First time i ever saw skyscrapers as a kid was this exact drive from Ballarat to Melbourne. West Gate bridge must be one of the best city entrances I've ever seen, and i've been around a lot. Any drives in america you'd recommend that are on that scale of skyscraper freeway epicness?
Hey there. Thanks for dropping by and commenting! Yes, the West Gate Freeway approach to the Melbourne CBD is pretty epic, especially after the bridge and freeway widening projects. As for America, some of the ones off the top of my head are I-5 into Seattle (northbound or southbound), northbound US 101 approaching San Francisco, primarily because you can't see the skyline until you make the last curve into the downtown area and then BAM, the skyline presents itself in a very dramatic way...I-376 into Pittsburgh is another great drive; nothing approaching the city would indicate you are in one of the top 20 most populated metropolitan areas, and then you drive into a tunnel and are presented at the very end of one of America's great skylines, a mere half kilometre in front.
FreewayBrent Watched your vid of your drive into San Francisco, and it was epic coming around that curve. Also, the drier landscape and the amount of eucalyptus trees planted around there, would feel quite at home, Love your work!
Thanks! yeah, there's *a lot* of eucalyptus trees planted all over Northern California. There's a 2 mile stretch of California State Route 84 (about 40 kilometres south of San Francisco) that take you through a eucalyptus forest.
By the way, I just released my first video from Brisbane last week, showcasing the Pacific Motorway into Brisbane's CBD. Come check it out if you have some free time! th-cam.com/video/9rhnH2Dtkj4/w-d-xo.html
The Brisbane drive is amazing. Linked it to my very best friend of who lives in Brisbane, I go there about once a year, 2nd fave Aussie city after Melbourne. Love it The skyline and freeway system in Brisbane has grown massively in the last ten years, especially the 12 lane Gateway bridge which I think has to be one of the widest sections of Freeway in Australia, bypassing Brisbane and crossing over the Brisbane River downstream from the CBD near the port.
AND OMG I love gum trees, or Eucalyptus trees, nothing like them, nothing smells like Eucalyptus forest. But because of Eucalyptus Oil in the leaves our Wildfires and Bushfires are explosive and devastating, we Australians always feel for the Americans during their wildfire season, and our Bushfire season is coming up soon in a couple months. Freeways, Gum Trees, Bushfires and Skyscrapers, something California and Australia definitely have in common.
thanks so much for costing me a good $5 - 7500 on a trip to Melbourne. I've always wanted to go to this place above Sydney first and this video has truly wetted my appetite. Fantastic video mate, truly appreciate your efforts.
whoa ,Melbourne looks cool , have you been to Sydney
+Jose Garcia : Yup! In fact, I just released the first of what promises to be several videos from Sydney. Feel free to watch at your own leisurely time. Here's the video link. th-cam.com/video/3uShcm7xjq8/w-d-xo.html
A section of the bridge you drove over collapsed during construction with loss of many lives.
You should visit Dubai. They got nice highways and skyscrapers there.
It's only a matter of time before the West Gate bridge collapses due to the huge unplanned weight of the steel suicide fencing along the whole length.
Lol here I am looking on the left side for the traffic
Melbourne got world's most liveable city again! 6th time. Dunno how, like Melbourne is awesome. but that good? Should have seen the city in the 80's, industrial pollution, citywide decay like America's rust belt. See the movie Romper Stomper, that sums up 80's melbourne. The city's success is trickling down to Victoria's regional cities, Geelong, Bendigo and my home Ballarat. I don't know where our state gets it's excellent economy from though. Hope it's not a real estate bubble. (It's a bubble) BRB gonna pay off more od my home loan. ^^
FreewayBrent always remember far left lane is slowest lane :)
+Taha Korkmaz : Didn't have any issues with that at all. :-)
+FreewayBrent I enjoyed the Aussie tour. Thank you.
Melbourne has good roads, Sydney is a nightmare by comparison. Also think Melbourne looks like Chicago
this video introduced me to Chvrches almost 5 years ago 😂
Thanks for following me over the years! Yeah, Chvrches is awesome. Sorry I haven't been able to work on any uploads for over 1 1/2 years; I've just been busy. I have tons of footage in stock though; enough for over 300 videos. Just a matter of finding time.
Australia's Chicago 🤣
Em song idhi
I DO NOT LIKE THAT BRIDGE it freaks me out whenever I look at it and I will never go on it”
Such a beautiful-looking city with what looks like a built to perfection freeway system! Nice one as always, Brent!
+Schwenda Productions : It's a pretty awesome network, indeed. And, they're going to be expanding it, little by little, to fill in the missing connections and turn Melbourne into a top 10 global freeway system. I believe there's a fairly lengthy section of existing Melbourne freeway that will be widened to a 4 sectional/16-18 lane freeway in the next several years. Very nice stuff, indeed!
+FreewayBrent How's a city with an almost perfectly built freeway network among the most livable in the world??? I'm presuming there's even more cool tunnels there, too!
Wait... How the hell did my weeks old comment duplicate itself like that???
