For anyone looking to go to Lune for a croissant, I would 100% suggest jumping on the tram only 10 minutes trip to their Fitzroy store as there is never a que, it has more space and more options as they are less likely to run out given it is their main unit of production, the store also has a glass prep section so you can see how they work if that interests you which was mentioned in this video.
Did you guys rock up to Melbourne in the middle of winter on a random weekday like a Tuesday or something? As a native Melburnian I can tell you that heaps of places, like St Kilda, are pretty dead on a weekday during the day. St Kilda especially was hit hard during COVID so lots of places have closed. But, regardless of that, it’s great to see you guys experiencing my hometown and showing all the great aspects. The inner north, like Fitzroy, Collingwood, Northcote, and Brunswick have a really hipster vibe, more than St Kilda.
Coillingwood was awesome! We just uploaded the 2nd Melbourne video and ended up there - super cool spot. And yeah, this was just a random weekday adventure, some times thats a pro because of less people, other times a con because not much going on
What I loved in Melbourne was just wandering around, seeing and hearing people talking LOL. There are many places and things to see, for free. Can't wait to get back there.
Lovely video! Melbourne is my favourite city I’ve visited in Australia! Been several times and each time, it’s just a joy to be there! Probably because as a Londoner, it feels so familiar to home. There is so much to see and do. The food and coffee culture is impressive! Rococo on Acland Street, St Kilda is where I’ve had fantastic meals, topped off with seeing the penguins on the beach afterwards 🤗 Can’t wait to get back to Australia and New Zealand again one day. Miss both countries so much. Happy travels guys!
Hey Guys Thank you for your amazing videos on Australia! I recently made a vacation trip to Australia with my family and we followed many of your recommendations. LUNE was out of the world! We also thoroughly enjoyed unique places like Hopetown falls, River cruising in Cairns, harbor bridge climbing, Luna Park etc. My 9yrs old daughter also follows your travel vlogs and she was more than excited to remember your videos when we visited these places. Thanks once again. We had a great trip to Australia. And may you make many such interesting videos!
Melbourne is definitely on my bucket list. I mean all Australia and New Zealand is, but Melbourne looked so cozy on this video. Hopefully I can go there some day. Great vid, guys.
Hi Dane and Stacey. Just wanted to say a big thank you for your blog on Cruise Croatia. We have just pulled into our swim stop at Milet. Would never known about this awesome trip without you both.
Love your Vlogs which I discovered while researching my NZ trip planned for March with my best mate - big thanks for those as really helped us with deciding where to go, what to see, where to eat and stay. Just can't wait to visit NZ! I was very excited to see you visiting Melbourne. Being Victorian (and having previously lived many years in Melbourne) I was disappointed you didn't show the cake shops of Acland St. There's some amazing ones with a lot of history too... I saw that you walked right past one. That pita looked amazing though. Next time I am in Melbourne I am going to have to go to Lune, I think I've walked past it but never been in. And seems you have an upcoming Vlog on GOR (local acronym for the Great Ocean Road) which is pretty local to me so I am looking forward to that (hope the weather got better!)
So many amazing recommendations coming in for Melbourne, it's unbelievable how many great places to eat there is! Yup, have some GOR videos coming soon - what an amazing roadie that was!
Oh I love this vid!! I spent a lot of time pre-pandemic in Melbourne, and it's just amazing! There are so many neighbourhoods to discover! It feels so nostalgic watching this, we also drove along the GOR and the conditions were perfect. Some of my best memories
Hey Dane and Stacey. Hope your short time in Melbourne was memorable. Harriet and I visited Melbourne just before the Pandemic. All the places you went to we have been. Did you go to Queen Victoria Market ? We took a free Tour with a guide from the Public Library of Back Alley Streets. Our Tour Guide explained some of the famous street art created by some well-known street artists. We have a cousin who married an Aussie from Melbourne. We met them at the Lune Croissanterie Fitzroy. The Lobster Tails Croissants were delicious. Great Memories of Melbourne. We plan to return again. By the way, how is Nalu doing? What a sweetheart. Love you guys' 😍😍😍 Jim, Harriet and Yuki. Richmond, Va.
We did go to the markets! It's in the latest vid (just went live) and liked walking around there - did you try the doughnuts??? Nalu is doing great, this past few weeks it's almost like he's just getting it if that makes sense? No biting, better behaved and just more in tune with us and it's SO amazing! Hope Yuki is doing great ❤
This seems to be a very nice place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
The best way to see Fed square is up in a high building. You can see how the buildings look like the rocks and ouback of Australia it’s really spectacular.
Great video - is helping me to plan our upcoming daily trip to Australia! One question: what property is your accommodation in this video? Many thanks!
We caught the baking bug during lockdown. Our croissants take three days, but they don't look like THAT! Yum! Adding this to our list when we get over that way!
Wow, Melbourne looks just as epic as the tales I've heard, have made it out to be. I met a girl travelling in Morocco who a few years later stayed with me for a couple of months whilst she got a job and flat in London doing the whole working holiday visa thing. She'd lived in Melbourne for a while after Uni and absolutely raves about the city, but I've only been making up pictures in my head - you guys have given me the proper images and even more context. The croissants looked epic, and yes, whilst not cheap, any big city like this will have places that charge similar prices and you know you're getting quality for it! St. Kilda looked so beautiful. I get you were there in the off season for a beach day, but I can imagine it bustling with hot weather - very much up my street! ❤ This place was already on my bucket list, but you guys have pushed it higher!
Exactly, any big city comes with a big price tag... at least comparatively to the rest of the country. We tend to think you get what you pay for though! Definitely keep/put Melbourne on your list, it is such a cool place!
Wauw looks Amazing Melbourne those croissants 😋😋😋😋 I agree bit pricey but for such a size worth it Love your apartment the view omg thats just stunning , i be watching out all day. 😜 The End view at night. Beautiful. Looking forward to your next video. Have a Great week 🥰
Glad you enjoyed your stay here in Melbourne. It's a pretty cool place, despite the changeable weather 😅 Lots of nooks and crannies to explore. St Kilda looked pretty quiet that day, but it's usually packed on the weekends with everyone hanging out in bars and eating their way through the cake shops that have been there since Jewish ppl fled here during WWII. You should have caught the tram there - takes a while but it's much cheaper and you get to see more of Melbourne 😊
"Lots of nooks and crannies to explore" feels like an understatement! It feels like the kind of place we could spend a few months and still miss lots of great things!
What a lovely vlog! I had a chance to visit Melbourne twice and indeed it's a great place. I found Australia being a very laid-back place, people are super nice, great sense of humour. The only thing which shocked me is how expensive it is!
for those who dont know, 30 degrees is normal summer climate... during summer, 30 is room temp... during winter 10 is room temp. i have been in -2 degree temperatures and could barely tell the difference between 6C and -2C
The reason St Kilda was dead was because it was a weekday, it's lively on the weekends. I definitely wouldn't describe St Kilda as hipster haha. If you want to see hipsters, go to Brunswick St or Collingwood. We call the Esplanade the 'Espy', it's such a cool place
So exciting seeing you guys in Melbourne! Doing a great job showing us around the city. So much culture! The only bad thing was the weather, but that did not dampen your spirits. Those croissants..OMG. You guys keep killing me with the food. Can't wait for part 2! 😎
I really enjoyed this video - I subscribed to keep up-to-date with new stuff but I'm looking forward to going through your back catalogue as well. To be honest, I found it cool for Melbourne to be the subject of a travel vlog from New Zealanders. We're so close, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more - I'm used to seeing people from the other side of the world talking about Australia and getting excited by it all, and for antipodeans like us to similarly head out to the other side of the world... I'm off to the US in a few weeks - it may be the two of you who have inspired me to vlog it!
Thanks, Adam - we appreciate you following along! A few of the Great Ocean Road videos are up now and like you said, we've got a big ol catalogue of content for you to look into when ya want :)
hi guy, looks like you liked Melb town. only hope you met some nice people, you should have checked out the Dandenong Ranges.,, next time,. you have fun and love from Melb
Great thumbnail, the video has a fresh vibe too. I'm thinking the relative lack of drone shots makes it feel more personal and vloggy. Y'all seem happy to be out of NZ exploring again :P
You're the only person that's commented about the feel of the video - you win! We've done a bit of reflecting and trying to take a new (which is actually more of an old) approach to things. Hope you like it!
I’ve been dying to go back since 2016, we didn’t travel far from the Royal Children’s Hospital and Ronald McDonald house - actually had really great dumplings and Ramen, which we lived off. But looking forward to where all the good food recommendations, and where to stay and explore - yaaassss!
Congratulations to the both of you, lovely couple and sweet wedding. Can you share the name of the airbnb you stayed in? the link you provided is no longer valid, we cant find the page anymore. Would you mind sharing the name the apartment used on aidbnb so that we can search for it? Thanks.
It does seem like it's gone and it was a random building sorry, no way to find it! Stay tuned, we've just been to Melbourne again and have a few more vids to come out over the next month or so
Haha our croissants are good but I don't know about them being the best in the world 😉 Always cool to see my city from a tourists perspective, it is pretty cool. Also I didn't realise our hotels were so expensive!
I've lived in Melbourne my whole life and juz discovering it thanx to ur vlog Haha obviously not a city person but great job 👌 need to explore my own backyard b4 travelling international Haha keep it up 👌
Hi! Super helpful video - thank you for sharing :) can you describe the phone plan costs/experience a bit more? Is it easier to buy a SIM card and cancel your phone plan back home and still have a reliable connection? Or is it more trouble to go through an international plan your your provider? I’m heading there for 6 months and struggling to find info on it. Thank y’all for sharing your experience!
Hey Megan - just pick up a tourist sim card and its very straight forward. Probs best to just keep your home sim active even if its not in your phone. Best thing you can do is keep Whatsapp with your original number (eg it will ask do you want to update to the new +61 phone number, which you say no)
I had no idea you guys were in Melbourne. I drive past Luna Park every Saturday. The gas plumes at the Casino have been cancelled due to gas shortage/climate concerns. They also roasted some pigeons that roosted there. Yes its either too cold or too hot. Cheers guys.
If you're back at Fed Square again, Chocolate Budha has the best Japanese food. Also, at one point they played all of the Harry Potter movies on the big screen :) (Local here 😀)
@@Jutta_KG Funnily enough one of their desserts are chocolate springs rolls! You get 3 Dark/milk chocolate and 3 white chocolate and two sauces to dip!!
@@The.EditedRose wow, I definitely need to go then. Putting on my list. I'm down in the Geelong region so next time I am in Melbourne going to go to Chocolate Buddha. Thanks for the tip!
Theres loads of Airbnb options in the CBDish, we initially found a cheaper and better one, but it quickly sold before we booked. Turns out there is quite a lot of options anyway so you won't struggle.
St kilda is a sad sorry version of what it once was. The Espy is pretty much the only decent place down there. Better off heading to near by Balaclava .
I am from near Melbourne and used to live there. We call it the upside-down river as it looks brown even more so on overcast days or after rains due to the clay soil.
Eucalyptus tannins colour the water like tea. The water from rain and melted snow flows down the river from the forested mountains and bushland with falling leaves, bark, branches and trees soaking in the water turning it brown before it reaches the city. It is not city pollution.
St Kilda died off many years ago. Lots of homeless now, boarding houses for low income/homeless, street walkers etc its a bit of a sad shadow of itself now. Melbourne in Winter isn't very exciting, things are just starting to come back to life now! Grand Final, Melbourne Royal Show, Tulip Festival, Picasso exhibition. And when Summer gets here every beach is busy and the food comes to you.
Melbourne is very expensive, I've been to NZ and I think NZ is cheaper. Also hard to find a meal for $20 now, plus the exchange rate means you pay more
Ahem....yes you can.....that’s the beauty of the New World...you can experiment without the constraints of tradition....there’s room for both versions..
You should try a ham and cheese croissant, I'm surprised French don't already do it with the amazing hams and cheeses you have. Good way to use yesterdays pastries without making them sweet almond. My ex was French and after a year in Melb he had welcomed the idea.
Thanks!
You guys are too kind!! Thank you ❤
For anyone looking to go to Lune for a croissant, I would 100% suggest jumping on the tram only 10 minutes trip to their Fitzroy store as there is never a que, it has more space and more options as they are less likely to run out given it is their main unit of production, the store also has a glass prep section so you can see how they work if that interests you which was mentioned in this video.
It's often easy for me to take my city for granted. This video reminded me of the many reasons I love Melbourne ❤️Thanks guys ✌️
Yup, that happens!

Yum I love Rococco!
What? You got to see penguins on the beach in St Kilda??? HUH now we feel totally ripped off haha
As a Londoner, I suggest you 'check' High Tea at the Windsor Hotel. Top end of Collins on Spring Street Corner. Usually a Quartet is playing as well.

It's a lot nicer than it looks in this dreary winter's day, I can assure you
Hi Dane and Stacey. Just wanted to say a big thank you for your blog on Cruise Croatia. We have just pulled into our swim stop at Milet. Would never known about this awesome trip without you both.
Hope you had the most amazing trip!
So happy to be this early and watch your new video,guys! So much positive vibe here ✨ 😌 💛 ☺ Hugs from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 🤗 ❤ 💙

We hear ya!
Good to see the old town doing ok. Spent about 20 years there before returning to NZ post Covid. Nicely captured.
Same here
It's all F'ed up now.... its going to take years to become how it used to be...
City is empty compared to how it was pre plandemic
Sadly the joint is a shit hole now ruined by socialist and woke arsehole politicians.
Hopefully an amazing 20 years? We totally get that it's different to live somewhere vs explore for a few days. Either way, thanks!
Those French fries looked goldenly delicious and the hummus even better.
I’m already for the next episode 🙌🏾
except they weren't fries, they're chips!
Beautiful vlog guys, and Lune croissants are amazing!
They are! Thanks for watching
The best way to see Fed square is up in a high building. You can see how the buildings look like the rocks and ouback of Australia it’s really spectacular.
We need to make some friends in high places then haha
love your videos - so excited to visit all those places next month! 😍
You might have gone already, hope you had an amazing time!
I would definitely stand in line for pastries...but not a croissant. Love when you do food feature vlogs!
If u have time have afternoon tea at the waiting room at crown. I went on Sunday 79pp the food and experience is amazing
Great video - is helping me to plan our upcoming daily trip to Australia! One question: what property is your accommodation in this video? Many thanks!

Hi great video, could you tell me the name of the apartment you stayed in. Thank you
Welcome to my city! Enjoy
Congratulations to the both of you, lovely couple and sweet wedding.
Can you share the name of the airbnb you stayed in? the link you provided is no longer valid, we cant find the page anymore. Would you mind sharing the name the apartment used on aidbnb so that we can search for it? Thanks.

It's in the description ❤
hello dan and stacy. would you mind if you provide the name/link of the bnb you stayed in here? thankyou vm!!
Haha our croissants are good but I don't know about them being the best in the world 😉 Always cool to see my city from a tourists perspective, it is pretty cool. Also I didn't realise our hotels were so expensive!
i went to St Kilda the other week during a weekday and it was bustling so i think you might have just caught it on a quiet day 🤣
I've lived in Melbourne my whole life and juz discovering it thanx to ur vlog Haha obviously not a city person but great job 👌 need to explore my own backyard b4 travelling international Haha keep it up 👌
We totally hear you tho! Pre covid we'd barely explored New Zealand
Well done for a great town - I love where i live
Melbourne has to be the best, but one of the most expensive cities in Australia
hi, can i know whats the name of the apartment you guys stayed at? planning to go to melbourne for the next trip thank you😊
It was on Airbnb, we linked it in the video ❤
This city so cool
I lived in Melbourne would be glad if you visited Footscray so many Asian food to try out
Loved the Vlog
Awesome guys
Thanks Mark!
Hi! Super helpful video - thank you for sharing :) can you describe the phone plan costs/experience a bit more?

I’m heading there for 6 months and struggling to find info on it. Thank y’all for sharing your experience!
Hey Megan - just pick up a tourist sim card and its very straight forward. Probs best to just keep your home sim active even if its not in your phone. Best thing you can do is keep Whatsapp with your original number (eg it will ask do you want to update to the new +61 phone number, which you say no)
You guys cane at a wrong time to go St Kilda I think 🤭🤭 usually hotel esplanade is poppin 🤭
I had no idea you guys were in Melbourne. I drive past Luna Park every Saturday. The gas plumes at the Casino have been cancelled due to gas shortage/climate concerns. They also roasted some pigeons that roosted there. Yes its either too cold or too hot. Cheers guys.
The fire is back, I saw it recently
If you're back at Fed Square again, Chocolate Budha has the best Japanese food. Also, at one point they played all of the Harry Potter movies on the big screen :) (Local here 😀)
Even though I know this place is Japanese food, the idea of chocolate always pops into my head whenever I see the name of this place.

Hello, do you mind to share the link for your accommodation? Thank you 😊
I'll be staying in St Kilda Sunday, guess I will head else where when I land hahaha
Hope you had a good time haha
Where did you find your accommodation in melbourne? That apartment was looking nice. Was hoping to visit soon too! You just got a new subscriber.
Theres loads of Airbnb options in the CBDish, we initially found a cheaper and better one, but it quickly sold before we booked. Turns out there is quite a lot of options anyway so you won't struggle.
Could you share the Airbnb you stayed in? Heading to melb and planning the trip now!
Here it is: www.airbnb.co.nz/rooms/604605956870491809
In Perth,we have Cronuts,with Custard in them,super tasty,was looking for some while back in Auckland in 2020,no such thing.
Wow, really? I’ve had them here in Christchurch before. Maybe the fad has died off lol
@@chriskeentechnician Yeah mate,I reckon there must be some places back home around the country that still make them.
Guys, my face twiched at your weather
The Blue Mountains are near Sydney not Melbourne. We had cold weather in Melbourne but no snow
it snowed in the Dandenongs
Yup, we know (stay tuned, we might be there soon 😉 but it was on the news just before we left the apartment and seemed odd at this time of year
Ex-pat kiwi living in Melbourne and I can confirm it is the ish, should check out North Richmond.
Will do next time, thanks!
Hey mate...what drone were you using?.....oops, just read it properly. Stock footage.
Yeah we have to use a lot more stock these days with all the bloody restrictions 🥲
I prefer Quarry bakery's Almond Croissant in Ferntree Gully - big, really packed, sweet and $7.50ea (half Lune's price).
What’s the name of the apartment you stay ? Thx
seen some big Hip Hop concerts at The Espy including Mobb Deep #RIP Prodigy, among others...
Quite a venue
Dayum, now thats some good talent you've seen there!
St kilda is a sad sorry version of what it once was. The Espy is pretty much the only decent place down there. Better off heading to near by Balaclava .
Agreed. Easily a good 15 years since St Kilda was firing. It's just not the same anymore.
If you come back to Melbourne you should go to South Melb market. It's a bit nicer than Queen Vic
Nice one, thanks for the heads up!
what's the apartment name where yguys staying at?
We linked it in another comment, it was just an Airbnb, theres loads of good options
Hi Guys , May i know where is the apartment you live in Melbourne. Thanks
Thats was really nice to get to see some of Melbourne. Is the river so brown because of the weather or is it always like that?
I am from near Melbourne and used to live there. We call it the upside-down river as it looks brown even more so on overcast days or after rains due to the clay soil.
Eucalyptus tannins colour the water like tea. The water from rain and melted snow flows down the river from the forested mountains and bushland with falling leaves, bark, branches and trees soaking in the water turning it brown before it reaches the city. It is not city pollution.
@@Lavendare1023 what’s weird about the Yarra river is if you drive 20 mins east out of the city the river is crystal clear
@@ashdog236 I don't know about the eucalyptus thing as it can't reach the city. I always though it was muddy
@@jj-if6it no, drive just out of the city and follow the Yarra into country Victoria, it’s beautiful and so clear!
Love Melbourne ❤ miss it
So do we!
Got really confused about the Les Miserables advertising at 7:38.... is that old footage??
St Kilda died off many years ago. Lots of homeless now, boarding houses for low income/homeless, street walkers etc its a bit of a sad shadow of itself now. Melbourne in Winter isn't very exciting, things are just starting to come back to life now! Grand Final, Melbourne Royal Show, Tulip Festival, Picasso exhibition. And when Summer gets here every beach is busy and the food comes to you.
Suppose thats kind of a good thing that seasonal locations change, I loved St Kilda when I was there solo years ago but that was possibly summer
Can anyone give me a link to the apartment they stayed in?
Would you say it's slightly more affordable than Auckland. Like a $22 dollar meal in Auckland would be $20 in Melbourne?
Melbourne is very expensive, I've been to NZ and I think NZ is cheaper. Also hard to find a meal for $20 now, plus the exchange rate means you pay more
Probably more expensive to be honest - check out our latest food vid (just went live now) and you'll see some pricing

Yeah $27 for two fancy croissants and two coffees. Unfortunately it's very expensive here
Lovely Dears...
Thank you! Cheers!
Love the life size graffiti portrait of SHAQ
So cool huh!
melbourne is crowded house's song 4 seasons in one day or take the weather with you
Ahem half French person here. You can’t put a filling a croissant. Sacrilege! ( Also where exactly is that bakery) 😉
Ahem....yes you can.....that’s the beauty of the New World...you can experiment without the constraints of tradition....there’s room for both versions..
There’s one at 161 Collins St
A new lune just opened on High street Armadale
You should try a ham and cheese croissant, I'm surprised French don't already do it with the amazing hams and cheeses you have. Good way to use yesterdays pastries without making them sweet almond.
My ex was French and after a year in Melb he had welcomed the idea.
Ha, ha , ha 😂😂😂😂
My friend lives near you apartment
They have actually stopped the fires at crown to save money
Miss Cbd 😻
don't like the weather in Melbourne? just wait a minute
HAHA so true
St Kilda area becomes alive at night time
Any suggestions on which platforms or sites you used for looking for apartment accommodations? 😄
Airbnb!
I like your style. Your editing is great. I hope my channel can be as informative and eye catching as yours.
Status bro
Danger and Tracey.
27 dollars for two croissants and a coffee is out of chart guys... come to Italy or go to France you will find good ones for way way less money ...
Been to both, tasted in both - travel is just expensive these days!
