Love the description "So Fresh" everything looks new. Being an Australian I never understood just how new our country was until I traveled thru Europe. So nice to hear that comment.

Thanks! Yep feel like everything in Australia is new, we’re used to building from 1800th 😅

Nice. I like that you filmed it at night with the buildings as a backdrop, innovative. Also, your English is great

That is an American Opossum on the thumbnail, we don't have opossums. We have possums, who are extreamly cute and not aggressive like the opossum.

Well I did not know there was a different back then, we only meet them in dark so it can be hard to identify ✌️😁

Great video. Love your energy guys. You may be interested to know that Melbourne quickly rose up to officially be the world's richest city in the 1800's. Perth has taken over as the mining capital of the country since and in terms of cleanliness and anti-littering, it is next level. I believe Melbourne has roughly the same amount of people as the entire of Denmark. While there are skyscrapers in the CBD, just about all of us prefer to live in suburban detached single or double story homes with a front and back yard. I have to drive a little over 20 km to get into the city to get to work, but it means I can live in a tranquil area 1km from a quiet beach.

Hi and thank you for your comment! 😍 It's great info, so you are saying in Perth it is even more clean? 🔥 Yes Denmark is a small country, really small compared to Australia haha think you can drive from one side to the other in around 2-3 hours 😂

WELCOME! Make sure you go to the footy at the MCG! If you’re sport fans do a tour of the MCG on a non football day (Monday/Thursday.) Massive game this Friday night! Really, you guys should go. Bet you have fun. Go Blues!

Yeah, you are right - Perth weather is a little similar to Melbourne. It can rain a fair bit in winter. They've really had a prolonged summer over there this year but had some decent first rains last week. Melbourne does get quite a bit cooler in winter with quite a few days around 13 degrees maximum. In Perth you get a lot of days around 18 degrees and if it is really cold and raining it might get down to 16-17. A sunny day might get up to 20-21, but you are rolling the dice if you go in winter. Summers there can get super hot though as well (40+ on some days) and you may like that, particularly if heading to the beach. My favourite time in WA is spring, but that's just me. Perth has the most number of sunny days of any of the cities though. If you are wanting to see a little more of WA and you are planning on staying in the country for a while, I'd suggest going down the coast through the wine region and beaches from Busselton, Dunsborough, Yallingup, Margaret River and maybe Augusta. It is a pretty unique area and definitely not too isolated. There is a lot more to Australia than our cities. I know you might be on a budget but you should stop to have a nice meal at one of the wineries. It should be a good little adventure. There are some really nice quiet beaches but there are also some of the best surf breaks on earth down there too.

Hi Again and thanks for your comment And a lot of all those recommendations you have shared I will save them for when we are gonna travel the west coast of Australia. Australia has so good nature and animal life I was surprised and believe it is even more amazing at the West Coast 🦘📸

hi WELCOME to oz. we like to keep our cities clean because we are proud. and love living here it is our home. AND WE LOVE IT. IT is getting a bit colder winter is coming. You enjoy yourselves AND ENJOY AND HAVE FUN. EXTEnd OUR LOVE AND BEST WISHES TO OUR MARY when you get back home in Denmark. Our dear dear friend. might surprise you, but a lot of our city buildings here and Sydney are designed by Danish architects. those cat like animals you see in parks are called Possums. don;t get too friendly with them. they seem tame but they can bite. CHEERS

As a Melbunian I'll give you a 2 out of 10 rating for your few positive comments but the rest of them were negative rubbish. Melbourne has been named ' The Most Liveable City In The World' by an international panel at least seven times and always rates highly out of ALL the cities in the world. It is quite apparent that you do not know how to appreciate Marvellous Melbourne.

Thanks for your feedback! I feel like you are referring to my other video Rating Melbourne's free activities I know Melbourne is highly rated and has a lot to offer. I shared my honest experience about the free activities in Melbourne and how much value you get for visiting them as a free activities :)
