Fun fact: my friend Sharon actually helped me with the very first video I edited. This was in 2009 when I was living in Portland, Oregon and I came across an online travel contest in which the winners would be flown to Australia to help promote tourism in the country by filming their travels in a van for several weeks, all of it paid for. This was years before Sharon moved to Australia. She also lived in Portland and had imovie on her computer, so I used that to edit the video. It's nothing impressive, very simple which is one of the reasons I didn't win, I'm sure. But you have to start somewhere. You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZitY6uCnreBjZY

G'day Gabriel, great footage once again. Awesome to show the library. I can see your enjoying yourself and catching up with your friend of many years. May I give a hint ....I know your going to Cairns but Port Douglas is the spot. Just up the road. Around 55 kilometres. Looking forward to view you next travel experience

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

@@FarAwayInWA Yeah I sorta screwed up, people had told me to head up there but I booked three nights in Cairns and it's quite the tourist scene but with no beach. I'm sure I'll make the most of it and will definitely head up to Port Douglas, either on a day trip or for a couple nights after here.

Wow, great story, Gabriel, nice to hear it. I believe that it was worth coming to Australia also because of that.

Beautiful 360p. So you're now using a 5.3K resolution compared to 360p,, what a difference in how more clearly we see your travels.

[@mcb5642]

@@GabrielTravelerVideos You also can't swim in the ocean up there this time of year because of the Irukandji jellyfish. Although if you travel out to the reef you can swim there. Best place for the beach this time of year is South-East Queensland and then heading south into NSW. I'd suggest making your way down here after Cairns, but then it looks like the weather might turn rainy here in SE QLD as well next week.

I live in Sydney, but gosh I love Melbourne and glad you’re enjoying it. There used to be a stupid competition between the cities, but I reckon we’re so different and unique by now that it’s no longer relevant and we can celebrate both equally… and least that’s the feeling I get amongst Sydneysiders nowadays. I’m certain it’s now much the same amongst Melbournians too these days.

Aussies from other cities never compare or compete. Perhaps they have nothing else to talk about, idk.

OMG Gabriel it looks amazing, I can live there

[@showmemelbourne]

Great video! Sharon got it mostly right about the Yarra River. When the Europeans asked what the name of the river was, they were actually standing beside a small waterfall. It was the waterfall that was called Yarra Yarra, which meant "always flowing". The aboriginal people called the river Birrarung which means "river of mist". The park between Federation Square and the MCG is called Birrarung Marr which translates to "beside the river of mists".

As a Sydneysider I would say that Melbourne is absolutely the coolest city in Australia. Still, having grown up in the southern suburbs of Sydney, I would prefer to live in Sydney because of the beaches, waterways and National Parks. Love to visit though. Melbourne is known for having “four seasons in one day” so it’s great to see you have finally found some sunny weather, though ironic it’s in Melbourne after a rainy Sydney. More often than not it’s he other way around. Wow St Kilda food prices are up there with Sydney prices. Don’t remember that being the case the last time I was there which I just realised was 9 years ago! Time to visit again.

This is so cool! Almost exactly 10 years ago, I visited Melbourne to watch the Australian Formula One Grand Prix. I stayed with a great friend in St Kilda! She lived in the building above the KFC you mentioned and her partner at the time was a chef at a restaurant in Fed Square! I loved the city and area and this brought back some great memories. A connection with Sydney is that you mentioned an amusement park near the base of the Harbour Bridge opposite the Opera House in one of your Sdney videos - that is also a Luna Park.

Melbourne is pronounced Melburn…dont get it wrong ,as that is frowned upon by many..

[@judileeming1589]

Lucky you. The weather cooperated for your photographic ramble (meant in the walking sense), but then I thought, as all Melburnians do, “Hey it’s Melbourne, give it an hour or two …”. Melbourne was not much of a town until Gold was discovered in the 1800’s but at the peak of the Gold Rush, Melbourne was the richest town on Earth so a lot of good architecture combined with the wide grid street layout and historical preservation being key, the blend of old with new blends IMHO. I hope you were able to experience some good weather for the remainder of the Melbourne leg of your trip.

I've drove from Melbourne, along the coast to Jervis Bay, to Canberra, Sydney, Gold Coast, ended in Brisbane. I think Melbourne is my favorite. ALL those Cities (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane) are well worth a visit though. Sydney is BEAUTIFUL (almost sensory overload, it's so beautiful). Brisbane is really nice, and for me, seemed the best for families. But Melbourne and the state of Victoria in general are my favorites. Honestly, I can't say why I liked Melbourne more, I just did. It was very walkable. The CBD is not too big.
