If you guys are interested in 150+ year old architecture you might take a day trip to Ballarat, a regional city to Melbourne’s west which was the centre of our gold rush in the mid 1800s. Over in Western Australia just south of Perth is Freemantle which is rich in old times character .As for the Italian influence in Melbourne, there was a big influx of Italians after WW11. Many came to Australia because we needed workers and they were initially put to work building the massive Snowy River Scheme.

My mum grew up in Carlton then married and moved to the suburbs, so my siblings and I had to have turns at staying at Nan & Pas in Carlton. I remember all those streets in your vid. I remember the old shopkeepers and neighbours.Nan & Pa would take us out, walk or travel to the city. Nan was born in 1886 and sadly passed aged 92. Pa passed in his 80s. Wonderful Happy memories of my childhood - and the streets of Carlton.

Carlton is one of the inner suburbs that has terrible parking so I wasn't surprised to hear you say that lol. But, the rest of the place makes up for it. It does get very very busy at night time. It was the Italians that first brought over their coffee machines so they are really behind the Melbourne coffee expansion. I used to be a tour guide for the Royal Exhibition Building. It's a wonderful building with an amazing history. Australia's federal parliament was officially opened inside that building in 1901. It's been used for a wide variety of things since then.

I'm a 4th generation Aussie and a 72 year old grandmother and I found your channel by chance recently. I've watched many videos of yours now, but still have a lot of catching up to do! I love your enthusiasm and interest wherever you travel. I'm thrilled you are enjoying magnificent Melbourne where I've always lived. However, I also love Germany and Ireland. Both exceptionally beautiful countries. I was in Ireland in April (2nd visit) but my first time in Tipperary looking into my heritage. Anyway, keep having fun and safe travels. P.S. Carlton (Lygon St) is very busy in the evenings with lots of atmosphere. The Botanical Gardens are nice (and free). You could also take a ferry from Southbank or a train from Flinders Street Station to Williamstown. I'm sure you would like the old architecture in that suburb.

Williamstown is a great suggestion! Historic town where the ships used to come in with all the goods from Europe and UK. Also, you can get the train there and then a ferry back to Melbourne CBD. The ferry is a great trip across the bay and then up the Yarra River, under all the bridges, gorgeous old and new architecture, and stops just near Flinders Street station/Southbank.

Happy memories of my childhood, some things have changed. My grandparents and my mother lived in Carlton off Lygon St. I loved sleeping over at Nana & Pa’s, shopping in Carlton, visiting their friends, or Nan taking me into the city. So close to the city, but also lots of gardens and a lovely atmosphere. Nan was born in 1886 and lived till age 92. A beautiful Nan & Pa who took us out everywhere around Carlton and beyond 💞

Alot of the Italians came to Australia as refugees at the end of WW2. Carlton is where the coffee culture began in Australia.in the 1950's and 1960's. Lygon St is famous for its restaurants. There is a French biscuit called a madeleine. The best pizza restaurant is in the nearby suburb of Brunswick. The owner and chef won the world's best pizza in an Interntional competition in Rome against over 600 chefs from around the world. He only uses the best ingredients imported from Italy.

@@cathykemMany Italians were brought to Australia as prisoners of war. Australia captured tens of thousands in North Africa. At the end of the war many of them didn't want to return to Italy and stayed here and got employment on farms or moved to towns to find work. I went to primary school with kids from Germany and Poland whose homes were destroyed in the war.

Glad you went to Brunetti's, it's an icon, but they were just a little shop in Faraday Street serving cakes over the counter and their new place looks a little like an exclusive food court.

A lot of people do exams at the exhibition building. If you want a good place for dinner, Papa Ginos is incredible. The owners are the same people that founded it way back when, and theyve just announced theyre gonna sell it soon. Its one of the more famous restaurants on Lygon. The melbourne museum IMAX isnt really your normal cinema, they do mostly nature related documentary films, though they do have a few showings of the really big movies. Funnily enough, the main cinema in carlton is the Nova, which was next to brunettis inside that little shopping center. It is still a bit hipster, and the cinema is smaller. Theres a few big cinemas in the city that people would usually go to. Also theres no x is espresso :p Aaaaaand I believe the most Australian dessert is the Vanilla slice. Everywhere in australia you can find them in cafes, and the more regional, the better they seem to be. If youve never had one, I highly recommend.

If you guys get a chance you should try and go to the botanical gardens in Dandenong as in my opinion it's better than the one in the city. Cape Schanck near Sorrento is also a really good place to go to after to watch the sunset. They're both a but of a drive from the CBD, but even if I live all the way in Geelong at least once every three months I visit the cape in the east side. Also you guys should try Ethiopian coffee, bunch of really good Ethiopian restaurants in Footscray. I promise you it won't disappoint!

It’s a shame you didn’t pop into the old Melbourne Cemetery while in Carlton. It’s fascinating

you need to try a classic Italian-Australian sandwich called the conti (for continental). Trust me!

The reason I try not to talk about the places I have been.Someone always points out if I had turned left and not right, climbed to the top of the hill, taken a slight detour or entered a particular building.

@ try central coast and the wineries (and Sabor)around Newcastle….though Melbourne seems more compressed together (more things closer to each other) anyway I hope you continue to enjoy yourselves. Cheers. Not many ppl go to the western suburbs (Parramatta) out side of Sydney. When does Glen get time to ‘work out’?

I was born in the 1950s. My Nan and pa lived in Carlton. Mum grew up there. I remember as a child seeing quite a few of Chinese people there, and Italian, and lots of Australians as well, quite cosmopolitan and as a child everyone seemed friendly when Nan took me out 😊
