@@Ishidanfarded2370 I moved here a while back ago, really enjoy the constant life Melbourne seems to offer, so many different and diverse cultures in most of the suburbs.
I lived in Melbourne for 6 years, born and raised in England, emigrated when I was 26, moved to Perth before covid and got stuck there. The weather is great here but I feel lost and alone a lot which I never felt in Melbourne which felt like home to me
@The Gorn "When you speak the truth, you've won": anyone with a fckn clue.... 🙄 When you're quoting Mike the ear biter Tyson, you're even dumber than previously thought.
I'd say Melbourne and Australia in general has some of the best Asian food outside of Asia especially if you go to some of the suburbs like Box Hill and Springvale
Sydney has better Asian food. If you loved Melbourne you will lose your mind over the Sydney CBD. Circular Quay, Opera House, Botanical Gardens, Rocks Area, Darling Harbour, Chinatown ECT.
How refreshing to see my home town through the eyes of a tourist walking around appreciating it's beauty. ❤ It's hard to see sometimes when you're stuck in work mode. But the vibe is usually always pretty chill as you noticed. Thanks for the video guys, great work!
My partner and I live in Toronto, but she's been away on work exchange in Melbourne since March and will be there for half a year. I was lucky enough to visit her for just over 3 weeks in April and I absolutely fell in love with the city. It's got most of what Toronto has and then some, and I couldn't agree more about how good the vibes are, especially in the CBD. It's crazy how recognizable everything is since I was able to tell exactly where you two were within the first couple seconds of each shot - I really miss being in Melb and I really miss my partner :') Thanks for the awesome vlog and giving me a chance to relive my last few weeks for 13 and a half minutes
My partner moved here (Melb) from Toronto. I have loved visiting Toronto and found it to be the closest city to Toronto feeling right at home when there.
So glad you caught the vibe in Melbourne. I moved to the Melbourne CBD to live about 3 months ago and still can't stop smiling. It's such an accessible city with the free trams, really loving it
Before retiring, I spent 5 days a week for 34 years working in the Melbourne CBD. Close to the end of my time there, my wife and I did a 'tourist' guided tour around the city and I was stunned at all I missed in those 34 years.
I think you nailed that, there have been some shockers recently, making the same stereotypical vids. These guys just let the world wash past them in a calm, gentle way. Cheers.
So happy you got the vibe of my home town. Also glad the old girl put on her best face and the sun was out for you. Melbourne and Sydney are both beautiful large cities of equal size yet they love playing the ‘who’s better’ game. Just enjoy them for what they are. Loving your Explorations!
@Mark Hopper I have spoken to five students ( today and yesterday) from our year at, High School with. Your name was mentioned, and they would be happy to see, again.
Knew you would love Melbourne. It is a very happening city. We love the vibe. Trams, cool neighbourhoods, high streets, theatre, exhibitions, food culture to die for and many people from all parts of the world. My husband and I are born and bred in Sydney but Melbourne is the best. Therefore we moved to Victoria about 13 years ago. Never a regret.
the first feature length film ever made was "the story of the kelly gang" it was filmed in melbourne and was 70-80 minutes long depending on the version. Ned kelly was a hero, regardless of if you see him as good, bad or both.
Great video. Glad you guys enjoyed Melbourne. Im from the US but have been living in Melbourne since 2011 and it's by far the best city I have ever lived in. Theres so much going on here but still not to chaotic like other big cities. When you guys come back you should check out some of the cool suburbs surrounding the city like Collingwood, Fitzroy, Carlton etc.
It’s always a boost of serotonin seeing a One Pack Wanderers video on my TH-cam feed, especially after a really hard week for me. Thank you for sharing the beauties of Melbourne with us!! It seems so cool! I hope I can visit one day.
Continue to love your videos. I am a massive Melbourne fan (although from Sydney). When you pick up Blueberry you really need to see more of Melbourne. Melbourne and Sydney are similar in that they're both cities of villages (the suburbs are cities and towns in their own rights). The CBD of both cities is only one aspect of the city. To make an analogy out of food it would be like getting a hotdog loaded with toppings, but only ripping out the sausage and taking a bite of it then dumping the rest. Melbourne has the worlds largest tram network (actually it's so large, if you combined all the light rail and tram networks in North America together, Melbourne's track length is still longer). So it's super easy (if a little slow), to get to all the villages you need to see from St Kilda, Chapel St through Windsor, Prahan, South Yarra through to Richmond, the MCG, Fitzroy, Brunswick, Collingwood, Willamstown, Brighton Beach....
Each Aussie capital city has its own vibe, it just depends upon what you like the most in life at the time. But all are fabulous, we are so lucky, and so many other wonders await you guys.
I love seeing people experience Melbourne for the first time! Makes me so happy to call it home! If you have more time in Melbourne, definitely head out to Fitzroy! Such a cool place with great food! There are some cool markets on the weekend too!
I think it’s great that you’re coming back to finish off the trip! A lot of people would be too intimidated by the price and just how long it takes to get back here to leave and come back a couple weeks later. You’ll love the east coast, so many different vibes depending on where you’re in Aus. The only unfortunate thing is you’ll be coming back to significantly colder weather
I am so happy that you could get to explore my stomping ground for a couple of days, I wish I could have shown you around. There is so much to see and experience in Melbourne 🙂. I love your videos, they always bring me up and put a smile on my face.😁😁 Your smiles must be infectious...never lose them. 🙂
You do great videos, good camera shots. You make places I've been, new again, that first time seeing/experiencing something new comes through. Thanks, Cheers.
I'm a Perth gal... but always love a visit to Melbourne. I love the 'old' feel of Melbourne. Sydney is similar but I think Melbourne has retained it's old buildings more in the CBD.
I remember when I visited Sydney, many of the 'old' buildings I saw had their facades go all the way up to twice the height of the building. Kinda made me question how much history I was actually seeing. I'm also from Perth. Freezing my arse off rn.
Thank you both for showcasing what we have in Australia, I’m an Adelaide boy “the city of churches” 68yo I’ve lived here all of my life, I’m so glad to see your adventures across Australia and to experience your video footage, thank you both for allowing me to be a part of your adventure
I was born in Crown St Sydney, lived here in Sydney almost all my life (50 years), with Sydney Harbour literally across the road for us, but I have to admit, Melbourne has the best vibe, food and coffee. In Sydney you need to seek out the good places for food and coffee, as the average is pretty average. Whereas in Melbourne pretty much any random restaurant or coffee shop will have great food and amazing coffee. Melbourne seems like a great model to demonstrate how beautifully a multicultural society can work.
I’m so happy to see visitors enjoying our beautiful city. Well, what used to be a beautiful city. Melbourne has become a very difficult place to live since one of the world’s longest lockdowns. On a beautiful sunny day, it can be easy to ignore the problems but our endless grey winters can be challenging for the most positive of us.
The State Library is a great place to study. As you saw, plug in your laptop, lay out you papers and go at it. It has that amazing amplifying echo to it that forces you to keep very quiet.
Public Transport Victoria (PTV) is A$9:20, ( train,tram, bus) maximum price for a day, anywhere in the State of Victoria. A$4:60 for a concentration fare.
Ned Kelly is so fascinating. His reputed last words were "Such is lfe" , which is so mundane, yet so profound. If you want to see his haunts you can check out Glenrowan in northern Victoria or Jerilderie in southern NSW.
Yay I’m glad you enjoyed it! Melbourne has a special place in my heart, even though I’m from Adelaide (and we’re meant to be rivals), the city vibe is unmatched. Come to SA for a great wine tour though!
Ahh this makes me miss Melbourne so much! Also, Tia great job working through the anxiety in the public space - it's never fun when it decides to present itself. You got this girl! :)
I am from Melbourne and have been watching your videos. What a great job you have done. You both have great personalities which brings such quality to your work.
Did you see the building with the face on it? It's amazing! The portrait is of William Barack, an Aboriginal artist who lived in the late 1800s/early 1900s. It takes up several floors of a high rise building at the western end of Swanston St. Its best seen from a distance or from some elevation, so Rialto skydeck or even the Shrine of Rememberance are good plaves to get the full effect.
Love Melbourne! Being the sporting city of Australia, it always great to go to the MCG or Marvel stadium to watch a footy game. The atmosphere can be quite electric at times. Also the Rugby, and tennis are all good events to see too. Love it!
I havent been to the State Library since it was the Museum. Yep! It used to be the Melbourne Museum, Planetarium included. But then it was moved to near the Fitzroy Gardens not far from there. Pelligrini's is famous as the first coffee house. The much loved owner was murdered in a rare tragic stabbing just over 2 years ago. Things like that just dont happen here. Really pleased to see you getting around and seeing as much as possible.
Captured. The essence of Melbourne. Knew you guys would get it, as well. Especially the vibe. Its a great mix. Onwards and upwards. Hope the wedding went well and hanging out with friends & fam. You have prob slipped back into OZ already. Cheers.🎉
Watching buskers in Bourke st Mall was one thing i loved to do when working in Melbourne, i had a pretty good skyline view working on a 42nd floor as well. Now i live in Ballarat.
Good video , in my younger years I lived a stone’s throw from the city and the MCG ( spent a lot of time at the footy in those days 😀), lived in the outer burbs for the past 40 ish years. It’s good to see the old city. A pity you didn’t have time to see more like some of the cool little suburbs adjacent to the city like Williamstown which has the water doing a big arc around it , and some good fish and chip places , which you can grab a feed and sit looking across the water at the city ( quite nice at night), or follow the water around and eat looking across port Philip bay , also quite good at the western end if there’s a good sunset. Happy trails 😉.
Glad you like our city… I was born and raised in Melbourne, live about 20km away in the suburbs. Have lived in Europe (Munich) and done lots of travel in Australia and overseas. For us Melbourne (in the suburbs) is the best place to live, we do visit the CBD few times per month.
I love visiting Melbourne and you captured it really well (thank you for not turning on the smellavision in the laneways...). Worth spending some more time there when you return (I really like the Fitzroy area, and Moonee Ponds - yes possums!).
WHAT !!??!?!?? No,.. "Tia for size" in this episode. I was so expecting that from the sixth floor in the library!! Now go back and do it again! I hope you guys are travelling safe at present. Don't forget to drop me a line here or on other posts when you get back and get to Sydney. My offer to show you around still stands if I'm not in court! God bless!
I'm enjoying watching you two enjoying my enjoyable city of Melbourne - Marvellous Melbourne! It's known as the Arts, Cultural, Academic and Sports capital of Australia. There's lots to see and do. It was the richest city in the world in the 1850s due to Victoria's gold resources. Our China Town dates back to that. It is known as the most livable city in the world.
Yes, we got the most livable city in the world award for 3 or more consecutive years. Surprised you have seen soy sauce in the fish containers first time - thought they were the same elsewhere.
Ive lived in Melbourne for many years and ive enjoyed rediscovering Melbourne all over again watching your video, well done and thank you for this vlog.
As an ex-Adelaidean who's also lived in Brisbane and Perth I have always considered that Sydney and Melbourne are full of braggarts. Now watching your independent reaction to Melbourne I can see that just maybe it has got a lot going for it. (except the climate). Thanks for the most enjoyable Vlog I have ever watched. Good photographic and editing skills also.
Love seeing Melbourne through fresh eyes. Some of those shots have really reminded me how beautiful the city is. Also, side note: doesn’t all sushi soy sauce come in the little fishies?!
What most visitors to Melbourne dont realize is that a couple of hours away to the north east is one of the largest temperate forests on earth. Hundreds of square kms of largely unspoiled wilderness that has to be seen to be believed.
Really enjoyed that.....I live in Victoria but in the country now, I used to live in outer Melbourne and went into the city a lot. Nice to catch up with it....great city.
Great to see my city through your eyes! Although not rare, it's good to see Melbourne with the sun out ^-^ It's definitely a vibe and great for people-watchers
Ned Kelly's father came from Ireland. His family lived on the neighbouring farm to my father's family in Ireland (my family is at least 10 generations in that area). The local village near their farms where my grandparents are buried has a Ned Kelly pub and Ned Kelly festival. His fame spreads.
Folks ... Not sure if you went to Little Italy (Lygon Street), Little Greece (Lonsdale St), There are so many food areas. Also next time see if you can make it to SkyHigh in the Dandenond Ranges for a sunset view of the City. There are sooooooooooooo many areas.
Melbourne looks absolutely amazing - totally our kind of city! We were cracking up about the free lawn chairs. It looked like there was a Weekend at Bernie's situation going on in the background. 😂😂
The sky deck at the top of eureka tower is having a sale that ends tomorrow for its 16th birthday for cheaper tickets $16 each. Can be used within the next 3 months anytime, something for you guys to consider.
Glad you enjoyed our fabulous city 😊 I'm from Qld originally, but I've been in Melb more than 25 years & love it. Hope you got to hang out in the Botanic Gardens or Fitzroy Gardens. Really close to the CBD & not too many ppl around so good places to retreat if Tia feels anxious.
Melbourne has about 10,000 resturants and 10,000 pubs/bars. If you went to one new resturant and one new pub each day it would take you thirty years to experience them all.
Now you've got to Melbourne, the biggest city in Australia. It's not a visit to Melbourne if it doesn't include an AFL game. It's not optional. It's Essential!
Melbourne's Chinatown is the oldest in the Southern Hemisphere and the longest continuous ethnic Chinese settlement in the Western World, having been started in the 1850's during the gold rush.
As a lifelong Melbournian this felt like a love letter to the place I call home. Thank you for spending the time to explore the beauty of our city.
You obviously haven't been there lately
@@Ishidanfarded2370 clearly you haven't!

I'd say Melbourne and Australia in general has some of the best Asian food outside of Asia especially if you go to some of the suburbs like Box Hill and Springvale
Cabramatta, Hurstville, Burwood, Chastwood, Eastwood hold my beer!
Sydney has better Asian food. If you loved Melbourne you will lose your mind over the Sydney CBD. Circular Quay, Opera House, Botanical Gardens, Rocks Area, Darling Harbour, Chinatown ECT.
Sydney doesn't even compare to Melb in terms of food
Springvale is better relative to Box Hill. Also try Glen Waverly.
@@MrHaydenhoang if you have food recommendations for burwood please tell me tho everything I've tried has be mid so far

That Reading Room at the library is certainly a wonder. The first time I saw it, my jaw dropped. Agree that it's fabulous that it's a used space.
i've studied for my exams so many times there lol

Na Melbournians play that game, all on their own. The inferior complex is deafening sometimes.😂
You can keep Sydney and Melbourne. I'll stick to Perth 🤣
Are you the same Mark Hopper I went to High School, with, and you have a twin brother?
Could very well be👍

Continue to love your videos. I am a massive Melbourne fan (although from Sydney).

Melbourne and Sydney are similar in that they're both cities of villages (the suburbs are cities and towns in their own rights). The CBD of both cities is only one aspect of the city.

Melbourne has the worlds largest tram network (actually it's so large, if you combined all the light rail and tram networks in North America together, Melbourne's track length is still longer).
So it's super easy (if a little slow), to get to all the villages you need to see from St Kilda, Chapel St through Windsor, Prahan, South Yarra through to Richmond, the MCG, Fitzroy, Brunswick, Collingwood, Willamstown, Brighton Beach....
Sydney sucks as well

I grew up in Melbourne. Spent most of my life there. I live on the Gold Coast now, but Melbourne is my hometown, and it's No.1 for me.

I'm enjoying watching you two enjoying my enjoyable city of Melbourne - Marvellous Melbourne! It's known as the Arts, Cultural, Academic and Sports capital of Australia. There's lots to see and do. It was the richest city in the world in the 1850s due to Victoria's gold resources. Our China Town dates back to that. It is known as the most livable city in the world.
Yes, we got the most livable city in the world award for 3 or more consecutive years. Surprised you have seen soy sauce in the fish containers first time - thought they were the same elsewhere.
Ive lived in Melbourne for many years and ive enjoyed rediscovering Melbourne all over again watching your video, well done and thank you for this vlog.
Thanks again for a very informative video. Can’t wait to head there next January 😊
As a Melbournian, I welcome you to Victoria!
Thank you! 😊
Not much to say except...I love your vlogs, always so entertaining. Thank you for your hard work getting them to TH-cam for us all to enjoy. Cheers.
Your pronunciation grammar humour is sooo refreshing to watch
As an ex-Adelaidean who's also lived in Brisbane and Perth I have always considered that Sydney and Melbourne are full of braggarts. Now watching your independent reaction to Melbourne I can see that just maybe it has got a lot going for it. (except the climate). Thanks for the most enjoyable Vlog I have ever watched. Good photographic and editing skills also.
As a Melburnian I love my home, but our weather is s**t!
As someone who has lived in five out of six Australian capitals, I can confirm that they're all full of braggarts, haha.
Only in Melbourne you get people complaining about the weather and will still go out in shorts and a T-shirt on a winter day.
I love Melbourne weather ha! I’m a weird one, but I love my winter coats!
Love seeing Melbourne through fresh eyes. Some of those shots have really reminded me how beautiful the city is. Also, side note: doesn’t all sushi soy sauce come in the little fishies?!
In the US and most of Asia, the soy sauce comes in little plastic packets 😅
As someone from Melbourne this video made me happy.
Thank You for showing my home town in all its glory. I loved your video. You two, just got yourself a Subscriber !
Thank you Matt, glad you enjoyed the video 😊
You showed my home town in a great light and your editing is top notch🙌
What most visitors to Melbourne dont realize is that a couple of hours away to the north east is one of the largest temperate forests on earth. Hundreds of square kms of largely unspoiled wilderness that has to be seen to be believed.
Really enjoyed that.....I live in Victoria but in the country now, I used to live in outer Melbourne and went into the city a lot. Nice to catch up with it....great city.
You pronounce Melbourne spot on!!
Welcome to Melbourne, so glad you love it here. we love it as well! A hot pot of the world's cuisines are all here!
As a Melbournian myself , I’m So pleased you ranked Melbourne so highly, I love my city ☺️❤️
Great to see my city through your eyes! Although not rare, it's good to see Melbourne with the sun out ^-^
It's definitely a vibe and great for people-watchers
Ned Kelly's father came from Ireland. His family lived on the neighbouring farm to my father's family in Ireland (my family is at least 10 generations in that area). The local village near their farms where my grandparents are buried has a Ned Kelly pub and Ned Kelly festival. His fame spreads.
Folks ... Not sure if you went to Little Italy (Lygon Street), Little Greece (Lonsdale St), There are so many food areas. Also next time see if you can make it to SkyHigh in the Dandenond Ranges for a sunset view of the City. There are sooooooooooooo many areas.
Melbourne looks absolutely amazing - totally our kind of city! We were cracking up about the free lawn chairs. It looked like there was a Weekend at Bernie's situation going on in the background. 😂😂
The sky deck at the top of eureka tower is having a sale that ends tomorrow for its 16th birthday for cheaper tickets $16 each. Can be used within the next 3 months anytime, something for you guys to consider.
Glad you enjoyed our fabulous city 😊 I'm from Qld originally, but I've been in Melb more than 25 years & love it. Hope you got to hang out in the Botanic Gardens or Fitzroy Gardens. Really close to the CBD & not too many ppl around so good places to retreat if Tia feels anxious.
I continue to enjoy seeing Australia through your eyes
As an Aussie who has always called Melbourne home, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your time here.
I lived there for 6 years but moved home to NZ during Covid.. This made me miss it so much.
Melbourne has about 10,000 resturants and 10,000 pubs/bars. If you went to one new resturant and one new pub each day it would take you thirty years to experience them all.
Actually relatively cheap to get a drink at Arbory on the river :)
Glad you enjoyed the city,
You guys make me so proud to be a Melbournian. Thankyou for loving my city. ❤
You mean Melburnian...
@@megsybond yes of course. Autocorrect
It's so refreshing to see the city you've lived your whole life from a tourists point of view, it always encourages me to go out and explore more :)
Now you've got to Melbourne, the biggest city in Australia. It's not a visit to Melbourne if it doesn't include an AFL game. It's not optional. It's Essential!
Melbourne's Chinatown is the oldest in the Southern Hemisphere and the longest continuous ethnic Chinese settlement in the Western World, having been started in the 1850's during the gold rush.
Welcome to Melbourne. There is a lot more Ned Kelly stuff if you end up driving to Sydney. Glenrowan in particular.
Been watching you guys since the trip you did through Asia especially VIetnam. Thanks for doing my second hometown Melbourne
