MELBOURNE, Australia! (VLOG & Travel Tips) Free Things To Do

[@petermcculloch4933]

You don't need to buy water in Melbourne.Tap water is safe to drink and refilling stations are located all around the CBD

[@elenawalker3746]

It has FLUORIDE which is toxic.

[@bartos4089]

All water naturally has minuscule qty of fluoride. Only marginal qty added which helps teeth and no proven links to problems. Hate to think what your brushing your teeth with?

[@gusdrivinginaustralia6168]

Are you aware most packaged drinks are made in Melbourne and all bottled beverages have it in them. Its harmless. ​@@elenawalker3746

Great video! I’m now a subscriber!

[@amyandaleks]

That's very kind of you! Thank you and welcome 🤍

[@bsaxon08]

Amy, you have such a great voice! You should start busking in each of these cities and do a video on where you made the most tips!

[@lindaramsay-wood5762]

And a way to fund more travels!

[@livertic]

My home, been all over the world. Its the best city ! Nice vid

[@WendyKay84]

'It was a hundred degrees earlier and kind of cold and windy' - Welcome to Victoria! Melbourne's weather is a regular feature of memes for good reason.

[@antoniochua4888]

You two just emanate good vibes!

[@amyandaleks]

Wow, that's incredibly kind! Thank you 🤍

[@MelbourneTuffCars]

Thanks for sharing the Vlog around Melbourne. As a local myself I can’t say I have every visited the state library I will have to check it out. Also like many have stated Melbournes water is perfectly fine to drink no need to buy bottled. As always if your don’t like the weather wait half hour as we can have 4 seasons in one day 😂😂😂

[@dramriddell]

I agree that you both did a great job of this tour. However, as a Melburnian, I would have suggested heading a little further out of the CBD area to get a different perspective on the city. The usual places would be Carlton, Fitzroy and Collingwood and if you were really adventurous, I'd recommend Footscray. These areas offer qualities of Melbourne that are different again. But for a few days, you did really well and the point is, you enjoyed the experience. That's all one can ask really.

[@amyandaleks]

We definitely would love to come back and I’d love to see some of the places you’d mentioned! Thank you so much for the recommendations 🥰

[@Donna-C]

Geelong, The Surfcoast & The Bellarine too! 😊

[@barnowl.]

Melbourne is the Arts, Academic, Sports, Gardens and Cultural centre of Australia. And we have he best coffee culture in the world. It was given the title of the most liveable city in the world quite a number of years by an international committee. Melbourne wraps itself around a bay with beaches, and with mountains and plains in the distance.

Weather sucks, crimes out of control. Food is good

You don't need to buy water in Australia - the tap water is excellent.

[@Roddrummer]

Welcome to Melbourne, where if you don't like the weather, wait half an hour....

[@eramsaywood]

Bloops are back!!!

[@georgepappas4628]

I noticed you both ate a lot of sweets. The CBD is great, but there is a lot to see just outside the CBD and even regional Victoria.

[@amyandaleks]

We actually probably should cut down on sweets 🫢😂 We’ll definitely explore more next time we’re in Melbourne! 🫶🏼

[@rajorshiroy8866]

Hi, could be plz tell share the details of the guided cycle tour? Thanks

We booked it with Blue Tongue Bikes! It was the electric bike tour 😊

A pavlova is basically a meringue with marshmallow (the eggwhite-based type, not the gelatine-based type) in the middle. They are served with whipped cream and fruit.

[@Donna-C]

Berries - a mix of any strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or compote OR, cream with Peppermint Crisp on top !😊

[@bramba1953]

Congratulations on your video but I hope you also visited the museum (free) and tomb of unknown soldier below the shrine they are both moving and emotional.

[@amyandaleks]

Oh my gosh, we missed that!! We’re planning on coming back and will definitely check that out 🤍

March and September are the windy months because that's when the Autumn and Spring equinoxes occur.

Myer Music Bowl. is where Adele was singing.

[@anthonypirera7598]

Why buy bottled water? When the water out of the tap is the best water you could find in the world. Wow you have a great voice

[@amyandaleks]

I agree! I’m trying to get Aleks to agree with me, too 😂 And thank you!! 🎶🤍

[@anthonypirera7598]

@@amyandaleks I have a little funny story when I land in LA and the Lady showing us our air bnb I went to drink some water out of the tap she said please don't drink the water! Coming from Melbourne I would never give it a second thought

[@amyhook8605]

Why did you spend money on water??😅

[@Jak3HxC]

Well my dear fellow thank you for asking, The Pavlova also known as Pav was created in New Zealand and has been Kiwi staple for centuries, cheers

[@Danger_Mouse_00]

Its perfectly fine and safe to drink tap water in Australia.

[@amyandaleks]

Showing this comment to Aleks and hoping the message will stick 😂

[@michaelmayo9048]

His sunburn ouch .best to stay undercover in a heat wave in Melbourne.

[@lexsaunders1742]

Why are you carrying a heavy box of water? All tap water in Australia’s major cities are clean and healthy. Melbourne is known for its excellent water.

[@amyandaleks]

I try to tell Aleks this everywhere we go! I’m hoping these comments will help him realize I’m right 😂

[@lexsaunders1742]

@@amyandaleks the Australia Alps although not very high get more snow each winter than the Swiss alps. The Aussie Alps are covered by National Parks, State Parks and Forrest reserves. In my younger days I hiked and camped in these mountains fly fishing for wild trout (I’m 76) and drank the ice cold water straight from the streams. Some times I would spend an hour watching a platypus searching for food at the bottom of the crystal clear waters. Take and don’t be afraid to drink the water.

Nothing is "free" we pay enough taxes to build and maintain these facilities and they should be free.

Ice cream. Ice and cream are two different things. Decaf coffee are two different things. Decaf is not coffee.

You buy WATER ..IN MELBOURNE???? MELBOURNE HAS THE PUREST WATER IN AUSTRALIA. AND THE WORLD. BESIDES ... there is no sense in buying ANY water. In ANY AUSTRALIAN CITY. REALLY. Duh!

[@peterbreis5407]

Sorry Melbourne but the State Library of Victoria, as lovely as it is, is not "the oldest public library in Australia". The first was the Sydney Free Public Library est 1826, which became The State Library of NSW in 1869. And please don't buy water unless you are addicted to the taste of BPA. Queuing for things you can easily get elsewhere and doing endless tours sort of defeats the "just explore" principle that I think makes discovering new cities such fun.

[@kaylagabrilaitis6734]

The State Library of Victoria is the oldest "public" library in Australia, the State Library of Sydney is the oldest "continuously operating" library in Australia. Both of these statements come from their official websites. So you are correct that Sydney's library is the oldest in Australia but it is not the oldest "public" library in Australia.

[@JBLegal09]

Lune was voted the best croissants in the world, the French weren't happy (and I'm French heritage). Why on earth you bought water, you're not in a third world country. Melbourne is regularly in the top 3 most liveable cities in the world, with 7 years as No 1. Any US cities in the Top 10? None.

[@snapper7277]

Its free cause we are taxed at 45%

[@FionaEm]

Don't be ridiculous. The first $18K is tax-free, and the tax is graduated after that.

[@georgepappas4628]

That's rubbish. Most taxpayers are paying between 32 and 37%.

[@mithrasrevisited4873]

Someone does not like Labor being in power. It seems they do not like all the services provided.

[@luborrelli8966]

You obviously don't know how income tax is calculated. We have a progressive tax system, not a flat tax. Except of course the GST (VAT)

[@robynmurray7421]

Only the portion of your income that is over $180,000 is taxed at 45 per cent. The portion of your income below that point is taxed from 19% to 37% per cent, depending on your income level.

In Australia it is "SAFE" to drink water anywhere, Not like India,Thailand, Pakistan etc etc...

Get out of the city and go too sunshine the best food from many cultures. Vietnamese,Chinese ,Afghani, Indian best food in Australia. I’ve had food from other suburbs ok not as good as sunshine.
