As a hobbyist photographer for some time I really did appreciate both the quality and the quantity of the many angles filmed! While I'm grateful to be living in London (and while the rain is not the problem) the lack of brightness in the air does start to be on my mind much more often 😭 Thank you for your work! 💛🧡

@@karlhoward2737I always thought Jersey was an ideal place,with warm Gulf Stream waters and an affluent population, and no unemployment etc. Why would you want to leave that. Also, isn’t it the case that it’s very hard to get residency to live in Jersey? Incidentally, I live in Melbourne.

[@jjjddd231]

If I could I'd move to Europe in a blink. There is no culture of note in Australia. There is no cuisine of note in Australia. The people are for the most part unsophisticated, uncivilised and many are extremely rough around the edges. There is increasing levels of crime everywhere and none of the main cities are safe after dark. The summer heat in many parts is absolutely brutal. In the southern states, swimming in the beaches means you are shark bait. Do yourself a huge favour and abandon any thought of moving to Australia. There are so many incredible and infinitely better European locations for you to consider, especially on the Mediterranean.

[@malcolmwarner589]

A well presented video of my home city. Just a few comments especially to respond to those already posted. Melbourne is not always grey, in fact this video was posted on a clear blue winters day it seems. Melbourne does have challenging weather, but it's mild with the exception of the occasional heat wave. No climate is perfect, in fact I live mostly in the Asian tropics and the 4 month long wet season is hideous with its off the scale humidity. Fact : Melbourne has much less annual rainfall than Sydney. This video was deliberately focused on the livability of CBD and inner suburbs (although sadly the west was committed) I used to live in Albert Park for 20+ years, so St Kilda was my playground. Currently I live in Fitzroy (on the Carlton border) and wouldn't live anywhere else. South Yarra has never been a favourite, I personally find it bland and homogenised (Richmond is much more interesting) All these places are blessed with huge parks and public spaces, well served by different modes of public transport. And yes it is expensive, the price you pay for all these conveniences. In summary, we all have different preferences and needs. As a retiree of 70, I would move back to Melbourne in a heartbeat.

[@samuelaraujo9959]

What a great video. Thank you so much for all of your hard work on this. I got curious: what neighborhood offers easy access to theaters, venues, and night clubs? I see St. Kilda has a lot of bars and venues, but I wonder it also has all of the night clubs.

[@sandystockholm74]

Hello and thanks for another great video! I would really love to see a video on other more family friendly suburbs to consider, still offering good coffee spots, restaurants but also kid friendly places and parks. I’ve lived in Sydney for 8 years and am now back in Europe but would like to move to Melbourne with my 5 year old 😊 but we’re on a budget of max 500$ pw. I’ve considered areas such as Brunswick or because of school choice Caulfield and surrounding suburbs. Thanks in advance! 😊

[@Michael-AUS]

In my opion, Parkville is a great place. Lots of parks and kid friendly. It's next to Carlton and city CBD as well (which are featured in this video).

[@hw7029]

All the suburbs shown here have a large number of 1 bedroom apartments. Australians typically don’t live in 1 bedroom apartments - this is aimed at people who are passing through Melbourne for a short period of time who haven’t put down roots (once you have a partner and/or children/pets you won’t fit in a 1 bedroom apartment any more)!

[@MsBrownEyedGirl96]

Would appreciate advice on suburbs for families with small children, activities/safety wise. Near work in Collingwood:)

[@gillianwatt7421]

I'd advise moving to a suburb along the either the Hurstbridge or Epping train lines which would give you public transport access to Collingwood. Macloed is a cute suburb with a village feel. Or further out there is Eltham which has a bush vibe but it is quite a long way out.

[@judileeming1589]

$ price for renting or buying doesn’t just depends on the property size. School zones can be a major factor. Good public (government) schools can save parents tens of thousands of dollars in private school fees. A lot of $smart parents rent or buy in a particular zone for the first four years of a child’s Secondary education and save their money to put their child into a top private school for the final two years to raise their chances of achieving a place at a preferred University. It’s a strategy some are prepared to take but still depends on the student achieving a good VCE score. University places depend on availability and overseas students, especially Asian students, pay a lot of money to attend Australian universities so competition for placement in some subjects is strong. Melbourne has over 280K students attending our 8 Universities spread out over many campuses. There are over 1K suburbs so research will be important if you have higher education expectations for your children. In conjunction with our Universities we also have TAFE colleges that provide vocational training and there are trade schools. I can’t speak to housing around Collingwood because I live in the outer Eastern suburbs. Each suburb will have play grounds, sporting facilities and parks and gardens. Child care and kindergarten placements are something I can’t tell you anything about as I have been the provider of childcare in my family of my grandchildren. I hope this info helps.

[@Mr.J_aust]

Anyone please reply.. whats the difference between suburbs and regional areas? Thanks ❤

[@PatracatsOtherPlace-js2wy]

Suburbs are the 'towns' around the Melbourne Central Business district. People who work in the CBD usually commute from the surrounding suburbs. Regional areas are small cities or large towns in the countryside of Victoria that are not near Melbourne CBD.

Winter days usually have a minimum of about 6 degrees and a maximum of about 12 or 14. It used to snow occasionally in Melbourne, but it does not any more, although there are ski resorts nearby that are an easy day trip.

[@EyepopTheSailorMan]

Snow in metropolitan Melbourne is almost a once-in-a-lifetime freak event near sea level -- approximately never a thing. Though peaks on the city fringe (maybe 600m+ altitude) can get a light dusting a few times per winter. Australians like to complain about Melbourne winters but frankly you can get away with little more than a t-shirt a fair proportion of the time :).

[@russisland164]

Nice Video BUT never play music whilst people are talking or narrating. The music competes with the spoken word for your brains' attention and makes it harder to concentrate and comprehend what is being said. It is simply a distraction. Music can still be used, just not when there is the spoken word. This is the number rule for all documentaries professional or casual.
