Have had several visits to Melbourne as my daughter Lucy moved there in 1989. To her credit, she has not affected an Oz accent, although my two Oz grandchildren, Jemima and Max are not strongly, accented , but definitely Australian.Sadly, as I am now 88, no further visits will be possible, but my wonderful memories will remain with me for as long as I survive. Delighted that Lucy is coming to England, May 29th, her mother;s birthday, so I can indulge her the way and loving and generous father should. March, 2024, England.
Hey Ronald, that's really sweet. I hope you and your daughter Lucy can share many great stories together when she comes to visit. Thank you for watching my video on Melbourne and I hope you have a great weekend!
I spent a week in Melbourne during a longer trip to Australia and NZ and despite not liking big cities that much I completely fell in love with the place. Easy to navigate, everything is within walking distance (I don't think I used the inner city free tram once or public transport at all for that matter) clean, modern and great balance of cultural diversity. One of my favourite memories was visiting the botanical gardens and looking back at the skyline. Also st kilda beach is really cozy and clean. Will definitely visit again despite the 24 hour journey.
Definitely - I wasn't a big fan of cities either, but really loved to explore and find places from where to take photos in Melbourne. Glad you had a great time!
I moved from Melbourne to Dallas, USA and there’s not a day where I miss Melbourne. It’s a beautiful city, there’s nowhere else in the world like it and I’m so excited to come back in 2025❤️🩹
Nothing against Dallas, but yeah I'd take Melbourne over a vast majority of cities in TX. Hope its the same as you remember on your return trip to MEL!
I lucky to have friends there which are more family to me than my own here in the UK. One day I'm going there ,seen Melbourne through them showing me on their phones and pics .certainly a place I would live if I could .
Thank you for your kind words! Melbourne truly is a vibrant and invigorating city with so much to offer. It's a place where creativity thrives, and there's always something exciting happening. 🌆 And yes, the situation with the koalas is indeed concerning. It's important that we do our part to protect and preserve their natural habitat. 🐨🌿
i spent a few weeks in Melbourne when i got attacked by a Bunch of High- school teens(aussie) in their 18s , i reported to the police &the police mailed back with a "Can't HeLp you"!! @bt when that bunch of Aussies in their 18s me for Walking_on the street as- IF i'm Ready to hurt somebody &Rob stuff, they immediately came- in& take actions!! 😅🤣😂 (that's the Melbourne i know)
Nice vlog! Great presentation. It was a useful vlog for a prospective traveler like me to Australia. I am a new subscriber to your channel. Greetings from Plano, Texas, United States.
Hello Planooo! Thank you so much, I wish I wouldve made it a longer video with more emphasis on the city but hopefully get another chance to come back and explore in warmer weather. You will absolutely fall in love with Australia when you go! Well worth the flight time
@@leodoeslife_ You did cover it very well. A vlog should not be longer than 10 minutes if you are describing a city otherwise people don’t have patience to watch. I clicked on your vlog since it was short.😊
I did my undergraduate studies there. The climate, flora, fauna is one thing, but it is the people that makes up a country. They proved to me why their ancestors were outcast from Britain. The British in those days were justified.
一人做事一人当 In legal systems, you cannot lie about your crime (perjury), you cannot habour a criminal (habouring), you cannot help a criminal to commit a crime (accomplice), you cannot help to hide information-assistance before-after a crime (accessory), ... you cannot stand-in for the offence or crime. You cannot give the excuse that you own a child (slavery, seperate business entity, ignorance of the law is inadmissible as a defence) and therefore have a right (no such right) to murder him-her (still considered similar to other murders). Those who find excuses along these lines which are internationally accepted are to be classified as stupids-idiots-morons.
When the politicians are illegal, you can report to the police. When the police are illegal, you kill the police. You don't be an idiot and make reports to the illegal-police (contradiction, law spawns police and empowers the police via the people). Don't be a moron and call yourselves police when you are performing criminal-deeds. Example, america had not been voted by every person in the world to be the police of the world (not empowered) but consider themselves to be the police of the world (idiots) and use this as an excuse to commit crimes against humanity (illegal-police is contradiction, retards)
You screw around with people = kamma = people screw with you = you suffer The more you screw with people = ... = the more you suffer (1:1 direct correlation) If you cannot see that, you might as well be dead. Darwinian theory of stupidity-kills (fittest survive). If you had been reasonable to yourself, you would had asked yourself about your own suffering of, the harder you try (mental-locked dementedness), the harder you fall. Hypocrisy makes people blind. The more you attack others = the higher your attrition rates The heavier the heft-of the attacks (example minimum jail sentence for each type of crime) = the more you suffer and the higher your attrition-rates Too stupid(conceitedness) to be reasonable.? Works for me. Works against you. Might as well let you learn, the hard way.
As a chinese, i verified your ancestors had the world-map of not-flat-earth. As a human, i verified you are recalcitrants and pathological-liars (characteristics of the spiritually-destroyed) As a Buddhist, i know Kamma and how, what, where, when, ... I verified the information and qualify my statements and justify my insults. You had been judged and ignored until, conditions for Kamma to ripen, ... factors are right for multiplier-effects of speaking at the right time and the right place for maximum blow and results. I mean it.
If there is a another military exercise = exercise == kangaroo, wallaby, roos, wallaroo, wala-wala eh-eh Same as your legal-system and judiciary, spawning international terminology - kangeroo-courts
Well done! Thanks for the video! I was looking for a video giving insight about the city in a first-person view that's not a promotional video or a plain walk/drive tour and came across your content which is just that.
@Gary Bea i jus went to Flinders/ Elizabeth St. Train station, i don't know Y but it reminded me of - New York's Brooklyn's subway Stations, Full of F!thy Rats...and Drugg!es!!!

The reason why the Yarra River is that colour is because of its got a clay base.. and if you want to see lots of art around the city then you should go to the city of churches, Adelaide, South Australia. I hope you got to see the MCG Museum in Melbourne.
you people need to get off the crack, our economy is rock solid and always has been, the country is as big as the US with like a 10th of the population, do the math
Melbourne looks amazing and good for living. I got a question though to the people living there; have you guys ever encountered a dangerous spider or a snake?. Not to be rude but that's what I have heard....just trying to know.😅
The Yarra River is like that for good reason. The whole south side of the river used to be alluvial swamp and the plant are no longer there to filter out the silt and nutrients. So the places you like there have emerged from draining all those marshes and billabongs. I think I'd prefer things as they were...
The soil in the Yarra River was contaminated many years ago. Upstream from the City is an area that was the "Rag Trade". Cotton dying in particular where dyes and industrial waste was discharged into the river. So to fx it now requires dredging the bottom. Governments have avoided that. Further up the Yarra River is pure clear water. We have a joke that says : The Yarra runs upside down, the bottom is on the top. 🇦🇺
I deliver the stock and replenish the shelves at that gnarly duty free store every day 😂 I haven't travelled a lot so didn't know it was that different from others.
Melbourne looks beautiful.What is the weather like year round?Is living in Melbourne expensive?Can you buy reasonable priced homes there? Thanking You Brian in the UK
As a Muslim- immigrant myself, i faced AMPLE abused &harrassament from the Local- Aussie in Australia compared to years in CAN &NZ(combined) in my 1- year in Melbourne , i already got eggs thrown at while stayin- in the suburbs& "calling names" in CBD Melbourne compared to my 5years time in NZ & CAN(2 years NZ 3 years CAN) !!
Oh wow; I’m so sorry. I’m originally from Melbourne but I now live in Toronto and was surprised at just how discriminatory it is here. I never experienced that in Melbourne but it just goes to show that there are terrible people everywhere. Really hope your experience is better if you ever return
@@RoamingHeathen R u local- aussies(white- caucasian) cos Aussies tend to be "more polite" to Europeans(or white caucasian) compared to the Others............esp. Asians!!
that's Normal! Aussie tend to be White- supremacist! NO matter how much they had changed! @nd , by saying "Melbourn. is the Best city , is EXACTLY 100% saying NY is the Safest city in the Universe"!! 😅🤣😂😂
Well, there is visiting Smelbourne and living here. You'd quickly realise how expensive real estate is as well shopping for food and clothing. Most liveable city in the world my ASS! Would rather live up north. Shopping is still expensive but you save everywhere else.
Melbourne was once very diverse, now it's China. I miss the old Melbourne from back in the days. Early 2000 till 2017 it was great. Now, all you see is the Chinese. Even shops like Myer are being taken over by the Chinese. Banks and shops are only hiring Chinese salespeople who can barely speak English. It's painful to deal with them when you walk into high-end shops like Myer. I don't understand why Chinese people being from a highly developed country like China is flooding this country. I understand why people from poor, underdeveloped countries move here, but not sure why people from developed nations move here. China is a well-developed, rich nation. Even the Indians left during the pandemic. Now it's mostly just the Chinese.
As a China born Melbournian, the reason I live here is because of China's ridiculous education system and political stuff. Melbourne isn't much compared to most chinese cities I've been to but it's homely.
Yeah even my Taiwanese friend said there are so many or too many Chinese here. Remember lots are students though. There are actually less Chinese tourist here now than pre pandemic 2020.
Not really! Recently i went on a Flight✈ from Singapore to Perth, Australia✈, i SAW ALL are Indians & middle- easterns people ONLY, NOT much Asians(chinese, malaysians, singaporeans). ALL are jus Indians & middle- easterners till my Mom even asked R we in the correct Flight!?? Is this Flight to Dubai O Mumbai instead!??
I have a complete opposite view for Melbourne. Systems are messy, kids committing crimes and people doing the most stupid things. I had a terrible family growing up and I hated the city as I consider to be toxic. Planning to leave to Japan in the future.
But a few things u see are wrong kids here are much more sensible, at least more then Americans. Kids cant commit crimes its illegal systems are great so idk what i mean...😅😅😅
@@emmmy6007 i live in Melbourne so i know experience and no kids do have manners. Have u even seen kids that "committed crimes" and how do u know the systems are messy? U would only know if u lived in Melbourne which i live so i know and no none of these are true
What’s the situation like with the bushfires? Me and my partner are thinking of moving there, and seeing the bushfire related videos got me really scared
@@justshowupshow We haven't had any significant bushfires since the last big one in 2019-2020. However, an accident happened up in the northern country region about 90 km from Melbourne, and it's now burning for a couple of days now. We usually get them when we have prolonged dry and windy days, but usually the temp drops down for 10C-20C in minutes when we reach our hottest peaks. You should be fine if you move within the inner suburbs of Melbourne.
AFTER bein in melbourne for 2 years and perth 5 years, i've concluded AUSSIES are just Racist (FuLL STOP)🛑 No matter, how hard you "try" to impress themm, they're jus Found any FAULT & Dislike on you uuu :( 🖕🖕🖕
Melbourne used to be so beautiful. People were super friendly and kind. It has lost a lot of its charm over the last five years, due to rising crimes, uncontrolled immigration intakes and the corrupt state government. Leo you missed its glory. If you think it is nice now, It WAS truly the place to be.
Very interesting point. That's tough to hear Judy but I understand - very similar to my own hometown of Denver, Colorado. What was once a great city has been slowly degrading with crime and rampant homelessness :(
I went last summer and I still thought it was one of the best cities , if not the best city I have been to, I constantly reminisce over that trip, nothing can replace it , absolutely an unforgettable vacation !
Our bushfires have nothing to do with climate change. The bushfires you refer to, were started by a combination of lightning strikes, camper's carelessness, and fire bugs. Even Captain Cook reported bushfires up and down the East Coast as he navigated Australia's East Coast the first time. It is cyclic.

As a muslim, immigrant i would say Aussie- australians are one of the but Not the most Racist nation. Just Bhind america but FAR way ahead of CAN +plus NZ :)
that's Norm.! i, myself as an asian (chinese_ also encountered multiple racism abused and harrassment issues during my studies time in Melbourne throughout the 4 years!
Great vid , query would be you completely missed the horseracing scene in Australia and Melbourne it's massive there and part of their culture one assumes, 🎉The Melbourne Cup is like a 3 day festival ???
Thanks, maybe next time! I saw some of the racing on TV while in Vic and my home state also has a big racing culture so I wasn't too into it. Thank you for the insight tho!
Please make video like this but with Sydney, I’m curious about its art scene like you put in Melbourne videos but I also curious about its beaches, thanks!
I think Australia 🇦🇺 is the most welcoming country ever. It is a beautiful country and the English accent from Australia 🇦🇺 is similar to the English accent from the UK 🇬🇧.
@@DrDoctorDr No, actually the Australian English accent sounds like both American English accent (or Canadian English accent) and the British English accent. The Australian English accent is somewhere in the middle.
@@michaelsunguro6530 Firstly, you're trying to explain to an Australian (I am from Melbourne and live in Melbourne) what our accents sound like. A very odd position to take. Secondly, there isn't just one Australian accent and not one of them sounds like a British accent. Thirdly, Britain is not just one country (it is 4) and there are vastly different accents both within each country and certainly between the 4. Not sure why you're taking and sticking with such an ignorant point.
I shall be returning to Melbourne in late August. I would appreciate progress on the completion on the Metro Link between North Melbourne and South Yarra. Also, progress on the underground line between Cheltenham and Box Hill. Now remember, the more you Americans prepare, the more likely you are to secure the Earth's greatest victory. Or do you all want to be destroyed? From me, it's no surrender...
Hi, thank you 🙂 I haven't been to much of Australia yet, just Melbourne and Brisbane at the moment, but I'll make a future video that shows each city in detail and if it's a worthy place to live 👍
I live on the mornington peninsula and it is not a safe area. I have had pool pumps stolen, vandalised fences, vandalised garden and mail theft. It is not a nice place, there are a lot of criminals.
I don't really have a total favorite but I like the beat and rhythm of Melbourne (along with the art and live music scene) but also enjoy the flexibility Brisbane provides to travel to more coastal cities and towns :D
Drug problem yes. High crime rate no. You see junkies all the time but there's such little violent crime compared to other cities of similar size. We often forget how safe Australian cities are compared to other parts of the world. No pick pockets, very little gun and knife violence, we just have a fairly substantial drug problem in Melbourne.

I understand why people from poor, underdeveloped countries move here, but not sure why people from developed nations move here. China is a well-developed, rich nation. Even the Indians left during the pandemic. Now it's mostly just the Chinese.
As a China born Melbournian, the reason I live here is because of China's ridiculous education system and political stuff. Melbourne isn't much compared to most chinese cities I've been to but it's homely.
Yeah even my Taiwanese friend said there are so many or too many Chinese here. Remember lots are students though. There are actually less Chinese tourist here now than pre pandemic 2020.
They also like the architecture of the Melbourne skyline
whats wrong with chinese 😂if they contribute to the economy and pay their taxes
Not really!
Recently i went on a Flight✈ from Singapore to Perth, Australia✈, i SAW ALL are Indians & middle- easterns people ONLY, NOT much Asians(chinese, malaysians, singaporeans). ALL are jus Indians & middle- easterners till my Mom even asked R we in the correct Flight!?? Is this Flight to Dubai O Mumbai instead!??
Nice video and beautyfull city !
I have a complete opposite view for Melbourne. Systems are messy, kids committing crimes and people doing the most stupid things. I had a terrible family growing up and I hated the city as I consider to be toxic. Planning to leave to Japan in the future.
Good move I hate it too, so many lowlife idiots
Japan *Osaka* , the BEST👍
IKR JAPAN IS THE BESTTTTT
But a few things u see are wrong kids here are much more sensible, at least more then Americans. Kids cant commit crimes its illegal systems are great so idk what i mean...😅😅😅
@@emmmy6007 i live in Melbourne so i know experience and no kids do have manners. Have u even seen kids that "committed crimes" and how do u know the systems are messy? U would only know if u lived in Melbourne which i live so i know and no none of these are true
Very interesting, and great video! What a life in Australia! Very creative people, great life style!
Thanks so much!
Ill be there in June wait for me please
Wow that burning Koala 🐨 was quite the sight 😳
For real!
As an aussie who has explored the same places as you did... fantastic job... you seemed to learn alot. Will be watching nz next and then may subscribe
Thank you so much, Viv!
I need to stop being mad, Australian isn’t not to chabby. For Alysse in Los Angeles. Did it matter ?
I'm so happy to call this vibrant city, my home. This is a well-curated video.
That's great! Happy to hear, and thank you :)
What’s the situation like with the bushfires? Me and my partner are thinking of moving there, and seeing the bushfire related videos got me really scared
@@justshowupshow We haven't had any significant bushfires since the last big one in 2019-2020. However, an accident happened up in the northern country region about 90 km from Melbourne, and it's now burning for a couple of days now. We usually get them when we have prolonged dry and windy days, but usually the temp drops down for 10C-20C in minutes when we reach our hottest peaks. You should be fine if you move within the inner suburbs of Melbourne.
Mustn't travel much huh
@@nickolas6060 56 countries/territories. I hope I can visit more before I turn 40 in 13 years. 😉
Reminds me a bit of Seattle :) w/ art work on the walls, and being by the waterfront, cafes, restaurants.. etc...
Yeah, you're absolutely right! I definitely see some parallels between Melbourne and the Emerald City 🙌
@@leodoeslife_ love your videos, 😃👍have u been to South America?
Aun no, but I'm planning to travel there very soon..✌️
Beautifull Melbourne City.
people being resourceful. treat immigrants seriously. choose right canadiates is the key to win in competitions.😮😊😂❤❤🎉.
~ don't Like. LEAVE! None needed you.........CN🥢😅🤣😂😷😷
AFTER bein in melbourne for 2 years and perth 5 years, i've concluded AUSSIES are just Racist (FuLL STOP)🛑
No matter, how hard you "try" to impress themm, they're jus Found any FAULT & Dislike on you uuu :( 🖕🖕🖕
@phillipbriggs895 😅🤣😂😂..........racial Slurs ALert!!!
Absolutely amazing city❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the video
Of course, you got it!
Melbourne used to be so beautiful. People were super friendly and kind. It has lost a lot of its charm over the last five years, due to rising crimes, uncontrolled immigration intakes and the corrupt state government. Leo you missed its glory. If you think it is nice now, It WAS truly the place to be.
Very interesting point. That's tough to hear Judy but I understand - very similar to my own hometown of Denver, Colorado. What was once a great city has been slowly degrading with crime and rampant homelessness :(
I went last summer and I still thought it was one of the best cities , if not the best city I have been to, I constantly reminisce over that trip, nothing can replace it , absolutely an unforgettable vacation !
I agree this corrupt government has ruined it
@@leodoeslife_do note that everything he listed are racist dog whistles, with all the points being the same thing; too many “foreigners”.
You’re lying your a Chinese bot. Your clearly working for CCP to push these false narratives about our greatest country
Our bushfires have nothing to do with climate change. The bushfires you refer to, were started by a combination of lightning strikes, camper's carelessness, and fire bugs. Even Captain Cook reported bushfires up and down the East Coast as he navigated Australia's East Coast the first time. It is cyclic.
Nice video bro❤
Thank you!
5:05 Those birds were terrifying
Tell me about it! Wouldn't want to be in a dark forest late at night hearing that..
Love Bendigo
Beautiful Melbourne ❤

Melbourne is not the same, if you want to see a sub state of China just visit Melbourne city
Omg😲
Dont believe its the most liveable city thats bs most expensive cities more like it
Better to be Chinese than Pakistani/buslim
Yikesss........NOBody wants Thattt...........😅🤣🤣😂😂
whats wrong with chinese ? they contribute to the economy and pay thier taxes, they didnt come illegally to melbourne 😂
As a muslim, immigrant i would say Aussie- australians are one of the but Not the most Racist nation. Just Bhind america but FAR way ahead of CAN +plus NZ :)
Don't worry. Muslims are even bigger racists.
that's Norm.! i, myself as an asian (chinese_ also encountered multiple racism abused and harrassment issues during my studies time in Melbourne throughout the 4 years!
@@leo1933 Don't simply make ..assumptions.........embarrassin........😅🤣😂😂😂
@@SkarabCZ .................says YOU!!!!
Stop repeating yourself
I love Melbourne
Great vid , query would be you completely missed the horseracing scene in Australia and Melbourne it's massive there and part of their culture one assumes, 🎉The Melbourne Cup is like a 3 day festival ???
Thanks, maybe next time! I saw some of the racing on TV while in Vic and my home state also has a big racing culture so I wasn't too into it. Thank you for the insight tho!
Clicks geniais!
yoo at the guy with the Ibanez Jem at 0.29
Please make video like this but with Sydney, I’m curious about its art scene like you put in Melbourne videos but I also curious about its beaches, thanks!
I will try!
I think Australia 🇦🇺 is the most welcoming country ever. It is a beautiful country and the English accent from Australia 🇦🇺 is similar to the English accent from the UK 🇬🇧.
There isn't just one Australian Accent, nor is there one UK accent. No Australian accent sounds like a UK accent though.
@@DrDoctorDr No, actually the Australian English accent sounds like both American English accent (or Canadian English accent) and the British English accent. The Australian English accent is somewhere in the middle.
@@michaelsunguro6530 huh? I’m Australian and no it doesn’t.
Also, British isn’t an accent. You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about
@@michaelsunguro6530 Firstly, you're trying to explain to an Australian (I am from Melbourne and live in Melbourne) what our accents sound like. A very odd position to take.
Secondly, there isn't just one Australian accent and not one of them sounds like a British accent.
Thirdly, Britain is not just one country (it is 4) and there are vastly different accents both within each country and certainly between the 4.
Not sure why you're taking and sticking with such an ignorant point.
@@DrDoctorDr wow come down big boy 😎. I am just saying it in my opinion. Geez 🙄.
Hi,
Victoria, Melbourne people.
Que massa essa cidade 🇧🇷
Love You BROTHER.....
I shall be returning to Melbourne in late August.
I would appreciate progress on the completion on the Metro Link between North Melbourne and South Yarra.
Also, progress on the underground line between Cheltenham and Box Hill.
Now remember, the more you Americans prepare, the more likely you are to secure the Earth's greatest victory. Or do you all want to be destroyed?
From me, it's no surrender...
IF melb. is the Best City in the world, then NY city will be the most Safest City in the Universe😅🤣😂
It was voted most liveable city 7 years in a row 2011-2017, and number 10 in the world and most liveable in Australia in 2022. Facts are facts Viv
@@bera0014 NOT❌ anymore......the city is Corrupt and getting worse by the years........its ONLY a Matter of time it will become NEW YORK !!!
@@bera0014 7 years ago.........NOW its 2023, **FYI** 😅🤣😂
@@bera0014yeah the last name tells us all we need to know about "viv"
@yortko1 WHAT does Her name have to- do with ANYthing....... cough *another Racist spotted* Cough!
Nice
I moved here from Brisbane. Save your money and time. Go to Brisbane rather.
I was just in Brisbane for 3 weeks back in December 2022 and loved it. Stoked to make a video on it soon as well!
no thanks, Brisbane is rain, humidity and bugs
Nice explained everything
Thank you kindly!
Great content, what city in Australia would you recommend someone who is willing to move in to australia
Hi, thank you 🙂 I haven't been to much of Australia yet, just Melbourne and Brisbane at the moment, but I'll make a future video that shows each city in detail and if it's a worthy place to live 👍
I would recommend Sydney is more Metropolitan and less racist🚞
@@massimodanzelmo4607 thanks
Melbourne has so much to offer, it’s a much slower pace than Sydney😊.
@@K-Meas82 Yes i know ,i lived in Melbourne for many years, Sydney is more Cosmopolitan 🌍
Exacto
I live on the mornington peninsula and it is not a safe area. I have had pool pumps stolen, vandalised fences, vandalised garden and mail theft. It is not a nice place, there are a lot of criminals.
On your vlog, which was better? melbourne or brisbane?
I don't really have a total favorite but I like the beat and rhythm of Melbourne (along with the art and live music scene) but also enjoy the flexibility Brisbane provides to travel to more coastal cities and towns :D
How is the Weather
I would and i wish To go there , i hope so
I’m from Melbourne and I can’t get out of this communist state fast enough!!! Victoria is NOT the state you want to visit
Amen🤝🙏 to THAT!
~ the No. of chineseCN immigrants here. Disgusting!!!
Lie
Agree
This guy change his mind we going in February Next year Will it be hot or cold and is Phillips lsland the same
the city is great these days 2024, keeps getting beter
Low crime rate? I have seen crackheads sleeping in KFCs in CBD and bar fights on the streets. After 7 pm I have never felt safe.
😅🤣😂😂....... 👍👍🤝🙏
Drug problem yes. High crime rate no. You see junkies all the time but there's such little violent crime compared to other cities of similar size. We often forget how safe Australian cities are compared to other parts of the world. No pick pockets, very little gun and knife violence, we just have a fairly substantial drug problem in Melbourne.
Coming from Cape Town…you guys barely have crime
Welcome to earth
That’s true
