    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 agree with Con #2: Roads. Having been living in Perth for the better part of the last decade, getting stuck in traffic for TWO-AND-A-HALF HOURS in Melbourne was shocking! Everything else has a lovely vibe... the energy, the fashion, culture (I wish I had more time to spend at the art gallery), the food is great.

    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.

Is the place I would really love to stay and not get bored with the mountain Ranges, nature, snow mountains just 1 or 2 hours drive to reach. And the crisp cold weather in the city is a Plus for me.

    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 ปีที่แล้ว +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 ☺️

    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.

      NYC is far superior. All the good points that are raised in the video are done better in NYC. I.e. the culture, food, bars, night-life etc. You may be disappointed when you come. Although do come for the Australian Open. That's a blast!

      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.

In Perth you just have to find the gems.. I don't know if this helps

      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 ☺️
