Great video. I had lived in both Perth and Melbourne as well and love both cities. 😂 Could you do a video on Perth or compare Melbourne to Perth? Thank you very much!😄👍
I'm born and lived all my life in Sydney and am moving to Europe soon but if I ever came back to Australia Melbourne is where I would go. Amazing city.
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....
Thank you for the info! I’m thinking about moving to Melbourne to study, so I would love to see the financial side of the story as well. Lovely video and straight to the point. P.S. the weather changes doesn’t bother me too much because I already live in a city where is so random, you have to dress in layers and always carry an umbrella 🌂
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.
Great vid! Considering moving to Melbourne next year to attend university, this video means everything to me! I’m looking forward to the cost-of-living vid.
The public transport is pretty good compared to other cities. Up until recently I’ve lived without a car. It is really good. Melbournians have just been climatized to quick transport so when it’s delayed it’s a bummer 😂
Totally agree that the traffic and roads are horrendous in Melbourne. Melbourne needs to discourage private motor vehicles from its CBD and pedestrianise the streets, prioritise pedestrians.
Although as a Melbournians who grew up most of his life in QLD I hate the hook turns and contending with trams on the road as well but you can’t complain about the roads here until you go to Sydney, what I call the pothole city and roads that make absolutely no sense
Great video! Very thoughtful perspectives. I moved to Melbourne from Maryland 3 years ago and I am still amazed by it every day. PTV is elite! Bus/trams/trains can get you pretty much anywhere. They are clean and pretty reliable. Only a hater would say otherwise!!
I would love to visit Melbourne one day, it looks so beautiful!!😍 I love how you edited this jamie, so well done! I’m not the best driver either, I can only imagine my struggle driving around there lol! That’s awesome there are so many shows in Melbourne and free ones too! Would def be interested in seeing how much it costs to live in Melbourne!
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.
Your vlogs are so awesome. Never regretted since I subscribed. I am currently in the process of applying PR from Malaysia and I totally agree with your pros and cons. Especially the pros. Your video today just reminded me of why I wanted to move 😍
Hi! My uncle lives in melbourne and i plan to move there either before uni or after uni and god i love it the atmosphere and everything. Yes the weather may be cold and rainy but eh cover up youll be right :) Also the regional trains are so good
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!
We all have trust issues with Melbourne weather 🙌 Lovely video! As someone who has lived in Melbourne her whole life, I am have acclimatised to the roads here. Driving in LA and Mostar which is in BiH was definitely an “experience” 😅 Glad you’re loving the city! A couple of other cons are there is so much to do … you often experience FOMO and because of all the brunch options… your bank account will suffer 😂🎉
Love your perspective on Melbs! As someone who has lived here my whole life, it all feels normal to me, I don’t notice the tricky bits! Also explains why when I travel I’m often disappointed in the food scene as I’ve been spoilt by the amazing options here!
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.
Love your view on the different cultures and diversities/profiles of the suburbs here. Having lived in Perth for most of my life,you don't really have that. So true about having to travel out to get to a beach, let alone a nice one. Cottesloe stands out so so much. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Jaaamie! 🙌🥰🥂 As an F1 fan, I really envy Melbourne's hosting of the Australian GP. 😭😂 Makes me think of moving to Melbourne - in addition to all the good things you've mentioned! 😄 Props again to the quality vlog! 👌💯🍻 Have a great week ahead!! 😄
you can say that again about melbournes weather, i spent 72 hours in melbourne in the last week of july and it was 9c and pissing down with rain at 2pm on a monday afternoon, it was apparently 6c warmer back home in wellington new zealand that day
As a Melbourne person, the public transport has improved a lot in the last 10 years. I can see you are not a sporty person, but that's OK. There are different things here for everyone.
It's probably best next time, if you add the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the Tennis Centre and Melbourne's mad passion for sport, even if it's not your thing. Anyway, happy Easter.
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!!
Nice video. Greetings from Sydney. Been to MEL around 5 times in total, but haven't been there since 2015. I reckon the Yarra River / Southbank area is so beautiful. Also like the Southern Cross Station area where we stayed at (Holiday Inn).
Thank you! Agree about the Yarra River area - so stunning! There's a few more waterfront restaurants that have opened up in the area which is lovely. Sounds like it's time for your next Melb trip :D
Hey! Jamie your vlogs are so so beautiful I can’t explain how happy I am and I really enjoyed watching your vlogs so so much you’re too cute and I wish you reach 4K Subscribers very very soon!😍✨🙈💫💖💓💕😘
Im 26 and lived in melbourne my whole life and what you said about the weather really made me laugh its so true. I want to move because I cant stand it hahaha!
The weather is changing. Melbourne's weather is now a lot steadier. This Summer was absolutely perfect. Beautiful Summary. You are a great representation of this City.
The food in Melbourne is even better than Singapore especially in the CBD where is cheap and good because of the competitive spirit. You are right. The culture is so alive. I love the erratic weather actually. Is exciting and when is cool, the air is so crisp. That is my memory of the MOST LIVEABLE city in the World and is still is. Yes I love 😍 love Melbourne Victoria city especially the CBD where the trams are 🆓. Miss the horses there. ❤️
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.
Tell us about your work permit. Are you a citizen, permanent resident? Subclass 190? I'm from Canada and looking to relocate with my wife in the next few months. You say you make videos about finance, are you investing in real estate? I would like to learn more about the market there. I also used to run a Chanel, but it was oilfield related...
Thank you for sharing this info. I’m from Durban South Africa. Our humidity is just as bad id assume. I’m hoping to move to Melbourne next year having been granted a skilled visa. Please can you share information on rental costs and how to get rentals. Or share a link if you’ve done something similar. I’m just anxious as I hear there’s a housing shortage in Australia. Thanks
Your beauty is like a Filipino/Filipina, and you're beautiful. If I have the chance of going abroad. I would totally go to Australia. And I'll also consider going to Melbourne😁
hello! some road trip ideas - mornington, daylesford, wilson's promotory, phillip island, great ocean road, grampians, yarra valley, dandenong ranges, organ pipes national park :)
I have lived in Melbourne for my whole life, and half of these things (like the frequent weather changes) I just thought that was normal. Also, fun fact I thought the food was normal. Only a few hours ago I was having Gyoza and the night before it was Australian food!
Coming from far north queensland that weather here is whacky. We'd get weeks, sometimes months of just pure sunshine without a cloud in the sky compared to living down here where it's sunny for 10 minutes then raining for 10 minutes.
ahh thank you for watching and commenting! i was born in Indonesia 😊 i made a video answering a lot of questions about melbourne here that might be helpful: ua-cam.com/video/s-TA-qjvtG4/v-deo.htmlsi=I_lLi011ZbwH4CmT i also made videos showing what i spent in a week living in melbourne - i hope this helps a little ua-cam.com/play/PLLVAe9z1PhPhkyb9BTUQN8XWCoME4CQpa.html&si=BrEC4eYXtBooNSWi
Hi Jamie, I would love to see a video with a direct comparison between Perth and Melbourne! I am stuck deciding which city to move to in the new year for school, they both seem to have their pros and cons but I would love to hear which you prefer!
I have lived in both states if you like seasons then Melbourne is for you but if you love the heat then Perth is the place I no which one I would go for
Hi Tessa,Lived in Perth for 20 years, 2 years and a bit in Melbourne, just really depends on what you want out of living in the city and how that might impact school...but my overall take, Melbourne has lots of more this and that and the shitty weather and beaches. 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 ☺️
thanks for this video, what is the weather like most of the time and how does it vary between the months? I’m looking to move and work here from Manchester, UK (where it’s constantly cold and rainy😂)
Come down to Chelsea.....we got beautiful beach but don't expect posh coffee or dining places! Melbourne is the city for me...I had visited most capital cities except Darwin, I still find Melbourne the best for me! I've been here since 1978.
these aren't really great "beaches" compared to other beaches that are less than 30-45 mins from the CBD of other capital cities. these "beaches" are part of Port Phillip Bay, so not really considered a beach by Australian standards
Planning to move to Melbourne this fall and this video was so helpful! Any recommendations for staying in the know with different festivals and events happening around the city?
i'm so happy to hear and all the best with the move! Here are a few websites that i found helpful: ✨ What's On Melbourne (whatson.melbourne.vic.gov.au/...) ✨ Urban List Melbourne (www.theurbanlist.com/melbourne) ✨ Broadsheet (www.broadsheet.com.au/melbourne) ✨ Time Out (www.timeout.com/melbourne)
spoiler alert: i love Melbourne (if it wasn’t already obvious from my vlogs!) :P
Great video. I had lived in both Perth and Melbourne as well and love both cities. 😂 Could you do a video on Perth or compare Melbourne to Perth? Thank you very much!😄👍
My first day in Melbourne was in January of 2010, it was 36 C at noon by 3pm it was 15c🤔 I was in total shock 😲
wild weather haha!
Sounds exciting. I am so bored of our weather here. Forever humid and hot. When overseas colleagues asked how is the weather, I said same. 🥱
Youd be surprised if you came to the north of Mexico, mornings are 10 C and noons can be up to 40 C
New Zealand Weather is also crazy
The weather is so naughty🤣
I'm born and lived all my life in Sydney and am moving to Europe soon but if I ever came back to Australia Melbourne is where I would go. Amazing city.
Wow all the best with the move to Europe! 🤩

Thank you for going straight to the point and keeping it concise! Your energy is calming and fun~

As someone seriously considering moving to Melbourne, I found this very helpful thank you!

How I can go to Melbourne for study
Will be hard getting affordable housing

Omg 2.5 hours 😣😣 so bad! So cool that you also lived in Perth!! And yess love the art here so much 😍
Melboring has a rather depressing vibe.
Great vid! Considering moving to Melbourne next year to attend university, this video means everything to me! I’m looking forward to the cost-of-living vid.
Thanks so much for watching!! And huge thanks for your DM - gave me the inspo to film this! 🥰

So happy to hear! Thanks so much for watching ☺️
I love cities that are diverse! I definitely love that its so rich in diversity and that there is such cool festivals! :)
Same here!! Thanks so much for watching Alex 🥰
I would love to see a video on how much it costs to live in Melbourne!
Thanks so much for letting me know, Justin!! Will put this on my list ☺️
Melbourne is a very expensive city (Australia is an expensive country) You need plenty of $$$$ to reside here
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.
Melbourne is a great city but the weather is unpredictable especially during the Rainy season out there since the 2010s.
Thats why they call it winter LOL
Your vlogs are so awesome. Never regretted since I subscribed.
I am currently in the process of applying PR from Malaysia and I totally agree with your pros and cons. Especially the pros. Your video today just reminded me of why I wanted to move 😍
This means so much to me! Thanks so much for watching 😊 good luck with your PR application!!
You can consider coming to Sydney too. =) But on the other hand, MEL property prices are much more reasonable compared to Sydney.
I'm moving there next week! I love it there !!!
So exciting! All the best with the move ☺️
Hi! My uncle lives in melbourne and i plan to move there either before uni or after uni and god i love it the atmosphere and everything. Yes the weather may be cold and rainy but eh cover up youll be right :) Also the regional trains are so good
Haha aw that’s so exciting!! Good luck with the move back to melbs :)
@@SundayswithJamie yeah cant wait to move there!!
I agree, they have too many roads! We need more people to take public transport.
PT here is so good!
Lovely video! It was very informative! I’m born and raised in NYC and although I’ve never been to Australia .. Melbourne is my dream city! 🌹❤️
Thank you so much, glad you found this informative! Hope you can visit some day soon 😍
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!
I live there so yes MOVE TO MELBOURNE

A couple of other cons are there is so much to do … you often experience FOMO and because of all the brunch options… your bank account will suffer 😂🎉

Love your perspective on Melbs! As someone who has lived here my whole life, it all feels normal to me, I don’t notice the tricky bits! Also explains why when I travel I’m often disappointed in the food scene as I’ve been spoilt by the amazing options here!
Aw I’m glad you enjoyed this!! Yesss melb food scene is amazing! 😍
Cool, when you travel where tho?
Very similar description to Barcelona, if you ever wanted to visit!
love the city except the annoying push on afl
Why do majority people instantly prefer Melbourne over Sydney?
Because it’s cheaper for one
Sydney is the most expensive state in Australia
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.
Spot on with driving in Melbourne, especially in the Cbd. Great video overall :))! Subbed
Thanks Hyu! Appreciate it ☺️

you can say that again about melbournes weather, i spent 72 hours in melbourne in the last week of july and it was 9c and pissing down with rain at 2pm on a monday afternoon, it was apparently 6c warmer back home in wellington new zealand that day

Melbourne weather sounds exactly like Auckland weather 🌧🌞
ooh interesting to know! have always wanted to visit NZ
Melbourne is ok for a weekend holiday and that’s it
The weather is changing. Melbourne's weather is now a lot steadier. This Summer was absolutely perfect. Beautiful Summary. You are a great representation of this City.
So true, we had such a long lovely summer 🤩 thank you for watching!
That's a good thing.
FUN FACT Sydney actually has DOUBLE the rain of Melbourne, one thing that needs to be mentioned a bit more often
Oooh great fun fact
@ion7 neither does Melbourne, no where has all 4 seasons in one day, what a ridiculous comment
When it rains, it rains in Sydney and more like the subtropical summer rain. It doesn't drizzle throughout the year with depressing grey skies.
I arrived here on 16 November 2022
And now it s been more than two months
It s a beautifull multi cultural city
I'm scared of Australian summers cuz I live in Canada where it is pretty cold most of the year!
I still struggle with the summer haha i definitely understand!
My mum always said Melbourne has four seasons in one day
so true haha!
Thanks for your video. Loved it.
So happy to hear! Thanks for watching grace 🥰

Thanks so much! I definitely will ☺️
Very insightful! Thanks a lot fot the video!

I just moved in, and tbh I love it..but its really stressful 🙃
so exciting you've moved in!
Really enjoyed listen to your opinion on Melbourne. Where do you live? Near de CBD? I would love to see more content like that, expanses included!
I live about 30 mins from the CBD via public transport 😊 thanks so much! Planning to do a video about living costs in melbourne!

Yes Melbourne's weather may be ordinary but you can always go to NSW or QLD and have a wet suit as your daily outfit. Those guys really need a break.
Good evaluation skills and efforts to deliver each vignette but it has not rained for a long time now. Have a very Happy Easter!

Hi Tessa,Lived in Perth for 20 years, 2 years and a bit in Melbourne, just really depends on what you want out of living in the city and how that might impact school...but my overall take, Melbourne has lots of more this and that and the shitty weather and beaches. In Perth you just have to find the gems.. I don't know if this helps

Heat?
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 ☺️
Living in Melbourne for 27 years, who actually loves the weather here? Haha everything else is GREAT about melb though!
Hahaha so true 😂
Why are the beaches near Melbourne average Jamie? Are they small and busy?
i would say it's more the sand and water quality - i found a couple of beaches quite dirty as well (lots of trash!)
The Beach thing is so true haha
🤣🤣
If you enjoy variety then Melbourne weather is great….😂
so true hahaha
Could you do a pro and cons of Perth if you’ve lived there before?
This is a great idea! Thanks Alicia! ☺️
thanks for this video, what is the weather like most of the time and how does it vary between the months? I’m looking to move and work here from Manchester, UK (where it’s constantly cold and rainy😂)
Come down to Chelsea.....we got beautiful beach but don't expect posh coffee or dining places! Melbourne is the city for me...I had visited most capital cities except Darwin, I still find Melbourne the best for me! I've been here since 1978.
I will!! ☺️thanks for watching Edita!
We plan to visit Mellbourne in several months
So exciting, I hope you have a great time here! ☺️
I prefer driving Melbourne over Sydney but can't disagree with you over the angry drivers
Yeah I’ve heard the same thing, apparently easier to drive in melbs!
Because you have not been here long enough to understand the weather of Melb. It has a pattern and actually you can predict its changes
Only 8 years
I Like the quality of your video specially in the start , can I ask you what camera are u using? Please
Thank you! Canon g7x and my iPhone 11
@@SundayswithJamie thanks is it gx7 mark iii or gx7 mark ii
@@BarackQLD mark ii but I’d choose a diff camera in the future where I can connect an external mic
@@SundayswithJamie that mark iii is better because you can contact mic on it
When you started talking about the driving, that is like my nightmare 😬😬
aw i get it!! it can get pretty hectic!
St.Kilda beach? Really?
Brighton Beach, Hampton, Sandringham, Aspendale, Edithvale? All accessible by train!
these aren't really great "beaches" compared to other beaches that are less than 30-45 mins from the CBD of other capital cities. these "beaches" are part of Port Phillip Bay, so not really considered a beach by Australian standards
Hated it. Left. It's too expensive to buy a house. Prefer Cairns if I had to go back.
So how is the living cost for international students?
Planning to move to Melbourne this fall and this video was so helpful! Any recommendations for staying in the know with different festivals and events happening around the city?
i'm so happy to hear and all the best with the move! Here are a few websites that i found helpful:
