24 Hours In Melbourne Australia

When we first got to Australia, everyone kept telling us that we had to visit Melbourne, that we couldn't just visit Sydney. We had full intentions of making our way to Victoria, but we did not know how deep this Melbourne vs Sydney rivalry ran. The markets, the coffee culture, and all the AFL games--can you even compare Melbourne to Sydney?

Sydney and Melbourne has it's own charms. As a Sydneysider who loves Melbourne too, I gotta say that Sydney has pockets of what most people think would be Melbourne, we're just more lowkey about this aspect. What Melbourne doesn't have that Sydney has is the beautiful Harbours, cliffs and the city beaches with houses and bushes perched on its cliffs. But Melbourne has more of the cultural innovations and more often at the forefront of the trends in this part of the world. At the end of the day, I'm glad you guys get to visit our two big cities!

[@kerricappy4890]

Melbourne has the cliffs & beaches with houses perched on the cliffs but you have to travel out of the city to find them.

[@alfredpek2812]

[@kerricappy4890]

they are both pretty good cities

Melbourne is fun, Sydney is boring 🤣

[@steelfabric]

"Comparison is exclusively the thief of joy" - great words.

[@lachd2261]

Most Sydneysiders don’t give a crap what Melbournians think of us. This is because we actually like Melbourne - great city, great food, great art scene, great music scene, great sporting culture. Strongly recommend people travel there, you’ll have fun!

[@TheRealBobSmith.]

That perhaps was the case before Dan Andrews .

[@williams6334]

I'm from Vic and lived in Melbourne and I absolutely agree. This "rivalry" isn't one as the bickering only runs one way. The times I've been to Sydney, the people if asked really enjoy Melbourne or it doesn't factor into their lives. Sadly, people from Melbourne try and put Sydney down at any opportunity. I actually really love Sydney.

[@williams6334]

In saying that, I do like how you went to a Sydney vs WB game who are a Melbourne based team 🤣

[@kerricappy4890]

We don't mind you. It's a respectful rivalry. I feel the country has developed more into east against west these days.

[@jamiebrotherston2241]

I love Melbourne. There's an equal spread of bogans.

[@MrR3DLOOK]

You guys have worked out what in an incredibly short time that has taken almost 200 years to not work out. That is the two cities are different. Melbourne people should be proud of Sydney such a beautiful and unique city that provides amazing outdoor lifestyle that seamlessly integrates the beaches, ocean and harbour with the urban environment in an aesthetically stunning way. Sydney people should be proud of Melbourne for a being such an interesting and diverse city with surprises at every turn catering for all in an enriching and sensory experience. Both great cities to live if you immerse yourself in their features and their people!

[@OldFossil]

Glad you got to see an AFL game. It’s the greatest game in the world imo. Awesome to see you immerse yourself in Australian culture 🇦🇺

[@LisaAndJosh]

we had so much fun!! definitely a highlight of our trip

[@monogramadikt5971]

the footy in the 70s before it became corporate and family friendly was the best, lots of on field brawls and chaos lol

[@annemorris8397]

Just love the two of you. You showed Melbourne off very nicely, my hometown of 42 years. It is a very different city to Sydney, I like your Dad’s analogy that Melbourne is the family room where all the fun is.😀

[@LisaAndJosh]

thanks for the sweet comment, Anne! We love the family room :D

[@76luislara]

I have been living in Australia for almost 20 years, and as much as I like Sydney, I have to say that the food culture in Melbourne is better. Even if you go to a simple cafe for a sandwich, is delicious. Melbourne is a foodie paradise!

[@inodesnet]

12:57 the dim sim is an Australian-Chinese dish from Melbourne from pre war time. The name comes from a similar word that is from a Taishanese dialect that was common back then in Melbourne (and at the time parts of US/Canada). It’s a very common dish that is shumai inspired and is so pervasive in Aussie culture it has its own slang name - the dimmie. Dim sum on the other hand is very common in Sydney/Melbourne but know by the term Yum Cha (cantonese - drink tea). It’s a phrase really synonymous with Cantonese breakfast/lunch serving of both dim sum and tea simultaneously

[@mnm8818]

I was trying to find if they went to the Asiany/ Chinese-y area of Melb. but they had a dim sim in a generic cafe? what a disaster for trying Asian cuisine lol (though they are Americans)

[@paulgalea638]

Glad you made it to Melbourne and saw some of the sights around town. Thanks to your Parents Josh. It looks like they helped salvage your trip here in Australia. Aussie Rules is a hugely popular game here. Melbournians live and breath the game. As for Vic Market, I have fond memories as a kid eating those American Donuts. Not sure if they are anything like the ones you have back home. Safe travels and I look forward to your next travel destination. Cheers, Stef

Great that you got to an AFL game! I'm not a great football fan, but of all the various football codes around the World, this has to be the most exciting to watch. Just not on TV though! You have to be there, as so much of the action is off the ball. Go the Swans (next time maybe) I'm from Sydney 🙂 And hey, both cities are great, just really different.

[@inodesnet]

11:09 Although Myki is a pain to start with, the fares deducted are fairly reasonable. At the weekend there are flat, unlimited trips for a very affordable price which makes being a tourist (or a local) on these days to be a real blast. Trivia… Melbourne has the worlds largest tram system (at one point Sydney’s system was even larger). The size is large enough that ever single tram and light rail system in the US added together is less in track distance to Melbourne

[@LisaAndJosh]

yeah! we gathered that Myki would be a great thing for us had we stayed a bit longer, but since we were leaving the next day, we just walked and took a taxi back :) we loved the trams and were impressed at hour expansive the system ran

[@Pat-TMW]

Ppl in Sydney wish their city was run like it is in Melbourne whilst Melbournians wished their city looked like Sydney (harbour). Most sensible people from each city envy each other for specific reasons but respect and appreciate them for what they offer 👍🏼

[@buda3d2007]

Having lived in both Sydney & Melbourne, Melbournians bag Sydney all the time whilst Sydneysiders always speak fondly of visiting Melbourne but seem oblivious to the rivalry most of the time.

14:00 fairy penguins have a very strict annual lifecycle they stick to, so not all times or locations will guarantee a spotting. Phillip island is best spot because when they’re breeding and not visible, you can see them from vantage points they provide

this is helpful, thanks! we also wondered if we didn't stick around late enough til after sunset!

As a melbourne resident it’s super frustrating that you can’t use your credit card to pay for the tram. I’d say with 4 of you you’d be better off to use Uber to get around melbourne than all pay for the tram. Love to see your exploring my city!

[@LisaAndJosh]

yes! we ended up taking a taxi back from St Kilda, just made the most sense. We get the value of transportation cards like Myki, but agreed--cc would be so much more handy! :)

[@geoffmaloney2717]

Born and bred in Sydney, have lived (in Western Bulldogs district) Melbourne for 30 plus years. Still go to Sydney for holidays. Both cities are great. Have family in Sydney, raised mine in Melbourne. Would have been cheaper to catch a cab to St.Kilda (my AFL team BTW) with four of you. The penguins only come back to nest at sunset, may have been a bit light for you. Was at Marvel with more than 30,000 in the house on Sunday and the place rocked. Glad you enjoyed Aussie Rules too bad you didn't have an Aussie near you to help you out, it is a great game but takes a long time to fully understand. Glad you enjoyed both Sydney and Melbourne, and yes a big country. Going to the North West in August, a place called Broome, takes seven hours to get to by plane from Melbourne. One big country.

[@LisaAndJosh]

awesome! we had a great time in both!! we ended up taking a cab back to Melbourne from St Kilda after the long walk. thanks for the comment and for watching!

Melbourne if you like 4 seasons in one day, ocean temperatures in summer to cold, basically to far south

We were just comparing them yesterday at our family gathering. We're Australian and we're entitled to do it. As one of the family members said, it depends where in the City you go, there are dumps in both of them and good parts also.

[@cinemiguel-visionsforinspi3462]

Both cities have their own charm and beauty, Sydney has more of it's natural beauty that I love, the beaches, the forests, the bush, the mountains, cliffs that Melbourne is lacking but both cities are great.

[@ericnoack]

you can buy chicken salt at the super market but unfortunately it tastes nothing like the stuff they use in take aways.

[@ericnoack]

penguins are at Phillip island but it s a trip you have to buy and it's at night. It's a sad at times ....the parents of the chicks go out all day and fish they return in the evening to feed the young ,and the young stand outside the burrows waiting for the return of their parents, but sometimes they don't return as sharks take them on a regular basis.

[@peterbreis5407]

Did you see the scale model of the Solar System stretching from the Sun in St Kilda to Pluto in Port Melbourne? I found that mind blowing. Makes you realise just how far apart all the planets are. You can see the baby Little Penguins amongst the rocks in the breakwater. You have to hunt around. They hide but peak out at you.

[@gaeshows1938]

chicken salt = salt + chicken bouillon powder

[@monitorjain7806]

Confessions of a Melbournian: - Coffee scene in Sydney is comparable - Melbourne and Sydney don’t need to compete with one another except rugby or football - Both are iconic cities in their own right. Sydney being a bigger global icon. - Love the beaches, ferry rides, walk outside, CBD, diverse groups, harbour views in Sydney - Love the bush walk, Yarra trails, city walks, food and art scene, hippy burbs, and laid back attitude in Melbourne - People in Sydney seem in a faster pace, struggling with bills hence smile lesser (not that they are unfriendly) - People in Melbourne are quick to say gday, smile, chit-chat and gab. Even if they aren’t friendly, they’d say good morning. It’s a habit. - Transport is better in Sydney city-wide. Transport is better in Melbourne CBD and inner suburbs. Both airports are fine (Sydney seems a bit more flash, Melbourne airport seems well integrated in terms of ease of access). - I enjoy both.

It just takes a couple viral vids. We'll see you at 100k! Once you get there, you'll start getting serious sponsorship offers for in-vid ads. I need to visit Melbourne - I loved your itinerary. I've only been to Syd/Brisbane/Gold coat/Whitsunday Islands. Flight to Singapore? Maybe heading to Korea? Or to other Asian countries or are we on the way to Europe? I think your spirits really picked up since you got rid of that stinkin' van and saw your family. Here's an idea - if Lisa is missing her fam - offer to pay for a ticket for a member of her fam to visit you in Europe, etc. There are some deals now if you're flexible on dates/destinations. I've done that before. The additional cost is worth the reconnection from home.

[@lunch2102]

Born and raised in Melbourne but spent some time in Sydney when I was young and again when I was mid 20s, two things I recall about Sydney - 1: driving in Sydney traffic is sketchy, if you dont wanna be stuck in traffic for hours, you gotta make super quick decisions and you gotta commit 100% to whatever your decision is, very small margin for error. 2: cockroaches, I was considering moving to Sydney until I had a roach the size of my fist run up my back while I was asleep.. aaahah no thanks!!

For tourists you are better off looking for discarded Myki cards go to the met outlet at the station and get them registered and then add funds to them.

Mum's family was in Sydney, Dad's in Melbourne.... so spent plenty of time in each city. And although I'm a happy Melbournian... I think Sydney is a great city. Both have their pros and cons and it's all subjective. The reason one might love a city can be the reason another hates it. End of the day... You're in Australia and there is a reason 5 of our cities dominate the "Most Livable Cities" each year. Just enjoy them for what they have to offer and leave the rivalry to the sports teams.

Sydney has the harbour which is always amazing every time you walk along the foreshore, but Sydney has lost its soul, Melbourne still retains its soul.

That makes me second, lol! Did you guys have to practise dropping the 'R' in Melbourne in order to pronounce it as "Melbun" like the Aussies do?

that answers my question in a previous video if you are australian, i guess not hehe i used to live in the western suburbs of melbourne, i grew up there, moved to a town 30 min drive from brisbane qld, on the redcliffe peninsula in my early 20s, back to the same area in melb for the rest of my life until 2013 we moved to northern tasmania :) to the launceston area :) all 3 states are stunning, in there own rights :) but melb will always be home to me :) as for sydney and melbourne, im 52 and its been city against city for as long as i remember hehe both beautiful big cities, but completley different in there own way. i would be happy to live in eithers inner city area :) we will be going to sydney to do our cruise at the end of next month then again in november :) cant wait to travel there again, its been maybe 15 years since ive been to nsw so really looking forward to it :) oh and were off to melbourne i two weeks too :)
