I live in Adelaide in South Australia. My brother lives in Melbourne, and whenever I go to visit him we get around by inter suburban trains and trams. The Melbourne CBD is crisscrossed by tram lines, and all tram travel in the CBD is FREE.
Don’t mention Adelaide lol. My son has just moved to Adelaide and he loves it, but I miss him terribly. My daughter went there years ago re work and loved Adelaide. She said I’d love it, it reminded here of a lovely country town. All my family here in Melbourne so I can’t leave, but - I just might visit my son 😊
I love Adelaide too. Melbourne is my second favourite city after Melbourne, and Perth my third. And Sydney? Yeah, nah.

Perth is the equivalent of travelling to another country in Europe lol. Ah yes, my sister went to Perth for a holiday 30 years ago. Met a wonderful man, married him and they are still there. They used to come to Melbourne every 2 years or so, but Covid stopped that and haven’t seen them since - ah, but the phone gets a lot of use lol
The population of Melbourne (5 million) is bigger than any US City (except NYC)
Holy cow that’s huge!
Melbournian here. The sandwich thing is not a trend. Melbourne is the foodies capital and that stuff is just common, not a "trend". Temperature is C so 25 degrees Celsius is a magic day. 4 seasons in a day? Rarely, other cities state Melbourne is always raining but we get less than Sydney and much of Queensland. Public transport for inner city is good, outer suburbs not so much. Sydney's inner city transport is better. The actual city is easy to traverse, it is basically a square divided into blocks. Restaurants/theatre are about the only reasons I go into Melbourne, a suburban shopping mall is warmer/cooler and more convenient. We have huge road and public transport works going right now so when finished I hope it reduces travel time. You'll get a like for this one, Tonia.
Well thanks for your input 🥰 That’s the beauty of life, we all live it and experience it differently.
Agree, just a mouthy American
Hi, just a tip with Ashleighs reverse culture shocks video, only the first half is about that. The last part is a vlog from her travels to Vermont. So you can skip the second part of her video which will make it shorter for you 🙂
I'm new here -this video came up reccomended, I guess because I follow Ashleigh!
Thanks for the tip! 🥰
I lived in Melbourne for ten years and loved the seasons as you wrap up for it if it's cold and the Summer is beautiful as it's not too hot. I now live in Perth Western Australia and the heat is absolutely terrible with not a lot to do....can't wait to go back to Victoria where there are mountains and beautiful scenery not just Sand and endless heat !!!!!
Ooh yes I have discord members from various places in Victoria. Gorgeous!
Mate get yourself a spoon full of cement and harden up, west is best.
I was shocked the first time I went down to Melbourne about 700 miles south of me it was bloody cold
Each to their own but I have a number of people move out of the North, most to escape the humidity and sun. They have had skin cancer and were sick of everyday having to put on sun tan lotion and spend most of the time indoors to escape the heat. Great to go out without having to wring out the tea shirt with sweat.
25 C is 77f that is just nice to sleep but a bit cool winter temp Sydney is about 72 f Brisbane about 80 f We have a 24 hr KMart Most supermarkets for Groceries are open between 8 and 10 PM I bigger suburbs out in the sticks it's about 5PM years ago it was law to cease trading at midday Saturday so everyone could go home to their family small family business could remain open as well as service Gas station Far West of Sydney near the mountains has a country look and feel like wild Roos and Koalas Wombat etc open space cattle and sheep
We don’t have Kmart anymore. I miss it lol
The quick method for F to C. Double the number and add 30. eg, 25C x 2 = 50 + 30 = 80F. Hope that was a help. We all struggled when we changed to the metric system. This simple equation is what we all used. Regards from Melbourne. p.s We spoke yesterday about Puckapunyal. My dad came out with Tanks that Oz bought from England. He was a tank commander and was stationed here in Victoria at Puckapunyal.
Melbourne & Sydney are great places to visit, but I could never live there. I live in Adelaide which is a lot smaller & is just the right size for me. Although we have just over 1.4 million people it feels more like a big country town. I`ve been here for 25 years & I love the climate & lifestyle. Tonia your cat is such a cool dude. 👍😊😺
Wow even Adelaide has over a million people? Man I can not imagine living in a city that busy lol.
@@ToniaElkins Actually you`d be surprised how laid back Adelaide is.
@@michaeljk555 It’s a beach city right? If I remember right.
@@ToniaElkins Yes that`s correct Tonia. We have nice beaches along our coastline, but most major cities are on the coast. 👍
@@ToniaElkins Yeah but 'Adelaide's population' is spread over a large area so it's really not that crowded.
The reputation for the changeable weather is usually from people visiting in spring. In spring the weather is changeable as the weather warms up and you get competing lows and highs. They seem to forgive other cities and come back with "that is unusual for us" comment. They do know that Brisbane has been washed out for a lot of years and Sydney has homes with mould growing due to the amount of rain they have had? Melbourne has one of the biggest Tram systems in the world. While other cities ripped out their trams , melbourne kept its.
Yes everyone says Tassie. Aussies love to shorten words.for instance city of Wollongong everyone who live there calls it the Gong, etc,etc 🤣
Thank you so much! You guys do love your nicknames for things. I think it’s so cute lol.
Adelaide had 4 seasons today, I left for work at 6:15am wearing a T-shirt it was really balmy and nice this morning, but by the time I was coming home at 5pm it was blowing a gale and I froze waiting for a bus. Was supposed to be 25C and it probably was but it couldn't have been more than 12C when I left work.
Think she means 25C Melbourne never gets down to 25F , it can be bloody cold there at night but to get the really cold temps you need to go into the Victorian High Country. I wouldn't want to live in Melbourne or Sydney, way too busy for me and Sydney is getting too close to the Tropic of Capricorn so gets a lot of humidity and rain. Melbourne is nice if you like the nightlife.
Hardworking? LMAO Half the country is on the dole or a pension lol
Tuesday was crazy with the wind and then got so cold
@@mummabear3769 I think it blew winter in, cause hey it's sure been bloody cold since.
I love my Melbourne brolly (umbrella) it lives in my handbag, it’s a fold up one.
Born & bred Melbourne, used to it and love it here. Been interstate here, QLD far too hot & humid for me lol. Tassie stunning but too cold for me. Other states all have different feels and temperatures but I’m just used to where I was born, Mel-Born lol
Rude people plus wonderful people in every state here in every part of Aus, just like any other country.
I agree, you’ll find all types of people everywhere you go.
Moving FROM Melbourne is better than moving TO Melbourne as it was killing me. (I'm a country person .) Then again, I was born in Melbourne. I am a biased Victorian and Melbourne IS better than Sydney! :P
Lol I’m with you, I prefer a quieter more slow pace life.
I've always wanted to go to Australia. It's such a long plane ride. Melbourne..which i say wrong.. I thought it was pronounced mel born..lol..
I live in a town of 50,000 people.. so i don't like cities. My town is really big to me. I'm from a smaller town, with lots of agriculture and almost everything closed at 10 pm. Here more things are open until 3am and few things 24 hours. But covid did stop a lot of 24 hrs places.
I hate when I have to go to the major city that's 1 hour and 30 mins away for my sons eye appointment.
Yeah having to drive a long ways for Dr appts sucks.
just go the first half of reverse culture.
Tell she is American ttalks alot and says nothing repeats herself
